Good for you guys. Keep up the good work.

 

thnx micro

 

No, paint the grill black again?

 

yep, the first time it got painted just ended up chipping and looking like crap. So time for another coat

 

 

besides, jassifrass has another stock grill ;)

 

I like the 2 big resevore trick :cool:

The new 15/16th's master is in

still having issues bleeding it but im not done yet

 

That's an awfully large master for the stock brakes. In my sedan I couldn't find a 3/4" master in my pile but there was a 13/16 from an S110 I could use. Just going up 1/16" in size really firmed up the peddle. You're going up 3/16" so expect a very firm peddle with increased effort to come to a stop.

Yes that did cross my mind. lolz :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

 

I don't have the zx brakes but I do have the Maxima station wagon struts and calipers/vented rotors from the zx platform and I know I might be a bit biased, but I think they are superb! I love the braking. Just enough effort for good feedback, not stiff, but also not so effortless you lock them up easily.

It's much better than trying to find nonexistent seals :)

 

true enough

 

 

woot, no problems guys, the first trim i removed was scary. And your missed matched clips would have made it harder for shure lol.

 

ya, it would been nerve racking without your help. Thanx again

 

My sedan...

thanx mike...... :hmm: ..

 

 

 

 

how bad did it look before you took out the glass?

Link to comment

You could see a small bubbling above the chrome trim but nothing really. It leaked terrible and Grahem, who I got it from, had to store outside and have the drain plug in the pass floor open. I stored for the winter of '08/'09 with a garbage bag draped over that area. We mentioned the leak to the body guy and he yanked it out to find....

 

 

Good that you have a goon as the lower part under the rear window rots away too.

It all had to be welded up, painted and glass put back in.

Yup, had them stick too. All mine have been sitting in a shed for 10 years or so. The brake fluid absorbs water and or crystallizes inside. The metal parts rust too. I just banged on a block of wood and the piston popped out, but, it was for the best to replace with the next one.

 

jassifrass got the final coat of purple and a coat of clear coat on the valve cover and got the grill fully prepped for paint!

 

Likes purple I see. Has this got something to do with the color scheme of the car?
