Yeah I thought of that but won't it be like a 100 or 150 bucks. And if its that much why not just buy a new one for 220. frankie

Hey whats up guys, what a hot summer it has been. So hot in fact that my radiator of probably 20 years decided to take a big dump on me. I called up motorsports and its 200 bucks for a new one, but they have a 2 week wait till they get some more in stock. I need this thing now cuse the z is my daily driver. There are alot of other z parts dealers out there, anybody have any suggestions on a reputable place with good parts to try so I can get back out on the road asap. (and not VB, never again will I buy from them, their parts are crap) Let me know. Frankie

Great back to the garage she goes. I put them on tight and back them a turn. Don't ask me why:stupid: . Thanks for the help. Frankenstein Z Do it right the first time, or do it twice.

Hey could somebody tell me the torque settings on the tie rod castle nuts and the ball joints castle nuts. For a 72 240z. Frankenstein Z

You were right about the extension, guess I should have went through all the boxes.:stupid: Thanks again Frankenstein Z

I have about an inch or two, so that does seem like to much. I'll pull everything out and see what i got. Thanks for the help again. Frankenstein Z

Hello again still in the process of putting on my struts. I have taken out my old struts and put in the new ones however these new tokico's have some play up and down in the cartridge. I was wondering if this was normal. The old struts seem to have a longer base then the new ones. Is this okay? Frankenstein Z PS Putting oil in the cartridge, nothing in any of the books I have about it but most everybody on here says its needed, whats the verdict.

AHAHHAAH I GOT IT WITH THE PIPE WRENCH. I TRIED THE FIRST TIME BUT DIDN'T GET IT. GUESS I WASN'T DETERMINED ENOUGH. NOTHING BETTER THEN BUSTIN A NUT. FRANKENSTEIN Z
