  1. Are they out of stock at JDM car parts?
  2. I dodnt find any. I have one 240z front strut but didn't see the mate
  3. I will try to look around tomorrow some
  4. I might have a pair...
  5. Odd to see a crack that way. The force is applied from the other side unless the lever was somehow install to the other side of the camshaft eccentric
  6. What were the specs on your variable resistor?
  7. Are your plugs black? An overly rich condition can do this
  8. So how did you run it without the dash? I wouldn't have thought to try that
  9. Patcon replied to motorman7's topic in Build Threads
    He does such a nice job. You can tell he has done a number of these cars
  10. I agree. I miss the face to face catch up time!
  11. Who all is planning on attending? I have had a room reservation for a long time but work is looking like it will interfere
  12. So we sold mommas blue 350z a year or so ago when she got a company car. Yesterday we made a trade. I had this 2004 6.0 turbo diesel Lariat 2006 350z plum, automatic She looks really crushed, doesn't she???
  13. So 8/ 10,000ths I can't think of what harm it would do to retorque, Steve Can you or anyone else?
  14. can you register it?
  15. I learned this from Kevin Tetz's videos. My understanding is that plastic body filler is not water proof. Moisture will actually migrate through it. Fiberglass in contrasts is very water proof. I have found this to be the case in my own work too. Several years ago I quit using bondo for rotten exterior door jamb repairs and began using fiberglass. the repairs seem to hold up much better over the long haul.
  16. I would use a little fiberglass instead of plastic filler on the weld beads at the lower edge of the door. The fiberglass is much more water resistant than plastic filler
  17. I use that tape technique to straighten lines. I use a pencil and mark the high points on the door, for example, then I use a 4' level and draw a straight line down the door in pencil, Then I tape one side of it and block it. Then switch to the other side and block it again. Spray high build or filler then repeat...
  18. The automatic will limit the abuse transferred to the rear end
  19. I'm not so sure...
  20. Maybe ambient air temperature is contributing. Warm fuel and all...
  21. If it doesn't leak, I would leave it and paint it black
  22. Ford 9" requires a lot of fabrication. Just find an R200 and move on
  23. Doesn't look like it will fit and they look like raised letters. Might be hard to do well...
  24. Why do you not like acid etch?
  25. The diffs are pretty tough and the stockish motors don't make enough power to overly abuse them. They should always have a little bit of movement (lash). 1/32" seems really reasonable. I would put seals in it and run it
