HizAndHerz Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Three-day half-price sale at the two Houston PAP locations. So, what cool things did you Houston area folks get? For me, it wasn't that great since I could only get to the NW location and they had just a three Nissans of interest, a 76 280Z, an 84 Maxima and an 82 ZX. I had a huge list with stuff like blower motors and wiper motors, 240SX TB, but wasted a lot of time Wed trying to pre-pull stuff. In the end I got a spare crank damper and crank washers, a spare T/C rod, a donut spare tire, and a spare L4N71B 4-speed overdrive auto tranny off an '84 Maxima (a steal at $50!). I wanted the head off that car but the engine had been abused. So, anybody got anything cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Did you get the flexplate and TC with that tranny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 84 maxima? as in l24e? I think I saw that one there (assuming were talking about the same maxi) about 2-3 months ago. The camshaft was rusted when I got to it, so i didn't take the head either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HizAndHerz Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Did you get the flexplate and TC with that tranny?Hey, Darrel. Yep, got everything for $50. I was only needing the flexplate since my wife's Z grinds occasionally when starting up. Since I had to pull the tranny to get the flexplate off, it made sense to just buy the whole thing. I'm thinking I'll rebuild this spare auto tranny and swap it in when I rebuild the engine. My understanding is that the clutch packs can be rebuilt to "turbo" specs. The 4N71B is a solid little transmission and has been used in various forms in a bunch of different cars over the years (Nissan trucks, vans, Pathfinder, Starion, Mazda RX-7, 929, Miata, MPV, ...) BTW, I never fixed the early shifting problem, but I have a couple of spare modulator pins of different lengths to try out. It shifts okay if you're heavy on the pedal. 84 maxima? as in l24e? I think I saw that one there (assuming were talking about the same maxi) about 2-3 months ago. The camshaft was rusted when I got to it, so i didn't take the head either.Probably not the same car. The yellow 84 Maxima I looked at arrived the last week of October and is heading to the crusher tomorrow. The camshaft didn't look too rusted but the car looked like someone had driven it with more oil on the outside of the engine than on the inside. Huge mess getting anything off that car.
