Hi guys,

I have a car in storage which can only be there for a max of one month

On Saturday i need some help with parting a few things out of the car

I need some help to remove the 5 stud pattern on the car and put them on mine and then replace the other car with my old 4 stud pattern

change over my brakes to turbo ones

I also need help with taking the doors off and removing the glass (front and 2 rear quarter)

Also i want to remove the aircon system and other little parts to sell due to needing to pay off the seller ASAP

i would appreciate it so much seeing that i don't know how to remove these things

the place is out at gepps cross

cheers again

Gepps Cross is just up the road from me. I can help out if you wish ... but can only do so on weekends at this stage.

If the site has power, I have a compressor and rattle gun that can make short work of everything.

I could make myself free Saturday morning. I'll need to do work around my house extension in the arvo.

We can get alot done in the morning. Two people is better than one, and I can get you onto certain jobs to save time. :) I'll PM you my mobile number and we'll work it out from there.

If its got power, would it then have a bar fridge with beer? :w00t:

Anybody else want to lend a hand? :D

I might be able to free up a few hours .... will let you know closer to the day. I assume you want to change over all the rotors/brakes/lines at the place, so you would need AT LEAST 4 decent size jacks. I also have a compressor and lots of air tools.

Ahh what do you guys recommend?

I've got the whole braking system to play around with i think besides the rotors! im pretty sure hes parted the rotors..

WIll i need to change the whole thing over? Should i just do the brakes? forget about the lines and rotors etc?

He also said that i will need new brake pads which ones do you guys recommened and where abouts would i find them? i'm just after cheap reliable stuff at the moment

cheers

'Cheap' and 'reliable' don't really go together. If its mostly easy street driving, then any common-brand pad will do. SAU-SA members get 10% off at Autobahn if you want to go with Bendix or another brand. That 10% off would probably pay for your membership with the savings.

I'm going for QFM pads once I've upgraded my brakes (hopefully this weekend coming). Can be had for cheap on ebay.

:P

ahah thought so

i will probably just sus out and get some front and rear turbo pads

also with the rotors because they don't come with any on the wrecked car does that mean i have to buy new rotors to fit on the 5 stud conversion?

If you are doing a 4 stud to 5 stud conversion you will definitely need all of the rotors, as well as brake calipers, and you will need the whole wheel hubs off - it is quite a massive job.

No probs :)

Most bits are off, just the rear hubs next.

Thanks for picking up my extension cord too. Got into a bit of a panic about that ... kicking myself for being in a rush to leave :D

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
