tamo3 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks LegnaZetr0, I think I sue around 40psi that manufacture specified. It's bit higher pressure than PPG. Hey Perfect240z, You can bring your car to my garage Oops!, no space right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Since my RS Watanabe wheel arrived, I never done test fitting. I'm getting tired of color sanding every night, so, it's good time to try something fun RS Watanabe R Type Front 16x8.5 -6 Rear 16x9.5 -19 With ZG flare, it's perfect fitting! It comes with lug nuts for free at sales campaign. It's too nice to use it. But, I can't use Datsun original nuts. compare with original wheel, it's deeeeeeeeeeeep!

RebekahsZ Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Might be a good time to go to extended wheel studs? Once the stub axle is pulled they are super easy. PM me if you need an ARP part number for 3" studs that require on modifications other than hammering out the old studs and pulling new ones in. They are available quickly thru Summitt.

tamo3 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Due to the lost date of the server crash, some of the photos are gone. I just upload photos again. for the recent progress, I got tire mount onto wheels. I went Tire Merchants San Jose that has good reputation. They fix my flat tire for $10 in 10 minutes before. I put wheels and tires on my CRV. Early in the morning, no customer. No waiting They mount and balance tire & wheels only $15 each. While fixing another flat tire of my CRV and mounting tire, there are lines of customers waiting. They did excellent jog , cheap, and fast!

tamo3 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Working on 240z tail light conversion onto 280z. First of all, check how 280z taillight bazel has gap between top, side and bottom from body. Knock off the bold from tail light. Test fitting. Drill holes matching with 240z taillight. I need to bend inside frame to extend metal. Mounted. Not bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamo3 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Working on Power Antenna modernization. Watch Youtube video how 3rd party power antenna works. Since my power Antenna did not comes with any instruction(maybe I lost?) Original power antenna is controlled up/down switch. I want to control power antenna via modern car stereo with just one wire using existing cable. Here is my schematic. While Green wire connect to red with 12V, power antenna is extended. Once green cable is disconnected with red with 12V, the power antenna is go back to housing. Power Antenna is installed. Test with battery. Works! Need to connect Blue/Red to 12V constant.

tamo3 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Working on exhaust. My original muffler has a big hole at the bottom. I need to replace it. I got fat muffler from junkyard I can use it until I got good header and re-do entire exhaust system. Chop off pipes. While cleaning OBX muffler, I discovered it comes with silencer. Wash off with Simplegreen as usual. I don't know how much I can re-use gasket. Copper sprayed. Fixed the small hole with this. I'm not sure how durable it is...
