Did you win?

I felt the same way. The other thing no pre-inspection? Makes eBay seem like gods!

Them are some flares!

pics please

Of course. It seems you know you can run them and appears you even have the correct hub centric ones on your truck. Like anything else, people do things incorrectly and spacers are no different. For fun jump on YouTube and look at all the failures that have occurred.

The spacers are prone to loosening. Is a spacer ideal no, can you do it yes. You introduce an additional check with the spacer. Maybe additional bearing load as well.

Awesome.

Welcome to the fun. Yeah don't toss, sell! Or donate, I'm sure someone will want it.

Bummer.

Have you confirmed if the R200 in the Car is open or LSD? Looking at the round drive shaft flange made me wonder if they threw an LSD in there. I know the 87-89 LSD came with a round driveshaft pinion flange. Easy check would be when both tires of the rear are up in the air turn one wheel. If the other goes in the same direction, pretty good chance it is. There may be other years that came with round as well, but I thought most were square. Below is LSD diff with round pinion flange. If it is and LSD, this is a good thing.

Interesting. Maybe Nissan made some other design as well? Mine came apart too. I was just shocked to see the original sticker still on mine.

No one likes a bragger.... but me, congrats!!!

I was curious on this nut. Is it a lock nut against the inner tie rod? Mine inner was different then yours. I think mine was the original OEM since it was wrapped in gold foil.

Well now American companies are saying "assembled in USA" to market as made in USA.

If you find some let me know. I've been looking for the exhaust tips for awhile myself.

I doubt it. You might find mufflers or exhaust tips pop up from time to time on eBay.

Is that Japan label a sticker? If you peel it back, it may say nardi or Italy.

I just installed my inner left from www.rareparts.com. Seemed Autozone, oriely, advance all get from rareparts and mark it up. Of course it is a right on the left. Part number is RP26575. It was $101 shipped.

Installed new left inner and outer tie rod ends. I don't think my rack has been greased in decades!

Valve cover came out very nice.

Interesting. Someone put a later model horn pad on the 240z wheel.

Hmmmm that may be a better reason then my 50th birthday, although, I was born in 69 so we kind of share the same birth day.

I am curious on your polishing technique. Are you using Clay bars, what brand? Sanding? 80, 180, 400, 800, polish?

I love the threads where we talk to ourselves. ?

Isn't that a grant with Z horn button? I have a grant that looks similar. Stiching in one spot is coming undone. I can get a better pic if your interested. $50 plus shipping and you get the steering wheel mount.
