I just grab the lip of that locking piece with my trusty Channel-Lok pliers and wiggle it out of the groove that it locks into. Never had any troubles. Use a small ball-peen hammer to tap it back into the groove when it's time to install.

The spindle that we are refering to in this thread is the PIN that connects the Lower wishbone (A-Arm) to the strut housing. The part that you are refering to is the "STUB AXLE". I do not know how difficult it is to install the stub axle. (I haven't needed to do that job yet)

That is the site that ZMeFly (ZMeCruise) posted a link to in the 2nd post of this thread.

I haven't used the tool, but I can atest to spending an afternoon trying to remove one pin. Then an overnight SOAK in WD40, then most of another day trying to remove thatone pin. Finally spent $50 to have both pins pressed out. Buy the tool, you will be time AND money ahead. Just my $.02 Carl

Thanks for the warning. If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS! Cash or Certified Funds only. If you don't know the buyer, contact the bank that the check is drawn upon before accepting it. Better safe than sorry! A real, honest buyer will understand your concern.

It is available from Victoria British, and probably from Nissan, but it will be expensive for what it is.

For those who may not believe that Dubya talks like this, I did a quick search and found a website with audio files of BUSH-isms, so that you may hear with your own ears. Dubya Speak Audio Files!

Sadly, I do not have any of them on tape. The list was sent to me by a friend. However, I have heard a few (very few actually) of these quotes replayed on a local AM talk- radio station that doesn't like Bush very much.

"The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country." -George W. Bush, Jr. "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." -George W. Bush, Jr. "Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. "Welcome to Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. "Mars is essentially in the same orbit...Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr., 8/11/94 "The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr., 9/15/95 "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr., 5/22/98 "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is 'to be prepared'." -Governor George W.

Bush, Jr., 9/21/97 "People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. "I stand by all the misstatements that I've made." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. to Sam Donaldson, 8/17/93 "We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. "Public speaking is very easy." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. to reporters in 10/9 "I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican" -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. "A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr "When I have been asked who caused the riots and the killing in LA, my answer has been direct & simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame." -George W. Bush, Jr. "Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it." -Governor George W.

Bush, Jr., 9/18/95 "The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that George Bush may or may not make." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. "We're all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr. "[it's] time for the human race to enter the solar system." -Governor George W. Bush, Jr.

Unless I'm reading your post wrong, it SOUNDS like you fixed the plastic box, NOT the electrical problem that CAUSED the box to meltdown in the first place. You need to fix the functionality first, then worry about the cosmetics. Usually when the fuse box melts it is because of: failure of a component, which may cause resistance & generate heat in the circuit corrosion of wires or connections/connectors, which will cause resistance & generate heat overloading of circuits with more demand for power than the circuit was designed to deliver safely, which will generate heat [/list=1] Sadly, I am not an expert on troubleshooting, so I cannot advise much except that you need to know what demands you are placing on the circuit that melted (did you add something that requires more power than the circuit can safely deliver?), need to examine all of the connections and clean them (maybe even solder them) throughly, and make sure that all components in the circuit are functioning properly and not drawing excess current though the circuit.

I understand what you are saying, Rick Darius seems (I don't know him personally) to be a major thrill seeker as can be seen if one follows the links to his website and browses around the video files. Given the cost to build his supercharged LT1 powered Z car, I suspect tire expenses are of realtively little concern to him.

Well, I'm basically a purist, but Darius' Z is really a well engineered car. I certainly do not think that "butchered" is the appropriate term for this vehicle. If any of you have seen the video of it roasting the tires in 3rd and 4th gear while going up hill, you have some idea of the performance this car is capable of putting down. It is really an amazing performer.

Got any extra tickets?

I'll keep an eye open for it in the Pleasanton area.

Oh, OK. I was just checking your pulse, Rick. Guess it IS still there.

Try ZHOME

These are the MAJOR seals for the doors. 76801-E4100 Weather seal, Passenger Door - 1 Req'd 76802-E4100 Weather seal, Driver Door - 1 Req'd There are other small seals on the bottom of the doors, on the front of the doors, and some small ones on the rear-most part of the doors where the door sheetmetal meets the window frame.

OK, I need to make some assumptions before we go into this: I assume that your engine is complete and installed in the car. Right? Also, I assume that you know the difference between an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold. Right? If not, stop right now and take your car to a mechanic for the valve adjustment. You are not ready to tackle this job. All you need to do is look at the manifolds. The INTAKE valve for a given cylinder is DIRECTLY across from the INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER for that specific cylinder. Same for the EXHAUST valve being DIRECTLY across from the EXHAUST MANIFOLD RUNNER for that specific cylinder. You must look to see which manifold is DIRECTLY across from EACH valve you want to adjust! Due to the design of the cylinder head and manifolds, it is not as simple as Intake, Exhaust, Intake, Exhaust, Intake, Exhaust, etc. From the front of the engine (Cylinder's #1, #2, #3, #4, etc.) working towards the firewall it starts with #1 EXHAUST, then #1 INTAKE, then #2 INTAKE, then #2 EXHAUST, then #3 INTAKE, then #3 EXHAUST, then #4 EXHAUST.......etc. Look to see which manifold is DIRECTLY across from EACH valve and you will see what I mean. It would be easy to spell it all out for you, but you would be better served to look at your engine and follow what I've given here to get you started. Confirm that you see what I'm talking about and apply the information to the remainder of the engine. This should get you started on learning about your engine. If you do not have a shop manual (at least a Haynes manual, or preferably a Nissan Factory Shop Manual) please consider getting one. It will be the best money you can possibly spend to maintain your car.

It is the seals that go on the body that you want, there are only small seals in various positions that go on the doors. Courtesy Nissan in Richardson, TX is your best bet for a good price. I can dig up the part numbers this evening if no one else posts them.

Try Ground-Control Website click on Application Guide link. I suspect it is a generic picture, but they don't seem to have specific model pictures.

Eric: See the newly created forum for Dashboard Restorations. They are now a supporter of the club and I believe that Jim of Dashboard Resto was trying to arrange shipping for a group order through a thread in that forum.

Thanks for the pic. So, that one is a MILD one? Geez, I can't imagine what a hardcore bogan ute would look like!

OK, I'll ask. What then is a bogan?

Hi Jerry! How have you been lately? Yeah, I did see the British GP this AM. An interesting race with several good dices and some great passing. I do wonder how many pounds (or Euro's) Bernie paid that WACKO to embarass the BRDC by running out onto the Silverstone course durring the race? It certainly messed up the pit strategies of all the teams. So, when are we going to Vegas for a "hunt"? EDIT: After THAT comment, do you think we would let 2Many be our gunbearer? Not a Chance!

It does not matter what order they are adjusted, only that all intakes end up with the correct gap, and all exhausts end up with the correct gap.
