now to the rear ball joints.. you can swap these out with the sentra front ball joints..




pressing in the new


finished product



so i got a new oil pump and to install it i had to remove the timing belt cog. i tried when i got the engine to remove this. but it was tougher than balls. and the clearance behind is impossible to get a good puller behind. so were going to try to tap and die it.

never tapped and died and it's a good kit to have.



modified a puller with holes and crossed my fingers..



tighter than youre virgin cousin. and still no budge..



f*** wow.. i was told by some to torch it and it would expand. then others said it would damage the crankshaft.. so i will put it back together get a new cog later on and cut this pos off..

cog -2 me -0

going the easy route and using a tire,didn't need to flip the whole engine..



the bolts had to be taken out in sequence and put in sequence. i had my trusty rb fsm.

pistons are tiny(like youre c***)



looks good to me



oil strainer looks good.



so this damper looks really chewed up..



and after sitting around for a week(and away from water) got some slight surface rust



and the clutch mated up with flywheel



yummi pretty blue



found a damn crack in my intercooler





so time for the insertion.. strapping up



and back in dammit!!

using the good stuff.


oil cooler tree adapter.







well i removed the oil cooler kit. after a start up and it started to leak(even with teflon tape). and i don't wan't to loose my engine because my oiling kit is faulty. so i will have to rethink this oil cooler thing..

my horn sounded like s***. so i grounded it to a better location.



now on to the rear rotors..





compressing in the rear brakes are a bit tricky.. they are screw type(not push type. like i learned the hard way.(had to cut out a brake(pusher) )


but for the s13 rears you need this thing



then you just twist and shout...





now when you install these f*** there is a system to get these on.



then you have to bleed



now the progress stops.. even with front spacers(x2 each wheel) the wheels and tires don't turn.(f*** it all)













so iam on the hunt for z32 wheels. and in the mean time i would like to get an intercooler and i located a sc transmission i have to pick up tomorrow..

[supersayianjim]

well now it's time to finish this operation(this time). finally got some more funds
-some z32 brakes. and had to get a hold of some 225/50/16. as the 60's that came with the tires didn't mount. went to the junk yard and got 2.(the front left one is missing a cord and needs to be replaced shortly.

-also ordered a greddy oil cooler tree, a godspeed swaybar set, and a new icebox.

-so i went to u-pull-it and got another j-30 diff with the proper output shafts(the 3 sets of 2 bolts) like the 13 ones so iam going to use my 13 axels.

-i also ordered a front and rear underbrace,along with a rear upper bar.

[supersayianjim]

iam all about the box(the other box)






these are f*** thick






had the same problem with this pumpkin like the last one as the ds bolts didn't want to move. but i got an app for that!!










also picked these up as i need them to make the diff work.froze them overnight. just incase they didn't want to go in easy.

[supersayianjim]

the 30 input shafts are longer. but other than that look just like the open ones(but you can't use the open ones on the j30)










and finally got it together(needed new output seals). but ready to get stuck in.






didn't use a abs driveshaft either(like the myth says) and the thing fit perfectly.










had to dremel some plastic to get the rear bar to fit.









so still leary on doing brakes the first time. and after finding deposits in my line. i wanted some kind of better one man bleeder. so someone told me about this and id figure i would give it a whirl.






yummi new box..






got front new oem lca's for 50(for the pair) so had to take the spindles off to hammer out the old bj.





then it was onto mounting the swar bars. then i was in for a disappointment(luckily i didn't throw the stockers away)


the bigger bar was too close to the rb oil pan. even with the sr20store spacers.










even using the supplied brackets and bushlings failed..










so i had to go back to the stock bars with the urethane bushlings.
