We get countless questions about converting to the stock 99 3000gt front end, the parts for which we offer on the Body page. We offer a comprehensive discussion and photo comparison of the different stock styles availalble and try to cover what is needed to complete the conversion.


Looking for common torque specs? Go here!
Here's a page with some of the more common torque specs needed when working on the car - not everything, but the ones typically most needed. Also included are torque specs for aftermarket upgrades like cam gears and flywheels.
