  1. I have automatic mirrors and on my right mirror, the glass mirror piece is wobbling. Is there any way I can take it apart and fix it?
  2. spend the extra $$$ and get a decent alternator otherwise you will be replacing them all your lifetime lol btw anyone know anything on those Mean Green alternators???
  3. clogged injectors for sure put one of those injector cleaning solutions into the gas tank
  4. just wait a little, someone will be here shortly with all the info ps thats a really nice looking engine you got in there
  5. if i can recall properly, nissan used Garrett brand turbochargers and 11 psi seems about right but i would like a second opinion here
  6. lifts or any other modification to the suspension is what usually causes these things to break also if you floor it around corners or if your links are bad, that will put alot of stress on these CVs
  7. there is an access hole in the back, just peel the carpet

    Handbrake

    So basically I have to turn those star shaped nuts in the drums correct? Also should I loosen up the Y cable while I'm at it for future adjustments?

    Handbrake

    Shoes are good, I checked them when I replaced the rotors. I don't know if those shoes could be adjusted but they don't look bad. If the cable is stretched, do I need to replace it?

    Handbrake

    My handbrake only works on its last 3 clicks or so and I would like to adjust it so it engages sooner. I have the mini-drum kind. From what I have seen, there is a nut that I can turn to pull it closer but I think mine is already at the end and cannot be adjusted further. I can tap some more thread on there but don't want to risk snapping any cables. Any other ideas?
  11. alright both sides are done the bolt i got is incorrect, its too long and locks the rotor in place napa has the right one, part number is 82828 for those interested
  12. i also heard its a good idea to run a compression test while you're there just to make sure its not the rings
  13. On the inside you mean on bottom of the rotor? From what I have seen the wear indicators are usually on the top of the rotor where you can see them but this can be a special case and I would just like to make sure. No need for a C-Clamp? Nice...
  14. ahh thanks that one left me clueless, never seen it done this way before also the damn piston nearly came out of the caliper, is it safe to force it back in or do i need to open the bleeder?
  15. need help again rotors and pads finally here now i have no clue how to put the pads in there is a metal tab on two of them in a set does the pad with the metal tab go on the inside or on the outside?? my old pads fell apart so i have no idea what that tab is for
  16. That's crazy! Try getting parts for that engine now... lol
  17. Here is a link for those of you who want to know the exact power band of the VG30E and how it compares to its 4 valve brother... http://www.datsuns.com/Tech/ohv_vs_ohc.htm
  18. Perhaps metal bull bars are restricted over there in Australia for pedestrian safety so they have to resort to plastic ones.
  19. if your tailgate makes banging noises, make sure your striker does not wiggle, if it does get another one if the striker is good then adjust it more inward so it pulls the tailgate closer and the rattling will be long gone
