  1. i am going out to try the l.w. canadian tire did not have any boe shield but thanks for all the help. if i had enough liquid wrench i would let the door soak in it!
  2. thanks guys for all your help. i am going to go and get me some boe sheild. since i am up in canada though, i will probably half to settle for wd40. i just got my new blanc keys today, and i will get those cut at the same time. i love it when a plan comes together.
  3. i am glad someone finaly knows what i am talking about. when it goes over the halfway peninsula, it makes awful clunk and it is way worse on the last peninsula. you can feel its not right too. it is pushing against the wheel. the wheel does not turn. is it supposed to? the door feels okay until you get to the notches. i dont have another datsun to compare to. but i dont think its right. the door lines up, and latches properly. what do you think?
  4. i dont think it is the hinges. it is the thing in the middle that make s the door stay a certain positions as it opens and closes.

    i did a search but could not find anything. it is hard to explain. When i open the doors it just feels terrible. it is on a 71. i think it comes from the peice that cotrols the door angle stops. you know when you open the door and you can feel it go thru a couple of notches. everything works but feels bad you know? i am not explaining it right but maybe someone knows what i am talking about. is there something i can replace, or is that the way it is? tks
  11. I was looking at the concole picture of a 71. it had another handle beside the choke lever. What does that do? i have the slot but no lever. is there a way to change the angle on my seat in my 71? i can mive it back and forth but not the other way.
  12. Well up here in winterpeg, we are just digging out of 10 inches of snow. It was all gone, and i had the z out and about. Now she is stuck in the garage. Well i guess it will give me time to put the stereo in.
  13. thanks for putting up woth me guys later
  14. anything crazy i should now about when i install them?
  15. its just that when i think of a strut it means a spring and shock together. you order one and they come in one peice. or am i just crazy?
  16. so they are sruts not springs? i look at the clearence that i have , and there dosnt have a lot of room between the tire and fender. souds good guys , i am going to get me some then. tks jason
  17. just asked the guy that i bought the car off of and he says he never did anyhing to the springs or height of the car, so does that mean that the lower spring should be ok? jason

    i have a 71z that has p215/60r14 rears, and p195/70r14 in the front. Now when i have two people and i am driving fast and hit a bump in the road the rear tires will scrape the wells somewhere. i have heard you guys talking and i dont believe that tire size should be a problem. So if that is true then i need new springs right? could shocks be the problem it does not seem to bounce that much. so i found some performance springs at the z store that say they lower the car about an inch. wouldnt that make the problem worse? am i stuck getting regular stock shocks? tell me it ant so! jason
  19. thanks i will
  20. it is dark and just went out to move my datsun into the garage. i turned on the lights for the first time and the dash lights stayed off. is there a separtate switch? and if there is where is it?:stupid: tks
  21. i just noticed that one of my rear tires is sitting at an angle. is that a part problem or a adjustment problem? tks for your reply jason
