    What did you do to your Z this week?

    Installed these 280zx transmission to engine stiffening things. Just because they came out so pretty after bead blasting. Is there any official Nissan document about why this part was introduced?

    Half shaft bolts

    I took a cheap 14mm ring spanner which I ground to a smaller OD. Quite useful in many places!

    What did you do to your Z this week?

    Put the gearbox back in (was leaking before). Went in surprisingly smooth.. 20 minutes and I was done.

    From Smoker to Sssssmokin’!

    Guys, keep in mind that high strengh bolts (eg suspension) may lose quite some strength due to zinc coating (hydrogen embrittlement). At least if the plating guy does not perform a special aftertreatment.

    What did you do to your Z this week?

    Finally done, bc coilovers installed - just before the winter break. I took the car for a quick spin, I can't believe how much handling has improved (also ride quality)

    Preload rear wheel bearings

    I feel a bit stupid now. Instead of debating I should have tried what the FSM recommends: adjust the axle nut torque 😂 I backed off the nut by maybe 10 degree. Results in 800g preload, so right on point. I still don't understand why the axle torque has any effect, though.

    Preload rear wheel bearings

    It is clear that there is a spacer and how it works. But why does the FSM recommend to adjust the axle nut torque so that a preload of around 800g at the wheel stud can be measured? I can't see how increasing the torque past a certain threshold would make any difference in preload. :conf2:

    Preload rear wheel bearings

    What I don't understand is how the axle nut torque can affect preload. To my understanding the distance between the two inner bearing rings is set by the spacer (which is solid and not a crush type spacer).

    Preload rear wheel bearings

    That's what I experienced as well with a previous built. But this time the seal is no issue for sure (seated correctly).

    Preload rear wheel bearings

    Hey guys, I replaced my rear wheel bearings and torqued the axle nut to 290Nm. Is it common that the axle feels rather stiff? I measured around 1000g with a fish scale to start axle rotation (FSM spec: 750g).

    123 ignition for Datsun L6 on my L28

    That can't be true. I always disconnect my battery if the car is sitting in the garage. Never had any issues.

    Alternative axle nut

    While rebuilding my suspension, I was looking for an alternative axle nut (rear). Original one is peened type (PIA) 280ZX one is pinched type (upon removal, it destroyed the threads of the stub axle) Following part number is a perfect fit and far better than the 280zx option: 7703034250...

    What did you do to your Z this week?

    I fixed my rear end clunk issue by accident. I was about to remove the differential for a backlash rebuild when I noticed that one of the mustache bar nuts is completely loose 🤣

    Datsun competition coilover info

    The Datsun competition cataloge only lists a "rally adjustable suspension" which raises the ride height. Was there also a more track focused (lowering) coilover solution available?
