The Sedan

Well, I've been a member here for quite some time. I guess I should show some of the members how my car is at least:



Here's a bunch of pics including the rebuild and the recent shots will be posted a little later today... (Car needs a wash)


A while back when the transmission failed (again 2nd time) This time I blamed a faulty transmission cooler I had a PWR Radiator and after I rebuilt the car I inspected the radiator and IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE. PWR RADIATOR FTW!!!!

Cause of the failure was due to a faulty Nissan Rebuild. The valvebody was bad and caused a huge slipping to occur.

yes, had an overheating problem and i just decided the end with it. re-did the entire cooling system. changed pump, thermostat, pressure checked the radiator, hoses, etc..

I also decided to rebuild the heads. When I was rebuilding the heads, I decided to remove the carbon out of the piston faces. In the process I re-routed the wires so It didn't look like Nissans birds nest.

I also added another (much bigger and better) transmission cooler and eliminated the radiator trans cooler by going to the coolers and back to the transmission.

I saw those plates they sell online for 499+ and decided to fabricate my own and installed the E-fans onto the plate and then eliminated the fan clutch.

Next on my list is BBK, and before that refinish the wheels. I'd like to restore them to OEM look.

Thank you sir!

I did a D.I.Y. at gfrenzy here is the link

http://www.mygfrenzy.com/forum/showthread.php?p=107504

Somehow the pics got deleted but you'll see some here




OIL Coolers... Big one on the drivers side.

I recorded the temps with the Consult @ 134degree's while driving on the highway and 156 in city at idle it'll jump to around 170.






HOME DEPOT FOR THE LOSS!!!!

I go inside come out and I have a huge scratch over the fuel cap section!


HKS Muffler











plenty of room with the 12 incher here


hoses do not rub


Close clearence.. it's a bit under 1/2 an inch. but the fans have 0 play so it's all OK with me
(16 inch fan)


this is the electronic thermostat for the fans.



lol while taking pictures I just noticed this:

The screw for the differential (top side)

It got stripped at a local jiffylube and I said FUUU K it, came home welded the socket to it and changed the fluid myself, and left it there... (forgot to order a new screw) time to get on the phone!
