Sweet!! did you get any pictures of the process so far? I can't wait to start on mine, but the Bronco and Civic both need fixed first. Should only take a weekend for both though.

actually i said i was going to take pictures, but i never got a chance to cuz so many things started to give me problems. i decided to get all the bolts from the dealer, but no one told me till all my other bolts showed up that the 65mm one was discontinued, and the flywheel bolts were another story, i only got 4 from the dealer. and mid process i noticed it, so i had to go to bozo garage to get them. other than that. at estimated 6am tomorrow ill b on the road. il get some nice california beach shots for yall out there.

I also found out when I did my last 5 spd conversion that you CANNOT count on Nissan for the bolts anymore.

I got all my bolts from Askmeforparts on Ebay. It's pretty reasonably priced too

Nice work! How much do you love the car now?

I just bought my shift boot from Redline (NICO sponsor) and I loved it. But custom anything is always cool.

Let's see those pics!!
