    Which FIA approved seat?

    Search doesn't bring anything up. But how do I know which seats meet the FIA spec that doesn't require a back brace? I vaguely remember somebody (Kirk?) posting a link to the actual FIA specification, but has anybody done research to determine, or will the seat dealers know, which seats meet...

    Homestead results?

    Just wondering if anyone stuck around longer than I did (about 6:15pm) to see if they issued Group 5 results. How else can I find out what the status is? I hate to bug people during this holiday week. Michael

    Tristan-240SX oil pan

    My email these days is [email protected] if you want to write directly. Only problem is I can't get to it reliably from my house, don't work in an office, so I have to find other places to log on; gives me an excuse to use my girlfriend's cable modem :-) FWIW, I can get to the forum...

    Oil system routing?

    I'm finally making the jump to a remote filter mount and a new oil cooler. Since I'm starting from scratch at this point, is there a preference on the routing order of the filter and cooler? Should it be "block>filter>cooler>block" (hot oil through filter)OR "block>cooler>filter>block"? I'm...

    Earl-radiators

    I bought one from Ron Davis, very good looking piece. It's not going in quite as easy as I'd hoped, because the cap is on the driver's side right where the hood prop rests. With all the "adjustments" from their stock radiator, the price was only a little bit cheaper than the Koyo. From what...

    240SX clutches and pressure plates

    Is anybody using one of those 4- or 6-puck clutch disks with an unsprung hub? Are they even legal? Are they worth it? Don't have my GCR, how "open" are these parts? Thanks, Michael

    Milling head vs new pistons-240SX

    Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the difference between milling the head (within the service limit of course) and installing the flat-top pistons. I have no idea what's involved with correcting the timing for a shaved head (at .001 or whatever, is it necessary?) Is there really a power...

    240: aluminum radiators, and rotors

    Is anyone running an aluminum radiator in their ITA 240 (SOHC-'89,'90)? I think I've got a line on a Koyo brand radiator. It's all aluminum, two-row, bolt-in OEM replacement. Does anyone else have recommendations? On the rotor front: what EXACTLY is the difference between "non-ABS" and "ABS"...

    KA24 only showing 30psi fuel

    Looks like that's our problem with not pulling the top gears. The cam timing was spot-on (boy am I lucky). Not sure which way to go about it at this point, but I'm thinking the pickup may be clogged. Gonna look into pump replacement/upgrades. Any ideas? Thanks, Michael

    New KA24 won't pull top gears

    FINALLY hit the test day at Sebring on Friday to break-in our new motor. Morning sessions were 4500RPM limit; ran fine, pulled easily, felt like there was plenty more. Afternoon sessions, bumping the revs up, my co-driver said he felt a surge mid-way through, and brought it straight in. Next...

    One more: kill switches?

    Is anyone willing to share clear descriptions of how to properly wire a kill switch to meet the requirements of the GCR? We've got one, and we've passed tech, but I just want to be sure we're doing it right. Thanks, Michael [email protected]

    ITA 240: exhaust and alignment??

    I could swear I've asked about exhausts before, but I couldn't find the old post. So here goes again: what's everybody running for exhausts/mufflers these days? We've got a Hotshot header (2-2.25" at collector??)into a 2.5" pipe from the collector rearwards. We just installed a Dynomax bullet...

    Labor cost for R&P install??

    What's reasonable labor time for installing a Quaife and 4.36 R&P, into my original open diff? I'm just talking labor here, not parts. I've had diff work done on my chevy live-axle before, and 3 hours was about what I was charged for diff work; not unreasonable for someone with experience to...

    SEARCH function and email addresses

    First of all, the SEARCH function of the board doesn't seem to be working. I can't even search for my own posts, let alone a topic that somebody else may have already started. Perhaps I have an incorrect setting? Second, how do we find out other people's email addresses? I thought part of the...

    240SX: ring & pinion, and gauges

    how many are running something other than stock ratio, 4.08? I decided to plunk down the money for a quaife, and I'm trying to decide whether to change the R&P while i'm in there. FWIW, I'm in SEDIV (Homestead, Moroso, Sebring, Daytona, Roebling, Rd. Atlanta, etc...) Also, what gauges are you...

    Differential upgrade-ITA 240

    How many have upgraded their diff to limited-slip? Which unit are you using and how much did installation cost? I got hold of an OEM VLSD diff from a J30, but I need to swap the guts into the original housing. Nobody wants to do the work for less than ~$350. I went through two diffs in my chevy...
