1) Approx. how long does it take to disassemble the engine-bay to reach the the timing chain and tensioner and replace these. Should I replace the chain as well and the sprockets?
2)I have some rust developing just in front of my rear fender well(on the bottom underneath and behind the door, i think its called the rocker panel). Can I cut this area out and put rust proofing there and put on aftermarket side skirts or do I have to weld on a new piece of sheet metal and then the aftermarket sideskirts?
3)How do I install the Pivot headlight controller(wiring mostly, i can pick a spot myself, probably in the centre console box)
4)Does anyone know where I can get clear lenses for the pig-nose bumper? Clear corners.com doesn't seem to advertise them anymore. haha and i hear about the el cheapo version but I'm not exactly the type of guy to be fabricating anything. =)
5) Can anyone recommend a type of bulb that is not HID that will fit in the stock housing that is brighter and is an upgraded bulb? And not BLUE!!
6)I'm looking at aftermarket fog lights, not the so called OEM square ones, I'm looking at version Japanese style, they are small and round. Any advice?
7)I have Eibach pro-kit springs on my 240 right now. I would like to put sportline springs on to eliminate fender gap, measured it at 3'' =( for the front, not so bad in the back. How much of a different in drop should i expect? I have 18'' rims with 215/35/18 tires.
8) The other day when I had my heater on for awhile I started to smell a slight burning smell, maybe not burning but unpleasent anyways(not the rotten egg smell). However, the temperature gauge is normal (right in the middle), my idle is good(750 bang on, does this adjust the timing or just the idle RPM?), and my engine doesn't feel overheated. My coolant is topped up and my resevior tank for coolant is sitting about in the middle. What may cause this, do i need a new air filter possibly or what else? Is it burning coolant because i havn't changed my chain guides and seals?
Well thats all the questions I have, haha hope thats enough for you. I figured this was easier then starting 8 threads! To help me narrow down which topic your helping me with, could you just number your suggestions how i have numbered my questions. Thanks a million.

scott - can you ban me please?? :) thnx buddy
thx jeong. I was looking at fog lights, not turn signals lol thats why i want clear turn signal lenses =). For the rust, rust proofing it and covering it with after market sideskirts is ok? I'll have to talk to clear corners as well. The fog lights I'm referring to are seen on a lot of older(1989) GT-R's, possibly standard on them?? Anyways, that is the size I'm looking at.
thanks again this far. anyone know about my spring situation or a more clear outlook on my heater smell?
do you have aftermarket struts with your springs? if not, i would suggest getting some and that should drop your car a little bit. you should have them anyways if youve got pro kit's.if you do, you can get sportlines and that will drop the car like another half inch to what you have right now i think but i dont think it will be quite as stiff.
about the heater im not sure but heres something that happens in houses... all year we go without turning on our heat so dust accumulates all over the place on the heaters. when fall/winter rolls around and we actually turn our heaters on, the dust started getting burned cause its sitting on the heaters and stuff... it can smell pretty bad for a day or so. this is just a possible theory to your problem. my solution: air fresheners

Hey does the computer automatcall adjust the timing? or you gotta do it manually? i use to live in NORCAL but im here in mexico for 6 months...and im at sea level, back in CA i was in the damm central valley...VERY FUCKING HIGH...so whats up? i know there is more O2 here at sea level, but what should i do? it feels a bit odd since i got here too.
thanks

Indeed... Sylvania Silverstar bulbs are extremely bright, and put out a true white light (not blue at all)... I have them on my MS13, and they make quite a bit of difference...
I should have mentioned that I have KYB AGX struts with my pro-kit springs. When I put in the new sport line springs, do I need a camber kit with this? And still nothing for that weird heater smell eh? Do you guys think its really worth lowering the car half an inch for probably 400 bucks?!!
