  1. If those two points are the only ones out of alignment then I would just pull then into position. The FSM has a chassis diagram that shows where everything should be. I used the top of the rockets for for and aft leveling and the top of the rear deck behind the seats fot side to side leveling.
  2. Heat, penetrant, and an air hammer have never been defeated on the 50 or so spindle pins I've removed.
  3. Most likely. I ran 1.750 four piston front and 1.375 four piston rear with a .875 MC.
  4. IR heat gun said the cover and case were typically at 260 degrees after a 30 minute track session. Less gear contact area means more force and heat generated at the point of gear contact.
  5. Assuming the kit pictured is the one for the 2+2 it won't fit a 2+2 body. Probably won't fit a regular S30 body,
  6. Noted. I know of the place. You are not the first.
  7. The R180 has a 7" ring gear. I raced with 275 ft lbs and would get the diff so hot you couldn't touch it without gloves. IMHO, that's the limit of its torque handling.
  8. Move it up so its level with or slightly above the bottom of the seat back holes.
  9. Probably too low and the metals clips must not contact the seat in s wreck. They appear too close to the seat.
  10. I spent time on the phone with the engine builder and he claimed a LD28 block as the basis for the TC24B. I haven't seen the engine in person to check.
  11. My 3.0L would go to 8,000 if needed. Only one straight at Thunderhill required that and only then if you were passing or trying to keep someone from passing.
  12. The TC24B engine displayed at SEMA this year in the OS Giken booth was a 3.4L built from a LD28 block and billet crank.
  13. You can also check with Don Okdenberg at DP Racing. He sells a nice adjustable rear bar.
  14. Yup, looks like the ST rear far, which was resold by Nussan Comprtition as their own. Check the OD. Should be 19mm.
  15. Makes the ride noisier and harsher. Improves at the limit braking. Does nothing to affect normal street braking. Improves handling, again at the limit. Little to no improvement at normal street driving.
  16. Ride harshness is caused by only a few things - assuming the car is in good shape. 1. Tire sidewall height and construction. 2. Tire pressures. 3. Bushing compliance - urethane TC rod bushings are horrible and urethane LCA bushings that are tightened to factory specs are almost as bad. 4. Shock compression valving That's pretty much it. Now, if the suspension has been messed with or is worn then you need fix that first. Also look at bump travel before engaging the bump stop (minimum of 3" at the wheel for a street driven car). Adding progressive bump stops like the Konis helps with that. Urethane bump stops are junk.
  17. Install one and then bolt the other 5 to the hood.
  18. I don't understand the fascination with these diff covers. $300? Really?
  19. Yup, need pics. Are you referring to the front xmember for the rear lower control arms that also holds the front diff mount?
  20. You're really thinking about putting six 60mm throttle bodies on a L6 engine? Are you serious or is this a troll post?
  21. Air bags are just another spring. Depending on the internal cone they can be linear or progressive starting from the base pressure. Just be aware that ride height changes have a significant affect on S30 alignment.
  22. The above being said, Bilstein P30s, 32s, 34s, and 36s are an inverted design and are a very good off the shelf shocks. But they are good shocks primarily because of their valving design and quality.
