I attempted it while it was in and could only get a spanner onto one of the nuts which was in the end too tight to be undoing in that position anyway. After reading around I found that removing the column out of the car was going to be the easier alternative. Its a pretty simple job to do but..." current

The guy told him that the tie rod ball joints were at absolute maximum tilt because the car is so low (perfect stance imo!) and its really dangerous... Picture this: with the steering rack sitting level, the tie rods are pointing upwards towards the steering arms. then in order for the ball joint to go into the ste..." current

The first thing to do once the strut is removed is to loosen the top shocker retaining nut It is best to do this before you compress the spring otherwise the shock will spin around with the nut (make sure you don't loosen it to the point where it comes off, or youll be in some pain I'd assume) Once..." current

R31 = semi-trailing arm independent rear R32/S13 = multilink independent rear The R31 shares the same setup as a number of oldschool cars... 910 bluebirds, datsuns 280Z, and Z31 300ZX, even VP commodores have this style of IRS system, though the VP's arms are fitted straight so the wheels don't camber when slammed out. This system consists of a crossmember at the back..." current

Nissan can fly you one in from Japan, approximately 2 week wait and cost a grand total of $780. To remove the line, you must take out the hard line that it is attached to. Everything from the banjo bolt at the pump back to the rack itself must come it. It's a prick of a job, you have to do all sorts of delicate and crazy manoeuvres to get it past the sump and over the engine mount. You can't bend the..." current

The rear tyres will both be off the ground, giving no handbrake/park brake/engine brake, so make sure it cannot move, since you'll be under it. There are 2 bolts for the panhard, one connecting to passenger side suspension on differential, the other connects to the body to a welded subframe in front of fuel tank. T..." current
