I know this is an old thread, but it seems like the right place to ask. I'm setting up my car for road race, and about to do some seam welding. I'm probably going to drop the tank to do so. And am wondering what the actual reasons/advantages are to switching to a fuel cell over the OEM fuel tank...

I didn't realize you had a measurement in that picture, which axle was that though? I measured mine at ~57.5mm. So, likely same as yours given a little room for error. I did notice from your picture that while the shaft section appears to be the same length it looks as though the actual splined...

GRNDSM-mind measuring the two for me if possible?

Bleh, I can't find any damn axle cups-and the ones you linked were actually already out of stock when I tried to get them sadly...And my diff is done now too =/

So I'm currently having an EVO 8 clutch/plate LSD installed into my previously open diff pumpkin. I got my information about the swap from this thread here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/evo-rear-lsd-in-a-1g-2g-housing.467544/According to the thread, the non LSD 2g axles I already have...

Forgot to mark the driveshaft, although I may have done so in the past, and 50/50 chance I'll get a new one anyways. Found the ABS harness, as my last post indicates. (I posted without refreshing the thread so hadn't seen your reply yet) Yep, already had the flex hoses disconnected, as well as...

For posterity the only thing you really have to watch out for is single harness connector on the passenger side, I believe for the ABS, so non ABS cars might not even have it. It has plenty of slack, once the subframe is past the studs you should be able to see it. Fuel lines, brake lines, etc...

I'm about to drop my rear subframe, all the suspension stuff is out of the way, along with the axles, hubs etc. Only thing I'm not sure of is whether the rear brake lines, or fuel lines etc are bolted to it that I need to worry about? If anybody knows what other less obvious things like that I...

I ordered a pair for the front control arms, supposedly they are the same. I haven't changed them out, but it does appear that it is the right size. I'll probably have them in sometime in the following week here, I can let you know if they fit. Part # MOOG K90264

I don't have my car on the road atm, as I decided I may as well upgrade my brakes, since I just got done replacing the MC and booster, and have to bleed everything anyways. It helps that I scored some Evo 8 wheels for a good price too. But 99% sure it was the booster, not sure if MC could cause...

Right, I am tracking the rotor difference, as I mentioned, I know that stock 1g rotor is 314, cobra is 13" or 330mm if I recall. Which is part of why I thought it might not fit, and wasn't sure if the adapter bracket would push the already massively wide caliper out closer to the spokes. I guess...

I'm going to be swapping to these brakes, I already have the calipers, but I haven't bought the brackets yet. I know that stock 16" 3000gt wheels, will fit the 4 piston vr4 brakes ON a 3000gt vr4. However those are 314mm rotors, and the caliper is mounted directly to the factory hub. I am not...

I have to check, but I think I have a prop valve on firewall AND an ABS module, ofc it's possible they bypassed it instead of removing it altogether, I'm not really sure how the delete works as I haven't done one, I just have reason to believe that a previous owner did, that prop valve on the...

I'm having a hell of a hard time figuring out which brake master cylinder from RockAuto is the correct one. The ones that say AWD say non ABS, or just don't mention ABS...the ones that say ABS say FWD, or don't mention AWD.... Someone please for the love of God tell me which MCs will fit...

Thanks, I actually figured it out over on 3si from a pre-existing thread. I didn't realize that it is actually a male fuse, which is why I couldn't get the damned thing out in one piece. So for posterity, if anyone else is confused and or wondering why they can't get it out in one piece. It is...

What style is this fuse called? I am having a hard time finding one...Autozone I stopped at didn't have one...would help if I least knew what to search for...

So finally figured this out, or at least narrowed down a good bit. It is the brakes locking up, unplugging the vac hose to the booster frees them right back up. I assume this means the booster is bad, or could something else cause that? There is a kink in my FR braided SS flex hose but that has...

As overs have mentioned it seems that these are the same rotors as the 1g 3000gt vr4. I am wondering if it is the same calipers as well, sounds like it might be, based on information from here(ie. same piston diameter): http://www.stealth316.com/2-brakeupgrade.htm When I have time and finally...

Thanks, I actually figured out where the relay was, and the problem, after it combined with my other major issue left me stranded on the side of the road, never a dull moment with a DSM. For posterity, what happened was the starter +cable came loose, then while on the side of the road from the...

I have an intermittent no start, where I try to crank the car, I hear the starter solenoid click once (as they often do when your battery is dead.) but then doesn't actually crank, and the battery isn't actually low. I wondered if maybe the clutch switch wasn't being pushed all the way in, but...

If I knew someone with the space I would...there is plenty of room at my grandmother's house but she is pretty set on not letting me do it there, which I'm not happy about, but I understand her reasoning. The other issue is even if she would, I am in a really crappy situation where I am kind of...

Well this sucks....apparently Jacks doesn't have any cores in stock...and I don't have anywhere that I can have the car apart for the 5-6 week turn around time...Only way I couldve done it was if I bought the trans first then sent mine in as a core, since that can be done in 1-3 days....Man I'm...

I agree, but a suitable transmission rebuild is 3-4 grand. That's more than what I paid for the car..

I'd love to meet some fellow DSM/car enthusiasts in the Pgh area. My talon is running but not drivable atm, pretty sure my tcase is toast, putting a new tcase in it next week, hopefully get it back on the road. Although it needs a new clutch and transmission rebuild and I'm starting to...

There is a member on here selling a rebuilt one, so I'm just going to go that route. Won't hurt to replace it anyways as I plan to race the car.

I thought of this, but I believe I once asked somebody if it were possibly to do that and I think they said something to the effect of the trans would send all the power to the output shaft and the car wouldn't go anywhere in the same manor a peg leg sends all the power to the wheel with no...

Tcase has been my primary suspect from the getgo. Are you saying that these are typical symptoms of bad tcase??

Actually I don't think brakes. Because the car frees up if it sits a while, and even driving it at first it will roll normally if i get off the gas and or go in neutral. And if it was a problem of brakes getting hot from dragging and cinching down, then they would have to be dragging from the...

Some more/new info, after changing the slave cylinder and bleeding it, i drove the car a short distance, at least the engine didn't give me any drama after sitting a few months. Anyways, at first the car was normal again, however then it started binding/bogging/dragging again, getting...

Checking it out how? other than a visual inspection not much i can do with the tcase, unless there is a simple test that can be done by hand, ie. if i turn one shaft the other should or shouldn't move or something like that. Tcase isn't terribly difficult to pull anyways, and the hard part is...

It appears that the slave cylinder is leaking/bad. I found no other leaks, but there is fluid on the slave cylinder and the boot on it's pushrod. The boot seems to have a cut/tear in it, but I assume this boot isn't what actually seals the slave cylinder, and that it's not supposed to have fluid...

So I finally got to work diagnosing this, have the front wheels up off the ground, they turned but not full rotation, also of note, the driveshaft was moving. Now if I understand viscous couplings correctly, Shouldn't I be able to rotate a single wheel completely, wouldn't it require a more...

It's missing the oil from the leaking oil cap, lol! On a serious note, I am interested in one, plz PM paypal info, or include in this ad, could result in more sales from lazy people like me, lol. And actually, do you do CNC machine work? I actually have something I need CNCd out of 6061 or 7075...

It didn't pull to one side, if the brakes are seized it isn't just 1, in which case it would be the ebrake or master cylinder or something, although if it was the ebrake the most common suspect would be if it was stuck on, in which case it would have been like that when i first got in and...

I have a really bizarre problem, this did happen after changing my driveline fluids on the drive home. Everything was fine at first, perfectly normal, then about halfway home the first odd thing I noticed was I had more boost than normal, at a low rpm, with light throttle (was cruising on the...

I'm well aware there are sockets for them. I hadn't considered head size but if anything that would seem like a detriment, as 9/10x they are replacing a regular hex head bolt, that had a larger flange area to hold whatever it was bolted to in place. Plus I have yet to see an allen that had a...

Kind of random, but it just seems like many of the aftermarket bolt kits available for cars(and not just ours) come with allen heads instead of hex. I'm not really a fan of allens bc it's a pain if you don't have sockets for them, and I'm really just kind of wondering why they are so prevalent...

What kind of tire width is ideal for AWD cars anyways, I mean at current power levels I don't have traction issues in either car, I can't remember what's on the Talon, but I think 215 or something relatively narrow, my 3s has 245s, not particularly good tires on either car as well. 3s is...

The calipers were too thick. Factory wheel size on a 3s is 17/18x8.5 +46mm.

I guess I still don't really understand offset, it seems to me like less offset should = more clearance for a thick brake caliper from everything I've read. Yet for some reason it seems to work the opposite way? I tried to put RPF1s in 18x9 +35mm offset on my 1g 3000gt vr4, and I was certain...

Did you ever find an answer about this? I'm looking to run the same setup, vr4 front calipers+Enkei RPF1s in 17 or 18.

I know because I rebuilt the throttle body myself, additionally I had the throttle body from my last Talon that had a normal feeling gas pedal, it did seem like the springs on this one were maybe a little bit weaker, so I even tried swapping the springs from my other TB and it made no...

After a few more attempts screwing with it I finally got it to cooperate. Hopefully this can help someone else-the thing that finally got it in place was putting it in the way it was originally(2 little lines go above the screws, screw heads towards elbow),however I had to back off the throttle...

I searched and it seems like everybody else has the opposite issue... My gas pedal takes hardly any pressure to depress, and I know it's not the cable adjustment or throttle body springs. I am wondering if there is some sort of return spring that goes on the pedal itself, that is missing? I...

Mine is set up just like yours, I think the one in that video is different though. I guess I can try screw heads towards manifold...idk, this is pissing me off, finally have this thing back together and can't drive it because of this BS... And I'm sick of driving 3 hours each way to work on it...

Rebuilding my throttle body, and I didn't mark the plate before taking apart... That being said, I have tried all 4 possible directions for the plate to face, and it's catching the bore just shy of closing completely in all 4 orientations. I did actually have another 2g tbody lying around, and I...

No I don't, as for things working as they should, I had the whole oil system apart and completely drained. I didn't have any engine assembly lube unfortunately, I think I put some silicone or something like that on the oil pump gears, and then put a little bit of oil in the housing thinking I...

Was trying to avoid that method because I didn't want to make a huge mess and lose perfectly good oil... but wound up doing it anyways, worst part was I had to actually drain some oil from the pan back into the bottle. Then I found out the hard way that the feed to turbo is good, thought I had...

I had the oil pan and pump off for a refresh, and I also am installing a new turbo and switching from on head oil feed, to the filter housing. Unfortunately I forgot to prime the oil system before I installed a new timing belt(And I'm not taking it back off). That being said, I disconnected the...

Also going to grave dig, I was looking for info about rebuilding TBs. Anyways, I recently discovered a trick for stubborn screws. Don't use a regular screw driver, use a bit driver+correct size bit. Idk if it's because of material hardness, or surface finish, or tolerances or what, but I found...
