Yes.....I reached out to Jay at Ground Control. He’s checking to see if they have a couple extra Tokicos. Just need to have plan B if they don’t. I’m sure that there are many folks here that know the answer. I’ve heard rear MR2 shocks in the front and front 240Z struts in the rear, but would like to confirm that before ordering.

Hi Charles...As far as I tell, they no longer have the Tokicos available, so I’ll have to use Konis. They are different size shocks. I believe they use the 240Z front shock in the rear and an MR2 rear shock in the front, but before I spend $650.00, just want to make sure that is correct.

I’m looking to install new shocks in my Ground Control Coilovers. They were built to spec as per the included instructions. I’m not sure what size to order for the front and rears. Anyone help me with what shocks to order? Thanks

You are right wheee! No parking brake. I park on level ground in 1st gear, and if I ever lose my brakes while tearing down the highway, I’m just gonna yell “Wheee! “

Steve.....Hahaha.....I meant it would add $2,500.00 to the restoration cost......still a good deal in my opinion.....looks to be fairly rust free and early cars with the 240Z and vented hatch door bring premiums.

Wheel bearing is solid. The more I do, the more I think I’m trying to fix something that ain’t broke. When both wheels are off the ground and it’s free wheeling, maybe an inch of play is normal. I replaced the diff, the half shafts and then again, the stub axle. There is no play when driving, so I think I’m gonna bet that a little play is normal when both wheels are off the ground. BTW....I absolutely love the FutoFab CV axles, and talk about easy to remove them when I wanted to pull the stub axle......a breeze!

Still got some movement with the metallic sound you hear in the new video. It’s a new diff and CV axles. I did use the stub axles (that go into the diff) from the old diff. I’m stumped. Anyone think it could be play in the stub axle since that’s the only thing used from the previous set up? 9147EB1C-1EED-4AD1-AFF6-615F33446E3C.MOV

Add $2,500.00

That one won’t last long......looks like an easy Resto.....nice dash too if it’s not a cap.

Fenders and hood are Nissan parts bought in 2012. All were black.

........and you took “Paul’s Car” across the finish line to Z history. Great work Mike. Regards Guy

Here you are Zed.....I have no idea what I’m looking for. Motors are what I do.....transmissions and diffs are Greek to me!

Just put another 50 miles on mine.....zero complaints. What does yours do Jim?

Just finished putting another diff in......slop is gone.

All drive line is stock .....336 diff and stock 4 speed tranny. The reason I noticed it was I had a low speed rattle (like a tail gate rattle) that I traced to the driver side strut. When jacked up, the wheel has 1 to 1.5 inches of slop and makes a knocking noise. It’s not the half shafts. I don’t know squat about diff problems, but the excess play seems to be diff related.

I would assume it’s differential....but then again I’ve never had diff problems, so wouldn’t know exactly what to look for.

I’ve got 2 inches of play in my driver side rear wheel. Not sure where it’s coming from. Anyone help me out? Only on driver side. EC61E4DB-6BCC-4297-8320-D94B670CD63B.MOV

Very cool .......what’s the feedback on those? Do they come pre greased? Do you know anyone that has used em?

Christmas in June! Congrats....what a great surprise.

336 diff.....ordered the twisting pliers to wire lock the bolts.

All finished. Took it for a test drive and it works perfect. No noise, no slack.....solid. Even when I let off and nail it, no play......I’m happy with Futofab CV shafts!

Yes Charles, there was excessive play in the driver side half shaft outside u joint.

Out with the old.....in with the new.

Thanks Mike. I guess a can of black paint will make color choice an option.
