I didn't read the entire first post or the topic but why the hell did you put down your social security number? That's not a thing you want to give out bro...

Four Lug, your S13 is tight...

BAD NEWS... i went to auto zone today (20 min ago) and they didn't freaking have the calipers for order... their special order warehouse was out of stock... I will have to postpone this now... i'll check strauss... rather buy rebuilt ones than used ones for over 200 bucks....

okay, i say do the z32 brakes then 5 spd... u could get the transmission for $250, ebay for the clutch, just cut the brake pedal smaller w/ a sawzall, and there is this place for the clutch...

they have kits for flywheel and clutch kit, or just a clutch kit... dont tell anyone i told u this awsome site!!! http://gripforce.com/store/ind...=3_39

lol yea man...your car is too low for N.NJ roads :]

I'll look into it.. will not say no yet... just have to see how much i'm spending.. plus i will have to find a buddy to help me or my project mechanic...

I really want my stick shift bad... but my brakes are not that great.. my rotors are shot... that's why i want to do this upgrade first instead of just buying new brakes and rotors...

I would do the transmission first BUT around $350 for the brake swap including powdercoating is a lot easier to get than $1000 for the swap done right... I have taken shortcuts before with my altima and the car falls a cut short of being the way i want it. now that i can make decisions based on past experiences, i don't want to do the swap putting in lesser quality stuff...

It might be less than $1k for it.. i don't know since i haven't looked up the pricing on a descent clutch/flywheel. I saw transmission's on ebay for $250 so i guess i can find one local for 200-250... but i would want to rebuild it... so the kit i think is in just under $200 plus like 2-300 for a clutch and flywheel used/resurfaced about $100 (or lightweight for too much...)

i was in the same boat......wanted 5 spd but brakes sucked. So i just upgraded and waited it out. Found a s13 with blown 5spd engine and dirt cheap and now i have all the parts for a 5spd swap. It will all come in time

Thanks. And the whole autozone for Z brakes situation I went through last year when I first started working there. I was just gonna do the old switcheroo and leave my stock calipers as cores.

lol yea man...your car is too low for N.NJ roads :]

Haha, you're the dude I bought the rear seats + VC off of today thanks again !! Yeah, driving up to Woodbridge I'm on the rightmost lane and all of a sudden I look and the fast and middle lanes just straight DROPOFF into raw concrete instead of asphalt about 2 inches lower. Right then and there I knew God was watching over me. The drive back South wasn't bad at all though. Just the typical dipping and dodging. Gotta hone those reflexes.

Hell yeah man, white zenkies make me like zenkies...

Sounds like a good way for me to start when i'm doing the transmission swap... if i went boost, it won't be for a good year and a half or even two so i can do a stage 1 for now....

I appreciate your help...

I drive through that very road every day of the week on my way to school. It caught me by surprise the first time when I was on the "speed" lane. Thank god im still 4x4 status or I would've lost my bumper. lol

u know if ur wondering about a good clutch setup for the ka also do a search for "whitebunny" thats what i got going on and i love it. grip w/ stock pedal feel. theres alot of hybrid clutch setups u can do w/ the ka.

[Johnsont]

hmm.. whitebunny... lol... sounds so soft and cuddly... i'll check it out.. trying to get a transmission from some guy on zilvia.net... it'll be like 150 plus or minus 15... if he didn't sell it yet... i read that if it's an ODB1 transmission i just have to swap my auto ODB2 bell housing so i can have the hole to put my crank sensor...

But if i buy the transmission, i'll let it sit in my apartment and order the rebuild kit (I have NEVER even seen the inside of a transmission) and rebuild it myself w/ syncros.... I'm sure it's not that hard... being that i know enough about cars... not sure if i might need a feeler gauge but everything else i already have... shoot maybe i'll do a "how not to rebuild your transmission" write-up.... lol.. nah i'll be fine...

We'll see if i get it.... if so, brakes will come second...
