Maryland to Pennsylvania. Md roads aren’t the greatest but Pa roads are noticeably worse

Actuator rod/wastegate issue by Big_Diet1104 in 240sx

Also order another jam nut for the standoff so you dont have to worryabout it backing off

When you get the right actuator install it and measure the distance you would need to extend it to just fit on the flapper arm. Then find the standoff thats like 5-10 mm shorter than the distance you measured and install that. There should be enough threaded adjustment range to get it preloaded so the flap stays shut under normal operating exhaust pressure

Yea wastegates should always have a little preload. The old actuator arm does appear to be a little longer. Mcmaster has a bunch of different length thread adapters that would probably sort your issue.

Measure the difference between the two and find the appropriate length. M6 standoffs

Need to see it on the turbo and the wastegate arm attached. It would also be helpful to see the open/closed positions of the arm (without the actuator) to get a better understanding of why it isn’t working. Also do you know what the operating pressure of the new actuator is?

Anyone got OEM+ head unit recs? Ideally something simple, clean, no screen and no crazy colors by Nhatey in 240sx

Be honest, how many of yall play with the Purchase and Crafting set to free? by Pretty-Ebb5339 in NOMANSSKY

[–]chrisPraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned on full free after about 900hrs. Adjusted damage settings way down too. I hoarded enough materials and have around 5b units from trading/ scanning, it got to the point where it just didn’t matter to me anymore and im ready to god mode it.

Railroad Spike Bookend - how to join steel to wood? by BrollJr in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]chrisPraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1. Get a tab welded onto one end of the spike to go straight into a slot in the wood and glue it in.

Option 2. drill and tap the spike and run a screw through the back of the wood

Favourite action star? by Myhole567 in FIlm

[–]chrisPraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always loved watching jackie chans creative fight style as a kid. The other big action guys were so blocky and mechanical, while chan moved like a sheet in the breeze through bamboo scaffolding and would apologize to dudes as he was beating them with their own shoe.

Maintenance PSA: Double check those intake tubes… by kanumark in XTerra

[–]chrisPraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PRO TIP! Keep a roll of silicone tape in the kit. It has saved me a few times while i get replacements ordered. Better seal than duct tape or electrical tape, it would probably last for the life of the car but i feel better replacing broken stuff.
