Rubber washer fits on lower arm.

Mmmm is it wrong to be aroused this ?

Rubber bushed suspension arms have to be torqued up with the car at normal ride height otherwise it will knacker the bushes. Since I don’t happen to have lift on the drive the easiest way is to jack the suspension to the required ride height. This is easy to do without the strut fitted.

I have just mailed the previous owner of this car......

It's now going back together, Av a look

He has done quite a bit of touring in his S2000, like he did with my 200SX. He told me he fancied a different drive. I thought it would be cool if this car does one more European tour before it's retirement
Hope you are up for this Dave

[Fake Ben Taylor]

retirement? wtf?

[Petrol]

retirement? wtf?

I guess having only done 24 miles in the last 15 months it's already retired

You got the washer then mate

Sorry it took so long, bit of a nightmare with moving & no internet access etc. (In the office today).

Build up is looking incredible mate

[Petrol]

Cheers Jay Please PM me your new addy

Build up is slow though. I am using towels to prevent chipping the paint



Think I need some new disks

[j4mes]

you can def not put those discs on. i wouldnt let you.

[scimmy ben]

Have you considered dropping this off at a Motor Museum when you are finished? Places like Haynes don't own all of the cars, they just look after them for the owners.

[Mr OCD]

Pete: Disks are dirt cheap for the 200sx... check out Brakeparts International ...

Did you leave them under a bush or something?

I doubt anyone would be interested in a 10 year old Datsun but it's a good idea

How about fixing up my 26 year old Datsun as your next project?

[Paul200sx]

Pete i am sure you would of bought new ones anyway!

The plan is to protect it enough so it’s still in mint condition when it’s 26 years old I wonder how many SX’s will be around in 2023?

True, I guess in that perspective my old Datsun is doing fine. I know of only 2 others, alot of the other 2 doors were scrapped. Still 2,500 were made. There must be plenty more.

I think you would be surprised, I bet loads have gone to the scrap heap in the sky

[30psi]

Yeah maybe. Well now you've shown whats possible, hopefully I can use those methods to keep mine roadworthy for longer. Its not garaged though so thats hardly a good start
