Don't know how to remove it, but you should be careful, it's probably connected to the airbag sensor!

I just posted a question about changing the seals in a water pump. What's your take buddy (was it difficult and do you have any advice for me being a beginner in car DIY projects)? What prompted you to change the water pump, thermostat?

google "certifit, arizona" and call them up. I got a prime black fender and hood from them but forgot how much I paid. When it comes to the quality of it, I noticed that it is a more dense steel and bends much less than the factory fender I have on the other side.

Noticed there is a good amount of coolant leaking from the water inlet area on my '93 ES. I'm thinkin it is a problem with the water pump seals. Any advice on whether or not this is a simple task to DIY. My bro and I have some decent knowledge of cars but have never really dealt with anything with the water pump or its seals. Any shared tips to accessing the water pump would be nice. Noticed that the water pump is attached to timing belt which kinda worries me. Any inputs or advice would be greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with this car so if you've dealt with this, please help.

oh snap son. lol, you really do have a windom. funny. you like it? well congrats, and good luck

ok, so ive decided just to stay with brembo blanks now. but on autopartswarehouse.com it shows 3 1. 49.22 2. 49.95 (rear rotor?) 3. 38.95 which one should i order exactly? i would also like to get rears as well. tia

where did everyone buy their rotors from? im searching for c/s preferably, because i think it looks better, iknow iknow, cracking/warping problems. but i do not drive crazy enough for hard braking. so far i havent seemed to find any great prices for our es' charley

goodluck with bushings, because if they are anything similar to my 240 there a bi!@#. and to do it yourself is quite timely just because you need to get a hold of a press or a shop with a press. and for those places to do labor is quite expensive. and i dont know if you can even just buy the bushings themselves, because there isnt too much of an aftermarket tuner crowd for our cars so there will probably be just whole arms with bushings from the dealers. because 240sx' you can just buy bushing themselves from other places and save the money instead of buying a whole brand new arm which is still fine. if anyone knows of a bushings dealer for our es's please feel free to chime in. one spot that might come to me would be whiteline. Goodluck

yeah no doubt it is an awesome car, because my mom has a 97. but it is really really expensive to fix. she bought it at 40k miles. since then, the radiator outlet hose pops off when ac is on and gas is consumed heavily. interior b-pillar tabs broke and will be somewhat expensive to fix. cup holder only held 1 12oz water and cupholder broke off. cat converter is ruined and needs to be replaced because it makes a whining noise. computer always sounds like it is on even when the car is shut off. trunk struts are ruined and the trunk is very heavy and has fallen on many peoples heads already. and now the power steering pump is leaking. and all this crap is expensive to fix, but actually driving it is worth a million. goodluck

i believe toyota is still running a monthly special ending this month. 250 for the timing belt replacement. and since ur at it, might as well buy the other belts and have them replace that as well. so tomorrow im looking at about low 300's for the belts to be replaced. not bad. Charley

ok, where would i be able to purchase a set for my 97? i saw on ebay and thats all that are sold are for the 92-96, would these be a direct bolt on, or require some modification, or just flat out wont work?

hey there, i am currently in the market for a set of coilovers where there is adjustablity in height and dampening with front camber plates. so far the only sets are from jicmagic. top quality stuff, but are there any other companies out there? as of now im thinking the jic sf-1's, anyone with these would like to offer some input would be greatly appreciated. i do plan on dumping my car but not with the wheels tucked, but flush with the fender. TIA Charley

its the same im pretty sure. at least they look identical

k since i cant get the fsm to work still i am needing to know how to remove the passenger axle from the rear mount bracket? do i simply unbolt the 5/6 bolts from differential? or what. i have removed the bolt under the rear mount bracket, but dont know where to go from here. from there i can try to press out the mount myself(doubtful) or take it to get pressed out. btw, is there a certain way that the mount goes in?

it is a 97, but where do i dl fsm at? bcus the sticky up top i cant unzip it bcus it says unknown compression method?
