So I recently bought an old KA24E-powered race truck and I'm hoping you guys might help me fill in some blanks in regards to KA24E engine tech. Long story short, this truck has a mid-mounted single slammer that originally would have had somewhere in the neighborhood of 300whp. Pretty radical engine, however, the engine that's in the truck now is not believed to be the raced engine. The last person who worked on this before I bought it tells me the intake ports between the head and manifold DO NOT match, and it's causing a pretty drastic vacuum leak. Between all of the different KA-E vehicles (Stanza, S13, Hardbody) is anyone aware of a difference between the intake port shape on the cylinder heads? I'm a little ahead of myself and planning to yank the engine to build, but wanting to figure out as much as I can before I tear it down. Side note, does anyone recognize this transmission? It's a 4-speed that I'm pretty unfamiliar with. A few oics for tribute.

The fact that this thread is so partisan is, and isn't, surprising. Both sides suck, both sides have been protecting pedophiles in the Epstein case, and Israel, for some reason, keeps getting more and more of our money regardless of who's in power. Meanwhile, the American experience has been diluted, our food is being poisoned, and we've been sold out to mindless, soulless corporations.

While we're on the topic of reasons we don't trust the government, give this a watch. If you're familiar with history, it's easy to find reasons why you should be skeptical of the federal government and the letter agency. Then shit like this happens, and you have to wonder...is the story we're told to believe the truth, or even close to reality? Operation Northwoods: 1960's false flag operation that was presented by the CIA that involved proposed attacks of terrorism on US soil, shooting down of commercial airliners, etc etc to gain public support of a land invasion of Cuba. If they were willing to do that in the 1960's, how likely is it that the contents of this video actually prove that the feds were involved in the Vegas shooting?

Damn man, not the dr. I hadn't really been around in a while (you know how life takes you different directions) but I'll never forget my Ratsun peeps. He was a cool dude and didn't deserve go out like this. RIP buddy.

lmao that's epic. We have a large format printer at work that came in on a pallet and had to be assembled in the room that it's in.

You can put it in my house. I'll make room for it.

The window lickers in Atlanta are back at it again. Some ding-dong's decided it would be fun to shoot fireworks off of the roof of a building and burned down a massive apartment complex. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/massive-apartment-building-fire-in-lavista-park-burns-more-than-8-hours

Funny you mention that, that's exactly what I'm doing haha It was amazing. Took us about 9 hours to complete because of all the stops. Also did the trans-canada highway. Did not see a single person with colorful hair, I don't understand the name.

As strange as it sounds, FCP Euro's process is legit and they do take it back. It works on more than oil, but for Datsun's that's all any of us would ever buy. As far as Motul, it's about all I run in anything anymore. It's fantastic oil.

Went to Jasper/Banff CA in September. Didn't see a single Datsun, but saw plenty of cool trees and colorful waters. DSC00302.jpg by Matt Yates, on Flickr DSC00352.jpg by Matt Yates, on Flickr DSC00359.jpg by Matt Yates, on Flickr DSC01439.jpg by Matt Yates, on Flickr

I was honestly going to try and snag this one if it still had an L in it. The powertrain was the only thing that held me back. Might just go get my old truck back at this point.

In the case of firearms, they aren't any more accessible now than they were in the past 50 years. We had gun stores then, we have them now. Our culture, however, has changed astronomically and we're unwilling as a society to discuss how our culture surrounding mental health is affecting us. Facing this would mean admitting that we have to make uncomfortable changes to how we approach vanity, popular culture, movies, games, etc. Situations like the one that occurred recently are a prime example of why passing more gun laws doesn't work.
