Default Updates.......

...Okay so I picked up some tools this weekend for myself for fathers day even though i'm not a father. Sears had a nice sale on a 260 piece tool set for $160

Jack was not included
Today I set out to mount my clutch pedal and remove some unwanted wires from under my dash from the previous alarm system that was in the car.

Also I installed the little adapter to bolt the Clutch master cylinder to the firewall, and also the clutch master cylinder.


Does anyone know what the blue connector in the pic is???

I also changed the stock gto shifter adapter for the f-body shifter adapter and it worked like a charm now the shifter sits perfectly.



After some mock shifting with the pro 5.0 shorty stick vs the cheap ebay aluminum shifter i went with the ebay shifter because it sits so nice and seem as if i can just slamm the gears in just the way its needs to be slammed

....Okay so i was back at it again this morning I set out to do some small tasks like neatly plugging the harness and trying to figure out where all the plugs go,placing the pcm in the 240sx's stock location, Take the transmission down and put in my bleeder lines and clutch line in. Welp while i was trying to remove the little pin so i could replace the bleeder lines I broke the slave cylinder...



Attack of the bolt breaker. So now I need to get a new one gotta find out how much $$$$$$ (another set back!!)
I place the pcm in the nissan stock location

cover

no cover

I tried to make the harness look neat on the car as it seem as if im not gonna be able to run the vavle covers because i changed the fuel rail around.

On a good note I did get the tranny off if you didnt notice the bolt are totally accessible so it was not hard to get it off at all. Im sure put it back up with be a bit more fun.

Random shot of the other stuff:





primered tranny mount

also trying to sort out the rest of the wires take a look:

...ok so its been a while since i've updated last but $$$ is getting tight as everyone knows and i'm also getting married in 375days.

I put on the driver side header today I had to drop the steering rack and pull out the steering shaft to get it in OMG!!!!! what a PITA!!!!!



I need it hit my car up in a few spots with some por15!!!


The passenger side header is not in because i have to cut off a little piece of the block that is in the way. And cut my fuel lines back some more



i still have quite a few things left to do before this car will be up and running I have a list of at least 23 things that i need to do and a few parts I need to buy

Default updates****

....I finally ordered my clutch slave cylinder so i can put my tranny back into the car. The csc should be here mid week so stay tuned for updates....
meanwhile....I got some other goodies......





if you dont know these are evo brembos and the z32 brake line bolt right on but you need a bracket to get the caliper in place which i will be getting asap. I will also be using evo rotors.

Nice progress so far. I really wish I had done up a s14 chassis now instead of mine.

What suspension / wheel / tire combo you planning on running?
