Damn bro sorry to hear that... anyway nice to know that you already order the new tires

DatsunFTW · 10-14-2015, 08:20 PM

Got my fronts put on today. So even a 10mm difference in tire hasn't helped with the rubbing issue. Possibly made it worse since I have a 35 sidewall rather than a prior 30.

So I rolled (beat with a mallet) my fenders today and definitely fixed it.

There should be a road course day coming up soon so I am aching to get on the track!

This weekend is going to be plentiful! The lsd I will have to hold of for a little while but I will be doing my power steering this weekend as well as the control arms.

DatsunFTW · 12-08-2015, 10:48 PM

Okay so busy day getting the Z1 power steering cooler and Race front control arms on! Tomorrow I go in for an alignment.

Don't look at that crappy line routing

I am quite sick with flu and I didn't really care afterwards.

Here you go Carlos

plenty of pics

So now only piece of the puzzle missing are some Whiteline Swaybars and the VLSD, which I have but pending install to some other time. I might cancel out on my January track plans but the local track always has stuff going on so it's no big miss.

So that's pretty much everything now and I am set for any track day. Everything will just be normal fade and wear. Hopefully my base brakes hold on for me for longer. I don't have money for a BBK! :O

carlitos_370z · 12-09-2015, 05:34 AM

Thanks a lot bro for the pics

BTW one question... when you remove the line of the stock power steering cooler, all the fluid come off or you have to make flush to change them all?

DatsunFTW · 12-09-2015, 06:02 AM

Let it all flow out from the lines

Thanks bro! I will do it

DatsunFTW · 12-09-2015, 09:26 AM

Of course. Just make sure to fill the cooler before installing and when you top off turn the wheels (while the car Is up) until you feel pressure and go for a drive. You'll hear whining. Just top off the reservoir more

Awesome!

thanks a lot for the free lessons bro hahhaa!

BTW how do you fill the cooler before the installing? maybe is a stupid question but i want to make 100% sure of what i am going to do hahhaa!

DatsunFTW · 12-09-2015, 11:23 AM

The cooler comes with caps on the core. Just take them off and pour directly into the cooler. It distributes to the other side so just fill and let settle.

Great bro! thanks for the info

I leave you some reps

DatsunFTW · 01-19-2016, 02:26 PM

So thanks to JWillis I have made the road course pretty much a part of my life. No more autox just time attack and open track days twice a month since october of 2015.

So with that being said I ordered Battle Aero's Chassis Mount Swan Neck Wing. 1700mm frp deck with aluminum stands. Fully adjustable and pivots back for trunk use.

It won't be here in time for this weekend track fun but It should be shipping over next week

Sold my duckbill so don't ask for it!

I also cut off my exhaust from the resonator section back. The shop who did my exhaust did a pretty wonky bend job and it's costing my throttle response... I also shaped the tips to look kind of cool underneath there lol. Don't worry it's just temporary.
