        Welcome! Hey whats wrong with your black S14??



        I see alot of drifter's S14s with R33 wheels on them. Why is that, is it a drifting trend???

          anything from a skyline is considered badass by 240 owners usually.

          btw, stickz please put in your profile that you are the master of pictures.

              the big reason why most people run the GT-R wheels are because they come in very good size 17x9+30 / strong forged and usually cheaper than buying other new wheels.

                  What I wouldn't do to move overseas for a few years...

                  1. Find job
                  2. Find cheapest apartment availible
                  3. Get garage to work in
                  4. Buy an FR that runs
                  5. Begin to have fun on the "glass smooth" roads there!

                    Well,
                    FINALLY got my engine bay back with it painted.. we had to wait until after lunch to pick it up because they forgot to remove the battery tray and what not so they did that during the week.. Daniel came along and was a good help.. was little quiet but Helped out alot. Mike strolled in around 3 and was a good help also.. it was invasion of the white men at the Japanese shop.. LOL

                    well... on with the show


                    As you can see we had FINE working weather and conditions.. rained for pretty much the entire day.






                    Had to remove the 5 bolts from my old black car
                    I went ahead and took the tie rods tension rods and tension bar as well




                    what a nice looking pair.. with 25mm spacers ON them.. pulled my coils pretty dirty.. cant put them on my new car yet cause I have to get car inspection and using the stockies area so much better




                    Now for the money shots!! Got my engine bay back









                    In the rain we got the Hardlines, brake, clutch MC and wiper motor




                    Mike brushing his teeth with a NASTY toothbrush that he used to clean the Powersteering hard lines up with.. LOL




                    mmmm.. new nismo motor mounts ..




                    got the motor mounts on the engine and ready to roll
                    OH. found out that my engine is actually a 2.0 when the put in the cams, Headgasket, and RAS. Its been overhauled so I dont really care if its 2.0




                    Dropping that *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* in YO
                    Look its team ORANGE!!




                    There it is !! haha.. well.. engine mount was little off so we had to do some work to get it to sit in right. but its all good now





                    Took the clutch off my old car.. the Single plate uras ORC 409D.. haha
                    some heat is showing up on this..




                    on all the power steering hoses I went ahead and changed the bands to a much better one.. the stock ones suck *Censored**Censored**Censored*





                    IF for some reason some one does know.. haha.. got more pics




                    Well.. with the 5bolts off my old car... need to take the shitters off my new one




                    holy cow this stuff has NEVER been touched.. the cotter pins were stuck in like glue. haha .. im taking it off at the LCA/Knuckle and englink/Knuckle..
                    I would have taken the LCA to make it easier but I think mine are slightly bent on the old car




                    Here is me with a BFH hitting the knucled to get the ball joints out.. with a little man power out they come




                    Some good old hammer marks with the nut on the bolt for some protection




                    Presto




                    Heres what the cotter pin looked like after.. lol. new ones on tap

                      AND THE SWAP





                      A little TOP picture .. finally in the covered area the next day




                      Handing the flywheel portion of my Clutch




                      Got the rest on and bam.. good as .. a single plate clutch




                      Getting the trans on the engine proved to be a challenge.. had 4 people working this *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* out.. then finally went on




                      working on tightening up the bolts.. still need to Bolt the starter in.. but just getting it snug




                      yea baby .. new mission mount to boot





                      Goodbye see you next week.. or week after when i have 4 days off..
                      got pretty much what I wanted to get done.. I would have liked to get the drive shaft put on and all the bots torqued down.. but all is well.. Had a couple scratches in the paint on the back of the engine bay.. but the heater hoses will hide that

                          well.. went down to the shop again.. didnt really take many pics.. not much to really take pics of.. just putting some *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* back together.. before car inspection.. you will notice is NA but on a DET engine.. this was little challenging at first but figure we got it worked out. Also have a spark issue.. have it but its weak.. so thinking it maybe a ground issue with the new paint.. but not really sure.. swapped in new plugs / coils / plug wires / computer ect.. not much left to check.. anway a few pics




                          well since i had the DE engine.. thought I'd use the throttle body
                          asked for a new gasket and was handed a new one in 15 min. PIMP





                          with most of the things back in..





                          Well.. had to tighten up all the trans bolts/ starter/ propell shaft / mani and exhaust.. but why the hell would i take boring pics of that when i got a boring pic of it on the ground.. haha




                          Yep here it is with rad and crap in



                          had a little fixin to do.. just made a few wires longer
                          shitty pic of my soldering job.. haha




                          ahh the joys of having another harness right there for ya..
                          as you can see the one on my DET was actually melted and broke off.. SOO.. I added cut off the connector from the other harness




                          as you see here its extended a bit out of the way of the turbine to come
                          its wrapped in heat cloth with the ties.. haha




                          well.. some of the random crap to deal with were the water lines.. that was not so much of a problem.. had 2 extra plugs off another engine to plug the 2 in the block .. NOW.. there is a OIL hole that needed to be plugged or oil would be spilt all over *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*.. went to nissan.. NOPE. went to a DIY ie hardware store.. NOPE.. no screw with same pitch as the oil one.. SOOOO we rigged up this little number.. took off the old turbine from my blown engine and cut the oil line off.. then hammered it down and took some plyers to bend it back carefully as NOT to crack it.. presto.. a fix for a temporary problem.




                          Last but not least my girl showing us how to be a woman





                          all in all got almost all of it done. just a few things inside the car and the lights body and fuse box to lock down.. OH i did reroute the wires with a little cutting to the hole near the firewall will post up pics when i get some later.. I decided driving was more important than making my car look super dooper nice.. well.. and got lazy.. This is only stage ONE of THREE
