Evan, I plan on going the SS Autochrome route. $100 vs $200+. Stony did a great comparison thread and it seems for a lot less money you can have the exact same quality part minus the "name". Good Luck,

$50 from a R30 Skyline from Japan. 3.9 ratio Thanks Stony!!

First thing I said.

Does a bear ♥♥♥♥ in the woods? I have one too, not installed but I have one. Good price I paid $100 for mine got real lucky.

Do you have fluid inside the cabin? I would check the pedal set for leaks and a trail running to the floor from the firewall.

16x8.5 -6 Watanabe R Type 225/50/16

+1 floor mats typical Japanese style. I'll take them if you don't want them?

Terry, Pics as requested. Click on pic for larger view. I mounted the spare front diff snout flange to a R200 3.7 and stuck 2 bolts through it. Looks like they are the same. PM me on what you want to do. Thanks,

Surprised you didn't lose it on the test run. Nice Z!!

Terry, I think this is what you need: Click on pic for larger image. They already have new nuts and bolts in them. See if there is anything else you need: http://www.putfile.com/240ztt/images/143913 Let me know,

Any other advice?

Did you see why they were fighting? Was the little one trying to get in the older ones food? Is it a food problem? Did you introduce them correctly? If not they might be trying to work it out themselves. How old is your other dog?

none other than the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V of course... 550 horsepower at 6200 rpm. 550 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/112_0803_2009_cadillac_cts_v Can someone please stuff this in a Z?? Please!!!

You can move the stick 3" when it's in any gear? That sounds like you need a shifter bushing. You shouldn't have that much play. Now the reason it is popping out of gear is something internal. My buddy has a few 5-speed ZX trans that do that. He had second gear replaced and while he was in there all bearings and syncros were inspected and replaced. What did they do exactly when they rebuilt it?

Yasin, PM sent.

I have his address and all the paper work, emails, Fed Ex receipts, Paypal records. Calling the DA might be a good idea. Should I even try to call him to mediate? I think it's past that point though...

Ok thanks for clearing it up. I thought my OS Giken twin plate was hard but I guess not. Sweet setup though

David, Sounds like your first dog is showing dominance towards the Boxer. Granted the ♥♥♥♥ hit the fan on the 7th night it's not nearly enough time to see how they will be together. Did you introduce them on leads? Don't give up man however, If you are unwilling to work with the dog I would look into a rescue organization specific to the breed vice returning the dog to a shelter.

Nice video man!! One thing I noticed your foot never left the clutch pedal. I heard that is the worst thing that you can do even if a little pressure is applied. Was I misled?

I need some advice in attempting to recover my money back from a simple transaction that quickly went bad! Here is the story long winded but it has been going on for a while. The “seller†was advertising a lot of (NOS) A.R.E. built for Enkei mesh wheels found in a warehouse. These were leftovers from the early 90’s, the warehouse was sold, a friend purchased it and its contents were going to be scraped. However, the “seller†stepped into help his friend unload them before they were scraped. I started to communicate with him via PM on another website where the ad is posted and we agreed upon a price of $732 shipped. This was for (4) 15x7; (2) +25 (2) +34 He even offered to have them taken to a local wheel shop and have them polished up for no additional cost since they were sitting and stacked in a warehouse for so long. This was too good to be true. So after a few PM’s and being that he owns his own company, I have his contact info I PayPal him the money on August 1st... Fast forward to the first week in September and he said that they were going to be shipped out. He was very nice and apologized as the wheel shop had lied to him and they hadn’t been touched. He assured me that he would get on them and get them shipped ASAP. He apparently has been selling the whole lot like hot cakes and thought they had been shipped out already. His family member was in charge of picking them up from the wheel shop, packing them and shipping them out. September 14th the wheels arrive. http://www.putfile.com/240ztt/images/145964 Call me crazy but these are in no way NOS and the offsets are not even close. I received (3) +34 and (1) +48. They look like they were pulled off of someone’s car, wheel weights removed (see wheel weight plier mark from removing the weights off), and one wheel hub has rust on the back side signs of being mounted on a car and rust transferring a rotor hat. I immediately called him and said WTF over? He apologized again and said that his family member shipped them out and he didn’t even see them. Even though on September 6th he sent me pictures that *HE* took before they were shipped: http://www.putfile.com/240ztt/images/152496 I didn’t catch it at first, however look at the dirty paper towel next to the clean roll of paper towels that is sitting next to the wheels . Wheel Shop my ASS!!! He asked me to mail them back (he would refund shipping) to make it right. He said he will have them brought up to my standards or exchange them entirely. I stomped around on the idea of sending them all back or at least the ones back that needed to be repaired however when looking at them very closely I got more pissed and decided that it would be better to part ways and for him to give me a full refund. Keep in mind that all communication since receiving the wheels has transferred to email because I had a feeling where this was going to go. So I sent him an email asking that I would like to return the wheels and would like to have half refunded now and the rest when he receives the wheels to show good faith. He replied and said that he could not refund me the money and that he would put the wheels up on consignment. I replied back and basically said how can you put them on consignment when you sold them to me to begin with I would like a full refund *NOW* or I will take it up with PayPal and my financial institution. I contacted PayPal and guess what I found out? I first filed a dispute online and after submitting it the dispute was closed immediately. WHAT!! PayPal has a 45 day limitation on disputes. Even though I didn’t receive the wheels until the 44th day and by time I opened them and started communicating with the seller the 45 days have passed. I have been a PayPal member for a very long time and this is the first that I have heard of this or had this happen. They said if I didn’t receive the wheels in 2 weeks then I could have opened a dispute. I didn’t see this as a problem because I was in communication with the seller. Frustrated, my next step was to contact my bank to see what they can do. They did an ACH reversal from PayPal for the full amount SWEET!!! I figured this way PayPal would go after the seller and everyone would be happy. I was in the middle of moving $300 from PayPal to my bank account (totally unrelated) and the next morning I received an email from PayPal saying the transfer was canceled and the funds were applied to a negative balance, WHAT!!! So I logged in and I was (minus)-$432. Pissed the f-off I called PayPal and was politely told sorry Sir you are past the 45 day PayPal limitation rule and this was a mistake on your part. Great!!! So finally I caved, I sent the seller ALL the wheels and put instructions in each box as to what needs to be done to the wheels. They were mailed back about a month later I emailed him to find out the status and guess what he SOLD MY WHEELS. The seller did not repair them like he stated he would in his email. The seller had the balls to tell me that he is looking for another set of wheels. Keep in mind we are both located on separate coasts. My wheels have been sold and he still didn’t refund my money!! It has been over 2 months another email went out and I said listen you have until XX date to refund my money and send it in a check (no PayPal fees), payable to me or I am going to take you to small claims court. The date came and went and no email reply and more importantly NO MONEY!! All conversations were through email except my initial phone call to him when I first received the wheels. I have not called him since. What are my next steps: Call him; fly out there, judicial system?

If it's truely in the back 40 take up two spots, who cares. Curb shots are always my friend and I can get it inches from the curb in case an a-hole parks all up on my line.

Beautiful, just forwarded it to my co-workers...

Sorry let me clarify -6 in Japan, whatever you can fit in the States. I meant with his wheel/tire size, I don't think that will work. Now if he put the stock hub on would it work, is the hat taller/thicker? Hanson/ Austin are you running 245/45/16 in the front? BTW how are my old 9.5's Hanson?

dwarlick, let me enlighten you on the Watanabe wheel game. First of all I got news for you what you have is not Watanabe RS-8 you have R Type Watanabe. Here is a Watanabe RS-8: Incorrect. The most commonly used size for 16" R Type Watanabe's in the front is -6. What you have (-13) needs to go on the rear. If you had 15" you can run up to a -19 (with flares) with no issue. You should run 225/50 front and 245/45 rear. With your current offset and tire size it will always rub. I would highly advise not to add washers to "space" it out. I don't even like running spacers IMHO. What are you running in the rear, wheel and tires size? PM Austin (240Hoke) is running 16x9 front but I don't know what size tires he is running.
