I had a talk with PBM folks again about the lower strut mount..
turns out they have the older versions in stock and was able to find them in their ware house.
i went ahead and ordered that so i can put the car back on the ground finally.

It should be here by monday.

 

So...where do I mount this to now...?

 

PBM lower shock mounts came in today.
and here's the product difference. Old to New.





Ready to bo back on the car.

 

how do you measure the length of pipe? I have a 2.5" 90 Degree L-bend pipe that needs to be replaced. I am finding a lot of 18" and 15" L-bend pipe in 2.5". If I measure the most outter bend of the pipe end to end is 18"..is that correct?

 

All I do is Nguyen Nguyen Nguyen no matter what!? <3 lol

My front sway bar end links came into the mail today. can't beat $24 shipped for pair new. Good stuff. so I went ahead and installed that on the black car.

I drained the oil so I can work on the turbo with out getting soaked in oil/lubricant. went to plug the bolt back on and what...???? dripped oil drain hole.

FML.

So...i took the oil pan off just now. the RTV seal was good enough to hold the oil pan up in place by itself. it took very long plank of wood and a hammer to get it off. Oil splash every where...damnit.

 

M12x1.25 perma-coil thread repair, check.
couldn't find 31/62nd bit so just went with 1/2 bit, check.
thread repaired on the Greddy oil pan, check.
3 bottles of redline shock proof for kaaz 2way diff service, check.[Greddy diff cover]
GL-4[I couldn't afford the mt-90 this time] for the transmission, check.

stupid car life.

 

Fixed oil pan pic...

 

repaired another thread before I put the oil pan on..got everything cleaned up, applied RTV, the 1 last bolt strips...took it all off again to repair that thread, then the oil pan went back on. what in the world are you doing to me Murphy?

 

Fixed the cracked head light lens cover. not the prettiest job, but what ever. better then going back to stock lens covers.

 

Talked to Frank from GarageBoso about the diff oil to use with Kaaz 2ways. told me Shockproof is garbage. from their previous uses, they had to rebuild it after 1 event using Shockproof because it got too gunky after their FD event. So all they use now is the Valvoline SynPower[Full Synthetic] 75W140 on their current S15/FD car/Hogzilla.

Damn... $10.99 Qt. for Redline Shock proof VS. $12.99 Qt. Valvoline SynPower 75W140.

Crazy price difference. oh wells, I trust the Pro's saying about Valvoline Oil.

 

i went and bought Bosche 11027 from Autozone for $19.99. just had to splice a female connector to it. simple 10 min job.

man, Bosche stepped their parts game up! the thread was already anti seized, and the wire already had a crimp connector crimped on. not bad. my old O2 sensor was actually really really bad. the sensor inside the shield was broken to pieces. no wonder why my MPG went to ****.

 

Needs bigger brakes nao.

 

Old airplane retired, new brown dog in. Zebra shift boot retired, Tiger shift boot in. Hello kitty is there to stay. Yes that is a GS-R shift ****.

 

got bored...

 

I am here to disappoint you guys all. I'm out of the nissan game. I was never here to impress anyone but nor was I here to anyone's amusement.

My black S14 is for sale.

Please buy it so I can end my embarrassment for once and for all.
