  1. If you have the hicas elminator kit, you have the capability of using the hicas control rods as adjustable toe links to dial in toe angle, whereas if the hub has no such provision, you have to find other ways to change it. considering i'll be having a front and rear s14 suspension, i decided to make the most of it. we'll see how it pans out.
  2. yeah that's probably it, as they try to do it as quickly as possible to get more laps in on track days. trying to do 4000 things at once, you start to miss some things. good stuff.
  3. I don't know what it is, but on every S13 install of pillow ball mounts, no matter how tight or how perfect the suspension is dialed in, I see the camber plates scarred and shaved and the suspension at full neg or full pos camber all the time. The bolts don't grip as well as they should. what do you guys do to remedy that problem? what are those nuts that have the serrated base?
  4. envy and jealousy are slowly driving me to the point of hate I HATE'CHOO AND YOUR BYOOTIFUL Z CAR :'( <3
  5. well the RB26 might cost a bit more upfront, but it is lighter (i think) than the VG30 and it also does have the potential to make a bit more power than the VG30 on the standard internals, as well as the fact that you only have to buy two cams if you were to upgrade (saves you a couple hundred bucks), and i think it fits the engine bay a bit easier, and makes things easier to work on. the VG30 is pretty wide, but could probably sit a lot further back in the bay, allowing it to have a bit better weight distribution. I Just think the RB26 might be easier to work on, however, a lot of the parts you're going to buy will have to be special order. Either way, you'd have to use the transmission from the VG30 if you want to have RWD 5-speed. So unless you can find one on it's own, or get an RB25 with the 5speed instead of the AWD (some shops will do this, as they've already taken the hint that most applications for the RB series won't be going into a AWD car or use the standard 5 speed AWD transmission or the 6 speed getrag. If you'd like to make it economical and better bang for the buck, go RB25DET. can't go wrong with that combo.
  6. good idea. I noticed the finger scribe marks right away. you should always use a sanding block. if you don't use a flat surface to sand onto a flat surface, you can see it right away... and if you plan on making it look as good as possible with rustoleum, make sure you stay away from using your hands. it still looks like it's coming out very nice, and even with the hand scribes, id bet it'd be a kick ass paint job for under 100 bucks.

    DIS... in 1917

    wood coil housings + fire extinguisher on hand = safe ride hey... what's that white e30 doing back there?! !!!
  8. I've found some pretty seldom used SETRAB oil coolers from Nascar parts shelfs on ebay. Most of the time they look like they've not even been put on.
  9. i was just pointing it out, whether it's on the front of the car or all over the car. =)
  10. I took the part number for 11024AA, in the lower right corner of the 1st image. it's listed as 11022-58S00 - PIN, DOWEL couldn't find it on CourtesyParts though.
  11. you seem to be sanding with your finger tips. have you tried using a flexible sanding block?
  12. do you have a moisture trap on your air line? moisture in the paint will make it turn orangey-peel like. I sprayed a pathfinder with factory black paint, and it came out a bit peel-like... but to be honest, it suits the pathfinders rugged shaped.
  13. i think i speak for everyone in the Z community when I say
  14. I foresee this thread being almost more popular than the Girlfriend thread. LOL
  15. It's not a saying, but I love how in Canada we have the french product label on almost every product. I noticed that Enamel is Email. So when I ask my roommate for paint, I ask him "Hey, you got mail!?" and he just has this blank face all the time.
  16. I think that he is piloting a track car, so looks arent the first thing in mind. Tall GT style wings only "look" ricey because people who don't need them put them on cars who don't need them. Otherwise, they're fully functional and sometimes the only option. They can do what a whale tail will not.
  17. good call. any notes on the output of that ALT ?
  18. yeah, just like "it's always in the last place you look!" sure... cause any bright individual would keep looking after they've found it, right?! LOL
  19. take a picture of this thing please? i was at princess auto yesterday and forgot some stuff, so i must go back soon.
  20. well i got the boshc unit number from my RB30. perhaps it can be crossed at Napa, and they have a replacement.?
  21. Word has it that the entire floor pan of the GTR was welded in by shortening it in the middle to allow the wheel base to mimic that of the Z, while shortening the driveshaft took care of the rest. On the Nakamura Z anyways.
