Just got them back a few minutes ago, good work boys.

Im sorry if my post sounded insulting, that was not my intention. If I knew my post would have caused such a ruckus, I would not have posted it. A lot of posts after it are not helping you. I have followed the thread daily. I felt your frustration in post 69 "Nothings making sense". You also answered the question I asked back in post 68 in post 70. If one reads the first 20 and last 20 posts, there seems to be little progress, and that would frustrate me. If you follow most threads, people fix one problem and find another, then another etc. That is why I made that comment, this thread seems to be churning around the origanal question. Can you take it to a shop in your area and ask them to check it. When its in the air and you can also walk around under the car, might see something that you're missing now. That would be my next move.

Yeah take it step-by-step, and you'll get there. Keep us updated on what the body shop results show. As far as forum talk; take the good with the bad and just keep working towards your goal. Everyone has an opinion, and just as unhelpful as some of the posts are, there are more helpful posts.

It will take a good methodical approach to detemine the issue: looking at each corner suspension component, connecting links, bars (along with a manual for the car) and see if every piece is in proper working rder.

ZCON would be awesome and my Car Club is sending a few representatives, but I will not be one of them unfortunately. Unless the military sends me to Ontario for something in the same time frame that I could sandwich it in! I knew I was in trouble when the air impact and nut remover tool starting hammering away at the opposite threaded end and the threaded portion of the spindle just tore off like butter... the other spindle spun nicely while being torqued. And yeah, I was very close to buying a small 30 tonne shop press for bushings and such and thought, hey! this should do the trick!....Glad I took it to work and realized it's not the press that's the problem here... It's not just that.....it's ONTARIO! ewwwwwwwwww..... Yes, I still have options. The ATF fluid is hopefully going to free up the pin for the press. Failing that, I have heat. If that still looks like the pin won't move before damaging other components, I have drill presses, milling machines, lathes, explosives......

Now THAT'S a press!! I think I just heard my wimpy little 20T press in my shop whimper in fear... More rough back of the napkin calculations: At an estimated 125K psi tensile strength for the spindle pin with approximately 0.69 square inches... It would take about 43 tons before the threaded porting tore off. So you can be confident that building a beefier puller device would probably never have worked anyway and would have been a waste of time. If it took 60 tons to move that thing, the tip would have ripped off long before it started to move. We absolutely DO need to get together for drinks!! I don't know if I'll ever get really close to you, but I am hoping to make it to ZCON 2016 in Toronto next year. That's not far from you, right? It's in Canada after all...

They may think it's a movement! So we're going to veer way off course for a moment... This past fall 2015, I went on a quest. I couldn't find the dump, but I did find: Unfortunately, it is a bit overgrown and no longer open: Nature has started to take over: The church, however, is still vibrant as "The Guthrie Center". https://guthriecenter.org/ And yes... That is a red VW Microbus in the parking lot: Sorry for the detour, and back to your regularly scheduled event.

^^^ Driving a RHD car is not challenging, shifting is a breeze , parts do exist via UK and Australia Ebay or at the local NISSAN store , this car has a cocktail of bin parts from a 300ZX/240SX. Lots of attention for sure due to its rarity . The RB20DE has plenty of grunt , but a mill upgrade is on the agenda.
