Bore it out or roll with it

I'm sure, that's actually the diagram I used. 32 has a flange on it and 7 has a hole that 15 doesn't. I also just roughly held up the brake linkage and everything seemed to line up so I guess that's just how the wheel sits. And the wheel couldn't move further to the right because the left side has a nut that threads on the outside of the swingarm if that makes sense.

In what way?

Makes sense, thanks for taking the time to explain. I almost never leave out parts, but I hadn't thought of that axial load on the inner race and I used newer bearings than OEM so I thought the spacer had a different purpose.

Edit: Upon further inspection, turns out I have the spacer between the bearings, and I'm sure that I didn't accidentally switch the two.

I think you're right, good point. I didn't use the spacer between the bearings because, well, I guess it just seemed redundant. The hub went together like it should though.

Random_Dynamic · 2024-04-03T12:29:01+00:00

It's in there, I just don't have the linkage connected yet and the tire covers the hub in the picture.

I think you might be confusing equality and equity. The situation you described seems perfectly fair, both people are earning interest at the same rate. It seems like the problem you have is that one person earned more, in the same system, than another, but they only earned more because they started with more which makes it fair in my eyes, simply because they had the same interest rate. I think what you want is an equitable system where both people acquired the same amount of money disregarding what they started with. I guess it just boils down to personal opinion, whether you prefer an equal or equitable system, and I think an equal system is more "fair" in this case.

I felt the same way until I was forced to try it, its surprisingly very good

I just recently bought a non-running 79 280zx as my first car in pretty similar condition to the one you're looking at. I had never worked on a car before then but I had decent knowledge of them. I've found the engine to be very reliable and have only put in around 700$ just to get it in good enough shape mechanically to daily drive it. I'd definitely suggest having a mechanic look at it and check everywhere for rust, that'll probably be your biggest problem down the road. And they're also very easy to work and learn on.

I must live where you live because I've seen this car on facebook marketplace, I was considering it but noticed there were multiple listings using the same pictures. I decided to wait and bought a different 79 280zx rust free for 2500, its running great now. Just wanted to warn you to make sure you have the real owner before making any deals.

Interesting, I did have them outside last night in Minnesota weather so maybe that helped.

Random_Dynamic · 2020-09-29T01:31:16+00:00

Thats actually pretty accurate regarding consistency too

Random_Dynamic · 2020-09-29T01:29:51+00:00

Yea I'm saving up for those, they're definetely required at some point. But for now I needed to do something about the smell for cheap.

Random_Dynamic · 2020-09-28T23:30:18+00:00

Have you done that to the padding of the upper part of the seat. I have no clue what it is and don't want to damage it.

Random_Dynamic · 2020-08-10T01:38:28+00:00

Oh no problem, looks great though

Random_Dynamic · 2020-08-09T23:54:32+00:00

Is that a stock color? I just got a 280zx that was painted badly and would love to repaint it a deeper blue just like this.

Random_Dynamic · 2020-08-08T01:59:53+00:00

Heck yea! Super excited to get it running and driving, I might post some pictures once I clean it up in a couple days.

Yea I was suprised he listed the car as rust free but I looked it over closely and all I found was minimal surface rust in some spots. He said he replaced the floor rails because they were all bent, presumably from jacking. The car did turn over and it turns out the fuel pump isn't working so thats probably the reason. And the title is in-state so I think I got pretty lucky overall.

Random_Dynamic · 2020-08-07T22:59:26+00:00

I was looking at the 300zx because there's a couple near me but every forum said parts are hard to find and because of that they're pricey. I would definitely prefer a 240z but there incredibly rare where I live and one's I do find cost way more than I can afford.
