My shaft and knuckle are indexed together. There is no way I can move the shaft one tooth to align the steering wheel back up. The scribe line I put on lines up. So I don't know what happen at the moment.

i don't know how yours is different. mine was a tooth off and i just re-aligned it and then it was dead on center again.

i see in your location you're in south west PA like me. where in SW PA are you from?

I'm in Brownsville. A Mon River Rat. Where are you at?

If you enlarge the picture. You can see the index spline on the shaft. This mates with the one inside the knuckle.

I'm like 13 miles NW of Pittsburgh town called ambridge. i know Brownsville. i went to college down in Waynesburg and my sister is at Cal now.

as for the steering issue i looked at the pic and honestly i cant remember exactly how mine looked when i did it since it was awhile ago. when i do my oil change soon I'll see if i can see a difference and take a pic while it's on the lift.

I know where Ambridge is at. Had an uncle that lived there for awhile. Cal. U is about 4 miles from me.

That would be helpful with the pic next time. :tiphat:

probably in the next week or 2 weeks i'll be doing my spring services on the Z (oil, brakes, etc) on the lift so i'll snag a pic then. plus i wanna get some pics of the test pipes and CBE after i got 3000 miles on it now.

also if your interested i got a invite for Sunday April 22 there's a dust off VW/Import event at some place in Southpointe. food, cars, beer, cruise too i guess. think it's called Jay's sports bar. i got the invite on Facebook last week. looks like its gonna be pretty big. already 100 people saying they are going.

Jay's Sports Bar. That's at the Iceoplex. That's not to far from the GF's place. Bad part about it. I have to work night shift that day. Fudge! I'll see if I can sneek over to it. ;)

haha well if you do I'm sure I'll be there at some point. its 12-8 i believe. $5 for all u can eat and there's beer specials all day i think. i'm tryin to gather up a few peopel from up here to go with me. my one boy has a 350 and another has a brand new genesis he's been wanting to take out and show off lol he's still pissed he isn't as fast as me. :driving:

Time for another up-date. :)

My rims came in yesterday. Got tires mounted on them this morning. The lug nuts just showed up at the door. So I'm going to put the rims and tires on tomorrow morning. Here is a few pic's to hold you guys over. :)

Very nice! Love those tires :)

my Michelin PSS's just arrived today too :tup:

i mean mine aren't 12 wide in the rear but they get the job done lol

Can't wait to see them on the car!

I'll take some pic's when I get a chance. :pics:

OK, pic's of the ForgeLine rims with Mich PSS's on the. :D

w00t! That looks fantastic!

Idk I really love the stock Nismo wheels.

Sweet ride. I just skimmed through but you didn't waste any time tearing into that thing huh. Taking a page out of my book I see, screw the warranty :driving:

You're not gonna race it are you? After all that work it's only right :stirthepot:

Warranty? What warranty? LMAO Might do a track day or three. Between new GF, Moab, Rausch Creek, and track days with the RC. I don't have much time for anytime else. :eek:

I hear you. You'll just need to quit wasting your days at work so you have time to go to the track :)

5yrs, 11 months I'm done. :D I'll have all the free time I want then. :D

nice work. thanks for sharing

congrats :tup:

Thanks guys. Not done yet with it. :D

I have enough time with the company right now that I could go. But I want to get my 401K a little higher, that and I got to make sure I keep the new GF happy. :yum:

Got my WeatherTech floor mats. :tup:

Also got the Nismo RC brake ducts for the front bumper. :tup: Now I have to figure out how to go from a 4" opening to a 2" hose that is on the Stillen kit.

Sweeeet! Those things are expensive!

Pretty cool, I want to see these installed.

You can't just open up the ports on the stillen kit to 4", or there must be backing plates to go with the intake vents?

Or what about these
Amazon.com: Dust Collection 4" to 2" Reducer By Peachtree Woodworking - PW474: Home Improvement
It's not pretty but it should get the job done

Hi crash. LOL I've already looked into those reducers. I got to wait for my credit card to cool off some before buying anything else. After going to Moab and Rausch Creek this year with the Power Wagon. And buying 4 Bilstein 7100 Carli valved shocks for the Power Wagon. You know my credit card is smokin". :eek:

Wish you still had the Power Wagon. You missed a good time at Rausch Creek! http://forum.powerwagonregistry.org/....php?f=12&t=13

I missed it huh. I was gonna go, Eric was supposed to keep me in the loop and I was gonna meet you guys there. :ugh2:
Oh well I think I was in Thailand anyway. That reminds me though, I can't seem to log in at the power wagon registry anymore either, do I need to sign up a new account?

We got a new forum. It's the link I posted about Rausch Creek. Leif is the head nut there. LOL Most of us got kicked off of Dodgetalk by Ram3500dually. :eek: No PM, e-mail or any type of notice. :confused: Just can't log on anymore. So I spend more time here now. :tup:

Yeah I knew about that, I had talked to him about it when he was thinking about starting it. I didn't know he jumped right into it though, then when I saw it was already running I couldn't log in :confused:
I just started a new account yesterday though so I guess that's what I needed to do, haven't posted though

Did you have a chance it have your nismo RC ducts installed, i'd love to see pics?

Not yet. Waiting for a few others things. Then do all at one time. ;)

I hear ya, knock them out all at once.

Did a dyno run today. This is with the FI LTH's, 12" resonators, and CBE, Stillen G3 CAI. Thought I would get more out of it. But.............it sounds good. :tup: Corr. HP 294, and Corr. Torque 234. I need a tune. A/F Bounced all over the place. Picked up 12HP and 4lbs of torque.

Click on picture for video. ;)

Here's the dyno sheet. ;)

Got my 4" to 2" reducers for my brake ducts. This is what I needed to adapt the 4" Nismo ducts the the 2" hose that is in the Stillen brake cooling kit. Which should be here tomorrow. I have to machine down alittle OD on the 4" side of the reducer so that it slides into the brake duct, shortening the overall length.

My ZSpeed Aluminum Under Pan Diffuser came in too. I'll install it when I do my brake duct install. I like to do everything at once. :D

what a beautiful Z!

Mind explaining to me what the purpose/benefits would be for installing that oil pan spacer?

Thank you!

The spacer is for more oil. It's a little over an extra quart. As these motors run hot to begin with.
