Thank you! :D

Having some fun... "My car can dream..."

More baby pics! :)

I haven't upgraded my brakes yet. Still with a A12 since it's going ok for now...

God I wish I knew this before, I just replaced my whole front end but I haven't upgraded my brakes yet. Do you know if the 280zx knuckles allow more room for wider rims? I bought a set of 13x8 and there's no room to turn unless I install spacers.

The more I look these days, I really got a good deal... T3 sells a Datsun 1200 set up like their 510 conversion, it's just not listed on the website. I called and chatted with them a little for some parts. Here is a link to the 510 set up, the difference would be 1200 struts vs the 280zx. https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/510/front-coilover-conversion-datsun-510-280zx-strut-casings

As in from the start until today? $2000 as is when purchased from Reno. Hardly running +$8000ish in front suspension parts, bushings, tires, transmission rebuild, new clutch, wire work and countless misc small parts. I had taken my car in to Fitted Garage for the wire harness clean up, the entire engine harness looked liked it was twisted together in a million spots...

I had some fun over the weekend fixing the passenger door lock and painting the Cowl Vent black. She's happy now.

So my car was down for about 6 months while the whole wiring harness was being worked on. Then I got the whole transmission rebuilt and the ujoint replaced. She's going good now, driving to work everyday again! I finally put on the front bumper that I purchased. I also removed the damaged Bumper Guard off the back. Not sure if I like it yet so bare, unprotected...

I had do research myself on sizes available and then request them from Americas Discount Tires. I have a brother in-law that manages one so maybe there was a little more patience on just a random guy asking a lot of option requests over the phone... He then researched who had it in stock and shipped it to a local store, which I believe is normal by request. 175/50/13 Nankang As-1 Before I did the front and rear swaps, I had just the fronts replaced so they didn't rub with kumihimo tires 155/70r13 I only have 5.5 wide rims to there isn't any stretch on either.

In reading the instructions for sharing their files, they only want links going to the home page... So I added some details on where you can find the cut-outs. Here is what the button looks like.

You can now own your very own Nissan 1200GX, in multiple colors! It's a free for personal use only. Found these on METMANIA-FAN while searching the web.... 1.

I thought it was very awesome someone took so much time to make these and to give it away for free... I will be building my own set. *You will see the models when you click on the Nostalgic Car button on their site. Since METMANIA-FAN site is requesting not to link directly to single pages, I can only show you how the button looks like.

This is 2" inches under factory settings.... This is 2.5" inches from the bottom of the coilovers.... I haven't played with the shock settings yet, but train tracks are not a problem now!

On the other hand, everything else is going well on the entire front end suspension bushing replacement. I was able to get most of the parts through RockAuto.com

So I tried this.. I did not work for me. I bought the 200sx 1979 strut bearings and they're too big. I might as well buy the T3 mounts and the upper hat system and stop wasting time... I need to drive!!
