  2. Finally got tired of the play in my wheel, and decided to window weld the steering socket coupler! A list of things you'll need: 1: Window weld (You can get this at Autozone, Amazon, etc.) 2: A caulk gun. (I suggest a Kobalt one from Lowes. I broke two and finally went for the Kobalt and it worked. 3. A clean steering socket coupler. The rubber on the female side of the coupler just popped out of mine. The male side required scraping and a wire brush. 4. Gloves (I recommend..) Well, heres your clean coupler. http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr285/manlavi90/IMAG0547_zps4b8f7dbb.jpg As you can see, the female side is hollow. http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr285/manlavi90/IMAG0548_zps0535e02f.jpg I used a piece of blister packaging plastic from the wheel locks I bought early that day. I actually recommend aluminum can metal or something, using the clear piece as a template. http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr285/manlavi90/IMAG0549_zpsd0752e3a.jpg http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr285/manlavi90/IMAG0550_zps08bc7ce2.jpg Stuff the piece in the female side http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr285/manlavi90/IMAG0551_zpsb8e1dd5c.jpg Fill the female side with window weld. Just a forewarning, Window weld is some super stout stuff. I had to put the caulk gun handle on the workbench and lean on the gun to get the stuff to come out. http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr285/manlavi90/IMAG0552_zps9ab59636.jpg Put the male side into the female side. Leave 7/16'ths of an inch between the bottom of the female side and the beginning of where the rubber was on the male side. http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr285/manlavi90/IMAG0553_zpsa26d832f.jpg Slap your gloves on and run the bead around the coupler, but do it loosely. You want as much of the window weld to stay there, just make it look clean. http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr285/manlavi90/IMAG0554_zps0f17c942.jpg This job did pretty great for me, but I think I'm going to buy a a broken coupler from someone, window weld it, and put a piece of pipe over it and weld it. Metal weld for everything, window weld for back up. I feel a huge difference in steering though, and I retain the vibration absorbency.

  5. Had a slowly leaking brake master cylinder in my nissan 300zx, bought a new one but decided not to install until i started reassembling car. So i filled up the reservoir each time i had to take it anywhere and that worked fine-ish for a couple weeks, Then it came the day to pull motor + tranny to rebuild, had to drive 25 miles to shop to do so Start driving and at the first stop light realized the brakes had gone completely... yay! So i get about 20 miles just down shifting and using the handbrake I sort of forget about the problem, in 5th doing 65 on the freeway traffic pops up all of the sudden Hit the brakes - they go all the way to the floor. Then there's that second where you think :/ "well i get to fill out some insurance paperwork today" Slam it into 4th locks the rears, and slam into 3rd (which had bad syncros and made quite a loud clunk) Tires squealing and the back end sliding about, i pull the handbrake, and stop about 4 inches from the back of some poor guys hyundai Was in a pack of traffic for a while, and not a damn soul pulled in front of me not dying is the best experience one can have in my old z all in all, a good day and didn't have to fill out insurance paperwork!
