nunya Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Put bolts in the holes to give the fenders a "pocket flare" look Slashjt, that sucks but at least it's all fixable cosmetics. Now you gotta cut another good bumper in half to go around your winch! Maby time to hide it behind a bumper some? Little change of looks? As for me, I broke the front ebrake cable today! Yay! bastage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qx4donald Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Installed the KYB Gr-2 w/ MD OME coils upfront. I took too long on the fronts trying to take the rotors off to have them measured and/or re-surfaced. Tomorrow - rears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I took the floor mats out and cleaned them with Spic N Span, hot water, and a bristle brush. Then rinsed 'em off. Besides the wear on the driver's mat, they look just about brand new. When I started they were all muddy, discolored, and full of dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Damn, I gotta try that. Mine are all discolored and dirty as well, I was contemplating buying new mats for $72.72 but maybe a good cleaning will restore them. Yesterday I cleaned the windows, and today a bird pooped on my glass hatch. Always happens. Edited May 10, 2011 by Towncivilian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonianwalk Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Drove it through a "hellashish" thunder storm. Looks like I drove it through the freekin' Amazon with all the mud and leaves stuck to the sides. Had to avoid two downed trees on the way to work to boot!

schro Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I finished building my hydraulic press yesterday so, last night I pressed the mainshaft and countershaft out of the transmission centre adapter plate. ...broke the adapter plate (snapping aluminum is a very ugly sound) Today I went to the local Nissan dealer and ordered a new adapter plate (Can$159.00 reg price, but the guy gave me a deal. The parts guy knows me by name now.) Part is on backorder, 2 - 3 weeks. Parts guy told me that whenever this Nissan dealer does a transmission rebuild on the FS5R30A they order a new adapter plate. I now understand why. The bearing race seat for the countershaft is fragile, and if the O.D. main gear bushing does not give on the countershaft when pressing the shaft out, then the aluminum will. Also today, started removal of all of the front side components from the mainshaft assembly. Everything carefully labelled and bagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned getting my transmission rebuilt to my local dealer (Southside Nissan in Vancouver, I assume you went somewhere else?) and they said that they didn't do it because they would charge too much and referred me to some transmission shops. I asked how much they wanted for a new transmission and t-case and they said $10000. I don't remember if that included installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
