What did you do today? (PICS)

[BuudWeizErr]

This is what I did...

I started right at the crack of 10:30 this morning and finished for the day at aboot 6:30. I'm tired, but the hard stuff is done, and I learned a lot about my end.

Pads.

Caliper Top.

Caliper Bottom.

This is how it all starts out, crappy 4 lug.

Remove dust cover, good luck getting it off without destroying it.

Remove the axel bolt with a 32mm socket, a small socket wrench, and a piece of a flagpole I found in my backyard.

Hacking away at the dust shield.

Need to smooth the edges, bust done for the most part.

Broken cotter pin and dust shield.

Crappy tubing removed.

Not so glamourous shot.

[BuudWeizErr]

Not so glamourous from the side.

Not so glamourous front side.

Tada! Bling Bling has been mounted.

More Bling!

2 More Blings added!

Unf, so sechsai.

Bling Bling shot.

Another bling bling shot.

Miles of intercooler piping.

Stainless Clutchline. None of that loop damper crap on my car.

The Ugly.

And thats that. Tomorrow, I start on the rear, and I have to mount the new master cylinder, all the rear brake parts, then bleed the lines with new DOT5.1 brake fluid.

I can't wait till it's done. Oh, and for anyone wondering. You cannot use Speed Bleeders on the Clutch Slave. It doesn't fit. At least the ones that go on the brakes. So I have an extra set of Speed Bleeders. meh.

Dude sweet! Whered you get the parts, didja source em seperatly or buy a kit?

Thats nice man I want that upgrade next for my car, cool writeup!

PS maybe change the title of the thread though, so people searching can find info on the swap?

[SmithSR]

Looks swell. Good luck with the rear! :ylsuper

[theronin]

Yeah, but you already had 14. You just needed the hubs.

And you weren't at D1, WTF happened bro? Oh, and did you get the hook up you called me about last week?

[S13s Lost Illusion]

tight i guess i didn't need to go up there anyways... haha, yea, why didn't you remove the dust shield? Is it cuz you want some protection? or just too lazy? haha

[SFourteen]

That's right you needed more parts the I did. Very nice job though. Are those the se wheels you were telling me about?

Yeah I was there. Sorry bro we were in a group and it was so crowded and we wanted to see the drivers run so we just sat down. During the intermission my wife was busy taking pics with the drivers and getting autographs =P

Where did you guys sit? Did you get trackside tickets?

-Norm!

[SFourteen]

BTW how much did you get the z32 brake conversion for?

[BuudWeizErr]

Well, I got lazy today. I'm sore and sunburnt so I'll work on it another day. Plus I have tests tomorrow that I have to study for. Anyway, couple more pics.

Battle Ready 240. S14 SE's mounted and lowered.

Overall. I cannot wait to get rid of those rears.

Side Shot.

Another Side Shot.

This is the ultra rare 4x4 version 240SX.

Can't wait till that crap is gone.

That is all.Discuss.

I'm curious too. Is it really that difficult to remove that baffle? It seems as though most people just end up hacking the **** out of that thing.

[jdmfreak]

Great work budd.

[drifter_for_life06]

Nice swap, cant wait to see how the rear turns out, post the rear pics and how they feel would ya? : )
