So you know all the answers but still 4 days later you never got off your backside and stripped the thing down?

Stop posting crap here and go do something - the obvious has been suggested here numerous times and all you do is sit and waste time while type stupid replies here

if theyre in right, the one side shouldnt be raised still

are you sure your rear strut towers arent rusted? i had surface rust, and redoing my suspension my mechanic had a horrible time. he got all of the rust out, but it was bad. if your trunk tire well is that bad, i would think theres more

i waited a few days to see if it would setle. and it did. that problem is solve. but i just put valve cover gaskets in to stop the leak. it did. i put a oil pan in, and put sealer on the rubber gasket, and it blew out in ten spots. and my filter broke. so it leaks oil 10 times worse and needs a filter bracket. would running no filter cause the car to stutter at idle and stall sometimes>? it did twice yesterday at stop lights after i pushed in the clutch

wtf? a dude here had a blue S13 for $400 that ran fine but needed bodywork, i can do bodywork myself so i pounced on it but someone beat me. literally like 80%+ of 240sx here are SR20 swapped though so they go for $3000ish, but stock with KA24 needing bodywork go cheap

theres a AE86 thats running for $300, i want it but i dont have room for a 2nd car right now

man i LOVE the Ksports, before with stock GXE springs when i gunned it on a turn from a stop my tires would screech, the car would tip to the other side and i would have to go in the outer lane because of the roll. now it stays perfectly planted and i can take turns fast without bodyroll or needing more road

everybody said a 3rd gen with a 2.2"/2" drop would ride like crap but it rides awesome, i just have to get the camber bolts and a alignment and im set. my tires are garbage anyways so i'll probably go next week

im just disappointed the import rule got bumped from 15 years to 25 now, i was planning on importing a Skyline myself in a few years but i guess not now, and the ones already imported are going to be more

the mechanic i go to is the same as JSmax on here, JS actually told me about him. he works on cars on the side from home, he knows everything. he rebuilt my engine and did all of my suspension work. both of us looked for Tokico or Koni struts, and nobody has any. he said KYB GR2 will work fine, so unless some Konis or the like come up im just going with the KYB's. i owe Jason a million for telling me about him because i wouldnt have gotten so much done without his mechanic

whats crappy though is my crankshaft is a bit wonky, i was hoping the pulley just needed tightening but its the whole crankshaft itself. its still good for long time yet, but im just going to stop getting the turbo parts and get a whole JDM VG30ET and drop it in

its crazy because youre destroying a car you dont want and are just going to use for school and want to get rid of, when you could have sold it in good shape to someone who wants a 3rd gen and just buy whatever else

my stock headlights suck infinitely, even after new bulbs a candle would give more light. then, i added my fogs and have a bit more light. honest to god the headlights dont do anything. so, if im going to have crappy headlights i may as well do it in style

however, the previous owner of the headlights did the 9007 or whatever bulb conversion on the headlights so i'll read up on that and maybe try them and see if theyre better
