    Limited seat swap from 4th gen fail - side airbag deployed

    That's hilarious. I'm also kind of surprised you got the seats and airbags for that cheap - aren't airbags expensive? Did it blow up in a way that you think would have any safety benefit? Like if you somehow wired it up to the 3rd gen airbag system, do you think it would be beneficial in a...

    Missfire cyl 5 and 2

    I had a spark plug boot that was grounding to the block and inhibiting spark, giving me a misfire. I think spark has to be your issue. 5 and 2 are connected. Your compression check looked okay. You already addressed fuel delivery. I don't see how timing or oxygen could affect those cylinders only.

    Missfire cyl 5 and 2

    Def the coil. Swap two of them to see if the problem changes. Or just get a replacement - used or new would be ok

    Replaced antenna - now radio static when truck is running

    I put in a new antenna and ran the wires the same way the old ones were. My reception is perfect until i start the truck. While its running its all staticy. I see theres a bunch of wires and computer chips and shit under the dash there, which I assume is my problem.... but thats the same place...

    I just have to ask... uca/lca......

    The cam bolts adjust camber right? If new UCAs have camber adjustment, why wouldn't new UCAs work? Maybe its so far out that the UCA can't bring it in spec at full adjustment - but OP never mentioned how far out it is?

    Rear O2 Rusted Off

    I think a run of the mill muffler shop can fix that with some squinty-eyed welding

    Upper ball joint (Help!)

    did you remove that super long bolt that holds the arm on? That would allow the knuckle to move and give you more room for the puller. Or heat it up and use the pickle fork more.

    Final Thoughts on Manual Swap

    Was the only difference between the 3.0 R150F and the 3.4 R150F the bellhousing? Could you have just swapped in a 3.4 bellhousing? Just curious

    I'm stuck finding a stereo. Please Advise.

    I'd suggest going to your local car audio store and seeing what they have. The local stores are always hungry for business and have great insight (although they probly cant match amazon prices)

    Spark plug blew out - helicoil?

    I put the time-sert in tonight. Took like an hour. Drove 10 miles, so far so good. The time-sert tap was a step tap - the tip was the standard 14 x 1.25 to thread into the old threads (whatever was left) and then the rest of the tap was the larger size. It made lining it up a breeze - just for...

    Spark plug blew out - helicoil?

    I ordered the time-cert. I can't find a bad review anywhere and I need to get this turd on the road by Monday morning. Or get my 240sx road-worthy....

    Spark plug blew out - helicoil?

    So yesterday the plug in the middle on the driver side (#4?) blew out. That plug has been in there 2+ years. I put a new one in and it drove fine for day. Today it blew out again and the threads won't catch on a new one. I bought a tap, covered it in grease and ran it through a couple times and...
