SPL FUCAs arrive tomorrow. :happydance: Rebuilt the foam for both side bolsters and one thigh bolster for my Sparco seat. Driver and passenger flooring is now soundproofed with CCF. Interior of Z is fully reinstalled. Just finished sanding the rust off a used pair of SPL rear camber arms that I'm installing this week as well.

Rust on SPL parts? The arms are aluminum. You must mean the adjuster parts. When you put them back together. Use anti-seize on all the threads. When the fuca's come. Take them apart and anti-seize the threads on them too. :tup:

The caster arms are the titanium alloy ones, not the billet. Rust at points where paint has worn through. And thank you sir! I have a bottle and gloves all ready to go.

Hate to break your bubble. They are not made from Ti. If they was. The price would be about one grand. Not $299. Ti does not rust. Why do think they use it for replacement parts in the human body.

This is from their website.
SPL Parts Camber Arms are constructed with 1.25" 4130 Chromoly tubing,

These companies are slick with their marketing! The Titanium series only adds Ti hardware, as Rusty pointed out:

Blue Anodized Titanium hardware shaves even more unsprung weight from the arms, without compromising strength.

I have another bubble you can burst. It's on my left *** cheek :icon23:

Getting back on point, Chromoly is steely steel. So it rusts.

Could never figure out why SPL would say Ti Series, when the only Ti is the bolts. :confused:

SPL still makes the best suspension parts.

That's for those who are quick to add to cart and purchase. FB groups filled with people that "bought the wrong part. just trying to get back what I spent."

Do yo' research!:ugh2:

You need better tools. Tools for the job. Like a sandblaster.

Ya know, that thought had occurred to me several times during this process... but I feel like the arms appreciate a good job done by hand. :wtf2:

Does anyone know the part number for this window door trim that is rubbery material. I need to replace both sides. Any places to buy and installation info will be appreciated.

Ian B

Sorry not sure why image is upside down when right side up in my gallery.


Can someone verify if these are them and if this is a good price for both?

Ian, on things like this always ask Cooltoy for help. If anyone know, more than likely he does. :tup:

West Covina Nissan's website has exploded diagram. It looks like it is in the K section and this might be the part number (driver's side):

768611EA0A

If you need the part that is on the roof, that will probably be in the J section of the diagram. :tiphat:

They didn’t have a whole lot of branding so I don’t even know. It was government paid.

I just cringed when the guy took a microfiber and started dry rubbing my paint looking for (and making) defects

The part number you give is for upper weather strip of door. I am looking for the strip that runs along the door where window comes up from inside door when you rolll it up.
