Spindle is the assembly that mounts to the control arms. Hub is the part that has the flange where the brake rotor and wheel mount. Bearing is between these two parts (with the axle running through the center of the hub).

If one doesn't have the tools or money to buy said tools to diagnose... Take the part off and have it tested. Auto parts stores do it for free (I should know, I work at one).

You could pull the spindle and not throw the alignment off... as the adjustments are at the other ends of the arms. Even if you could pull the hub out with a slide hammer, how are you going to get it back in? Unless you're using a press, you're going to damage the bearings...

IIRC the pressure drop across the RX-7 cooler might not support full flow. Also, a water cooler oil cooler just changes the cooling load to the main cooling system instead of using the ambient air. They're awesome because they don't require another t-stat in the system, but they also have a...

Sky/Solstice uses an evolution of the R154 transmission, so it's not out of the question for the shifter to work. Also, there are better shifter bushings, and making the shifter "short" is worse for driving as it's farther from the steering wheel. Look at any supercar/racecar and you'll see...

Window regulator puts a higher load on the motor, which puts a higher load on the wiring, which puts a higher load on the switch... So long as the load is under the rating of the fuse, the fuse won't pop. Someone might have changed the fuse to a higher amp one because it was popping them, so...

Fix the high resistance? The switch is a symptom not a cause here...

Keep in mind the Turbo-A ran the oil cooler behind the crash bar and it had cutouts and a vent in front to get air to it :) Can also run the oil cooler on the sides where the fog lights go (if you have them removed).

Low cylinder 1 is probably overtorqued timing belt tensioner...

Que? They still make them...look harder.

They're not going to dim nearly as well as it's not the proper way to dim LEDs (which is PWM, and there's ways to retrofit it)

Those are NOT projectors. - You're not going to get projector headlights for less than a couple hundred dollars at min. Proper retrofit done by someone else is $500+ (usual going rate for the bigger guys is over a grand) - By halos, you mean the round "halo" that is used as a daytime running...

Can't think of a single engine with them being pressure lubricated. Again though, it's pointless as you should be running a multiplate/powerglide to handle power levels that high. Also, you might want to read the oil section of the forums...

Also looking at your build thread, you have the oil cooler between the radiator and intercooler. Could be blocking flow there. Also looks like you have a stock intercooler (forgot what power you're running or boost levels, but that might be an issue here too).

Nope, though some of their black ones are impregnated with graphite for better lubrication (not that I believe that).

YES! Only issue is that they aren't great on gas mileage. On the highway they desperately need another gear or two to get the RPM's down for cruising. Parts are pretty cheap, and they're quite reliable. Not great on moving a lot of stuff, and not terribly comfy (compared to a Supra).

240SX = pay the drifter tax for a crappier car. I'm kind of in this situation myself right now and the 240SX hasn't come to mind at all simply because of their crazy buy in price and the ones on the market for cheap are abused to within an inch of their life.

On a track, where you're spending lots of time at high RPM.... You're probably cavitating the water pump and not getting the flow you need. Paging IJ...

Nice thing about turbos though, the car can have that much power and be completely streetable and well mannered. Crazy tuned N/A's aren't known to be pleasant to drive :)

It's ironic since most of the people pushing that kind of power are smart enough to go with a multiplate setup. It's easier to hit those numbers on a 2J and there are single plates made for those cars that can handle the load (supposedly). Just because there are more cases, doesn't make it...
