    Stuck Upper Balljoint

    Very good simple advice. Wish I would've thought of that in the heat of the moment. The threads will be fine. If there was any damage it was on the end of the stud, and I remember there was a good bit of stud hanging out past the nut. So I may just have to "modify" the stud a bit :biglaugh:

    Stuck Upper Balljoint

    I tried everything. I air-chiseled them sideways and hammered them sideways. The only thing that got them free was a full force 3lb. hammer blow straight to the stud. I wouldn't doubt that works in some cases though.^

    Stuck Upper Balljoint

    I've got Bilstein shocks and perches with some unknown springs. They're the only part of the car that I'm really happy with. I took the lower bolt out also.

    Stuck Upper Balljoint

    I took all the brake equipment off to clear out some room and used a 3 lb. hammer with extreme prejudice to knock both the driver's side ball joints out. Now whether I can massage the threads a bit and get the nuts back on them, only time will tell. It felt like I had just landed on the moon...

    Stuck Upper Balljoint

    Well here I sit with a stuck front upper balljoint. I'm working on my drivers side, trying to put some ES bushings on my arms. I've got the control arms propped up in a neutral postion, I've got a three arm puller maxed out of the stud, I've hit it the arm with an air chisel with a socket...

    supra pops on dyno

    My favorite part is when you see the dipstick dislodge, crazy. Do people have no common sense, head on top of the motor during a dyno run, especially after it just blew off a coupler?

    ksport or stance?

    Take it from someone who has purchased K-Sports. I bought K-Sports for my 2004 Sentra SE-R Spec V back before I learned not to heavily mod and race your daily driver. The K-Sports were the new hotness in the SE-R world and everyone was grabbing them up. The rear shocks (and probably most of...

    MKIV wheels?

    If they are the wide Turbo wheels, I would think they'd be worth a bit more than $300... Just IMO, I would check around for recent comparable sales here and at other forums. Don't want you to get ripped off. I hope they are worth alot more anyway, I'm sitting on a set that I'm thinking about...

    Adjustable height from interior shocks

    For people browsing this thread looking for options, I would avoid K-Sport like the plague. I'm sure others would agree with me. The Air Force kit is looking pretty awesome though.

    ordering tires for my rims tonight!

    Why? He's on stock suspension, he should be fine. The wheels are gonna poke out a bit no matter what with +22, but I think he'll be fine. The only thing I can think of is he might get a tiny bit or rubbing at full lock on the fender liners, but I think it may clear.

    Is German Castrol really going the way of the dinosaur?

    I've never seen this deal, I'll have to go check it out. I just bought 7 quarts not too long ago :(

    can safc do 780cc injectors,

    I think he's referring to the way the fuel injector atomizes (is atomizes a real word?) the fuel into the incoming air. With a lower fuel pressure the fuel spray may not leave the injector as intended and may not mix with the air properly.

    First Car = BADASS

    Be safe, or you'll end up hurt and with a shitty car. I'm sure everyone has said this, but that's alot of car for someone with very little experience in how a car/traffic behaves. That being said, that is a badass first car. Keep it running well and dont cut corners man, almost everyone cuts...
