Also, WHAT BUMPER IS HE USING??

[For anyone whos really wanted to see a Z drift]

You can drift without aftermarket helpers to the steering angle, I've done quite a bit of pavement drifting in the z. However more angle needs to be added asap to be competitive at all.

This is very interesting, been looking for a cheap 2mm HG for a while.

Sounded like that clutch was slipping.

 

 

he's new at shifting, he was trying not to nacker the clutch, i thought the same thing and we talked afterward lol

Instead of a boring exhaust vid, we made this for my friends L28 relatively stock 280z, Straight Pipe!

 

 

Enjoy

Its probably going to be a "make one" or find one that fits kind of thing. Mk1 Rabbits have similar ones that I've heard fit on z cars with modification, but don't quote me on that.

[240z wont go]

If you give the car more than a little bit of gas does it stay stationary? As in the engine revs, but the car really isn't moving (very diagnostic if you can do this facing uphill)? Does the car stall when it's in gear?

 

If the clutch assembly isn't working properly or the slave is supplying partial pressure, or the clutch assembly was installed incorrectly it can be causing pre-emptive slip. So even when you are completely off the pedal the motor isn't fully engaged to the transmission.

 

I know anecdotes aren't the best, but we had a friend that just replaced his clutch and had the same problem. Car would start and rev perfectly fine, but wouldn't move unless it was fed gas at a very slow rate, could barely go up hills as the clutch continued to slip. At the time we thought it was either air in the clutch line, or a problem with the clutch pedal return spring or something of the sort as he swore up and down he installed everything correctly. Turned out he didn't torque his pressure plate down 100% and either the bolts rattled loose or he sheered them so the clutch was backing off of the motor when it supplied too much torque, so it would only move when engine speeds were very very low and was only engaging from the pressure the throwout bearing was putting on the pressure plate/clutch.

 

 

+1, had this happen before. Beginners mistake, happens to the best of us.

[rear bumper vs fender flares]

Your assumption is wrong.

 

This post is a very helpful post.

[tire size on lowered z]

What offset rims do you have? You should not have any trouble fitting that.... you are changing the HEIGHT of the tire(and not even that much), not the width.

 

Don't do it like this:

 

 

If you do that method carefully, it really isn't that bad lol. We heated the fender and then rolled mine that way, turned out 100% a-okay. Then again we went really slow and pulled up on the jack handle at each point for lots of roll.

 

I mostly did it to roll the inner lip.

I tried the corporate world, couldn't handle the BS. Now i'm my own boss being a grease monkey, definitely my favorite lifestyle. I'd rather be happy and have an okay amount of money than depressed and do nothing but work and have money.

you know you own a datsun when you drive 3 hours in 105 degree heat with no ac and still love every minute of it.

 

you know you own a datsun when you use the transmission tunnel to keep warm when your heater isnt working.

 

 

try 11 hours and 1000 miles Billings Montana to Seatte in 1 Solid Day, black car, NO A/C, middle of summer. Good times stopping off at moses lake just to jump in and buy a bag of ice to hang off the mirror
