HaZmatt Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share #98 Posted June 11, 2014 Finally got around to looking through some random stuff that the previous owner gave me. I found some pretty cool stuff. The original window sticker The "Guarantee Booklet" and card This is who the previous owner bought the car from. And some random brochures Plus all of the service records. Anyways I thought it was cool that he kept all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaZmatt Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share #99 Posted June 18, 2014 I got most of the rear suspension in over the weekend. I also had my wheels powder coated and my tires mounted. Dunlop Direzza 205/50 R16 Some random pics from my good camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280z Posted June 18, 2014 Share #100 Posted June 18, 2014 You can soak the differential air breather in a clear glass of peroxide on a sunny day to whiten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroDat Posted June 18, 2014 Share #103 Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) You can soak the differential air breather in a clear glass of peroxide on a sunny day to whiten it. I was cleaning mine and it broke:(. Then I found out you can order them from Nissan for less than €1.50. Also helps if you fit the breather before you mount the diff under the car. They can be a tight fit and not much roomto move.

HaZmatt Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share #104 Posted June 22, 2014 I reached a milestone today. The car is officially a rolling chassis! Rear drum brakes installed with all new parts. Back on the ground! Not sure why its sitting so high in the rear. Hopefully it will settle down once the motor is in. Also installed the wiper assembly today.

bartsscooterservice Posted June 23, 2014 Share #105 Posted June 23, 2014 It's normal, the suspension settles to normal position once you start riding the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted June 23, 2014 Share #106 Posted June 23, 2014 Matt, Have you rolled the car forward or backwards yet? If not, the tires will grab the floor and keep it from settling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaZmatt Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share #107 Posted June 23, 2014 Yea I rolled it about a car length back and forth. Also the control arm bushings and spindle nuts are still loose. The only thing I can think of is that I tightened the sway bar while it was still up on jacks. Not sure if that would matter? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossiz Posted June 23, 2014 Share #108 Posted June 23, 2014 i believe the sway bar should rotate freely in its bushings, so it wouldn't present any resistance to the car settling.are you sure the springs are set correctly in the perches? also, are you sure you have the correct springs (front in front, rear in rear)?
