    So I recently ordered some front coilovers from TechnoToyTuning. It took 6 weeks for them to get here, and I was greeted by a box with the top of one of my $1200 coilivers sticking out. Upon opening, I find that the two coilovers were essentially dropped in the box unwrapped and the spaces around them were somewhat filled with expanding foam material. I say somewhat because they obviously bounced around a good amount in transit, leading to some dings and scratches. I'd usually brush this off since I'll likely nick them up in the future, but there are blemishes on both of the chromoly spindles from where they hit the other coilover. I can lightly feel these scratches with my fingernails, so they aren't purely surface marks. Is this something worthy of sending them back to T3? Or just polish them up a bit and run them?

    Well, it works as far as I get a signal from the sensor on a multimeter. I ordered uprights from T3 4-5 weeks ago and they get here Monday, so once I have them I'll be able to finalize the ring and sensor mounts. My car is currently in the air and I have a turbo engine waiting to get bolted to a still-unsourced CD009 and swapped in, so it might be a long while until I have the inputs actually working with an ECU.

    He mentioned it had a bunch of mixed parts and that it's registered with a clean title.

    I have an extra diff that I'd sell you, but I'm sure shipping costs would be insane. What are you going to do for axles, brakes, and hubs/bearings?

    They're pretty common in Southern California, but it looks like LKQ in Houston has 2 of them. You'll have to type Q45 in the search bar. https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/locations/LKQ_Pick_Your_Part_-_Houston_SW-239/recents/

    It would also help to get the car on the ground and settle the suspension before making judgements. Sometimes things can look weird when everything in the suspension is drooped.

    What stroke did you have it offset ground to?
  8. calZ
    Your logs say that it's cutting ground or you just measured that at the relay? If it's the latter it could be a wiring problem rather than the ECU.

    I don't know much about 2JZs, but at those HP levels you'll definitely need to do some chassis strengthening. The two links below should give you examples and ideas for basically everything you'd want to do. https://imgur.com/a/R27sh

    I have the TTT rear end kit. Obviously I don't have the custom 8.8 rear cover, but I'm putting in a short nose R200. The parts are amazing. The machining is great at the coatings seem good. That said, it comes with absolutely zero instructions. There are labeled bags of fasteners and the setup is relatively simple, but a set of written instructions with torque values would be nice.

    Door Mechanisms

    What's the lever arm on the caliper look like? Could you drill a hole further down it to reduce the required travel?
  13. calZ
    You might be able to just go at it with a hammer. I'd try that before cutting.
  14. calZ
    As the title says, I'd like door mechanisms for both sides. I'd like the full set of latch and rods, but it for some reason you only have part of it, I really only need the rods for the exterior handles and locks.

    I think it's deceiving how close the tires are to the flares. The car is built for time attack, so it will at the very least give enough clearance for racing. As Mark said, I'm not sure about on the street.
  16. calZ
    The car looks great! What size tires do you have on it? They look small to me.
  17. calZ
    Right, that is an issue. I was just addressing the original comments about the rear of the diff not having bushings.
  18. calZ
    To be fair to Apex, every short nose R200 kit uses that same setup. T3, Arizona ZCar, and Apex all have solid rear mounts. Even the stock mount is solid in the rear.

    Wouldn't just deleting the posts have the same effect?
  20. calZ
    I thought about that, but I think I'd rather not mess with threads and integrity of the shaft.
  21. calZ
    Thanks. I'm aware why the D-shape is there, I just didn't realize some aftermarket shocks came with a matching shaft. My setup from T3 with Koni Yellows has a round shaft. T3 probably assumes everyone will use their camber plates rather than stock mounts. I guess I'll just get to work with the file and round out the mounts.
  22. calZ
    But they're round? I've seen several people mention enlarging the hole, but never a word about having to change the shape.
  23. calZ
    Question for everyone else: in that thread, they mention the strut tops being threaded and having to drill them out. My original and OEM replacement strut insulators are D-shaped. What am I missing?

    l follow this guy on IG and YouTube, and he is opening up pre-order for copies of the flares he originally made for his time attack 240z. Thought some of you who are looking might want to know. https://www.industrygarage.com/shop-online/s30-flares-pre-order-special

    I had Jesse buy me a steering wheel off yahoo auctions, and wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again. I lost a few auctions before winning one, and he was always very prompt in sending the deposit back after I requested it when I lost. Super responsive even in non-business hours as well. The steering wheel came packaged well enough to survive if they had just thrown it out of the plane over my house, so he doesn't skimp there either. It took me like 10 minutes just to unbox it.
