A job worth doing, is worth doing right!

Do you have a wiring diagram you would like to post up?

this effectively killed the fuel pump so the only option was a new pump...150$ later i have a new pump in tank and it drives flawlessly.

started on the hood so i wouldnt attract too much attention from local law enforcement.
have a bit more to do and need to cut and reweld as it is uneven in places but it does the trick for now.

an overall shot with a shot of her new shoes, r32 gtr wheels woo!:

tail shot, exhaust needs to be realigned tho.

a few engine bay shots, also note the work in progress with stuff here and there...have to cut a hole in the fender well for the cold air extention for the intake.

more to come, videos perhaps this weekend!

another clean looking swap in the bag carl, nice job man

How long before a vid?!?

first section of the bellhousing, most important as it will locate the trans for the rest of the mouting... trans bolted on awaiting second section, alignment is still good. second section and modified bellhousing, notice large gaps from differences in bellhousing diamaters. quick shot of the ringgear and one spot on the trans that needs more grinding for good clearance. second section welded along with first section: trans bolted to engine, she's quite snug and fits well...

if your could do this but for a vq35de engine i would you! it would make my life soo much easier

neejay - soon enough man...have to get her legal now to drive on the road.

yellow4g63 - that was the plan but the local yard is lacking q's currently.

front view of the modified plate and maf:

decided due to the size of the filtercharger that it would be best to go ahead and put the maf in the fenderwell for not only space but also to insulate it from engine bay heat, the pipework is 3.5" mandrel bent.

quick shot of the maf/filter/extention pipe:

splash guard has been refitted to keep water from well splashing onto the filter and causing operational issues like hydrolocking.

also was able to start on the cowl hood sides and back, havent decided on how i want to seal off the sides/back to keep them watertight.
using some nice 16ga sheet steel a friend gave to me i started tracing out the needed patterns for the sides and cut them out...here only the passenger is cut.

and the cut passenger side test fitted...needs more triming but that is stuff to be done under the hood.

depending on how motivated i am tommorow i might pull the transmission and inspect the damage...i have a new complete clutch kit here if i have to replace the clutch but i hope it wont come down to that.
worst case scenario the trans assploded, best case its just a faulty throwout bearing...we'll see.

Hope that speedo converter works out for ya too!

clutch disc was damaged and the spring had wedged its self between the pp and the disc causing it to not disengage.
transmission is still in one piece and does not appear to be damaged nor do i see any cracks in the welds.

here is another shot of the disc up close:

and one of the pressure plate:

i speculate that the disc was hitting the pressure plate on the large 'rivets' that can be seen under the diaphram, not sure why and if this was a defect of just poor design.
I think i may just order a standard organic full face disc from the parts store as they're cheap and readily available...pp does not appear to be damaged and with a light scuffing and cleaning of the mating surfaces should be fine.

keep an eye out, hopefuly an update this week.

Not to jack the thread, but I have a set for sale. They're not GTR, though - they're GTS. Email me.

Help me get Dale Davis back for stealing Jaymee's car!! / VG30DETT into 1989 240SX

finally got some decent suspension on the car and it rides on the tokico lowering kit and blues...handles nicely and rides loads better:

also managed to get a baseline dyno of the car...before the dyno the car developed a missfire which would come and go.
end of the dyno session it was missing badly and sounded like it was running on 6 of the 8 cylinders.
problem comes and goes so i suspect either a tank of bad gas or injectors starting to fail; either way i have 8 good condition sr injectors to go in as well as the deatchwerks adaptor kit.
heres a quick scan of the dyno, but my floofy cat got in the way.

hoping to pull the plenum next time im home and r&r the injectors...stay tuned.

What type of issues were there in the first place? What did you do to fix them?
