The first thing i wanted to do was remove the engine and gearbox so i spent most of a Saturday removing parts like the radiator,hoses,alternator,starter motor, and loosening the bolts for the bell housing and engine/gearbox mounts and took out the front propeller shaft and left/right drive shafts. the next day i separated the release bearing from the clutch and took out the engine using my older brothers engine crane that he used for his 68 camaro.

so out came the Engine

Yeah im not too worried about the money its just that im paying two car loans and a lot of other small debts at the moment. The good thing is both car loans will both be paid 1 month apart from each other. Just a matter of me prioritising what's more important at the moment

Just this weekend i removed some of the sound deadener off of the floor of the car I've done where the back seats go and some of the driveline tunnel and im yet to do in front of the front seats which im gonna hopefully do next weekend post-73141-13798408287662_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408409214_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408523256_thumb.jpgpost-73141-1379840864621_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408779595_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408894868_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408994569_thumb.jpg

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
