haha nice, we had my motor out in like 15.

BlackZenki82

from hood pop to motor on the ground? lol

well, i got my harness done today, and tried to finish a KADE valve cover for the guy, but the rain came and made the clear fog up on me...

either way, pics of the harness...

good little work station...

shrink wrap and solder...

final product, a hellova let better than before....



and here's some shots of the KADE Valve Cover i'm doing for chromedrifter, i can finish if it will ever stop raining... it's a green metallic pearl... will be adding 4-5 coats of clear and cut and buffing the letters to a mirror like polish






well, that's pretty much it till this weekend when i do the swap!!! got some more parts to pull of the SR car to get it ready for a pull... pics to come of course... i'll also be painting my upper bay FMIC piping Nissan Super Black, just to kinda match.... the rest of the theme in the bay....

Nickmerrone

did you paint that or powder coat?

Looks like paint nick. thats not an electrostatic gun in the background. Its a lawnmower.

Nickmerrone

hahahahahahha.

Yeah i figured..Until i can get mine powdercoated..I think a few people MIGHT like my design haha.

Oh and zenki..be carefull. you painted in side the spark plug things..that paints gonna chip off like mine did. When i tore apart the old motor there was paint ALL over inside.

240smoke

I taped mine off so the wires would seal better.

Nickmerrone

same.

BlackZenki82

i could care less, it's not for my car.... and it was just a bit of over spray that got in there, nothing like a full coat...




minor updates, got some **** done Friday (yesterday), snapped off a few shots...

got it stripped, and ready, only thing i need to do to get it out is to unbolt the tranny cross member and yank it out.... now on the the auto KA for the same steps... UGH


pile-o-parts..


oh oh, and the SR>KA AC compressor adapter brackets came in.... not quite what i expected for $105, but it came with a belt, and should just bolt right up, so it's worth it, considering most AC services are well over $150...


other than that, my 1pc clutch line came in, got my Nistune installed in my GRID ECU (just pulled the board out, and slid the Nistune in, the back was already jumped too, with a real switch, and not solder), ummm C-pillar bar came in, although kinda cheap-o... what else, oh yeah, pig tail for the Z32 MAF, the stock SR ECU that i was gonna put the Nistune in (don't need that anymore..)

so later today, i'll have more pics when i pull the KA and get the SR in... i'm going to wait to install the Nistune ECU, i'll run the stock one, till i can at least get the consult cable hooked up, which i'll probably do upon install...

So are you planning on getting your swap done this weekend?

Nickmerrone

god i would kill to have 2 s14s..

BlackZenki82

yeah, SR shoudl be in this afternoon....

BlackZenki82

so, project stalled due to poor planning... i don't have everything i need, as afar as tools go, i need a sawzall to cut the bumper support, a 3.5 and a 1 1/4 hole saw drill bits to make the holes for the clutch master, and the AC bracket so i can mount my KA compressor with the adapters....

i should have already had all this set up, but it looks like i'll be waiting till next weekend...

i did make progress tho, i got all the 5spd parts off the gold car, as well as all the gauges, and wiring for the GReddy EBC and FATT and AEM wideband... so now it's all just a matter of installing on the new car...

man i'm dissapointed... for real...

240smoke

Sorry to hear that man. I used knock outs from work to make holes for the Clutch MC and intercooler piping. Cant you just take the support from the other car?

BlackZenki82

naw it's the fire wall.... **** sucks....

UPDATE!!!!!

swapping motors in two cars at the same time is a pain in the *** when you're doing it by your self....

to say you are motivated, is an understatement.

i wanted to ask you a dumb question. you said "no orange sticker, no problem?" do the s14's not have an orange sticker to tell you its a vlsd? im trying to figure if mine is a vlsd or not. seems like it is, handling wise it grips well in corners but it could all be in my head. haha. right now you are the s14 official.
