[Custom adjustable t/c rods please critique]

What about just welding some flat stock (1/8" or better) across the top of the control arm and extending over the u bracket for the rod end.

You would need to redrill the two wholes for the ball joint mounting.

 

I like this idea.

[Gear oil recommendations for the R230 VLSD]

Amsoil 75w-90 gear lubricant. The limited slip additive is also available.

 

Depends on how you use the vehicle (racing, autoX or street use) as to how long the fluid will last you.

 

Also remember, if you put clean oil in a dirty environment it`s going to get contaminated from all the nastiness left over from the previous lube. My recommendation (regardless of what synlube you go with) is to drain and refill with some quality petroleum product and run it for a 100 miles or so (to clean things) then drain and refill with synthetics.

[Yet another SS hood for sale]

Links don`t work for me even copy & paste ???

[I think im gonna piss a few purists with this one..]

Mike, you’re a young man.

Pay attention to the older (and sometimes wiser) folks.

Get the M3 cleaned up, running and in good condition and sell it.

It will be worth more with original parts and pieces than with some “other†swap done, how ever nice it may turn out.

 

Thank ahead!

[who's looking over your shoulder ? your insurance company ?]

Like it or not it’s coming! Not just in automobiles.

It could be a good thing when someone says they didn’t, but they really did.

Why should a guilty person with a dirty lawyer go free!

On the other hand, why should an innocent person get convicted due to a broken system and or a dirty lawyer?

 

If you don’t do wrong you have less to worry about.

* notice I did not say you have nothing to worry about.

Be afraid, be very afraid!

I hate a liar!

[Why was the site down last night?]

Was it regular maintenance, fixing a problem or did something change?

Just curious.

[4 wheel disc brake change over]

Thanks GLENN280ZX and welcome.

Are you doing this mod to an s30 or s130?

Please post your documentation, pics and results.

[Exhaust Manifold only]

Do you guys neversieze the gasket or not?

 

Bolts or studs, yes

I`ve never neversized a gasket.

[Exhaust Manifold only]

are there any precautions against mounting the exhaust header only

and the intake later? this will be with a new gasket.

 

I wouldn`t tighten the header without the intake due to some of the bolts tighten both intake and exhaust manifolds.

 

just my opinion

[Tubing Bender]

Mike, are you ready to bend some tubing?

Let me know. I`ll help for some latter

[Common Nissan 5th Gear Problem]

If you can get the nut passed it`s old "stake" locations and "restake" it tightly, well mabye. . .

The nut should really be replaced.

[Hood problem]

Ck that the cable release is free and not sticking.

Ck and make sure the hood is aligned nicely with the fenders.

Ck, lube or adjust the release mechanism.

 

If the car is straight these items should get you squared away.

[Common Nissan 5th Gear Problem]

It’s the main shaft nut.

The rear tail housing (back cover) on the trany needs to be removed.

The nut is on the mail shaft, big nut can’t miss it. (don’t know the size).

If you have some mechanical skills it not difficult, maybe get yourself a Nissan Service manual for your year.

Otherwise, take it to someone.

[wheels/tires]

Great info!

 

Hey Admins & Mods, This should be a sticky.

[post count???]

I really wasn`t paying attension to it, but it was so mush lower it cault my eye.

I also noticed that alot of pics in some posts aren`t showing up.

I guess some more stuff got dumped?

[post count???]

What happened to the post count?

[Scored a free drill press!]

Right place Right time!

Sounds like a great deal.

[Jay Hitchcock]

Could you please give some details on the adjustable links in this pic?

What are they attaching to?

Very nice looking work!

 

Also, any details you care to share on how you are forming the rear panels on your car? (wheel well area)

 

[I got my oil pan flange today.]

Is it ready for me to come see yet?

[custome chassis update #2]

Do you have body work pics of the black car in your avatar?

Your website link is not working.

[Rear Hatch Lock Mechanism]

I have some documentation of my cable release hatch mod on my website.

I never have gotten back to this project to complete it, but might give you an idea or two.

[custome chassis update #2]

I’m impressed and jealous.

Any build plans or are you documenting the build?

Keep the pics coming please!

[Stub axle pull out force?]

Yes, I took off the stub axle nut.

 

If you haven`t, take the inside flange off. May need a small puller to remove it, they can be tight making it hard to get the stub axle out.

I would not use an air hammer and bit on the end of the stub axle until all else fails.

If you have a big enoungh slide hammer it should come out with some good hard pulls.

[ID these rear flares]

Thanks for all the help.

I just just word from the car owner and they are IMSA flares front and rear.

 

Mike, these are what Jim`s rear flares started out as. (get where i`m going with this)

[ID these rear flares]

The link for the pic was changed, try again.
