New Zealand Datsun Club

way better looking, will have to do that with mine

workmates were giving me shit at workdo tonite about how im always doing datsun stuff during worktime at holden, you can see i get better results on my own vehicles

they just dont understand brendan. its not there fault they got shiot taste in cars

minor update:
-have sourced some extractors, just have to collect them.
-bought new balljoints today, $16 each!! to be fitted this coming sat morning.

keep it up brother gonna be the mean tow wagon!

bit of an update:

-skimmed front discs, deglazed pads and lubed calipers = no more brake shudder
-replaced control arm balljoints, i noticed the steering arms dont have the ideal taper angle, so the balljoint will prematurely wear out, it became a huge dilemma when i wanted to fix it and pulled the whole front end apart, but id have to find a set of better steering arms to cure it, so it stays as it is.
-removed diffhead to check ratio and condition(was replaced before i bought it as had a locker in it), fitted and sealed diffhead, checked and adjusted rear brakes. still have only half brake pedal travel, may be a master cylinder or booster fault.

went to hamilton yesterday to pick up my car trailer:

wicked....all ready to stick your car on and bring down!!!

thats a real nice trailer there brendan, good score

its been a month, but ive been getting some jobs on the list done for the wagon:
- replaced rear shoes and drums
- oil and filter
- new fuel hoses
- get boot light to work
- get boot release cable to work
- replace carb float needle and seat
- fit carpet from 910 sss sedan

extractors from a 1600 didnt fit under the firewall, so am currently repairing exhaust manifold flange leak, and replacing exhaust pipe and rear muffler. no extractors and 2inch mandrel bent exhaust
