  1. Part number 612200. They are only listed as being for 1993 for some reason.
  2. Installed a Stainless Steel Gibson cat-back (and new magnaflow direct fit cat). The old muffler practically fell apart when I removed it. Sounds awesome and I can feel a tad more power, plus there are no rattles when I drive around now.
  3. Checked my tire pressure - 26 psi HOT! Time to add some air. Also. Got my Gibson Stainless Steel cat-back in the mail!
  4. They look fine. They don't come with bushings from superlift either - you use your factory spindle with factory style bushings - most people use poly ones that you can get from rugged rocks or 4x4parts
  5. - Adjusted the idle to 750rpm - installed an unbroken coolant res bottle
  6. Considering getting the stainless steel Gibson cat-back. I know there are a few members on here who are very pleased with it - done a lot of searching. Do any of you have a video of what it actually sounds like? Thanks!
  7. Awesome truck. What year car is the altima fan from?
  8. He has this one too. http://www.nissanoffroad.net/messageboard/index.php?topic=9571.0
  9. Yeah I tried that. I'm thinking I may have installed the clutch plate backwards. The slave pushes the pin as far as it can go. No joy.
  10. Maybe this guys stuff? http://www.xoskel.com/
  11. This morning I finished off my vg33 install. Engine turned on just fine, timing is all set, etc etc etc. I get in to take a test drive, turn on the car in neutral, press the clutch pedal and tried to shift into first.....it won't. I can feel the vibration of the engine against the stick, but clearly the clutch is NOT disengaging when I push the pedal in. The transmission WILL shift when the truck is OFF. I used an OEM replacement VG30 Exedy clutch. The kit came with everything including a pilot bearing. The pilot bearing was VERY tight in the crankshaft, and VERY tight (shaved a little plastic off) for the clutch alignment tool. Apart from that it was just another clutch install. Didn't have any problems at all. I replaced the slave cylinder and bled it and can see it push the fork in when someone steps on the pedal. I also took the dust boot off and can see the throwout bearing push against the pressure plate spines. (That was all with the engine off by the way). Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Does anyone have any ideas before I have to take the transmission out (again, lol)? Thanks guys!
  12. Took the upper timing cover off, aligned it at TDC on the compression stroke, re-installed the distributor, put it all back together, then started the VG33E right up!
  13. Could be snake - although the fetus doesn't look like one.
  14. Those are reptilian. Turtle maybe?
  15. FINALLY got the intake manifold installed. Got all the spark plug wires but #6 - then it got dark and I gave up. Tomorrow: modify power-steering bracket, install radiator, fan, shroud, v-belts, header cross over, battery. Then turn the ignition.
  16. Oh man. Tough break! You had fun with it though! I'm thinking a WD21 would be a good next investment also. Then we could buy parts off you to pay for it. lol
  17. There were several brush/grille guards that were optional. From what I know "brush guard" means it "protects" the lights also, and grille guard just "protects" the grille. Generally a brush guard is part of a grille guard. As far as winch mounts go, I have seen pictures of a variety of guards that had a winch plate, and personally owned a factory guard that had a winch plate (no winch unfortunately). Incidentally, the winch that came from the factory was a 6000lber.
  18. Get one with a MPFI V6. More power and you have the option of swapping in a vg33 with less issues later on down the road. Saying that, there is nothing wrong with the TBIs either.
  19. Completed installing the front diff with drop down bushings and bolted the VG33 engine mounts down.
  20. Differential drop down complete and VG33 bolted in!

      I can't wait to get the 3.3 running. The drop bushing install was difficult. It is really a 2 man job, but brute force solved my issues in the end.

  21. I ended up unbolting the mounts. It helped a bit - especially since it was just me and a tranny jack.
