Finally received my LMGT2s after a year-long wait for an 18-inch, 3-piece conversion. Went with 18x10 for the rear, and 18x9 for the front. I selected offsets for proper fitment on a 300ZX (hopefully), as my plans are to put these on the black one. Unboxing video for those interested. Rare Rays...

Been doing a little spring cleaning in the house and the garage lately. I cleaned up this 70s Snap on Tool box set I got for cheap 3 years ago, and sold it a week later. Next up, this Craftsman box set that's been sitting around for a while also. This one has a lot of dirt and grease on it...

FInally got around to mounting a custom Nismo Old Logo sign that I had made. The ride quality on the D21 was starting to get kinda sloppy and the front was dropping lower and lower, so I decided to replace the shocks. I went with KYB Gas-A-Just. Gonna replace the leaf spring and tension rod...

Finally got a chance to hit a few garage sales this morning. It's finally starting to warm up, so there were a lot more sales today compared to the recent weekends. I picked up a 8" SK wrench, 3/4 Proto combination wrench, and 1/4" drive Proto ratchet for $8. I also found this vintage 1962...

Went to an estate sale on Friday, and everything was already marked half price. Apparently, someone was a Nissan Z car guy like me, because they had a few NOS Nissan/Datsun parts laying around. I'm pretty sure everything is for a 280ZX, since there was a set of 280ZX wheels laying on the floor...

Haha, yeah and that seems to be the case with this one also! I'd like to keep the car mostly OEM except for a few upgrades, so I'll probably stick with the OEM undershroud. I may order a replacement one since they can still be found, and put it on once I ensure that all of the leaks have been...

Fixed up this appliance dolly that I don't really need anymore. It was pretty rusty and the wheels had quite a bit of resistance to them as well. A few shots of garage door silicone lube and the wheels were rolling smooth again. Disassembled everything except for the wheels. I used a...

Thanks guys! I figured it was likely 50s, but wasn't quite sure. And yeah, I've never seen one this clean before!

I picked up this 30" Heritage Box at an estate sale for $37.50 a couple of weekends ago. It's basically brand new, but I haven't had any luck finding a date stamp on it. Any idea when this one was made?

Thanks LesserSon, I'll inquire about it in that thread (y)

I haven't posted in the garage sale threads in quite a while, but I picked these up last weekend at an estate sale. Everything was half price, so I got the 30" heritage box for $37.50 and $17.50 for the smaller box. Couldn't pass it up! From what I can tell the heritage box is either brand new...

Things have been a little frustrating with some of the vehicles, which I'll get into in a later post, but for now the weather is getting nicer, which means shifting some of my attention to outdoor projects. This is my first real home maintenance project since finishing construction. The sun had...

Thanks so much! :)

Thanks DeeDubz, it's a work in progress! I just finished the ****** replacement in my recent posts, so everything's a mess right now lol. I spent a good part of the day cleaning and putting away all my tools.

Ordered this slide hammer style tool to take out the pilot bushing. Worked like a champ, had it out in about 20 seconds. I decided to go ahead and replace the rear main seal while I had everything apart. I don't believe it had a leak, but this is the only time I'll get to do this preventative...

Thanks Unruh!

Sometimes unexpected (and undesired) projects come up out of the blue. 1-1/2 months ago, I replaced the worn out drum brakes in hopes of fixing an increasingly loud dragging noise. I soon discovered from a pool of fluid on the ground that the transmission on my D21/Hardbody was going out and was...

Thanks Rudi! Stripping the cabinets down to repaint them seemed like a daunting task at first, but it really wasn't that bad. Like you said, the main thing I needed was patience (especially with paint curing). I've been following your 260z build as well, I love that color. Counting the days...
