Best Answer

You're going to have add columns supporting the bottom and top of the stringers.
Or you can double up the joists on either side of the top and thru-bolt them to stringers.
You'll have to double or triple up the joists below the stringers (depending on the span of the joists)

300zx Center support bearing?

I'm not sure what the question is, but I'll do my best to elaborate on the Center Support Bearing. Basically, it is a free-spinning bearing that keeps the driveshaft aligned properly. Without this bearing, the driveshaft will "wiggle" and knock around, possibly causing damage to the driveshaft's U-Joint. I've been told they are around $250 from Nissan.

Load bearing and non load bearing wall?

LOAD BEARING WALLS Walls that must support the dead load of their own weight and the weight of subsequent bearing structural members placed upon them. In addition, load bearing walls must be capable to carry the load of "live" loads that are anticpated to be placed upon the the system without deflection that can degrade or negatively impact structural intergrity. NON LOAD BEARING Walls that are only intended to support themselves and the weight of the cladding or sheathings attached. Non load bearing walls provide no structural support and may be interior or exterior walls. Non load bearing walls must be braced to resist minimum 5 psf lateral loads.
