Re: Adjustable TC Rods with Bushings

I was able to straighten the bolt without having to heat it which was great. My concern is that that didnt cure the castor issue, it helped significantly but I was in a rush to get back together because its my daily and did have time to measure the T/C rod to see if it was the same length as the oth...

Re: Adjustable TC Rods with Bushings

Re: Adjustable TC Rods with Bushings

I should specify, the tire rubs well before it reaches the steering stop, turning left.
Thanks

Adjustable TC Rods with Bushings

Hi I have a 510 that I have recently put 280zx coilovers in the front. This revealed to me that the driver side front wheels has far less caster than the passenger side, to the point where the tire rubs on the drivers side but not the passengers. Ive looked and cant seem to find where the issue is. ...

Aftermarket Factory Nissan wheels 13x5 +25 For Sale $400 OBO

I have a set of Factory Nissan/Datsun aftermarket wheels for sale. They're 13x5 +25, they came with my car and saw very little use since I've had them. Some of them have some curb rash but this was there before I got them. I was able to remove some of the scratches using a fine file. I've only seen ...

Re: Steel or Fiberglass(Flared or Not)

OK so I worked on it some this weekend and was able to get some of the dents out mainly in the upper part of the quarter. My main problem is pushing the panel out to reshape it. If I were able to get most of the dents out and the shape close could I bond the OL panel to the quarter without cutting o...

Re: Steel or Fiberglass(Flared or Not)

Yeah I saw a build on here where a guy used rabbit flares.It turned out pretty sweet. Dave, If i were to use the Orange line quarter instead of the fiberglass what would be the biggest drawback aside from weight?

Re: Steel or Fiberglass(Flared or Not)

As for my choice for 205, I really liked the way they looked. They are mildly stretched which compliments the wheels in this case IMO. And they give me plenty of footprint for what I'll be doing(spirited/aggressive driving occasional track day) Heres the comparison new to old when I did the 280zx st...

Re: Steel or Fiberglass(Flared or Not)

Yes if i used the fiberglass it would be in an overlay application. I guess my main concern is getting everything to look right. Not show quality but very neat. There are a lot of ripples and wrinkles in the metal and I'm unsure on how this would affect the fiberglass due to voids in the sheetmetal....

Steel or Fiberglass(Flared or Not)

Hi I have a '72 510 2 door and have been cruising this forum for a couple years now. I've only been able to do little jobs that couldn't last more than a weekend because it was my daily driver. The car has been off the road for about a month now and I've dug into some rust issues in the rockers and ...
