if your brake light stays on it might be the rubber thingy on the pedal.

Well here's the original post so id say it looks pretty legit and does cause corrosion by the sound of it.

as much as i hate to tell you but that permatex gasket maker you just put on your thermostat housing is corrosive. i go to gibson technical center and they just had a guy from permatex come and talk to us and he said never to buy the red high temp permatex products because they're corrosive. he said the only reason they still make it is "idiots still buy it" now im not calling you an idiot because if he never came to us i would have used the same s*** but just for future reference the stuff is s*** but so far man its lookin damn good

so here's the million-dollar question....is the swap worth it? We all know finding a clean m/t 240 usually isn't as easy nor the same price as finding an a/t 240

I have s13 engine+transmission, earl ss soft clutch line, nabco master+slave cylinder, manual crossmember, engine/transmission mounts, even got shiftboot

I am just missing a non abs s13 manual driveshaft, hard line, and clutch/brake pedals...

Hard line can be fabricated... so its not THAT much of an issue but id prefer getting it... and well manual driveshaft... is there any real difference between the abs and non abs ones... my car is non abs.... and last but not least i saw some sale on that courtesparts nissan site that u linked to mentioning clutch pedal... but is it the WHOLE package EVERYTHING thats needed or?...

And is it necessary to get brake pedal assembly from manual? What's the difference?

So again

-Hard line-Driveshaft from non abs manual s13-Clutch and brake pedal assembly

Help <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.nicoclub.com/forums/image ... /smile.gif" BORDER="0">
