What did you get taken care of today ? and that would be awesome to buy another chuki!!

[mRodiek]

Happy Easter!

Updaate.

AEM UEGODildo NISMO knob, really light for $45...

Ill start with the big news! Weldedness!



Its not pretty but Function>Form FTW!!

T25 bolts Im using with the oil drainGasket that came with my gasket kit does NOT fit.Finally Back OnOil DeliveryWater ReturnWater DeliveryHeater hoses, not sure if this is correct quite yet.Rerouted IACV Coolant hosesI also decided to try and figure out the radiator/fans setup I had and it was pretty easy.Those little black tabs slide in on the sides of the fanUse the provided bolts and bolt them into the threads on the shroud [I actually removed the shroud to put them on, I just took pics at the wrong time lolWorkin it out..Got this bolt into the top mountThis one didnt agree so much, so Ill zip tie it later

Onto the car itself...

Pulled alot of the interiorAlot...Installed my other door handlePulled out sound deadening in the trunkI laughed when I pulled this one peice because everyone on NICO is always talking about how much of a pain it is and I got this huge one peice out Weak attempt at battery relocation, this turned into a 3 hour pain in the a**, but finally got it close, even though I broke my first battery box trying.I was also able to figure out how the battery connects to the fuse box thanks to my neighbor and found out a bulb that I just replaced is out..More than one Nissan thought itd be a good idea to bolt up the gas tank support to the frame and put a nut inside the frame so that you can get the little bastard out.I have to ez out it and figure out how to get another bolt in.

And to make things even better I found some rust! yay@!!@#!@$





Now for the questions section of our program today!

Other half of the gas tank support, how do I get this sucker out?$300 GReddy Intake didnt come with the bolts.. Anyone know the sizes?AND there was DIRT inside some of the pipes..

Thats all for now folks, busy a** day today for Easter then what else? Get drunk of course! lol But seriously I will be working on some more crap tomorrow to get my gears shifting

[Idahos13]

Very Nice update, that shift knob is awesome.

[tEknoS13]

DAMN dude nice work. You totally beat me thats for sure.

I got the same shift knob, but in black I was hoping it be a little bigger but its ok. Could you please take more detailed pics of the ACV hoses and email them to me? Pretty please.... lol

Those fans and shroud are

[mRodiek]

For sure, whats your email?

I like the shift knob but Ive read that a heavier knob will help throw the shift faster? It still looks sechs lol

[tEknoS13]

Its on my sig, anyway... [email protected]

Yes that is true about the heavier weight, I'm kind of nervous that lightweight Fidanza flywheel is no joke by what I hear lol

[mRodiek]

Ive heard a couple of things as well, Im just resurfacing mine for a few reasons-one of which mine is in pretty good shape and another because I dont have another $300 for a flywheel lol

Email sent

I'm running a fidanza with tomei knob and I can't say it's much different from my tiny buddy club knob. The RPM's do drop fast of course, but I really don't think having a heavier shift knob has helped me throw it into gear any quicker.

By the way, did you really get a wideband for Easter?

[tEknoS13]

Yea of course I was just being sarcastic about the whole thing. Damn I was gonna get the Tomei Duracon knob but opted to get the dildo knob lol

Also, since you got the Fidanza flywheel, does your car start up faster? Did you notice great overall improvement?

DriftBoy07- sorry for threadjack

[Stripes]

Duracon knob rocks, I love it. I don't know if it starts any faster or has improved any performance because I put it on before I dropped the motor in my car, but I can tell you that people that ride with me always notice that it revs much faster than they are used to seeing. As far as starting up faster, I think it starts just as fast as a regular flywheel would, although sometimes it will barely even turn over one time and it will start up..... I never really thought about it.

Also, are your threads lined up from that piece you had welded? They look kinda.... off..?

[Bumnah]

Are you using the radiator hose pieces you can get from car quest? It's also the one that Enjuku racing sells.

Looks like it. Anyways. Here is how to mount it up:

[mRodiek]

Stripes-No I bought it myself lol but I got socks for easter . He put the bolt in before he welded it so the threads line up perfectly! Ive put them in & out multiple times so its all copesetic.

Yes Bumnah they are the ones I got from carquest I just wasnt sure how to line them up, thanks.

[lilpiton]

[mRodiek]

Looks like the build is coming along nicely! Can't wait to see what it comes out to. Keep us posted

[idahotuner]

you know this build will only last about a year then you will want it bigger. lol my last set up lsted like 3 months lol

[rare_elements]

Nice build, keep up the good work.

[newdude1]

hey man I got my lines in today. Im only confused on the washers. I got three large ones and 2 small ones. I figured the small ones are for the oil line and Im guessing I used the others on the coolant lines?

[White Comet]

fuel lines ended up back on my front porch today, but i think i know why. my 8s and 0s kinda look the same so your house number was read as xx88 instead of xx80. i'll print clearly and resend first thing tomorrow. sorry for the mix up but i'll get it to you asap

Im trying to remember..2 or 3 go on the coolant return line which iirc its the one towards the front of the engine, then theres 1 or 2 that goin on the oil feed to the block.

I cant remember correctly right now and my laptop crashed so Ill have to do some digging in my thread & positrons to find it for ya.

That sucks! Not your fault though thanks for sending it back out asap. Could you toss me the shipping # too when you send it so I can plan to be home lol

[White Comet]

Yes this would b the plan lol I know Im gonna blow my head gasket sooner or later and hopefully by then Ill have a DD in which case Ill replace the HG, rebuild the head and put a 2871 on

[tEknoS13]

Dude! How is everything coming? I will begin to rebuild next week

[mRodiek]

To be honest...nothing is going right lol as soon as I get my fuel lines I can make some progress. Good to hear about your car though..I wanna see ya do work son!!

Does ANYONE have power steering lines from the rack to the reso & pump out of a DOHC? I NEED THEM NOW!!!

[tEknoS13]

Yea I just got some more goodies. Next week I will do lots of work.

Dont know about the lines. I think d!ck (probably mispelled) had some for sale. I think it read "The d!ck Store" in his sig.
