Exhaust sounds ok at idle. What's it like on the road? I like the looks of that 240Z, don't see many of them these days. Exhaust sounds great at wide open throttle. My wife and I went out for a few blasts last night, had a great time. Thanks on the Datsun, its a 280ZX...somewhat rare these days, I ...
Alignment time at the only shop I trust in Houston.
As there is a fair bit of adjustability between the coilovers, camber plates, rear eccentrics on the RTABs etc, it took about 2 hours to get it dialed in.
Driving home was fun!

Brand new, never used. Does not require that you glue it to the frame surround, the elastic at the base will keep it secure. Installation is a breeze..literally 2-minutes.

Fron today. Here's a fun picture of my other Shark (1988 Porsche 928 S4 Manual). A car I found about an hour north of where I live, it was left under a bunch of trees for several years, so not a barn find but a "left outside and forgotten about find". And if you're interested, the white Da...
One thing that has been a bit challenging is trying to figure out which way to go with the exhaust the car. I built a few different versions before settling on the final one. this took a few weeks of work and I finished it this morning. Here is what I removed from the car. Exhaust Before 1.JPG Exhau...

Then bled the brakes! Finally! I'm not sure how many of you guys use this suction method connected to shop air, but it works great, compared to the Motiv Power Bleeder. With the Motiv, you have to be careful on pressuring up the system as to not blow out the clutch gravity feed line which does not h...
One fun thing I did yesterday was fire up the lathe to cut down some bolts that secure the rotor to the hub. You know the ones that have the allen key head that you always get anxious to remove..hoping they don't become a complete circle once you stick your drive in there and start turning. I always...
Nothing wrong with putting all the bolts in one direction. I've studied this ad nauseum over the years. If you decide to alternate it like the arrow heads shown on the guibo, you have to completely remove the driveshaft to replace the guibo, as there is not sufficient room on the trans side to slide...
Here's another view of the rear end all installed: After 8.JPG One neat thing I did was to modify some generic 19mm Suspension Techniques poly bushings (purchased off Amazon) with my table top belt sander. The original rubber bushings that were on the car were in poor condition and so here was an op...
