  1. Passing inspection in mass

    Cars that are over 15 years old don't have to pass the obd II scan part of the test. To be honest, I would probably just take the bulb out from behind the CEL until you pass inspection. Cars that are over 15 years old, it is only a safety check, no emissions.
  2. Young DSMers 21 and younger

    I'm 22 but bought my first dsm when I was 17. I first saw a 1998 red gst spyder on the lot when my parents bought their first car frm a dealership in 1999 (mitsubishi montero special editon that's still driving strong). I was 9 years old and the dealerlet me sit in the spyder and I was hooked...
  3. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    So are there any suggestions going forward with this issue? Just a reminder my slave cylinder will not depress fully not matter how my clutch rod under the firewall is adjusted. It only fully depresses if I crack open the bleeder valve.
  4. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    Update:I went to adjust the clutch today and after an hour of trying to adjust it, still no dice. I did exactly what Jack suggests and I turned it counter clock wise trying to get the slave to actually go in and nothing. I then proceeded to "reset" everything and I turn it clockwise all the...
  5. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    I am going to re adjust the master cylinder rod tomorrow. We got some pretty bad rain out here. Yes, I agree, the pivot ball should have never been shimmed but that was 2 years ago and I did not know better to tell the mechanic not to. I am going to have to redo the slave cylinder washers...
  6. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    UPDATE:I finally was able to get under there and add some washers to the slave. I ended up adding about 3 washers to each bolt and the slave definitely seemed better positioned. I took the car out for a drive and at WOT the conditions have changed. Before the added washers the rpms would...
  7. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    Let me explain a little bit better. The bottom bolt is nearly impossible to get to without removing the front cross member. I was wondering if this is normal. It seems like the transmission is completely resting on the member. Is it normal to be sagging that much?
  8. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    Well I went to take the slave out today (right before the ridiculous amounts of rain) and I realized the front cross member is completely blocking me from getting to one of the bolts. Is this normal that the cross member sit so high up/ the tranny sit so low. It seems like the transmission is...
  9. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    Thanks so much! I will most likely try to do this either tomorrow or Thursday. I will keep you guys posted.
  10. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    It seems like your suggestion is better and easier. Do you know the size of the washers you used? Definitely backing out the slave would help alot.Edit: You mentioned an inch of washers. I missed that thanks!Before you did the washers, was your clutch slipping at all?
  11. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    Oh ok good point. Any pointers on making one of these? I think that definitely makes sense because when I had my clutch adjusted for engagement to be really low, it actually held WOT pulls. The moment I started raising the engagement point is when it started slipping worst.
  12. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    How did the clutch pedal stopper help the situation? Can you elaborate please? Also, it doesn't seem like my clutch is dragging. I put it in gear and with the clutch depressed hit 7k and the car did not move.
  13. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    Yea I might have to. I am not looking forward to pulling my transmission in my driveway haha.
  14. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    It is a Fidanza 4.3 clutch kit with a Fidanza flywheel. They were brand new along with the fork and pivot ball being new. The clutch itself has about 10-15k miles most likely. The car with this clutch has seen only like 15 WOT pulls because it was never ready to be tuned the past year until now...
  15. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    Yea I have been reading up on that and realized this. I did the clutch a little while ago, and it was my first venture into a transmission. Could this cause me to slip? Is there a way I could "fix this" without dropping the tranny?
  16. Pivot Ball over shimmed

    I am having an issue with my clutch fork being too far over to the driver's side. I did the clutch about 1.5 years ago and it was never really ran WOT because of lack of tuning. Finally, I was able to do some WOT tuning and my clutch is slipping at full boost. I do not remember if we added any...
  17. Clutch Fork too far right

    Ok thanks for clearing that up. I have a question though. I know I can adjust the rod in the car to make the slave push the clutch fork more towards the passenger side when the clutch is depressed. However, when I am making a WOT pull, will having the clutch fork that far towards the driver's...
  18. Clutch Fork too far right

    I think I have memorized that RRE website after reading it so many times haha. Thanks for the response. As far as adjusting, will adjusting the clutch rod under the dash, also cause the rod on the slave to move? Which way should I move the rod inside the car for the rod on the slave to move outward?
  19. Clutch Fork too far right

    So I have been battling a clutch slipping issue for some time. I had a badly adjusted clutch for a couple months where the engagement point was way too high up. The clutch set up, along with the clutch fork and pivot ball were all replaced at the same time, most likely 10-15k miles ago. The car...
  20. Stuck turn signal

    By switch do you mean the entire turn signal assembly (like the lever and everything) or is there an actual switch?
  21. Stuck turn signal

    Thanks for the help! I saw a couple new turn signal switches online for under 40 bucks.
  22. Stuck turn signal

    Ok now working on problem number 1,235,543. Now my right turn signal is stuck blinking. I took the whole turn signal assembly apart and found nothing broken at all. The weird thing was that I had the entire assembly apart (so the turn signal lever was completely apart). With everything apart, I...
  23. Broken Quaife?

    I had another question. So the last couple of weeks I have been driving with mismatched tires in the front. I blew a tire and bought a used tire until winter arrived. The used tire is the same size but it had about half the tread of my other front tire and was a different brand. Would these...
  24. Broken Quaife?

    Yea it seems like the clutch might be the culprit. The funny thing is that I have no issues with engagement or shifting at all. Any way to test it?The car does not rev up when floored. When you hit full boost it barely continues to rev.Went out tonight and drove it around and I kind of...
  25. Broken Quaife?

    I did the lifting of one wheel on each side and it checked out good. Looks like my issue might be somewhere else. My mechanic suggested the clutch disc but this clutch is about a year old and has not been beat on.However I was hearing a hissing or brushing sound when engaging. Could thos be a...
  26. Broken Quaife?

    It has been on the car for two years. Yea I heard they are near bullet proof so I am hoping I have a cheaper thing wrong. Are there other things I should look at before opening the tranny? The symptoms are:1. Under wot at full boost the car seems to just hop really badly and not want to go...
  27. Broken Quaife?

    Hey guy, I am wondering if anyone knows the phon number to call for quaife lsd warranty fufillment. M car has been exhibiting some symptoms that the front diff might be toast. This only happens at full boost b the car at about 12psi is roasting the driver side tire only. It hops really badly the...
  28. 3000gt Seats

    Yea I was wondering how much "fabbing" I would actually encounter. And yea I will ###### have to see them and mock them first I don't need to buy seats so they can end up my video game chairs haha.
  29. 3000gt Seats

    H I had a quick question. Someone I know is selling some 3000gt seats and they look great. How difficult are these to bolt into a 2g? Would I be able to just take the rails from my stock seats and put them on the 3000gt seats? Thanks for the help!
  30. ECMlink Tuning Help...Pump and 10:1

    Yea I haven't donme a WOT pull yet because I have been dealing with an oil return issue. I switched back because there are 2 e85 stations in Boston and only one will sell to me lol. It is just more convenient for me I guess. I will still fill with e85 from time to time but this car has never...
  31. PCV Removal (substantial searching)

    Wow that's ingenius lol. I might try that idea of hooking it up to an exhaust part. I guess it would help even more.
  32. PCV Removal (substantial searching)

    Ok sounds good. My question is (please excuse me if it is dumb lol), if I had both lines to the catch can and one line to the intake, would't the barb, which used to be the pcv, draw vaccuum from the catch can? While drawing vaccum, is it possible that the barb can suck in some bad fumes among...
  33. PCV Removal (substantial searching)

    Yea thanks for the link. I read through that entire thread and that is where I came up with this idea. Essentially during boost the vaccuum created by the intake pipe from the turbo would "suck out" even more crankcase pressure than just having it vent to the atmoshpere. I can always just place...
  34. PCV Removal (substantial searching)

    Haha no problem. That is exactly what I am trying to stop from happening lol.
  35. PCV Removal (substantial searching)

    So after reading and searching for a good hour, I have a couple questions about removing my pcv valve. I currently have a closed greddy catch can. The catch can has two line, one that is connected to the side port on the valve cover and the other is just venting to the atmosphere. I now want to...
  36. Broken bolt exhaust housing

    Thanks for the help and suggestions.Random question: So when I turn the car on, I see around 100-105 psi of oil pressure (at the ofh), yet I have no leaks or "back up" from my oil return line. However, when I drive the car and see at most 65-70 psi of oil pressure, it does leak. How can it...
  37. Wh1e oil return flange

    I actually got it to fit already. I know the bolt pattern is the same but I mean the opening where the oil comes out of. In the pictre the opening is square (like on my turbo) but on hx40's the opening is round. The flange also has a round opening. Will my square opeining not work with a flange...
  38. Wh1e oil return flange

    So I have one final question before I finish building my -12an return line setup for my Wh1e. So most holset users are using the flange from Racepartsolutions.com that is labeled as their "T6" flange which is for a 3/4" npt. However the opening on that flange is round. Most holsets have round...
  39. Broken bolt exhaust housing

    Quick question guys and gals. I snapped a bolt inside my BEP exhaust housing for my hx40. It was one of the bolts near the exhaust wheel. I think it is one of 6. My question is can I run the car like this or will it leak oil/air through the broken bolt?
  40. ECMlink Tuning Help...Pump and 10:1

    Hey guys, so I have decided to venture out into the land of pump gas (93 octane) and 10:1 compression ratio OMG. So I haven't tuned too much in my life and my car was actually mostly tuned by a friend of mine when on e85. Well he has been MIA so it's time for me to learn this tuning thing. I...
  41. 10:1 and pump gas, lb/min numbers

    Hey guys, so I did something different this past weekend with my car. As most of you know I have 10:1 compression ratio Ross pistons and I normally run E85. However, this weekend decided to throw some 93 in the tank for two reasons. First, I wanted to clean out the gunk that might be on my...
  42. Garrett & Holset Turbo Users - Your Oil Drain May Be Too Small!

    So I am building a -12an return line and I have a question about the fitting I will be welding to the oil pan and the male to female adapter fitting from the turbo flange. I see that everyone uses a flared end. Is there a reason why? I found some that are not flare on one end but instead the...
  43. White smoke under boost...different

    I think I might have found the culprit. I measured my return line and the fitting is actually a -8an not a -10an like i thought. I think the oil drain is too small and its causing the smoke since the oil can not flow fast enough through it. I am going to build a bigger line and try it out. Wish...
  44. evo 8 exhaust manifold...will it fit

    Yea it won't fit. You will probably catch a lot of crap for asking that here. But I understand you, its better to ask and get an answer than to stay quiet. I think the evo8 manifolds are twin scrolled anyway so it would not match up. Also, I think you would have other compatibility issues such...
  45. White smoke under boost...different

    So I am ruling the turbo out as the smoking problem. I went on a couple WOT runs and after smoking on decel there was no oil at all at either side of the turbo outlets. I am starting to get scared. I am trying to figure this smoking problem and I'm stumped. I am going to redo a compression test...
  46. White smoke under boost...different

    I am 99% sure it is oil. Is it normal though for the oil in the exhaust to be burning off only after a WOT pull? Shouldn;t it be constantly smoking if this was the case? I don't want to hear that this newly rebuilt turbo is also blown. Or that I just bought a new turbo for nothing lol! I'm...
  47. White smoke under boost...different

    Yea I know that. But its been said that when there is oil in your exhaust it usually comes out a whiteish gray, especially fi you run synthetic oil.
  48. White smoke under boost...different

    So I replaced the turbo with a rebuilt H1E. Also added a restrictor to the oil feed. And it still smokes. I expect it to smoke after the install because of all th eoil in the exhaust. However, wouldn't it smoke all the time if the excess oil was getting burned off. Because the smoking problem...
  49. Garrett & Holset Turbo Users - Your Oil Drain May Be Too Small!

    Oh ok. Yea I don't have a problem welding the new one to the pan. It is just that right now I am running a -10an braided line on this return line so I wanted to see what I could retain.
  50. Garrett & Holset Turbo Users - Your Oil Drain May Be Too Small!

    Can you point out where I can get the 3/4" NPT adapter fitting? So would it be bad if that adapter fitting tapered down to a -10AN fitting?
