  1. How much did you have to spend to get the glass replaced!?!?!?! Here in Cali you can get it done for $150 new glass installed. I'll never complain out loud about prices here again!
  2. No I mean take the whole rear axle housing and all. Disconnect the control arms and move the whole thing over out of a pathfinder that has the options you want.
  3. Check that the joints and tie rod ends are tight and don't have any slop in them. If they have any slop in them the shop probably wont be able to align it. Greasing on a regular basis is a must if they have zerk fittings. If they don't have the fittings then putting grease under the boot wont help any cause the grease wont get to the bearing surface. Good luck in that cold weather. :my2cents:
  4. any reason making a paper rubbing at a junkyard wouldn't be right? bring a roll of butcher paper tape to side of truck rub with crayon?
  5. isn't the axle basically the same between the car50s and the wd21's. couldn't you just swap a whole axle out of a wd21 into your r50?
  6. I found a set in a yard. I had to use the shorter studs that came with it until I got tired of them always backing out and binding on the hub when I needed to remove it. Then I just went to hardware store and replaced with allen bolts. Much easier.
  7. De-greaser in a spray bottle and a brush. My fave is purple power. Put it in a squirt bottle spray and area scrub it repeat. Don't get it on your paint it will oxidize it. Your valve cover may be leaking on the back of the head and spilling down all over everything else. Also when you do your cv axles just rebuild your front suspension while your there. You have to take almost everything off anyway might as well do new bushings bearings ball joints and tie rods. This would pretty much fix that front end shimmy that I think you were talking about in another post. Good luck.
  8. what RPM are you trying to keep the engine at when you cruze?
  9. Hit me up when you do that. I'd love to get a closer look at how that whole thing goes together.
  10. I've looked and it is a little tight but there is some room with stock wheels. I was thinking even something in an tetris shape may work. ______ | |_ | | | | | Could something be welded to the knuckle ? Like say a piece of another knuckle to move the attachment point a little further in (effectively .5 inches) so now you have space to clear the wheel?
  11. The main reason I was looking for something to correct the tie rod angle is to get rid of bump steer. If one could space up the tie rod to level it out wouldn't that help with bump steer? If it happens to extend the life of the center link thats a bonus. The other thing I was looking for was a TRE with a really long stud. |____ Stock truck | ___ Lifted truck with tierod at an angle |/ | |------ Lifted truck with somthing to raise where the tierod attaches to the spindle |
  12. Heres a pic to the basic concept. http://www.superstreetonline.com/techarticles/sstp_1008_nissan_240sx_project/photo_05.html Its for lowering Nissan 240 but the concept is the same just reversed. I think that is called a heim joint and then its just a milled piece that seats into the taper with an adjuster on it. Looks relatively simple the ones pictured I think are designed with drifting in mind. Gotta be strong to put up with that.
  13. For purposes of correcting tie rod angle on a lifted truck for light duty off roading. NOT wheeling just getting off the beaten path a little bit. Any thoughts?
  14. couldn't you just add some food dye to your brake fluid and get the same effect?
  15. Also you might need to extend the throw on your brake master cylinder. The master cylinder attaches to your brake pedal on the back up by the firewall. Loosen the nut and then turn the bar so it backs out a little bit. Just like you would adjust your clutch master cylinder. HTH
  16. Could some of your rubber lines be old and bulging ? Did you change the rubber line between the rear axle and the hardline? You might try bypassing the abs module just to simplify the troubleshooting process. Also when you bled the brakes did you just bleed them or did you replace ALL the fluid in system? HTH
  17. I would love to see some kits for swapping engines and an aftermarket (megasquirt) drop in kit would be awesome.
  18. Your neutral safety switch on your tranny next to your stick shift may also be going out. Had a similar issue last month.
  19. The bare wire is the shielding jacket that wraps around the other three. Pull the pvc jacket back another couple inches to confirm.
  20. honestly I'd look for a u pull it yard near by with a better price 100 bucks for 20 year old wiring seem steep to me.
  21. Don't sell your friend just cause someone said the project might be difficult. Sell it cause your done and you want to move on to something else.
  22. Some engine swap kits might be nice. Swap to a VQ or Nissan Diesel in a kit.
  23. My vote is for the swap. I Love mine. You'll still need the wiring harness either way. Keep your existing injectors then you don't have to splice anything.
