well...

i am stupid

my panels ARE black- its been that long since ive driven her; i always assumed it was a dark blue cuz my seats/carpets are blue.....

but

they black

so im orderin them soon (i gotta transfer moneyz)

update?

got my arms back w bushings pressed in- only 220 for the labor of removal and install (oo and new balljoints)

SPL said they are shipping my rucas TODAY (finally)

umm the subframe has all four bushings/collars out (worst job ive ever had to do on the car- its a b****) and i started prepping it for paint

got more sanding done- tommorow i hope to finish that mess (should be able to)

plans:

SAT- lay down the undercoating, possibly paint the few pieces i have yet to do either sat or sunday

reassemble the subframe minus the RUCAs monday

install the following sat- then its just paint the interior (order) and install my sound deadening and put the interior back in; do some temp paint for the few panels that got bodywork and im set!!

its commin together!!!

i left my camera at home or i wouldve gotten more pics..... def take it along tmw

stay tuned

ok so i didnt get anywhere on the subframe as you can see

well the collars are out, so i just gotta sand and paint and its good to go.

so as some know i went to look for a fender for jeff-(if it wasnt for that i probably wouldnt have went)
found an untouched SE hatch in the yard got some goodies

theres the fenders guys.... the drivers on the bottom is bent a bit but its great otherwise.

MY LIP



also got a perfect overflow tank- ill probably sell it

all my arms back from getting bushings and new balljoints pressed in.

some need paint touch-ups

still planning to have this put back together so saturday i can get everythin back on the car.

i ordered new rear cailpers today too (mine are fubar) and some misc stuff from nissan. ill order my seatbelts tmw and then im DONE!! for now

oo and my RUCAs and fatmat should be arriving today, but i gotta leave for work soon

alright so i havent updated but i got alot done. basically im waiting on new subframe risers from PBM to raise the subframe back up.

and ive been helping tom (didderson) get his car finished while its at my house

the pinapples are too loose if you take those sleeves out like WC suggested idk how his fit in there but its scary loose on mine.

heres the subframe mostly done:


should go up sat and then im done!

but the real progress has been on the car itself. Finished the undercoating two weeks ago over easter (didnt have a camera and it wasnt fun so)



then onto the interior love- painted the floor (totally rushed it so it looked like poo so no pics

but then laid some fat mat, not even an entire 50 ft2 roll i dont mind some noise.

got the gas tank lines back on, had trouble manuvering it into position with just a jack (so its suspended there for now)

then placed the carpet back in, only downside for me is the hump where the stock belts go cuz they arent there anymore

swapped out the headliner- might have to tear it back out thursday i forgot to remove the US spec bracket for the A pillar- which i dont have due to the company i chose to use not sending JDM A-pillars so now i have a gap ill get it sorted out eventually

US spec headliner is for sale locally

ended up being too dirty and got too involved so i missed my class today o well

as i left it today- im so close to the end i can smell it

i still think my car's magic then, cuz my bushings were snugger then your tightest and then only got firmer when compressed during installation.

its cool man, the PBM ones actually raise the subframe so it will make it a tad lower- helpful since i dont have height adjustibility.

Eh sorry jeff I was just being dumb. By the time you install your t28 turbo you'll have bought something else to install before you drive it. It seems to be an incessant cycle lol.

I was just pointing out my observation. Its nice to see you stick to ur guns w the bushings u bought. Would b nice to compare em.

yeah i'm curious to see how the risers feel but dropping the subframe more then once is not for me the car would be running in 1-2 weeks if it wasnt for the t28. the front end is painted, the t25 woudl have been installed since the elbow and hot pipe came in. all thats left is get an inline fuse and distro box, pick up my moog endlinks and install front cusco sway bar, install driveshaft and headlights, have bov flange welded on, run vac lines and avcr then get gauges and intake pipe. after that its time to start up then put the dash and seats back in. it seems like a lot cuz i itemized everything but theres not much left to do, the t28 is worth waiting for though, lol i plan on being done in time for the great north american s chassis meet june 7th. sorry for the threadjack josh

update time!!!!!!!

alright so today my friend john stopped by w his mountaineer to take the subframe to the car; and i installed two of my PBM subframe risers.

the back bushings are not in because they slide out till they expand, so ill just install them when i am ready to raise the subframe up.

the arms need to be eyeballed for alignment and torqued down and im good to go.

also i need to install the new rear cailpers, and lines (all stock sorry nothin baller back there) thats all tommorow's project

fake mock up shot

well saturday and today i got alot done on the interior.

180sx seat belts and panels are installed, driver's seat, almost all the trim is in place, and cleaned up.

couple cool features; the o s*** handle on the drivers side (jdm passenger)

its fun to hold on to it getting in and out lol

alright ill shut up now enjoy the clean interior!!




discuss.....

back tommorow after classes (hopefully mike will be around to mount up the subframe and then its time for a spin.

alignment is thursday

that is all for now
