  1. ok my driver side rear wheel cylinder went out so i had to get a new one. My car sat for about a month with a leaking rear cylinder. I replace it then when I'm done bleeding my brakes i notice that my brake pedal is soft when i push it slow but when i step on it fast its hard...Is their air in the line? or is it my master cylinder ? or my brake booster?... -there are no other leaks -oh and real quick: my can leaks oil under the oil filter somewhere...anyone else have this problem or is it just my fliter? thnks guys any help would be much appretiated. -jeremy
  2. the rock protectors were just in my garage my dad had them for his old austin healy...
  3. z's, paintballs, and fishing FTW bass fishing is the best but i havent caught anything in a while...
  4. i was just wondering why people remove their rear sway bar...i have been searching through the forums and i see some people have removed their rear sway bar...wats the benefit of that? just curious thnks
  5. srry there wasnt that much oil that came out i jus notices because it was all over my hands and started dripping on the floor...
  6. ok so i was putting my driver side front strut assembly back into my car from changing the springs and bushings and as i tip it over to clear the fender this oil comes from where the strut cartridge is. the thing is that i noticed that the strut was easier to push down then the passenger side struts...is my strut blown or is my gland nut not tight? if its not blown and its weak and leaking because i didnt tighten the gland nut all the way can i recharge my struts with thicker oil? wat kind should i use? thnks guys
  7. -the wire diameter of the honda is 7/16in. and the springs in the front(rear datsun springs) will be cut 1 coil to balance with the honda springs ok through http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/coilspringrate.htm i found that the spring rates of the honda springs alone are 133lb if i cut 3 coils off of the left side i will get 150lbs and the same height as 1 coil off of datsun springs but if i cut 4 coils off of the left side i will get 171lbs and it will be the same height as a datsun spring minus 2 coils...(what i originally going to do) so yea what do you guys think? btw theese are the accord rear springs..the front springs are smaller in diameter but should fit.They are 281lbs according to the website... if i were to modify them to fit on the datsun struts they would be 337lbs and would be 1 inch shorter here's a pic they are in the middle **EDIT: i dont think the spring rate website is that acurate because i put in the datsun specs into it and it gave me a 150lb spring...
  8. cuz i have no income...(im 16) well im not sure about the spring rate but it should be around 160ft/lbs...i got the springs at a really cheap price from my friend and i read that they have the same diameter as and can fit on a 280z soo i did it as an experiment. I am also moving the rear springs to the front for a stiffer spring rate and a lowered ride height. at the end the rates should be 127ft/lbs for front and obo.160ft/lbs in the rear...
  9. ok so i bought some accord springs off of ebay and im getting close to finishing. My problem is that i was hoping for the springs to be lower that the 280z springs but are exactly the same. the accord springs i think are dual rate springs.What part of the spring should i cut off, the coils off the left side or the right side? *oh yea i dunno how they should mount either... some pics... thnks guys
  10. Can you put the rear springs of a 280z on the front of a 280z? heres the srping info from another post... "280z Stock Spring info: Front Turns : 9.5 Turns Length : 15.98 inches Rate : 103 lb/in Rear Turns : 8.5 turns Length :15.4 inches Rate : 127.7 lb/in" It looks like not only would it be stiffer but shorter as well...will this work?
  11. is this all around or are they different front and rear?
  12. hey can anyone tell me the stock spring rates of a 1975 datsun 280z? thnks
  13. hi...would the dp camber plates work on a stock 1975 280z suspension or do they only work with coilovers? thnks
  14. i have a 75 280z and i jus did a 81-83 tranny swap(has a 3.54)...my car is now totally different from when i had the old 77-79 tranny in there. i was wondering what diff i should put in...a 3.9 or 4.11? thnks
