OMG THE STEERING WHEEL IS ON THE WRONG SIDE!!!

Yep, it still messes with my head seeing s13 interiors the other way around! :)

You'll find a lot of people who are fans of the RB20 here, I'm not one of them, (nicely sorted out engine build by the way) but they're here anyway if you need help. While you might consider it unfair not being able to easily get SR20 bits, I also think it's grossly unfair how easy it is for you guys to get guns and how damn hard and expensive it is to get them here! :D

nah the sr20 parts are very easy to find, the engines are everywhere now. its abit harder to find a stock, non-swapped 240sx" than a 240sx with an sr. its the rb20(specifically) thats hard to find parts for. but I got what your saying, lol.

actually 2 thirds of the world drive on the right... we're the minority. Also mass motor transport came about in 1900's, many years after they gained independence in the 1770's. And the first dude to make a car was european (french or german... can't remember), so they'd have driven on the right anyways >_<

don't give me answers on topic!

but if you go back to the origins of it it goes back to roman times when they drove their charriots on the left so the the wip wasn't on the street side (since most people were right handed and carried their wip in their right hand). then when napolean came along he just made it however he wanted but he never got as far as england so they stayed the way they were.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
