Engine flush?
hello all. question here , should I use a motor flush , the car sat for roughly 1-2 years , it has oil in it now and the car is running but I haven't driven it yet , was gonna change the oil and didn't know it would doing more harm to use and engine flush to ge the sludge out , I am gonna replace the sending unit and clean the cam oiler bar after I flushed the engine, Also anyone heard of putting tranny fluid in the crankcase to loosen up that stuff? I honestly don't know if it is that dirty show 84k on the odo and the papers the previous owner had suggest this is true as well , thanks

yes you can use 1989 ish toyota 4 runner calipers and a i think its 83 turbo disks but you have to use a spacer plate , seen them on ebay and other sites usually runs 65-85 bucks a set for the spacers and then just get the other parts that you can get from a junk yard , good luck:geek:

All power goes dead on start
ok first does it make any noise at all when you attempt to start? if not you might want to check for an inline fuse , alot of datsuns have them and when one goes its like you don't have a battery in the car, check the manual or a service book < chiltons> for it, try that if you are not getting any noise good luck Jeff:geek:

Z Radiator
if you find a radiator shop specifically , most people charge around 80-100 to recore it <believe that is the term> I have seen the the 3 rows at msa for 200, not sure how much you were gonna spend , but I have found the dirtier and older the radiator guy is , the better the work he does , not sure why :classic: good luck ,

Vibration under acceleration and speed
sounds crazy but have you had any work done on the back of the car in the last 6 months or so , if so check the area serviced , there are alot of parts that could come lose if someone didn't do it correctly , had that happen to me but I would bet on u-joints , good luck:geek:

MSA Turbo Exhaust Install
ok I went with all of your suggestions and got the turbo exhaust from msa , hhm does anyone have a pic of it installed on their car so I can make sure to get on correctly , I know you are saying it only goes on one way but I am sure I can find another way <especially the wrong one> also does the tip have to be welded on at a muffler shop? and is recommend having a muffler shop tack it after I get it bolted in? any thoughts would be great thanks
