ArmlessMechanic

Long and tedious process of removing the casting pits from the intake manifold.

Let's play just the tip Just for a second Just to see how it feels It doesn't fit as is. Pulled the transmission off and will be putting it in first tomorrow. Picked up a tranny adapter (ha ha) and will figure out its placement as well. In other news I have the front brakes installed. Needed to make a few bushings for the spacers. Still not fully hooked up. need to pick up a master cylinder and probably redo all the lines. In other other news I also got the Tomei ARMS M7960 tutbo, Haltec Platinum Sport 1000 ECU and ID1000 injectors.

Got around to working on the truck again. Got some Falkens mounted on the wheels and ordered some discs for the front. 12" rotors and wilwood 4 pot calipers. I've been chasing clearance issues with the caliper and wheel. I need another .400 to clear the wheels so .5" spacers are ordered and longer lug studs. I'll still clear the front fenders. Ideally I'd get some new wheels, but these were already wrapped in phresh rubber so... no. Anyway Rear wheel clearance Brakes vs Cat The bolt holes on the rotors are slightly larger than the bolts so I'll make some sleeves to center the rotor (possibly spacer).

work smarter dammit

Updates, sure. Progrss is another question... :geek: ha ha Finally got all the parts in from the last order, went to make attempt 1 at installing the motor. Put on the flywheel, then clutch, all torqued beautifully.... forgot to put on the spacer plate for the tranny, can't do it with the flywheel on... took it all off, put on spacer plate on then flywheel and clutch. Next, pulled the old throwout bearing. Went to press in the new throwout bearing only to find it had a dent in the side and each bearing was catching on it. Looks like the teeth from the flywheel dug into it, more than likely my fault. Day: Over. I odered a new bearing and got it a week later. Coming home from work that week there was a forclosure notice on the house, YEAY!!! My landlady decided she didn't want to pay her mortgage anymore. Cool.... Packing up the house and cataloging all the truck parts for the move to notice that both motor mount brackets have disappeared. Cool.... Next week I'll be ordering the brackets and mounts. The new place comes with a garage which currently holds 1/5 of a truck in parts, a Z32 subframe, my bike and all the crap I wouldn't take to my 3rd floor walkup. This weekend I'll be cleaning it out to make space for the truck to get back working on it again by the end of the month. Got a promotion at work and started going to night school for welding/machining so the last several months have been super busy. Going to get back on it soon though! maybe, I hope... Pics will come this afternoon

Mulholland Highway anyone?

Won't be at this cruise anymore.... Finally dropping the motor into my 521 on Saturday. Next cruise??

I'm down for the Saturday run for sure.

I might be able to come up from San Diego. Datto is no worko, bringing the R6. I'll talk to the ratsuns around here to see if any of them want to drive up as well.
