Yeah an auto turbo car. im pulling it off the diff in a few days.

The flange that the driveshaft bolts to? I have one from an automatic if it will work

Hey guys I had a cracked boot in one of my cv axles so i ordered all new boots and was going to tear them down and clean them up and put the boots on, But when i got them apart i noticed that they are very worn and very sloppy. So here is my question. What is my best option here. can these be "rebuilt" by having it welded up and machined down or something or should i just look for another used set? I also thought of ordering a set from autozone even though i know they wont be the correct length on one side and then just swap over my axle shaft to the bearing and carriers from the new ones. Does that make sense? If i go to the junk yard to find a set to do this with also i can get the NA Z31's also right but ill have to swap the shafts. Well I await your input. Thanks Jeff

Hey austin im pretty sure position 1 is the correct way for running with the mmsports adapters. I had a set of z31 axles that i actually flipped around for a guy before i shipped them. Position 2 is how they came from the factory though.

to me it sounds like you have your warm up enrichment going through both injector channels but you only have one injector channel reading off of ve table one

This seriously made me laugh out loud.

Not sure i would want to hang that on the fridge

Do i get a certificate or something?

So what do i win???

How are you torquing the head down?

Clogged exhaust. very easy to do on the supertrap muffler

I took it half way apart last night and tried torquing the nut down to 25ft lbs and then put the wheel back on and torqued it down and the wobble was still there so im almost positive the wobble isnt in the wheel bearings. Im buying a whole front suspension off of a guy tomorrow that im going to rebuild with arizonazcar coilovers. Im just going to put a spacer i have in there for now till then. obvoiusly ill keep checking it every now and again till then.

On a Z a worn ball-joint can not affect the wheels relationship to the strut housing. it is below the strut housing and only effects the relationship of the lower a-arm to the strut housing.

Yeah i almost put that in my first post lol

A worn ball joint would not allow for the wheel to move closer to the spring perch as the ball joint is below the strut housing and doesnt effect the wheel relationship to the strut housing. well im going to go tear it apart.

Yes i put new races in. I also seated them correctly. Ill try tightening them again. This is the side of the car that got damaged the most when i wrecked the car but i didnt think I actually hit the rim. I looked over the spindle when i had it apart and it looked fine. Ill mic it out when i take it apart again. Thanks for the ideas.

Hey i have a weird issue. My drivers side front wheel has a little play in it. My rims which are 17x9 -13 offset rota RB's are very close to the spring perch and when i go in reverse and turn my wheel it actually rubs. Its nothing major but obviously i need to fix it. I first thought it was my wheel bearings so I took them out and replaced them with new timken ones. Torqued the nut to 25ft lbs while turning the wheel then loosened and repeated to 25ftlbs and ten loosened 60deg and then put the retainer and cotter pin on. But that didnt fix the problem. I can feel it wobble up and down a little bit when i move it by hand but i cant find where its wobbling is coming from. as in i cant find anything moving. Does anybody have any idea whats going on or what could of come loose? The only thing i can think of is that the casting around the lower strut tube came lose but i cant feel or see anything moving when i wobble it. Well thanks for your input. Maybe one of you have gone through this.

Hey jeffp any idea on how long till we can buy this gasket? My MLS gasket let go and i need to replace it. Its just been on and off to many times. Well keep us updated.

Growing up my mom always cut the back of the turkey off when she made a turkey. One day i asked her why she did that. She replied. IDK thats how my mom always did it. I left it alone and then years later my mom was making a turkey and her mom was ther also. And my mom cut the end of the turkey off, Her mom stopped her and asked her what she was doing. and she repiled isnt that how you always did it growing up? Her mom said " oh darling, our oven was just to small to fit the whole bird in" Not really my mom but i heard it somewhere.

hrmm my birthday is coming up!!

Talk to Derek(guy that cast his own ITB"S) on here. He actually made his own sound deadening paint using some micro spheres or something. He did his on the inside of his car but same idea. It was alot cheaper than lizard skin also.

If you look closely you can see that its actually on blocks so the suspension is at full droop. So i think we can at least give him a break on the negative camber. But we can rub him for the 4x4 tires!!!!

I agree you need to get your eyes checked out. For future sanding i suggest wearing goggles and i also suggest getting a big fan (the one i used is3 foot tall) and have it blow the dust away from you while your sanding. Just make sure you stand upwind of your sanding.

Very nice phil. Its a great feeling once its all painted and done correctly!!

Yeah they are pretty quiet stock. My friend has a full titanium exhaust on his. it is not very loud and has a good rumble at idle. even from in his house you can hear it from 2-3 blocks.
