Actually, Im going with another FULL kit and changing to KOUKI front.. I will have FRP fenders and aero with carbon bonnet


pretty sure on the maker.. just keeping ideas open incase i see something I really like.

 

wow man thats a lot of money goin into this thing
How much so far?

 

from my old car that I have... I had about 1mil yen in parts.. 10Gs basically.. all that is being trasferred over to the new car.. and Im putting another 12Gs into this one.. so basically 23Gs total once these mods are done

 

And worth every penny, you guys gotta love silivas.

 

I love those cars in the background, the white s15 and the white 180

 

like i said. if you don't want the body kit, I'll take it!!!

 

looks like fun. Keep up the good work.

Looks like you guys had fun.

 

Well,
FINALLY got my engine bay back with it painted.. we had to wait until after lunch to pick it up because they forgot to remove the battery tray and what not so they did that during the week.. Daniel came along and was a good help.. was little quiet but Helped out alot. Mike strolled in around 3 and was a good help also.. it was invasion of the white men at the Japanese shop.. LOL

well... on with the show


As you can see we had FINE working weather and conditions.. rained for pretty much the entire day.






Had to remove the 5 bolts from my old black car
I went ahead and took the tie rods tension rods and tension bar as well




what a nice looking pair.. with 25mm spacers ON them.. pulled my coils pretty dirty.. cant put them on my new car yet cause I have to get car inspection and using the stockies area so much better




Now for the money shots!! Got my engine bay back









In the rain we got the Hardlines, brake, clutch MC and wiper motor




Mike brushing his teeth with a NASTY toothbrush that he used to clean the Powersteering hard lines up with.. LOL




mmmm.. new nismo motor mounts ..




got the motor mounts on the engine and ready to roll
OH. found out that my engine is actually a 2.0 when the put in the cams, Headgasket, and RAS. Its been overhauled so I dont really care if its 2.0




Dropping that **** in YO
Look its team ORANGE!!




There it is !! haha.. well.. engine mount was little off so we had to do some work to get it to sit in right. but its all good now





Took the clutch off my old car.. the Single plate uras ORC 409D.. haha
some heat is showing up on this..




on all the power steering hoses I went ahead and changed the bands to a much better one.. the stock ones suck ***




IF for some reason some one does know.. haha.. got more pics




Well.. with the 5bolts off my old car... need to take the ****ters off my new one




holy cow this stuff has NEVER been touched.. the cotter pins were stuck in like glue. haha .. im taking it off at the LCA/Knuckle and englink/Knuckle..
I would have taken the LCA to make it easier but I think mine are slightly bent on the old car




Here is me with a BFH hitting the knucled to get the ball joints out.. with a little man power out they come




Some good old hammer marks with the nut on the bolt for some protection




Presto




Heres what the cotter pin looked like after.. lol. new ones on tap




AND THE SWAP





A little TOP picture .. finally in the covered area the next day




Handing the flywheel portion of my Clutch




Got the rest on and bam.. good as .. a single plate clutch




Getting the trans on the engine proved to be a challenge.. had 4 people working this **** out.. then finally went on




working on tightening up the bolts.. still need to Bolt the starter in.. but just getting it snug




yea baby .. new mission mount to boot





Goodbye see you next week.. or week after when i have 4 days off..
got pretty much what I wanted to get done.. I would have liked to get the drive shaft put on and all the bots torqued down.. but all is well.. Had a couple scratches in the paint on the back of the engine bay.. but the heater hoses will hide that

 

I love this thread.

 

its like watchin a show on tv LOL. cant wait for the next episode

 

well.. went down to the shop again.. didnt really take many pics.. not much to really take pics of.. just putting some **** back together.. before car inspection.. you will notice is NA but on a DET engine.. this was little challenging at first but figure we got it worked out. Also have a spark issue.. have it but its weak.. so thinking it maybe a ground issue with the new paint.. but not really sure.. swapped in new plugs / coils / plug wires / computer ect.. not much left to check.. anway a few pics




well since i had the DE engine.. thought I'd use the throttle body
asked for a new gasket and was handed a new one in 15 min. PIMP





with most of the things back in..





Well.. had to tighten up all the trans bolts/ starter/ propell shaft / mani and exhaust.. but why the hell would i take boring pics of that when i got a boring pic of it on the ground.. haha




Yep here it is with rad and crap in



had a little fixin to do.. just made a few wires longer
****ty pic of my soldering job.. haha




ahh the joys of having another harness right there for ya..
as you can see the one on my DET was actually melted and broke off.. SOO.. I added cut off the connector from the other harness




as you see here its extended a bit out of the way of the turbine to come
its wrapped in heat cloth with the ties.. haha




well.. some of the random crap to deal with were the water lines.. that was not so much of a problem.. had 2 extra plugs off another engine to plug the 2 in the block .. NOW.. there is a OIL hole that needed to be plugged or oil would be spilt all over ****.. went to nissan.. NOPE. went to a DIY ie hardware store.. NOPE.. no screw with same pitch as the oil one.. SOOOO we rigged up this little number.. took off the old turbine from my blown engine and cut the oil line off.. then hammered it down and took some plyers to bend it back carefully as NOT to crack it.. presto.. a fix for a temporary problem.




Last but not least my girl showing us how to be a woman





all in all got almost all of it done. just a few things inside the car and the lights body and fuse box to lock down.. OH i did reroute the wires with a little cutting to the hole near the firewall will post up pics when i get some later.. I decided driving was more important than making my car look super dooper nice.. well.. and got lazy.. This is only stage ONE of THREE

 

Nice Job, we need more pics... looks good tho

 

i like the last pic. d=D
