13:07, 4 August 2024 Session talk contribs created page Clutch Options (Created page with "category:Gearbox_and_Drivetrain When changing the clutch it is best to also have the flywheel machined. Some people sand the flywheel by hand in an attempt to remove glazing, and to some extent this works, but it does not address the problem of the flywheel surface no longer being flat. Watching a flywheel being machined is an educational experience, you wouldn't believe how deformed this big solid casting manages to get over 15 years or so - there's a lot of meta...")
13:06, 4 August 2024 Session talk contribs created page Clutch Alignment Tool (Created page with "=Making a clutch alignment tool= I wanted to add this as it's an integral part of the manual conversion and it's invaluable for anyone doing a clutch change as well. I've heard that you can buy either a plastic or metal one but where's the fun in that? Why not make one for free! The Gregory's give you lengths but doesn't give you diameters of the ID's (Internal Diameters) of the clutch driven plate and the spigot bearing. It can be made from either metal or wood, I p...")

13:05, 4 August 2024 Session talk contribs created page Auto Neutral Switch (Created page with "I have been having an intermittent problem where I turn the key to start the car and get nothing but that 'tick tick' from under the bonnet. After driving me nuts for a year, I think I may have found the solution. I found that the +12V going to the starter solenoid (black and yellow) is usually at least 1 volt under battery voltage, and the resistance with the ignition switch set to 'start' between +12V and the terminal on the starter solenoid is several mega Ohms. I th...")

13:03, 4 August 2024 Session talk contribs created page Sway bars and Strut braces (Created page with "category:Steering & Suspension ==Sway Bars and Strut Braces== These work to keep the wheels the correct distance apart and increase chassis rigidity. When you corner, your car literally bends like a banana and these will help to combat that. You will notice a quicker turn in, less body roll and more responsive handling. Sway bars attach to the lower part of the suspension and the chassis, and Strut Braces put a bar between the top of each strut tower. Your R31...")

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...")

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...")
13:01, 4 August 2024 Session talk contribs created page S13 camber tops (Created page with "category:Steering & Suspension I'm not going to try to re-write the Gregory's manual so I'm assuming you can all read how to remove the strut from an Aussie R31. 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...")

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.

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...")
13:00, 4 August 2024 Session talk contribs created page Panhard Rod (Created page with "category:Steering & Suspension How to change panhard: Jack rear of car off ground, I suggest at the chassis rails, with the front wheels well chocked. 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...")

I'm assuming you have the technical skills to remove the lower control arms so I won't cover that simple step.
