Looking great get re done!

[Tim]

In the mean time until your leaks are fixed, drill a hole in the lowest part of your spare tire well

[ironcrx]

I drilled the hole 

Forgot to show the cover I did for the shifter tunnel.  Had some lexan laying around and used some plus a generous amount of rtv



It's a cool little window to the rushing road under me.  Still going to be a while before I figure out a shifter boot setup

It's helped some with keeping the exhaust smell out of my car but it's only a minor fix.  Damn poisonous exhaust gases

Awesome

Needs MOAR boost!

Replacing transmission now.  I would be done with it but a few hold ups along the way.

A real pain in the ass to get out.


after pulling the drain plug I can see I'm in for a nasty surprise once I open it.


Well then.  Free floating bearing chunks.


That's a shitty failure there.


More bearings were missing in other locations and there was scoring marks EVERYWHERE!  So this transmission was toast and after  dealing with it's shittiness for a while now (and the huge pain it took to remove it) I felt like I need to do something to make myself feel better.


I want to get to boosting this car but life likes to shit on my plans.  It's my DD too and I got laid off last month so funds are not there for getting another car. 

I'm going home to Iceland this month and will be there for a month or two then when I'm back I'll figure out new employment and get things moving.

Not to be a debby downer, but hopefully you used jack stands before getting under that thing.

Last summer two guys got killed and one put in the hospital in the local 'scene' all from assorted jack mishaps.

This year a friend of mine almost lost a finger and is out of work for a couple months when his jack kicked out while he was sliding a jack stand under the car.
His finger looked like a bloody set of stairs haha. first surgery put a plate in that snapped on the first day of therapy.  Then he had to wait a week before they could go in and replace it and add a second.  It will be a long while before he can use his hand normally again.

I use lots of jackstands.  I already took out the ones on the side when I had remembered to take a picture.  You'll see one still under the front.  I always make sure there are backups.  I do not want to go out like that.

[Tim]

Good to hear.
Man I'm turning into such a bitch in my old age haha

S12s are assholes, I'm on my third one and its got just as bad temeperment as the last two. What are you planning to do for turbo manifolds? The 300zx manifolds aren't even close to working without cutting the firewall (I tried)

Taking the stock headers and rotate them 180* so they're upside down.  Build off that. Also theres a distributor on the club-s12 site that sells spacers.  I'm in the process of installing electric cooling fan(slim fan) plus a smaller slim fan to replace the ridiculous stock s12 ac bracket. This clears up a ton of room in the front.  I'll get even more room if I get a smaller radiator to take up space under the front T-bar/hood latch. That's the plan for right now.

Oh ok, I did a test fit of the manifolds flipped and I wasn't happy. My buddy is going to be building log manifolds for them soon.


Yeah, replacing both of those factory oversized fans works well. I have a 16" spal hooked up to the factory switch
