I have had a bunch of issues in the last 10 months culminating this week such that I will be selling all my 240SX related stuff. I will be out of town for at least a week and don't have time before hand to post pictures and generate a full list, but wanted to give a heads up for what will be...

How do you replace the inner boot on the shifter? Is the upper mass adding piece of the shifter pressed on and off?

D.8.c. No part of the car, except for the exhaust system and suspension components, shall be lower than the lowest part of the wheel rims. I read this to mean that chasis rails can not be lower than the lowest part of the wheel rims. I had not made the connection that this could pose an...

The ITA car I purchased came with one of those bundle of snake headers and a three inch exhaust. The exhaust currently looks like it very well could have been on the car when Bob Stretch last owned it in 1997. I am not sure the bundle of snakes is worth all the hassle (steering linkage wore...

Some recent discussions and resulting research, has left me very concerned about whether or not club racing or tech are really prepared to set rules requiring "safer" safety equipment. More than ever before the effectiveness of safety equipment is extremely reliant on proper installation and...

It has always surprised me that the DE was up classed entirely. I guess my view on the OEM 15HP difference even if widened to a 20HP difference in IT full build is that the full class up wasn't justified. One explanation given to me was that at the time of classing DOHC was considered so high...

I know the pro is a misnomer (isn't improved also? ;) ) but hey is it the class title or the class racing we care about? http://www.nasaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=45021#45021

With what I think will at the end of 2006 will be seen as benefitting competition among IT models there were a lot of weight reductions. There were also a lot of discussion about ability to make weight. It's not clear to me why polycarbonate window replacements are not within the IT scope...

I see this approximate comment alot regarding rule changes or interpretations: ~ We don't want to creep towards becoming production. ~ And I have to say in the context it is frequently used in (sometimes for any change in the rules at all) I really think it is misused or I simply have no idea...

OK in the spirit of airing pet peeves. I assume everyone agrees that short shifters are illegal. Not only do I never hear of them being protested, I see them blatantly listed as modifications to X car for sale with Y wins and Z championships. So what is up with that? I could so use a B&M but...

Stripping a 240SX S13 notchback. Is the trim around the bottom and back edge of the fixed side windows integrated with the pane installation and comes off with the pane or is it separate and can I work it off prior to pane removal?

Based on part of the discussion regarding the NASA 2006 Nationals and the lack of competitive events in the NE region, I was talking with Joe Lee the NASA regional director. They would love to see some SCCA racers out there whether for seat time or to instruct. Keep in mind this is LRP and...
