Electric Power Steering Information Compiled
socorob replied to seattlejester's topic in Fabrication / Welding
I copied the following from the sloppy mechanics on facebook, so don't know personally for sure this will work: Someone used everything off the saturn but like 6" of the spline part that goes into the steering box. I used a NRG 177h steering wheel adapter (fits the saturn steering wheel spline) and aftermarket steering wheels. and for full disclosure- i had to trim off part of the nrg adapter, all the outer lip where the nrg logo is at on the amazon pic. but it was due to the housing that encloses my turn signal/wiper stalk assembly -
Can anyone identify these Z hook style windshield wipers?
socorob replied to socorob's topic in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z
These are for the earlier Z wipers that you just change the blades on. -
Techno Toy Tuning or Apex Engineered have the tie rods. I got TTT to make mine longer so I could get as much camber as I would ever want. With the stock tie rod ends, I could barely get -1.5 camber with just maybe 1/2" threads left in the tie rods. I wasn't comfortable with such little engagement so I got the others and had them made longer. I'm sure apex would probably do the same if you ask.

The only thing about the Hoke kit is if you ever want to use the apex engineered cross member, I think you'd be out of luck. Or if for some reason you wreck your crossmember and his goes NLA.

TrackZpeeds CXRacing LS1 T56 240z
socorob replied to trackzpeed's topic in Gen III & IV Chevy V8Z Tech Board
What model are those seats, and what is the width of the seat bottom near the hinge, including the lever that tilts the seat? I have Miata seats set lower and they touch the tunnel and the lever touches the outer sill... I would like to find more supportive seats but need my seat to stay low. -
Its for the ball blower under the steering column.

Early Q45 Rear Wheel Bearings
socorob replied to socorob's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
See how the top one has 2 small holes and the bottom one has 1? Mine only have 1 hole with a stud in it. Just by looking, I can't tell any other differences. -
I have the TTT Q45 setup on my car, and I used the rear wheel hubs with bearings that I got from the car I pulled the rear setup out of. The car had 130000ish miles on it. I want to put new bearings on when I change my spring rate soon. There are left and right versions of these. Some I found don't specify if they are right or left, several say right only, and I have yet to see one that says left. The part number from a lot of manufacturers seem to be 511011. Looks like it was used in the Q45 and Z32 Turbo. The non turbo Z32 has a similar looking hub, but from what I can tell has a smaller bore. I really would like to just get bearings and press them in, not get a whole hub. I see in pictures online these part numbers marked on the bearings: NTN HUB030 OL AB245WX 511011 MB BH511011 38030316 Does anyone have a part number for just replacement bearings for these, or for a left hand hub? It seems like the only difference that I can discern between the left and the right is the single little stud sticking out of the top. In the photos on some replacements, they show 2 holes in the top where it looks like you could press your stud out and put it on the side you need it to be on. Am I correct in thinking this? I want to have the parts in hand before I tear the car apart. Nothing worse than tearing something apart and not having the right parts to put it back together.

A musician's therapist (The $300 Z)
socorob replied to Zetsaz's topic in S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z
My friend took his tank to a radiator shop that dipped the tank and then sealed it. I think it wasn't that much more than buying the stuff and trying to do it yourself. He did the try it yourself with a chain but it didn't get everything out and clogged his injectors, so the sealer kit plus injector cleaning costed him more than taking it to a place. -
If you use lizard skin, go to the dollar store and get a few rolls of the cheap aluminum foil to foil the holes. Prep takes a while, but it only takes minutes to spray the car. The nice thing is, you can cover everything. I did my Z with lizard skin, and my previous car with dynamat. I much prefer lizard skin for performance, ease to apply (the dynamat sucked to apply), and weight. Dynamat is heavy stuff.

look at the pictures on the post from Feb 9, 2014, and you can see how I mounted them in a 280. Not sure how much different the 240 mounting points are. This was a Gen 2 compaq.

It just keeps the door handle from clanging if you let it go. It's basically a silencer.

I'm not interested but it looks like it could be a good option for someone who has a bad dash and wanting to have a racepac digital race dash. https://www.jegs.com/i/RacePak/806/25DSIQ3/10002/-1?CAWELAID=230006180037964817&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=47430200350&CATCI=pla-324540406200&CATARGETID=230006180040342498&cadevice=c&gclid=CjwKCAjw0ujYBRBDEiwAn7BKt3UsRTa7LzHGZ9Da5BxZrdanpNCsZik6VzCb1YBj6Z3jF5qMWWBnQxoCIzgQAvD_BwE

Are you going to the wanna go fast 1/2 mile shootout at NOLA motorsports park?

Does this install onto the original dash frame? Would it fit a stock Z if someone was wanting a custom dash?

Saturn Electric Power Steering In A Datsun 280Z
socorob replied to socorob's topic in Fabrication / Welding
I left the ground connection on and reused it, and also fished the power wire with the inline fuse all the way to the battery, and reused all that too. That let me use the proper fuse. It's fairly easy to pull the Saturn columns. On 1 of the 2 cars I pulled them from I lucked out as someone had pulled the engine already, so everything was in the open. The pullapart in Baton Rouge only charged me $45 each with the steering wheel, airbag, everything still attached. Down here I don't thin many people were using these, at least at the time. I've seen several and never saw one missing the column. -
Way to get right into it!

Make sure you fit everything in place before you do any tack welding. Someone else's may vary from mine somewhat. -
Rear Hatch Sill Replace it or wait it out.

Since thats not really a structural piece, I used body panel glue will a few spot welds all around. -

Are you going with a fuel cell? If not, I have an extra spare tire well in perfect condition.
