Fixing YOUR Biggest Complaint on my 300zx Z32

Рет қаралды 60,684

After installing a shorter plate and short throw shifter on my 300zx z32 project car, I noticed some play developed. I tear it apart and determine what caused this issue. After quite some time, we finally address your biggest complaint about my z32; the s13 240sx shock tower rust. Now I didn't paint it before because I knew I needed to redo them, and today is the day! Very pleased with the results. The front wheel fitment is way better.

Orr hear me out just flip the bracket 180 so the ridge is on the bottom effectively lowering the shifter also, might need to bend the bracket slightly but Id think it would work! Just an idea

Mike i have trick to avoid issues with Village when you need to take house number off just put over it a towel or T shirt or anything just to cover it and when done just remove cover i think its better than removing whole house number and risking another letter from Village or HOA

Good luck young man.

For the dual valve stem wheels. From what i understand, its for when you fill the tires with alternate gasses such as nitrogen. Its used to purge the atmospheric content out.

@bostinpo42 16 күн бұрын

hey mike! the dual valve stems on wheels are also used for nitrogen purging, as nitrogen is more inert than regular air and also does not contain moisture, it helps keeps tire temperatures stable which is important for racing :)

Great to see the Z strut caps getting sorted out. If getting a loan for a new location is currently hard to achieve, could a bunch of car friends and yourself consider putting in together to rent a warehouse/workshop space? Providing everything from basic servicing of the public's cars, a paintshop, a hoist for ease of working, race preperation/repairs, plenty of storage space, RC drift track and customisation service, importing of rare JDM parts to support local market, maybe a skate halfpipe and varoius other car related business based on the skills your friends and yourself have.

@connorperry1405 15 күн бұрын

The two valve stems are for nitrogen. I used to have 949 racing wheels on my Miata and for the track you should be using nitrogen in your tires because it doesn’t fluctuate pressure at different heats. And just for consistency and purity you want to use one valve stem for filling and draining nitrogen and the other for filling and draining air

A house like yours here would be in the 1-1.1million range as a heads up. Does it make sense? Not a chance. Keep your head up man, you'll get there eventually

@prizzamike something i learned from some diy track guys is using chalk to gauge camber for a specific track the idea is to get it to where off all the chalk evenly in like 1--2 laps. you could try that trick when trying to find where something is rubbing like the tire on the coil. just rub some chalk on the wheel/tire mount it spin take it off. you should see where its rubbing because it should take the chalk off and potentially transfer it to what its rubbing on. ive done this with tires before worked for me

@supraevo95 16 күн бұрын

Regarding your coilovers. You gotta apply some grease, cavity wax, cable grease or whatever on the threads. Just taping the threads up doesn't do shit, as you saw. It actually just gives water and dirt a cozy new home to work their way around. I applied cavity wax on my brand new E46 coilovers when I dialed in the ride height. And everything still ist rust free and smooth as butter. Even though it's my daily driver, and our roada get salted a lot on winter.

I bet you'd avoid your neighbors complaining if the cars were painted, wrapped, or at least covered with some nice fitting covers when not in use. Obviously your priorities are to keep things working and do the occasional mod here or there but I do hope that some day you prioritize your cosmetics a little bit more. I think even just a crappy 10 footer paint job if the cars were all the same color would go a long way.
