Yeah that's probably it. I'd do it. Like a limo! Only you have to drive at the same time. Might need to move the pedals a bit. Something to think about.

Boom roasted! Yeah I doubt the shop thought the best way to weld the cage was to cut off the roof and make a new one. T-tops? But enough speculating...

Wowzers. I just went through every page. Looked at the pictures mostly I'll admit I didn't even eat lunch, I'm starving! P.S. What will become of the metal flares? I need some of those!

Sexy color too! May I steal?

Thanks man. Yeah I'm still pretty excited about it. I haven't even done anything to it yet, but needless to say my imagination is going wild. And even with the horrible suspension and failing interior and no a/c, it's a blast to drive. I got tunes though, So I'm happy for now. sr20 should be pretty intense though, rally?

You absolutely should.

For what it's worth, a tiny update. (I didn't vanish!) I decided to hell with making my own gauge and I got an autometer cobalt speedo.The dakota digital speedo adapter may very well have worked for me, but I was sick of sweating over it and investing more in a silly project. The gauge looks very nice though, and if the tach keeps giving me crap I'll just get the matching cobalt one, and later on three small ones. At any rate it's not such a bad match anyway. The lazer gauge has not been on my good side though so far, strike two msd! Also, not that I have money right now, but if I did, I'd spring for the fiberglass fender flares from the Z store, I recently saw that they had some without the boltholes--non zg style. I think they would look good molded in, and I could use wider tires then that are more worth the money. I'm not sure how much of a step up the ones I was looking at would have been anyway. I still have o2 sensors and fuel injectors on the shopping list, among other things obviously. They should be replaced though at any rate, not so much for upgrading purposes. I could never figure the o2 sensors out, I'm thinking the heaters don't work and one seems to read different than the other. My biggest problem is that I don't know where to get them at reasonable cost, is there any domstic nissan that uses the same ones? The injectors could be to blame for a lean condition though, and rather than get them cleaned I might just spring for bigger ones for the hell of it. There's a small coolant leak that has been boggling me forever and I'm going to get a pressure tester to pinpoint it. At first I thought it was the overflow tube or something, it seemed like it was leaking more when hot and full and subsided when low, but it looks like my imagination because I found it slowly dripping even when parked and it's coming down from somewhere on the end of the core! Seems like the darn thing had a manufacturing defect and there's a pinhole in the weld on the cap, hopefully it will turn out to be something I can get to so I can fix it. Someone owes me a bunch of money and if I ever get it back I'd like to invest in supplies to make the interior panels out of fiberglass, perhaps even sell some sets if people are interested in upgrading. The replacement ones seem to be somewhat cheaply made, and I'd like to modify the design a little anyway (get rid of the fake speaker holes and the bump that was for the emissions can, possibly make the sides a one-piece construction). I'm taking classes on composites anyway so why not put it to good use? Once again, I digress. Cheers!

I think you mean car corn...

Nice, what mods got you up to 420? Looks pretty original from the outside. Sure is purdy though

I'm trying to conceal it myself

Pretty sick man. What size wheels are those?

Looking good man! We're crossing our fingers for ya.

Ah yes. I've only been paying attention to the sensors with long shaft and pinions such as in the rb25 that are not clocked. I couldn't tell you how they engage with different sizes, but I could swear that multiple pinions will work in the same trans unclocked. At least, I thought that a given trans would have multiple combinations of gauges and final ratios... That's interesting though I even saw a few stubby pinions in that other thread and there wasn't any mention of clocking. Not all of them seem to have tabs either, so you'd have to be sure you order the right version. Having a tab on a clocked housing in the first place seems pointless because you defeat the purpose of being able to clock it when you have only one place to screw it in. I guess they designed different transmission housings around a common speed sensor, although each trans only works with one unique pinion.

I'm looking for 15x7 rims 4/114.3(4.5) pattern and +12mm offset, lest I have to buy aftermarket 5/4.5 stub axles etc. Anyone have newish/good shape Rota RB series wheels? I'll also look at any other interesting wheels of the above spec.

Are you saying the internal housing is different or the gear itself? If it's the cog, could you just switch cogs with one of the ones listed above? I wasn't aware of there being any difference between them, but we've only been talking m/t as far as i know. They don't have to be clocked to accept different gears, obviously a gear with different spline count will be a different size, and I'm pretty sure the same transmission could have come with a number of different final drives, thus different speedo gears. The only mechanical speedo that we've discussed was I believe an rb26 awd? It might be in the thread relating to the speedo pinion itself. Yes, pics will be very helpful, keep us posted.

Double

Sweet thanks!

I feel like someone answered this somewhere but I can't for the life of me find that data so forgive me... Which pinion colors correspond to which part number, ie. how many teeth does each color gear have? I want to find out which pinions went with each differential as well.

Cool reference, thanks! Do let us know.

I thought one of the key arguments is that the ls1 would be cheapish?

Can't beat it. Sounds halfway between muscle car and sports car, a good fit for the s30 I think.

Nice. I'm curious how much mine weighs now, ie. how much was added with the swap. Do you remember what it was when you first did the swap? I figure it has to be like 2500 at least.

Blasphemy! Now that it's more popular, I would think it to be cheaper, at least aftermarket parts wise. But even in japan it cost you that much? 8O I must admit I kinda don't like at all how they are becoming more popular, largely because, even though I didn't see the movie, I suspect fast and furious or whatever is to blame. It's being downplayed, and I like having a somewhat rare car with a somewhat rare engine! So are you saying you're regretting the swap, or just if you were a newbie today you would go ls1? I suppose it's okay to look back and think an ls1 would have been easier... I mean ten years wow, by that time I'm sure the buzz has worn off and you forgot how much fun all the sweat was, nothing is too glorious to never get sick of. I bet you'd miss it though huh? I miss my jeep, what a fun first car.

Holy crap! Any idea what it will do to weight etc?

NOICE! I find it's more worth it when people say wow after finding out you have an RB! RB is just more fun! I like the ls1, but someday I'll get a corvette and then it will make more sense. P.S. Don't turbocharged engines often have to compete in 2.5 times higher displacement classes or something like that? So in that case I think mathematically speaking 2.6>5.7
