New to the Nismo World!!

What's up guys?? Name's Casey, currently stationed in Southern California, San Diego area to be a little more specific. I just picked up a '93 S13 last week. It's a stock CA18DET motor, with a no-name exhaust...that's about it. lol. My other rides are a '94 B20 Integra, and a 550+awhp '05 STi.

The S13 isn't in perfect shape. It needs a throwout bearing and a rear main seal, that I know of. Being that this is my first rwd car, how different is it? If at all??

Thanks for the help in advance!

If you need some help with your car, let me know, I'm in San Diego.

Stationed in Okinawa for 3 1/2 years and worked on nothing but nissans when I was in the Marine Corps.

Hey thanks for all the responses guys. I'll get pics up ASAP. I have some pics on my phone, gotta send them to my photobucket first. BigGameHit- Im stationed out here on the Anti-Submarine Warfare base, I'm a Sailor...I got a couple buddies in the Air Force. YangpaNemSay- thank you for the offer, I will probably be taking you up on it. lol. In the next week or 2 probably, Im going to replace the throwout bearing and the rear main seal. First, I need to order them. I cant find anything on Ebay or Google...any ideas??

Thanks for the suggestion fellas

so does it sound about right, that I could use a rear main seal made for the 300zx twin turbo...and i can use a throw out bearing for a ka, since the trannies are identical, except for the bellhousings??

Damn skippy! I am bringing it back with me! I just have to see about getting it legalized or decide on if I'm going to keep it for just race/drift/shows.

If you are looking for OEM, i'd suggest going to one of the many Napa Auto stores in San Diego, they give military discounts when you show your ID.

PM me your email address man!!!
