[lower control arm pin/bolt puller]

back in december there was a posting where someone was selling a puller for the rear lower control arm bolt. i did a search and couldn't find anything. anyone know the person??

[how do i tell what kind of gears are in my rear end]

i believe i found these diff ratio numbers on bryan little's site a couple of years ago...the first number is stamped on the ring gear.

ring = ratio

39:11 = 3.54

37:10 = 3.70

39:10 = 3.90

37:9 = 4.11

[diff swap]

i found an r180 4.11 diff to swap into my 240z, but it has no stub axles in it [they are the pop-out kind], my existing r180 has the bolt-in stubs. anyone know where i can source the proper stubs to snap into the new diff and that will bolt/mate up to my existing 240z half-shafts?

thanks...

[2.5 or 3" exhaust system??]

does anyone have any insight as to the best system for my z? i have; f54 block, p90 head w/isky cam, msa header, jcr supercharger setup. i am considering either 2.5 or 3" from the header back. i don't know if the 3" would provide too little back pressure or not.

[diff swap]

has anyone considered the swap of the qx4 front diff to a z? i once read that the nissan had adapted the driveline from the skyline for the qx4. does this mean that the front diff is an lsd, if so-would it then be a potential donor source?

[Mazda rx7 lsd diff into a 240z?]

instead of the rx7 diff, what about the supra diff? i know zexel/torsen makes an lsd for it.

[altima se brakes on a 240?]

i was looking at a friends '99 altima se the other day and began wondering if; 4 lug bolt pattern is the same, if so-would those brakes fit on a 240? it has 4 wheel discs and look to be a pretty decent size. anyone looked at this as a possible conversion before??

[head; bolts or studs?]

john, i'm not sure what you mean by "bolt ends in a water jacket". can you explain that to me?

 

thanks, david

[head; bolts or studs?]

i will be putting my engine back together soon and am debating on whether to use the turbo bolts or an arp stud kit when i pop the head back on. any experience or thoughts on either? i am running a jcr blower kit on my z, stock compression turbo block w/p-90 head. running 6-8lbs boost.

 

thanks, david [1 tuff z]

[fusible link issues]

go to a car audio install place and ask to purchase or have installed a [comperable] inline fuse [grab the specs from your manual]. this would accomplish your desired task of protecting your circuit and fuse block.

[head gasket recommendation?]

i went to auto-x the z sunday. after helping set up the course, fired up the z accompanied by white smoke-yup-had that sweet smell to it so i knew the head gasket was giving up. i parked it [and eventually limped it home] and was offered a drive in another car [so i wasn't totally bummin']. anyway, i am running an L28 turbo long block with a jcr supercharger setup. i'm looking for suggestions for my new head gasket. i would like to keep the stock compression. thoughts, ideas and/or suggestions are appreciated.

 

thanks-david

[No More Arizona Z fiberglass body parts!!]

concerning smoothline. i purchased; hood, front fenders and headlight buckets from jack fussenegger [owner] and had them shipped to my friends body shop. when they first opened the hood box, they thought it was steel. all the parts came truck'd and all without damage. i had my body man thoroughly examine all the pieces and he said "these are by far the best fiberglass pieces i have seen, in my 20+ years of paint/restoration/bodywork. anyway, jack's number is 724-274-6002 and/or www.smoothline.com.
