Possible they just didn't clean it well before paint. I'd strip it down and check for cracks though.... not something to gamble on.

I thought they were just S13 240sx rotors...? no?

So you're getting a tranny thats good for 900 hp, good clutch (not my pick, but not my car) , and a 2.5" driveshaft with 1310 u-Joints? Put a loop on it!

Anti-seize on the threads, grease on the splines. That is, if you want to make sure the nut comes off next time. But that's my $0.02. So that advice will cost you $0.04, roughly.

I have a badass update. I found a guy who parts Z32 cars on the side (has like 10 of them) And I bought: - pair rear NA axles - Pair wheel bearings - Pair 5 lug hubs - Pair calipers / rotors / e brake assemblies all for $350 shipped!!! this guy is the man in my book. Located in springfield, MO, fwiw.

These showed up today Ready to start installing and measuring for axles!

For sure. it needs something to slide on or you might get a false torque reading as well. USE ANTI-SEIZE that little tip could have saved me about $500

I'm using Z32 NA outers, as they are 27 spline, and i can use a 4 lug hub with them, or upgrade to a 5 lug. the Z32 TT hubs and axles are 28 spline, and no 4 lug option. I'll try to get some measurements for you. Its kinda hard to get motivated when its 8 degrees out there....

No pics. Its home built. Its where I notched it for the exhaust clearance. I wasn't really surprised though, because I took a lot of material out of it.

Not a big update. I took a bunch of parts over to a buddy's house and sand blasted / re- coated them. Found several cracks in my tranny x member. Welded them up, and went on with business as usual. The backing plates from T3 should be here this week, then i'll measure up all the axles and driveshaft. Bought some axle bearings / 4 lug hubs off a local and cleaned them up. going to order ARP studs, and possibly a bearing or two (kinda gritty see: 23 yrs old), and then i'll have more to report!

wrong forum bud. You'll have better luck somewhere else. Mods?

I've seen numerous cars use AL for downpipes (right off the terbeaux), as well as exhaust. I know a thicker gauge must be used, and also wider welds.

No track time yet......... waiting for the snow to stop falling. I had 225F 250R. Now i'm at 200F, 225R, for a little less harsh ride.

Looks familiar...... http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/106265-techno-toy-tuning-camber-plates-install/

I have a different theory. Since I've been through all this, I can almost positively say that the axle was too short, pulled out of the cv cup, destroying said cup, and then trying to compress again, forcing the star further onto the shaft. Maybe not though, i've been wrong before. Basically your axle is to short, so fix it lol.

Nice. I plan on building my own headers if I ever go a different direction with my car... I need to put a Catch Can on mine as well. I went to an LS6 valley cover and PCV system. Better, but not awesome.

Haha thanks Jim! That steering wheel is...... interesting. Welcome, look forward to seeing your progress.

These are the 5 bolt axles. I really only need the outer CV joints, with the splined shaft. LMK what you have!

The axles from the DSS would be about 1100, going the route i'm going. This is a billet 31 spline input stub made to mate to a porsche 930 cv. Custom length bars, and upgraded internals for the Q45 outer CV's. Inner CV's - $500 Bars / Rebuild / Boots - $600 Outer CV's - $50? I'm not sure if you could utilize a stock ford inner cv, with a q45 outer, and just have a custom made bar. Might be something to look into, but I know the ford inner 31 spline CV's are hard to come by ($$). I got the front mount finished up, and trimmed the fat off it. I'll post a pic of that later. here are the T3 strut tubes and GC coilovers that showed up. Backing plates aren't far behind. Definitely quality pieces. Powdercoat looks nice! Going to hopefully buy the bearings and hubs tonight or tomorrow, and be able to assemble all of it, and measure for axles / driveshaft.

Wow Dave, I had no idea ours were mounted so similarly. I made a bracket that mounts where some old connectors used to go..... Its cleaned up now... lol

rsicard - I'll try to get some measurements the next time im working on it. SteveO - You might be right in saying that the welded diff was a factor in the breakage of stub axles. However, I will have much less in this whole swap than I would if I'd bought a LSD and had it installed. Strength+ easy changes = win in my book.

I have an R200 mustache bar with poly bushings in id cut you a deal on.

I've got two longnose R200's. one welded, one not. 3.54 gears. also have a mustache bar with poly bushings. lmk if you're interested.

I never let mine get above 200........

Can you give me a measurement, and a picture? I'm curious how much of a gap there would be around the edges. Also, is it a GT grill, or a v6 grill?
