40s? enjoy that yall it was 65 here today

40's to us in Feb is a heat wave when ur used to the temps in the Teens. i had shorts on this morn

[Kori]

i had pants and winter coat on

i am loving this above negative and then above freezing weather though! Cant wait for the 70's and bikinis and tan lol. but i wouldnt leave wisconsin, love it here to much!

I am pumped, record highs on tuesday! 54! Heat wave for sure! I pulled out the flip flops this weekend already!

But i already pulled the HICAS off the car. I saw the drain on the diff but where is the fill? I cant find the fill! Kinda a newb thing. Also i figure i should flush it anyway, what gear oil do you use to fill it?

i would check the fluid level in the diff first...then get a hicas eliminator kit cause that could be causing it too...if the diff is low fill it back up and it should be good after that...check around the seals to see if they are leaking anywhere...i have a good website to get them cheep

What is the website? You can text it to me if you dont want the world to know it too...

our DIffs take 8/9's of a quart of gear oil. I used 85w90 lucas gear oil on my VLSD thats on the way out. kinda brought some life back to it. I need a clutch type... my motor just destroyed the Viscous one lol

+1 for 70's. But by the time we actually see 70's ill have a tan already lol i tan super easily

[Kori]

i was always told with my talon that reline or BG is really nice stuff.

Sweet thats what ill put in it! But how did you fill it? do you have to drop the diff to get to the top?And once i get the new clutch in we should set up a time we can all meet up! Keep in mind i just bought the car and its super rough so it looks like a piece of ****! But soon enough ill haev it painted! But for now can you say sleeper! 2

There is a fill hole near the top somewhere.

[Nissan2367]

Huh... ill have to look again. maybe its above the steering rack

[Kori]

you think yours looks like a POS... ben's (no offense ben lol) doesn't look the greatest putting it nicely.. Old drift shell, nice size dent in rear passenger side, all rattle can flat black lol.. but next shell will be nice

damn you beat me to it kori! lol i was gunna say my chassis looks like ***. its seen MUCH better days. Pretty much used this shell to get the motor running and workin out all the kinks. now im shopping for a new mint chassis to start my REAL build with.

with help from kori it should have a shaved and tucked engine bay. matched with my rb30 with freshly painted valve covers. OMG its gunna be ORGASMIC!! (im trustin your honda wire tucking skills will do wonders on my nissan kori)

[toadx8u]

the fill plug is on the driver side of the rear and usually about mid way up...sometimes its on the rear cover and somtimes its on the actual housing

I'd think it would be the same thing... its just cut, lengthen/soder, wrap in electrical tape, then zip tie/secure in fenders ect... Just gotta map it out where each wires are going logically first.

I'm not shaving your bay... f**k no.. not my thing lol.. never shaved one so wouldnt wanna f**k it up on someone else's car.

im doin the shaving lol thats not hard. i got a welder. Ur job is just the wire tuck. WIll ill help with it. U just gotta help me map it out and get it done

[240z4u]

Why are you spending so much time cleaning up wiring in a car your not keeping? Honest question.

[lilskyline240]

lol no evan we arent doin it on this chassis lol. Im lookin for a new chassis right now that ima shave and paint the engine bay this spring in. Then im gettin my white coupe shell from delafield that i have out there and puttin a stock KA in there for my Daily driver. Once that happens im tearin apart my Black coupe with the RB in it and using that whole car to build my good chassis with the shaved bay

[Kori]

good you can then shave my bay.

[Nissan2367]

Hahaha you guys (and girl) are funny. I will be doing the same thing i think... after seeing evans s14 i think i want one with a Silvia front end on it but hey ill still prob paint my s13 cuz i do it myself and i dont like rolling in a hoopdie!

the fill plug is on the driver side of the rear and usually about mid way up...sometimes its on the rear cover and somtimes its on the actual housing

Thanks man!!!

[lilskyline240]

Most of my wire is hidden, and what isn't needs to be moved. The one thing is that it kinda sucks to work on. I cut out 2' of harness length from the harness I built before hand.

There is a 1" bundle of cable that goes to the motor and thats it. I was going to pull it through the fire wall right behind the engine but there is no space.

I had the car torn down for jet hot coating some parts so I did it then.

Yeah i painted for a body shop for like 4 years and i also went to Wyotech for college so i do all my own work on my car! I am doing my car in a friends dads booth but he is letting just me do it. I can do yours in your garage if you want. I have all the paint guns and what not still. All i would need is for you to pay for the paint. That and it needs to be at least 75 out or if you have a heated garage that will work even better!

[Kori]

i got a shop and it's wood furnace heated... you went to wyotech for auto body repair or just paint?

The wire tuck on the one civic that i only helped my ex do is a full blown wire tuck.. you got to look for wires to see them (like where sensors are ect) looks awesome. Also on a different civic of his did a half wire tuck (just didnt go all out and through the pain of adding ridic amounts of wire to hide something that's already pretty hidden) and the holes in firewall from removing heat and air conditioning put some carbon kevlar to seal it, looks sweet. I would have done one on my talon but DSM bays are just busy to begin with so no real point.

Tedious work.. lol

[toadx8u]

What is the website? You can text it to me if you dont want the world to know it too...

rockauto.com is the site....

rear cover seal... FEL-PRO RDS27275 axle output seal(x2)... TIMKEN 223542 dif input (pinion) seal... TIMKEN 712020

[Nissan2367]

Yeah screw wire tucks! I did a partial one on my civic and it sucked! My 240 will stay the same unless i buy a better shell!Your shop would work perfect!! Just let me know! Just an fyi i refuse to do crap hack paint jobs. when i do them everything needs to be pulled off and done the right way... sorry!

[Kori]

i wouldnt want a crap half *** paint job lol... how long would car need to sit in the shop?

[240z4u]

About the last thing I would do would to be to paint a car in a wood heater heated shop. There is a reason that code requires sealed explosion proof motors in paint booths. If you can get the place hot enough to paint and evacuate the fumes and re-light the fire that would work.

Evan

[Kori]

lol good point!

[lilskyline240]

alright thats sweet man. ill definitely let u kow when i need my new shell to be painted. seems like we got quite a RB 240 team from wisconsin goin right here lol

[Nissan2367]

Yeah we do for sure! We need to all meet up sometime but it looks like its going to get cold again But hey what do we expect its mid feb!

[240z4u]

Got a chance to ride in his car last night, feels much different with a stock turbo! I like it. Clutch slips like a mother, and his rear subframe bushings are shot! lol. The diff seems fine.

Nice job Keith!
