got a pic of the wheels, and is there any chance you'd wanna trade or sale only? what size are they? condition? center caps? tires?

That is very interesting. I have also heard that .................................. as well as ................................. Neat huh?

Hehehe, I said I found it to be impossible. On the other hand, the guy at the body shop had no problem backing it into the garage with no modifications to the dolly. It just takes practice - I didn't bother.

Hey beandip - try not giving a sh!t anymore. It worked for me.

You can buy plans to build one yourself on ebay for about 5$ if you're into that kind of stuff. They're fairly simple - be sure you get a swivel deck dolly and not the fixed-deck one. The swivel deck one's are much better on corners. I think pulling with the front wheels on the dolly without locking the steering wheel is recommended as it allows the car to follow the car and dolly around corners. But I found backing up almost impossible in that configuration - not a big deal in most cases though. Another benefit is that they're lighter than a full flat bed which was an issue with my Murano.

Thanks M-Dub. I probably should have done a Google search first anyway.

Well I've been driving my RWD 210 around for a month or so (4-speed) and I must say I can't really tell the difference between that and all of the FWD cars I've driven. About the only thing I've noticed is that it sometimes jumps over speed bumps with a different feel from a FWD car, but I can't really explain it. What differences should I notice or feel, if any? Is it more obvious when a car with more power such as a Z? I only drove my Z for 1 day before ripping it apart so I have no experience there.

Yeah that's the obvious loosening - I was talking about settling of the parts ie. a freshly assembled axle may not spin quite as freely as one that's been on the road for 10 years. Mine are probably fine - they spin and don't make any strange noises or hang up. I torqued all bolts and nuts as called out in the manuals.

Could it loosen up after driving for a little while? I hope it does anyway because none of my refit axles spin as freely as a driven car (front or rear). I figured the grease needs to heat up a little and the parts might shift to optimal positions with a little driving.

I wasn't referring to you. I didn't suspect you reported because you are taking part in the thread! I suspect that most thread reports are reported either by someone who joins into a discussion to bitch and whine about the "direction this site is going" or someone who sits back and reads it through and it's too damn to stupid to just ignore it if he/she isn't happy with what's being said. Personally I don't care what you guys discuss on the site.

I knew the pansies would start pouring in the post reports!!!

Fun stuff huh? We have to do PRAs and FMECA (or "motherFMECAs" as my boss likes to call them) all the time. I can see how it would be extremely important for nuclear reactors etc but for us it's just a BS exercise that gets in the way of doing real work . Anyway sounds like your current jobs are much more exciting! Michael

Rocket scientist here - EE for an ionospheric studies group at UT Dallas. So obviously some things take more than a rocket scientist to understand as I'm very far from having it all figured out myself.

I agree those wheels look perfect on your 810. I don't think they'd fit anywhere else really though. See the '79 line-up below. It's got your 810 coupe on it (apparently the only model year it was available according to your production dates) and it looks like it shows those rims in the pic. This is my on my desktop now as it's got my 210 HB on it also. Cool ride stephen!

Hi Chris - No I just saw it and it ends soon so I didn't email the seller. Also I generally don't like to bug sellers unless I really plan to bid (which I don't in this case). Maybe someone else here knows what it is. Michael

Anyone know what this manual is for or who made it? Doesn't look factory to me, and it also looks like it's a hardcover. Ebay auction link
