It prob wont be a full tuck yet. I dont have alot of time to mess around with that. I can tell you for sure that it will be alot cleaner than before though.

 

Well... took the engine the rest of the way apart today...





Cylinder walls look amazing. Still have the cross hatching from the factory.





But....

One of my main crank bearings is shot. The crank and the journal that the bearing sits in looks really good... gonna bring the crank somewhere to get checked out though. I ordered a set of OEM bearings, ARP head and rod studs and a timing chain kit from enjuku racing today.

 

Took a 15 minute drive over to Cometic and picked up my top and bottom end gasket kits that I ordered earlier this week. Still waiting on ARP studs, bearings and timing chain stuff.

 

nice scott.

 

ARP rod and head studs are in. Just waiting on the other stuff now and I will start wrenching away.

 

UPS came today...

Genuine Nissan timing chain, timing chain guides, Tensioner, Thrust washers, Crank and Rod bearings and the bolts for the tensioners. I already had the piston rings, just felt like throwing them in the picture.

 

I really lost alot of motivation for awhile on my build. That and I was saving up money to buy an ACT 6 Puck Extreme Sprung Clutch. Clutch is backordered so I have to wait prob another week to get it.

Stripped the sound deadening out of the car about a month ago.




Spent a few hours in the garage tonight, put the heater core, blower, vents, petals and started rewiring the body harness.

Oh, and I also painted the interior red.




Who knew duct tape worked well for ducting? I am not using the center vent, I have 3 gauges going in there.


This is where I left off. I will get back on it tomorrow after work.

 

nice work! I wanted to remove everything and paint the interior of my other s14 but I was scared I wouldn't be able to put it back lol

 

The trick is to put the bolts in plastic bags and label them according to what they came off. The interior is basically held together with only a few different size bolts/screws so its easy to reassemble. I just threw all the interior bolts in a box cause I knew where each one went. The engine is a different story. I have everything labeled.

 

My custom intercooler. Wasnt cheap but will fit awesome for my new setup.





Also ****ing finally got my clutch in. I wanted an ACT 6 puck sprung clutch but it was taking way tooooooo damn long so I switched over to this beauty.

Spec Stage 3+ clutch

 

Couldnt wait to test fit it on my chassis. I am pretty pleased with the results.


This is the whole reason I had it modified. My damn headlight motors wouldnt clear the inlet and outlet. Now she fits perfect.

 

looks nice. did you think about running the headlights up all the time & doing away with the motors? dont get me wrong, i like your custom intercooler. just wondering i guess

 

yeah but I like having sleepy eyes. haha. It was way less fabrication to get this done than to cut a bunch of **** out of the headlights.

 

Also its even less travel for the intercooler pipes, and you dont have to cut up the front end that he just replaced. **** is gonna be so hotttttttttt.

 

yeah, lit sleepy eyes to look pretty cool. and i like the position of your IC. i want the PBM hi-mount that is similar looking.
