edekalil Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 need instruction manual for next step Nice 2 door, I plan on putting my 280ZX rims on my sedan soon. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Still waiting on the gas tanks to be done. And thinking about the blue sedan. Gotta get this motor together this summer. Plan to put it in the blue sedan and lower it with a roll cage or bar. Im sure you get this all the time, but if you ever want to trim the herd i would love to take this guy off your hands. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Im sure you get this all the time, but if you ever want to trim the herd i would love to take this guy off your hands. :thumbup:Every time I pull one out the garage. If I ever trim the heard Ratsun folks will be first to get a crack at one. One good thing is All that stuff in the car, on top, and under it is all the pats for it I collected way back(poly bushings front steering parts, sway bars ( front and back). The L20B is all ready to be assembled, got a set of Mikuni carbs for that. 280zx struts for the front, old school springs for it front and back ( will probably change that to new school stuff), 240 z seats I plan to get redone. 300 z wheels with tires I had planed to use but that may change. Even bought the paint (it was kinda expensive even way back). Still never got a roll cage. But there she sits. But I am not giving up. I have to say I do love the sss trim for the front and back that kicks up the look of the car. Maybe one day. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Trying to finish this to pay for the tank work. Gave it a lightly worn look cause the rest of the guitar is still original from the 70's 3 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 How do those nut inserts go on? And where can I get some? It's basically a rivet that has threads inside. Requires a special tool to install. I got mine from McMaster-Carr. Use them to install flares, spoilers, mirrors, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 We use the aluminum ones so they don't rust... https://www.mcmaster.com/#rivets/=16q2y98 And they have a generic kit with multiple tools and sizes of rivnuts... https://www.mcmaster.com/#rivets/=16q3013 2 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Gotta check into these. Quote Link to comment
Redrumls Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I use them too, @ work & on my cars. They work great for license plate screws too. The tool we use at work & the one I have is called Diamond Grip. You have different size inserts & different thread pitches from fine to coarse or standard to metric. Greg Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 They work great for license plate screws too. Crap! Why did I not think about that?!? :rofl: I use these stupid things for everything, then spent 5 minutes fighting to get the bolts and nuts on for my 1200's license plate (real bitch if you've ever done it). I know what I'm doing this weekend... 4 Quote Link to comment
Redrumls Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Yup, I was having a hard time with my 64 Chevy 2 get the license plate on, put the diamond grip inserts in.. problem solved! I'm like you datsunfreak, I use them whenever I can.. looks clean too.. I try to use stainless bolts so it stays looking clean & they don't rust.. 3 Quote Link to comment

shacks510 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Got my new windshield installed after sitting in my bedroom for 4 months. It's so nice to be able to see where I'm going. Old one was pitted and hazy between the layers of glass. Couldn't see shit when light hit it straight on. Cost $50 and took the guy half an hour to install. I did the prep work beforehand. Old glass out New glass in Since I don't have a heater for the defroster vents to be functional, nor do I have a speaker in the stock location, I used some scrap pieces of exercise mat I had left over from another project, to block off the uglies beneath the mesh. Looks much cleaner. 3 Quote Link to comment

freekwonder Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Dash was a little cracked and thought about wrapping it, went to the fabric store to find some fabric to fix the headliner in my son's truck and my wife found this fabric for my dash. Figured I would clean up the metal pieces also. 3 Quote Link to comment
