Some tips and info. Your axle is a simifloat, hence the bolts at the end of the axle tube. Full float axles have bolts for the axle shaft on the very end of the hub. Big trucks use those kind. C clip axles are like what was said in the vid, but youll never see that with a 3rd member because you cant axcess the c clips. 9in diff is stonger than 8.8 because the pinion is supported by a bearing on both sides of the pinion gear and ofcourse the ring gear difference adds strength. prussian blue works but actual yellow gear marking compound is definitely better. Your gear pattern is set by your pinion depth. Back lash will effect it slightly but major changes will be in pinion depth. The spanners are what you're calling the shims. Calling them shims is fine really but you know the internet. Spanners set your backlash as well as your bearing preload. Setting preload on tape bearings is just as critical as backlash. Since you took your pinion nut off you'll also need to set pinion preload and possibly put in a new crush sleeve unless it's shim style pinion gear. Pinion preload differs with new vs old bearings. Hope that helps

I forgot to mention the spanners are threaded. Set your bearing caps, hand tighten and Turn the spanners by the holes to adjust. If you torque your caps you won't be able to adjust the spanners.

Hi 11s low 12s for sure.

That’s the idler arm. People can custom turn bearings to put in the idler arm so it doesn’t wear from heat. Turn some brass on the lathe to fit and add a zerk fitting and just grease it every so often. Also maybe coat the down pipe for good luck lol

Cleeter is such a stand up guy he probably would help a thief break into his house. Even helped with tips for a wheelie. “ Throw some sand bags in the back and send it brother.” Adam looked like a kid at Christmas pulling the axles out. Isn’t the pitman arm attached to the steering box and idler arm is on the passenger side? Holy low tire pressure Batman. Adam needs to do a giveaway and the winner gets to come down and rage on the Navy Bean. That front bumper needs some super glue. It’s friendly and waving at us. At least Cleeter didn’t jinx em with the ole “ I can’t think of a single thing that could go wrong.” Excellent video Adam. I need the Navy Bean.

I always figured you and Garrett/Cleetus were too busy to collab but I really hope you both can find the time. Both some of my favorite youtubers!

Dude, respect to Cleet to walk you on elementary stuff for ‘merican drivetrain, but imagine those people learning about 4 rotor JDM nuggets as fast as you did about that 9” axle 😅 Good stuff! Loving this “non-build” datsun. ❤

The brapsun. Easily my favorite car on the channel and it's not even close. Love the mods you've done so far also. So good!

The car using a pitman steering system was cool, I only really heard about them in class and from the guys in the heavy-duty trucking class from my college.

man this build is one of my favs on the channel ur smiles and playing with ur 9 inch for the first time is so good

Love Datsuns! My high school car was a 1978 Datsun 510 hatchback in blue, with black louvers on the rear window and chrome rims (rare for that time).

Cleetus giggling was what I needed today.its ok Adam we know the 9 inch is like an alien to you.

Drive shaft angle isn't what matters , it's having matching pinion angles so if the transmission is at a 2 degree angle the diff should also be at 2 degrees . You should see the angle of the drive shafts on a lifted Jeep , that's some crazy angle .

This little mini series on the Datsun is so damn good! It’s great to see Adam getting his hands dirty again 😂

Hahahahaha 😂🤣 im dying laughing watching this. Adam not every one has worked on these type drivetrain. So screw it you have to learm but thannyou for not cutting away the best content this year so far

Cleetus loving your lack of 9" knowledge was hilarious. He was definitely the right person to call.

Tip for wheelie: slip clutch, let it roll the slightest bit, heel toe clutch and brake and dump it, this will let the weight transfer to the front right before the torque drops the rear end and you’ll be airborne

I bet you if you let yohan drag launch that thing he would get it to lift off. The combination of him being puerto rican and that big head of his swinging inside the car, surely the front end will lift right up

i love this content adam has the best interest in everything we love

Really like this build because it's very similar to what you see over here in Australia. Dattos with 13b, ca18, sr20, FJ20, etc.

Ive been doing rear diff repairs and builds for 30yrs, everybody starts somewhere so i will never criticize somebody not knowing about everything. Thats simply not in your normal wheelhouse of what you work on and thats fine, its not what you know its that you know where to get the info to get it done. From the beginning when i saw the 9” i was like…..yea he’s probably going to fk something up….and was talking you thru it the whole time but you didnt listen😂. Main thing is you got it done and learned something different.

Adam is bikelife fr , man’s is really out here wheeling a car 😂🔥

I love that little car. Take it to the track with Kyle, and see what it's got in the quarter.

I've never wanted to see one of these projects come together like I have this one.

This whole episode is a comedy. Great to see someone learning solid axle stuff.

Wow that thing is definitely gonna wheelie on a sticky prepped track! Awesome job! 👊

Nice work Mike turning the slow parts into the fun sttutter edit

Loved seeing cleeter get a kick out of your 9 inch questions, would love to see cleeter at the compound drifting with you one day!

I think Cleeter summed it all up perfectly,Eediot😂,the old Datto is a bit of a weapon,love the channel and keep it up mate cheers 🇦🇺👍🛞🔥🛞🔥👌

More collabs with cleetus would be sick, get him to help you with a full on drag build 🤞🤞

Adam trying to wheelie and Cleetus trying to keep the blazer on the ground XD

I grew up with muscle cars, hot rods, and trucks (+ carburetors). All of it seems so much simpler to me than what you usually work on. I knew as soon as you said you were calling cleetus that he was going to get a good laugh.

Would love to see a restoration series on the LZ Channel of older cool cars, he has the facilities and all the people to do it plus he has the storage for a crazy collection

Watching Adam work on old school american parts is pretty entertaining, I wanna see him build a first gen Camaro drift car 👍

ahh, the '9 nich diff', gotcha

The wrench with a ratchet u mention at 3:00 . they exist bro. Im working as mechanic and use them basically every day.

35:20 started out cringing watching the hammers while the axle still in... Then when the shimming without the bearing caps, car still does burnouts and doesn't send the stank oil all over the compound. Like reverse Murphy's law, if you did it all "wrong" you cant be disappointed. Everything worked out and everyone in the video had the gigles. Loved this one.

Great video, funny too. I was one of those guys yelling about removing the 'axles' we call them half shafts in UK

This has been the absolute best car yet!! I like that he's going outside the box and comfort zone and still having fun with it. He needs a 510 next😅😅

All of us old guys are yelling at the screen and face-palming. Lmfao

KZreadr doesn’t know how to use KZread to look up out to take a 9” apart. 😂 as a jeep guy I’m really enjoying this content. All the other jdm is another language for this guy!

Love the datsun, probably the most unique car on the channel yet

These videos really set the tone of "I have now fucking idea but let's do it" and I am all here for it

Reminds me of my RX2 days, yes, I'm Puerto Rican. I like what you have going on here Adam.

I am crying. 12:05 "no clip... on my gat ya herrr" was goofy as helllll

Cleetus is the man quality FaceTime absolute gold thankyou 👌🏼👌🏼 had me grinning for ages

Man this is awesome! The rear tire/wheels Setup looks crazy cool now! This would be a sick drag/street build..😍

"It looks cold." "What?" "Your welds." "I don't know what that means, but thanks."

I luv Johns reaction to every car!! The man luvs cars and speed as much as LZ.

22:57 Adam look like he’s racing for pinks😂 I love it bro❤

I love this car! One of the best builds/ upgrades on the channel!!!

This is the best ever, I have a Mazda R100 and a 9 inch watching you try to pull it apart I was like yelling at the screen trying to guide ya.. keep it up brother love what you do

Love these type of build! I had one of these , hopefully I’ll see you at a track one day racing for fun. I’m working on a s10 many blessing to you and all your builds

Lol, this is genuinely funny content. I've never worked on a rear end, and I knew from watching car shows growing up that you didn't need to pull anything you did, and that you had to pull the axels. I was always one of the forum guys who defended 'dumb questions' because no one is born knowing anything, much less everything. This car is not high up on my list of interests but the videos have been great.

Really love this car brings back so much memories from back home in PR… weekend cruiser…..❤

Dude, you've got the wheelie machine, now you need to get more and turn them into drag, street and drift monsters 🤣🤣🤣

Watching Adam struggle to remove a 3rd member was the highlight of my day haha pop the axles out then remove the whole 3rd member. Even Miata’s use 3rd members just with IRS instead of the straight axle.

“It’s on Sean.” Yohan: “it’s more than that.” 😂😂😂

Adam . . . You need to be on the next episode with Cleetus when the guys try guess drag times with this car. Perfect quick collab

The Ford axles are so nice . Those collars rotate in the bearing cap to adjust your pattern

This was as much a Cleetus video as it was an LZ video, loved the impromptu collab

Great move calling Cleet, this car is awesome.

I love this series seeing you work on old school stuff, I'm building an 83 camaro right now so it feels at home 🤣

Quickly becoming one of my favourite builds

This is why I love older cars and trucks they just have so much more character

You can tell that little puppy loves his momma 🐕

This little Datto looks really fun.. Ive seen a few with 13B transplants done here in Aus. I used to have a 79 Mazda 626 (the RWD ones) that i upgraded with 13B Rotary .. Awesome little car, they actually have the same running gear as the first series RX7s (FB).. To run it with a Rotary, I used a cut down RX4 single piece drive shaft. Worked well but the only real issue it had was it chopped out UV joints all the time.. Suggest just checking them regularly as I found out the hard way what happens when one snaps..

This was a refreshing change. It's nice to see everyone just chillin and having a good time

So, I'm gonna be one of those guys in the comments. But just for a moment haha. I've grown up working on Fords and own a few. Also a "posi" is for GMs. All that out of the way, this was so entertaining. Especially Cleeter laughing at the shenanigans. Super hyped about this build!!!

I'm watching while I wreak of diff fluid, I have been working a Ford 8.8 all day to sway into my jeep. Loved watching you fight the 3rd member before being laughed at by cleetus😂 By the way, I'm a Missourian
