Gordo 0 Report post Posted January 23 Oh, and I got may account locked on AR15.com due to not being woke enough, and posting without giving a shit about wokeness. Wish someone would revive my home, JZXP, and maybe add a firearms section... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordo 0 Report post Posted February 11 Too late, by posting what I did on AR(idiots)15.com, it is already common knowledge. Been through that before, even on stuff I didn't post design info with. There are a lot of starving small machine shops, and people who will send the info to chinky china to copy. No matter, I did it for myself. Next? Probably try to figure out how to do one in 9mm, or .22 rim fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battleaxe 0 Report post Posted March 8 Gordo, I was stoked to see a post in this thread and was hoping it was one of your many projects, I am sad it was just a ban from a site i know nothing about. I wanna see the car builds and non sense things you make for fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordo 0 Report post Posted March 11 Well, I may be posting more X-chassis stuff shortly. About given up on the Datsun truck, as it would probably be about a years project to bring back, even though I just located a free-be replacement box. I guy is bugging me to sell it. I told him only without the engine, maybe without the trans. If he doesn't want to pay the price of the wheels, custom radiator, and LSD, I'll just part it out, or park it in the back yard. My Cressida has been sitting way too log, damn it, and I have a lot more work into it than the old truck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordo 0 Report post Posted March 20 Oh Fucking Crap! Just found out that the X-chassis line was finally ended in 2020 😭 What started 53 years ago as the Mark-II upgrade from the Corona, ended with the Mark-X in 2020. Shit, Fuck, Damn it all!

Gordo 0 Report post Posted March 25 Well, hell has frozen over, started eyeballing the Cressida again. Pulled the 4 deteriorating car covers, and 5 moving blankets off, and it got a bath. Then the main hoop was carried out, for a trial fit, but won't go past the center console, so that will needed to come, witch I have to pull the auto shifter anyway. The IS300 side skirts got a trial fit. They will need a little trimming, but nothing serious. So the BN side skirts will be sold now. Lastly, Rue's custom seat adapters went in, and marked for drilling, and where the carpeting will need to be trimmed. Does anyone know of a cat repellent that I can spray on the new car cover?

Gordo 0 Report post Posted April 7 I shoot stray dogs with the blessing of the SA police. Besides I've found several cat repellents, bought 'cat mace'. They hate the smell. Hope it works, getting tired of buying a new cover every year. The bottom of the rear door where it starts to curve up towards the latch plate. Don't remember if there was any issue with the front of the front door area, that was beyond the range of my short term memory these days... Didn't see anything serious, so they went back in the shipping box for now. Started drilling holes in the bottom rails that Rue made. Not a damn thing square, or symmetrical in the X8 seat mount points, and I didn't want the huge slots that aftermarket mounts come with. Only have one side done, except for welding in the cross tie channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordo 0 Report post Posted May 19 By request, here is some of the dimensions for the rear Z32/R32 caliper adapter to use the JZX90 Tourer-V rear disks: The next time the cover is off the car, I'll pop a wheel off to fill in the blanks, and check the others.

Gordo 0 Report post Posted May 19 Oh, and an update to the cat repellent... Put the new covers on the X8, sprayed it down with 'Cat Mace', and took a trip out to the range to do an ammo test through all the mags for the AR45. When I returned about 90 minutes later, found this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordo 0 Report post Posted May 19 (edited) Where I left off on the seat bases: Two things wrong... I can only get bolts into the inner edges of both the base, and the seat uprights. And with the uprights mounted as shown, I'm 3.5" too far back, if I reverse them, I'm still an inch too far back. Right now, the plan is to add an intermediate plate, or weld a 1" extender to the inside, and a 3.5" extension on the front. Then drill 1" holes down the outer edge to remove weight, and give it the 'race car' look... This is what I get when I look at the car every 6 months, kind of loose track of shit.
