Installed new rear 240sx emblem, and replaced both washer nozzles on the hood. I s*** bricks when my local nissan dealer told me they had them in stock!

.....these things are supposed to have emblems?

Mine just says 240 on the quarter windows and garnish, and has a hamburger on the front. I did scrape off wrinkled foil "nissan" and "se" stickers on the hatch, a while back.

Coupes and verts have a sticker emblem on the rear between the tails. I replaced mine with a silvia emblem

drilled holes between the inner and outer rings of my (torn) power window drive bushing, and perminantly installed a nail through said holes.

Epoxy tore, gorilla glue tore, and I was not about to spend 130 bucks for a "remanufactured" one, that might not even have a new bushing.

Well, I cut my ebay muffler off and welded a straight pipe where the muffler was (sounds like a box 4 when driving normal, but sounds better then the dang ebay muffler), getting rid of the cut and heated springs that the previous owner did :tisk: and replace them with Eibach Spring tomrrow after work.

Not really to, but certainly for my 240 - managed to get some work done to the RB today :woot: AND, I happened to notice that the oem oil pump I ordered and received, was upon later inspection, an N-1 oil pump. Upgrade! Today I got the new oil pump and timing parts on, as well as the valve covers, and reassembled the intake mani. Progress!

If you didn't send it back, you could probably braze it. Braze is win. You can join totally different metals.

You need a torch though.

I wouldn't trust brazing on a turbo piping application. That's just me.
