went to the local nissan (oc nissan irvine) and spent 15 minutes annoying the patient blokes that work there. Ordered 4 of both the inner and outer rings on the inner cv. Pns 3G234-03P00 and 3G734-03P00. $1.22 each.

Good point Jon. Will see what I can dig up. Thanks. Dave

hey guys. I'm swapping the inner cv ends of some z31 turbo cv axles to fit the diff I got from emwhyr0hen. I got one off very easily, however the other was far more stubborn, and I ended up breaking the circlip that stops it sliding off. Having a very difficult time finding a replacement and before I go to a dealer I thought i'd see if anyone both knows what i'm talking about (will have pic later in the day) and has one lying around spare? Or even a recommendation of where to start looking? Any good online sources for these things? thanks, dave.

Great advice guys. Thanks. Dave

!!!!! You my friend, ROCK! Thank you! Dave

Zmanco, Jon is correct. You can use the bump steer bushing kit from coleman racing I mention in the original post: PN 808-900. Richard, good point, but I'd rather not have the steering fail on me whilst driving about normally either. Sweet spot inbetween there somewhere Hardest part of this exercise so far has been trying to source the M14x1.5 left handed tap. Maryland metrics sell them, but I think they sent me a right handed one. Dave

Jon, are you using wilwood or outlaw calipers or something else? Sorry O/T. Dave

Hmm.. are the HR31 and Z31 cv half shafts really the same? Dave

Because only one end has to be 5/8. The inner ends have to be M14x1.5 left and right hand. I went the size I did because its smaller than both, but already drilled true so I can use the existing holes as a guide (I don't have a lathe/drill press in America). Hope that makes sense. Dave

hehe, i'm a tightarse, what can I say.

Guys, Just thought I'd share what I'm working on at the moment. DIY bump-steer adjustable tie rod ends. Parts: midwest control hex steel turn buckles (PN HBT8-8.00) 5/8" high misalignment tie rod ends + nuts coleman racing bump steer bushing kit(PN 808-900) Tools: 5/8" tap M14x1.5 tap M14x1.5 left-handed tap (still waiting on peoples to actually send me the right one) misc drill bits (9/16", 1/2") Apologies in advance for the really crap pictures. Drilling out the end: Retapping to 5/8": With 5/8" rod end installed: My only concern with this design was the relatively thin-wall thickness. The thickness is between 1.75mm-2mm at its thinnest point, what do you guys think? Also, I was thinking just grade 8 hardware for the bolts, and am planning on just drilling out the steering arm hole to 5/8". Sound ok? Regards, Dave

Awww don't leave us mere plebs out please. Build pics for all? Dave

What tyres did you run on? And what suspension are you running? Brakes? Or is the magic in the combo the person behind the steery thing? Dave

To avoid some nasty petrol smells, I'd dump it a little further back than right under the engine. Good idea though. Most exotics have had this in place for a long time. A 360 Modena for example has a valve that opens and bypasses the factory cats (true). Dave

Nice link Cam. Cheers, Dave
