I got the vert from a guy on http://www.mobileimports.org. I traded him my 87 Z31 NA for it. The auto in the vert was a gonner and there is something up with the AC,windshield wipers and cig lighter. They are all related I think.
The day I got her.
For a while I couldnt decide if I wanted to swap the auto for another one or go ahead with the 5 spd swap.. I made up my mind for the 5spd swap and started collecting parts. This took some time but finally got everything needed. I just went with a stock Flywheel, Exeddy OEM clutch kit and used the Enjuku stainless clutch line. Although.. noticed using the Stainless Clutch line from Enjuku, it is a little shorter then I would have thought. I didnt really have the time to do the swap so I took it over to the guys at F and D autocare here in mobile. Great friends and they do awesome work.
I went to the local pull apart cause I got a lead on a nice looking stock wheel (thanks S13beast). It was in great shape!. I snagged it. I was able to swap the whole center section from my original wheel so I could keep the cruise buttons. Here is a pic of the wheel and also shows the manual trans. For the shift knob I went with a Leather one. It is very compfy and weighted nice!
I got this Strut tower bar from Ebay. It was cheap and looks to be constructed pretty well.
I got a whole S14 interior again thanks (S13Beast). I was going to put the rears in but later read they are just a pain to get in, so I will keep the stock rear seats for now.
Thats all I have done to her so far. I have already put over 300 miles on her since Friday and really enjoy driving this car! It is not the most powerful thing in the world but drives great and cruises really nice!
Future plans are Tein S techs and some shocks. Then eventually some 16 or 17" wheels. I plan on building a Nismo power brace look alike and swapping all the bushings for urethane and doing some upgraded sway bars.
