[Stock rear spindle/knuckle needed]

It's a 73 240z passenger side and yes the lockbolt is out. I'm in Raleigh NC. A little over an hour from Asheboro

[Stock rear spindle/knuckle needed]

So my spindle pin won't come out of my knuckle assembly. I put it in a press and it is bending the rear control arm instead of pushing out the pin. Wondering if anyone has a knuckle I could use, don't need any bearing or stun axle or anything just the bare knuckle assembly. Passenger side.

So I been messing with mounting the 8.8, thought u may like to know of an easier/cheaper way of doing this. Just make the flat uprights and drill some holes in them then weld a cheap bushing. Similar to what Sunnyz did. The diff will be about an inch more forward than ideal before the cover hits the stock uprights, and this is made worse with the sandwich mount as it moves the diff forward by the thickness if the plate as well.

 

So if you can CNC the uprights with the holes in the right spots, and weld bushing in you'd achieve a easier better mount and can eliminate the moustache bar. Would be easier to manufacture too

I'm guessing this is dead then

[LS turbo manifold options]

I don't think any 2 into 1 system is good on these cars, ground clearance is small already, and to use a 2-1 exhaust you would either have to go under the tranny, or make half an exhaust that goes around the back of it. Going the under tranny route would give you about 1" ground clearance

spitsnaugle I'm very glad to see you doing this. I saw ZCD kit with the idiotic mount that bolts outside the cover requiring a new one and was wanting to make something exactly like you describe that sandwiches. Are you making a suspension upright too? I think that is the main thing to make the swap easy/cheap. I was wanting to do something like Will did but have it just use the explorer front hubs and not some Franken-dodge dealio.That way you could grab everything from a junkyard from one car, and then you can use the stock explorer CVs with just a shortened axle. Should be super easy and affordable.
