As the years continue to go by, these chassis'are starting to show their weak points.I had a typical saggy door, and came to find the hinge pins and bushings were just fine. The sheet metal and threaded holes were not.I believe from the factory these square threaded holes are tack welded...

Just ordered a .70 T3 housing for my HX40 from Bullseye and slapped a T3 gasket just to see how the inlet matches up.Am I frickin hallucinating, or is this wildly smaller and offset? I wasn't expecting it to be perfect, but a whole half inch on one side?I'm not sure if I could portmatch this...

So I have a very spirited street/strip drag car. I run 235/60-15 M&H cheaters at the track. I currently have 17 evo wheels with potenzas for street use, and it's miserable when I want to put the pedal down. I'll break all 4 loose, and then get blocked out of my next shift, and I'm sure my...

Hey guys, brought the car out of winter hibernation and the first drive was rough.Ignition kept cutting out over 3k, and had a hard time keeping up idle. Pretty normal troubleshooting has been done, but I'm posting this now because I noticed something odd:In ecmlink both the rpm and speed...

So I pulled my head and I'm just wondering if I'm going crazy, here. But do I see multiple points of failure?Was chasing a bad misfire at WOT which turned into dropping cyl. 2 completely. Had some free time on my hands, so I pulled the head.Anyone else ever had multiple points of...

So I have a 97-99 Cam angle sensor and a kiggly crank sensor to retain factory signals on the ecu on my 6 bolt.Curiosity is getting the best of me here.... When I unplug my cas while the car is running it doesn't change how it idles or revs. How does the ECU know when to send spark or...

Background: So I'm chasing a very intermittent misfire dtc that that I don't really feel. Sometime pops up as random sometimes pops up as cylinder. 2. Never during wot. Only after cruising.My ignition system has new everything minus coil pack so it's first thing I test. Resistance at primary...

As part of a recent driveshaft rebuild, I ordered 3 transfer case yoke recall kits to "commandeer" the U-joints. I sprayed the U joint caps and snap rings (C clips) with carb cleaner to get the paint off and I found that two out of three yokes did not have the same size snap rings holding them...

Ok so as the title states, I had a spark plug strip out (took plugs out and tightened them way too many times apparently).I used a spark plug repair kit, retapped the hole and placed the insert in with red loctite. I used the taller insert available which i believe is the correct one. The very...

Ok so from my understanding, it is completely normal for a car to have a higher idle while moving in neutral(1300-1400) until coming to a stop (where it returns to normal 900-1000) Whether it be to keep it high for power steering, or whatever.My curiosity spikes when I notice that the idle...

I'm creating this thread in an effort to increase my basic knowledge of the 6bolt oiling system and to help me decide on what kind of oil clearances and modifications I should do (such as elongating/widening of oil chamfers on the crank, porting oil galleys and deciding how loose I can run my...

Ok so as I'm popping the piston and rods out of the 6bolt I have laying around, I notice yet ANOTHER issue with whoever built this block...The BSE was performed, but instead of turning the bearing and popping them back in, "they" just left them out. No wonder they sold this block.. probably...

So I have a built 6 bolt block that's been sitting for a year or so awaiting a buyer or a new shell to drop in and I noticed this discoloration at the bottom of the bore. Can anyone tell me what this might be from? She's been sitting a while. Just warm up idle time on it. (8-10) minutes worth...

I'm posting this in an effort to inform others the modification needed to a 6 bolt timing cover when doing a 6 bolt block swap in a 2g.If you notice in the picture, the opening for the engine mount needs trimmed on the left in order to clear the left side of the mount.This can be...

Well, my camshafts are leaking so I might as well replace the TB as well. I ordered the Jayracing Cam Gear Fixing tool to lock the cam gears in position. I've heard this makes timing belt jobs so much easier/faster so I couldn't pass up the opportunity.My question is should I leave the tool...

I decided to post this in the newbie forums as I don't know squat about our parking brake system.I recently heard that all-to-familiar sound of brake pad hitting metal, (driver side rear so I thought) So i ordered my brake upgrade (powerslot rotors/ss lines/hawk pads) Got them installed on...

Ok, so I' have been prepping my garage for a new concrete floor. It was most likely improperly poured and it has since been subject to a lot of "use." So I tore up all the pre-existing concrete and layed down new gravel and it is all tamped down and graded (level and flat)Here's the...

Ok I'm in desperate need to start tuning. I'm getting DSMlink in a month and a wideband is a necessity soooo..... I've read tons of information on installing widebands, but nothing concerning having a narrowband already installed. I bought this gsx from someone who obviously was oblivious to how...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I've done some searching and ive pretty much figured out i need a new alternator but i just wanted to confirm. this is what happened... My car wouldnt start this morning, just clicked and very low voltage on my...

Hey guys, new to the forum. Tryin to fix up another kids mistake: 97 gsx. He obviously didnt take care of it, timing skippedd a tooth, bent all the valves and broke one, stickin it between the cyl wall and the piston. I've completely rebuilt the head with new everything, can see my reflection in...
