  1. Specifically a used OEM one? RockAuto seems to have a few different options for rebuilds
  2. Is there some type of coating on the hub splines? From your second picture, it looks like something is either peeling or being machined off as you slide it on. I would try cleaning out the hub splines with a wire brush. It surprises me sometimes how little it takes to really jam up things with a tight fit.
  3. I was going to suggest just going and looking at the clearance rack at the Simpson factory store in Harbor City, but it appears they've closed up shop in the last couple years. That's really a shame. It was great to have a place like that locally. Cheap but new gear and also could get measured for a top-of-the-line custom suit. Looks like they moved everything to Texas.
  4. Yes, those measurements are correct.
  5. What were the issues you ran into with your intake?
  6. Haha of course, but probably a bargain compared to having it done in the US.
  7. Yeah, that makes sense. The middle man has to take his cut. I've had a few small things made for different projects and it always baffles me how cheaply I can get things. I ordered a small part recently, and it was ~$50 shipped to my house via air mail. Someone has to take the order, someone else has to machine it, another person has to package it, and then all the people it takes to get it to my step from China, yet all of them get paid somehow.
  8. Did you work directly with a machine shop over there or did you go through a service like Xometry or PCBWay?
  9. I think the angle of the picture is just playing tricks on your eyes. This has less of an angle change from the TB to the port and a longer radius on the plenum than the Protunerz intake.
  10. That looks like a nice solution. The 240Z has a different center vent setup, so I'll have to do something similar when I put mine in.
  11. What are you swapping to? I thought you were running this now
  12. The Cometic gasket that was designed by a member here (Jeff Priddy) is the current favorite. It has individually bossed holes for every possible port on every head/block, allowing you to add even more cooling pathways if you want. Godzilla and Milkfab both carry it.
  13. 1 x Hoodie Dark Heather XL 1 x T-shirt Dark Heather Gray L 90278 Thanks so much for doing this!
  14. Personally, I'd prefer something done a shirt printer. I've never had much luck with the iron-on kind. If @cockerstar wants to start taking pre-orders, I'm in for a hoodie and t-shirt at a minimum
  15. You used to be able to get a billet spray bar from Larry Hassler. I'm not sure if he's still making them or not. 626-358-2885 was his number. If you give him a call, please report back and let us know what his current price/availability is. It's always nice to know the options.
  16. There's also this option, which is meant for EFI conversions. It allows you to use a retrofit in-tank pump, or an OEM pump if you're going LS swap or similar. https://www.vintagetanksolutions.com/products
  17. This was always my favorite design, but it's something you'd have to make custom.
  18. I did this one on desktop using the "choose files" button. Seems to work for me
  19. How are you inserting it? "Add files" and then browsing to the file location? That's what I did for the photo below, though I'm on a phone rather than a PC.
  20. He also mentioned speed, but didn't show the data. The faster you go, the less angle you can get away with. You usually run autocross, correct? You'll be able to get away with more angle than a road racer. You could always just make an adjustable flat plate diffuser with a flexible transition and then dial in the angle with tufts and a camera. Once you know where your limit is, you could build something more permanent.
  21. That was a good read. Thanks for the link. That makes sense to me. A small separation bubble means you're stressing things to the max. You see the same thing on the top side of a wing just before stall. Max performance, but you're right on the ragged edge. You stall as soon as the bubble starts expanding, like his pictures show. To me, a device being "separated" means it's completely blown up. I did a poor job of communicating that I think.
  22. Something else that's just kind of assumed in all this is that your underbody is isolated from the outside air. If you do a great job of shaping the underside of the car but don't have it sealed off, you're just going to draw in air below the doors and it will ruin all the low pressure you worked hard for. F1 achieves this using strong vortices to "seal" the sides of the car, but sideskirts are a lot simpler.
