Tightened the hose that connects the power steering hardlines to the power steering reservoir. Still leaking oh-so-slowly, the little bastard.

Dude it is a nissan from the 90's, if it doesn't leak power steering fluid there is something wrong with it.

Today I put on a front strut bar; its amazing how much they reduce body roll.

ikgamex - you've sent me a PM about my s14 for sale, but have pm message receipt disabled. That doesn't make much sense...

Slept in it between exams. Why is it so hard to get some sleep in a 240.

Pulled the alarm system modules out since it was causing deceleration and start up problems. Took my old as dirt radio out since it doesn't work and thought that maybe causing the problems as well. As soon as I took out the alarm modules, the car started right up every time I turned the key.. Don't trust anybody with an alarm system install except for a certified shop with a warranty. :rolleyes:

Going to start pulling the engine out tomorrow. Baffle plate needs to be resealed. Silicone grey here we come. Oil pump cover will be replaced along with some other things. Going to check out my flywheel and clutch should be good since it never slipped on me. We shall see.

I got my exhaust done from the turbo + external wastegate back to my BRM exhaust installed. (I didn't really do anything except pay for it, but I think that still counts, LOL)
