I ordered a Ground Control kit over the phone on Monday; he said everything was in stock, it should be heading out tomorrow, perhaps Wednesday. I should check the email invoice after the call, and that I will be charged for the payment once it ships.

I called back the next day because I hadn't received the email invoice. He sent it again and I got it instantly. The package should ship soon.

It's been five days since I placed the order. I haven't been charged or notified of shipment. Crickets. What the fuck.

I'll join you next month Charlie

:/ last time I ordered from ground control the stuff arrived like next day or 2. They're not far from here. I'd call again, their customer service is quite good in my experience. Looking forward to having you join soon!

anyone know how to change fuel injectors??? I need to replace them like this weekend. I can drive the car wherever as long as it gets done this weekend.

First depressurize the system: remove the fuse for the fuel pump, then start the car (it will die immediately). Then proceed to removing bolts/hoses CAREFULLY. Catch spilled fuel with rags and water them down after, and don't dent the rail if you have to use leverage to pop the rail up. I don't remember what was more of a pain in the butt; separating the injectors from the manifold, or separating the injectors from the rail. When you reinstall, I remember lubing the injector-to-manifold o-ring with motor oil, so they slip in easier.

Theres about 5 ten mm bolts that hold on to the fuel rail under the intake manifold,

Hmm, I remember only 4 bolts.

Have you ever gotten excited when you think you see an early model way up in the distance only to find out it's a Nissan Sentra? LOL

Never been excited about diving boards or Sentras.

I don't know the name of the place, but it is right next to LSD Motorsports in Cypress. My buddy got his Evo detailed there and he did a really good job on it. Idk if he's done E30s, but I see E30s from time to time in the parking lot.

What do you guys think is the estimated time needed to do a clutch job on an M20/260? I have a friend, access to air tools and a lift, but paying hourly for it.
My exhaust comes off in literally a minute (2 v-bands).

[reelizmpro]

All the right tools including the long extensions to get the top tranny bolts off? Engine lift/support brace? With all the above, it shouldn't take more than 2 hours. Only replacing the clutch kit?

Yeah, literally every tool you can think of. It's a business where you pay hourly to use their 8 lifts and tools with staff on hand to help, but not touch.
I should do my motor mounts while I'm at it - one is melted, thanks for mentioning the support brace.
Any tips before I jump in? Trying to think of other "while you're in there" maint. to get done. Yes, just the clutch kit (a new Spec 3+).

[reelizmpro]

Flywheel, slave cylinder, lines, trans fluid, rear main seal, shifter/linkage, guibo, driveshaft engine and trans mounts.

Linkage is deleted and all that is <1.5 years old including the driveshaft

Buying the rear main seal now though. Thanks Barry!

I'm interested to hear how you like this. 8-)

I'll let you know. Even though it holds around 90 more ft/lbs of torque, they're saying it's more streetable than a standard Spec 3.
Hope that's the case lol.

Going straight to the dyno as soon as it's broken in.
