4runnerguy Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 what is the best way to remove bolt from here? i herd that there is a tool to take it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The little guy in the middle? Just soak in penetrant and tap out with hammer. The one you have to worry about is called the spindle pin, use that as a search term. By the looks of your strut housing, you're in for a treat!

motoman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Get a hack saw and cut in between the two to separate them. Then just get a hammer and hit it back and fourth until it comes out. Make sure you tap the lock bolt out too. It will come out with a good hit from a hammer. If you don't feel like paying for a new spindle pin you can get a 5/8 x 10" grade 8 bolt. It will work just as fine. Edited June 27, 2011 by motoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4runnerguy Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 thats the route i disided to do by the bolts plus i got to wait a couple weeks to get the studs. now im looking at rims, is there any other make that follow the rotas 17x9.5 -19 17x9 -13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4runnerguy Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Update So this gem isn't as good as i thought. As i teared down the car i started finding more and more rust. i will be posting more pictures. So pretty much the front section of the car is all rust, I started to look for another one in better condition and i found one 3&half hours away from me. i picked up this 1972 datsun for 1000$ the car came with no motor or trans. As u can see there barely is no rust at all on this one. The po told me it came from alabama. this car in this condition for cheap is hard to come by in canada. now the orange is going to be my parts car, soon as my the car is gutted its goin to scrap.

camerashy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 What are the air tubes like front under the front wings? Nice to see some other Ontario Z'rs on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplyedmind Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Maybe you could sell the orange one and someone else might wanna try and get it back on the road. It still looks pretty nice non the less , And they are hard to come across in your location I'd imagine. But I must say the new one u picked up seems pretty darn close to rust free.

4runnerguy Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 No the orange one is in really bad shape if anyone still wants it ok. its only goin to be a shell everything else is comin off. The cars front clip, firewall, inner rockers, floors will all need to be replaced. Unless some one makes a tube frame and uses only the outer shell for being a shell that's all it will be good for.

4runnerguy Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 i got a question i tried searching but nothing came up. i am doing a l28et swap into my 240z. I got the complete motor from a 1982, however it did not come with harness or computer i am planing on using megasquirt. do i still need the harness or computer from a 82 or 83 zxt?
