007 car.. MARCH 14 UPDATED PICS

haha.. 007 car as in terms of ME..

Ok.. Bought the car in December harmless enough.. 700 Dollar Wine Red S14 Zenki Qs Manual. Pretty cheap and clean body except for a small scratch on the drivers side rear Quarter.

Went to pick up the car.. with a Wrecker of course. . . No gas, Battery Dead.. and then finally get this thing running but I could care a ****in less. caues the ***er is a NA BEAST.. lol.. talked about HARD to get started.. but once started had to floor it just to get the car moving.. haha.. looks like FUN.

Shoot to last week and need to get the car inspected BEFORE the changes occur.. well.. compression test put cyl 1 and 3 at almost ZERO .. hahahahaa.. so now gotta do some creative thinking. .

Now, Feb 28 decided to pull the engine and take out all the ****.. relocate the batter and the fuse box to INSIDE the car.. all AC stuff is comming out and broke down to get painted Black in the bay area.

SO, stop my babbleing and pics




get to my friends shop Nice and early.. had to wake up at 7:30am and drive 2 hours and 30bucks in tolls just to get there.. 7:30 EARLY?? :?
thats right ****ers.. on my day off i get up earlier than my work days.. work day i get up about 11:00




Cause we are some Lazy asses and didnt want to PUSH this ****er like 20 feet to the garage.. fired that ****er up and drove it.. haha
GOD i hate that color


working by myself just pulling out some **** .. Gonna grap that Q SR20DE throttle body and slap it on my new engine.. is a little bigger than stock DET



Gotta thank Linds for his FMIC location.. looks like I will have the same idea going on mine.. extra protection for my *aggressive* type driving.. haha



Slowly the parts accumilate on the ground.. haha



Got tired and said.. **** take off the damn bonnet buddy.. so you can stand while you work.



Finally, Had some space where the lift was and moved the car iin



Once everything was ready to get pulled.. Everyone comes to support the pull.. Have to thank Furukawa and Mike with some help get some Misc parts off. Also a BIG thanks for the SANDWHICH !!



Dont eat super spicy Tacos before you pull the engine.. really Burns your ***!! :screwy:



Furukawa looking to see where its cought.. Me pointing OVER THERE YOU ****ING BLIND JAP.. haha



AAAHHH comming out nicely now


3
Me yelling *get that piece of **** out of here*



Mike having a ZEN moment !!




GOD.. can i really put this back together??




Well, Gotta say the bay is pretty clean... but more stuff is on its way out..



And it goes without fail.. GOTTA HAVE THE IN THE BAY PIC.. trying to kill all the bugs in the bay!!



Well, thats it for issue ONE of the Making of the 007 Car.. haha Only had one day to work on this so.. my next couple days off will be back down there for more action!!




Well.. Got some updates from this weekend working on my car!
Pretty tired.. after a late night game of Grand theft auto.. and getting up early to work on the project. .. To start off




The Engine Bay harness was taken apart and it all fit through the hole into the interior of the car




As you can see here its all going through there.. Working on exactly where I will send the wires back through.. Gonna keep the fuses in the dash area and just extend the starter and lights ect..




Damn that was not as bad as I thought but not all that fun either!! haha




In order to get all the stuff out of the engine bay i had to pull the dash and take the heater and aircon out.





Here you can see the unit out.. THIS SUXS!!! hahaha




After moving all the little caps and hard lines.. I am finally done.. haha damn I hope i can put this back together.. haha A couple of the hard lines I just unbolted and moved to the side.. No need to take them all the way out





Taping all the **** up so I can wash the bay.. oil is a BIATCH to clean.. haha









Ok.. I was looking for a pretty good engine.. and I took too long to call back my friend so he could BUY the one I wanted... SOOOO.. my other friend at the shop has this 2.2L engine that was JUST overhauled and I broke down and bought the engine as is.. No turbine / harness/ computer.. I dont need them anyway.. but the engine was 130,000 yen. DAMN.. going to get the engine looked at this week.. and putting in my Tomei Cams, Tomei HG, and Tomei RAS.. haha.





rou ou ou rou oh ou ou .. POWER TOOLS!! IM TIM ALLEN.. GRRRR





**** YEA!! cant go with out some problems.. the 2 bolts holding the lower part of the front fender were mad stripped and tried torching them and all.. NO DICE.. TIME TO CUT!! yea looks at those sparks.. yea yea yea



Well,.. I took 30min to sand down.. PART of ONE strut tower bar.. and I said **** THIS.. this is going to the bankinya.. paint shop.. This week.. the shop will drill out a hole in the core support so I can fit the Kouki lights and will get painted black.. They are pretty busy so may take 2 weeks.. engine will get worked on.

After that gotta put it back together to get shaken.. then take the interior back out for the rest of the prep. ALOT of work

Wow, Great writeup and Photos!!! Keep this good stuff coming!!

Also I have a question for you. How the hell did you get the steering wheel off? I remember when I stripped a 300zx that the frucker was held in by bars and damn soildly. Since in the future I will be doing this to my S13 it would be really good to know. Thanks!!

Thx!! I had the cover off (I'm not that dubm) lol but I guess you do just have to pry it out. I tried to yank it out by hand. As you can guess yeah it didn't work.

Ok.. once again.. went to kumamoto on my weekend to do my part time job.. haha


Off my car goes to the paint shop.. I really should say a TENT in the middle of a field!! haha.. but they do good work..
I should have JUST the engine bay painted and finished by this saturday!
they are in the middle of putting a RB26 into a 1980s president.. haha






Took the Dash out of my BLACK car so i could get at the engine harness easier!




Cant forget to pull out my IMPUL gauges to go in the new car



Engine harness almost out!



VOOWALA OUT



Dont forget the 3 core Rad and my Toyota HIDs




DIF REMOVAL 101

Put on lift



Remove TOP nut for refilling and air for fast and easy drian of OLD oil



Pictured here with plug removed



Then remove the bottom for draining.. Look how CLEAN that oil is :shake:



Note the difference in the plugs The one on the left is the TOP plug
The one on the Right is the bottom plug fixed with a Magnet ...
Why? well.. if your dif is ****ing up or going bad ONE indication would be shards of metal stuck to this magnet.. mine.. very fine sluge at most :thumbup:



Unbolt the propeller shaft WITH side brake engaged



at the same time unbolt the drive shafts from the output shafts
Note: to reach all the bolts you will have to release the brake and turn one of the wheel to rotate the shaft.



If you notice here the sway bar wil get in the way of the dif dropping down.. you DONT need to remove it.. I unbolted the bolts to the sway bar on the body of the car only.. NOT the LCA.. and it droped enough



all the propeller shaft bolts and drive shaft.. keep these in a safe place



unplug this sucker and unbolt the nut .. *NOTE* this bolt is double nutted.. hahaha.. double nutted.. hahaahaha anyway



OMG I cant get it out.. WHAT WILL I DO!!!



Drop the 2 back member bolts WITH a mission/dif stand holding the dif up



YES.. much better



unbolt the 2 front bolts holding the DIF on .. BOOM DONE





Had to pull out my engine and mission from the black car also




wow... look at that sexy clutch.. ORC URAS 409D special.. haha SINGLE plate. using the clutch and mission from the Ks Silvia!!




Well.. that was yet another busy weekend.. next week only have ONE day off but will start putting **** BACK into the new car... YEPPIE!!
