    Evan - I'm sorting the same issue. It's very suttle but it's aggravating. I suspected a wheel bearing even through I I had replaced both sides so re torqued them still no change. While I had the car up I decided to check the inner tie rods as I had already replaced the outer when I did the wheel bearings. I did find a little bit of play on the right side so that on the list to do. Also, I going to switch out the 13" steering wheel for a 14". I think the smaller wheel enhances ANY vibration. The off to alignment.

    Thanks, but like I've said before your post and advice made it much, much easier than if I would have started from scratch. Nice. I haven't jumped on it yet because I'm a little concerned that the stock stub axle might give up. I think I'm going to upgrade to cv's. No I did it after the trans was in. I looked at the plastic console and it just wasn't hacking it so got some 16 gauge metal and fabed it in two pieces and covered it with foam and vinyl. I'm going to redo the armrest as it is just a little too low. I have some pictures that I'll post.

    Not sure where to put this but WOW

    That car was located six miles from me. I was contacted by the executor of estate to see if I was interested in making an offer. I drove up at looked the car over and made an offer of 30k. I believe it was worth around 40K+. The executor called me back and said that the Z Club that he belonged to ( I believe it was in Maryland) stated that they were interested in keeping it in the club, no problem. SO, a few weeks go by and low and behold I see it on BAT. I see that the seller is located in Oklahoma so my first thought was that the club that he was a member in did flip it. He also had two other Datsuns that a friend of mine bought for $1500 each.
