sup dude?

SoundEfx · 04-22-2016, 12:08 AM

Nothing much. Just trying to get this S14 in some what shape to drive around.

Quail · 04-22-2016, 12:47 AM

Wow, this car is fighting you every step of the way. The last owner really did a number on it.

Good to see an S14 being saved though.

SoundEfx · 04-22-2016, 08:00 AM

Thanks man. I'm determined to make it 'whole' again.

The interior is coming along slowly because of hard to find plastic parts.

I'll post pics of the colour scheme the previous owners had.

SoundEfx · 04-22-2016, 08:19 AM

So I found out why one of the rims wouldn't hold air:

That's right, THREE cracks in ONE rim.
So I'm at the cross roads of, do I fix this one or buy another set or go 5 lug, which is listed in $$$ quantitative order.

I have a craigslist ad where I'll trade these with money on top for a set of 4 lug rims.....lol

i wonder when my build thread will be approved, this forum has zero moderators maybe an admin once in a while to clean up spam...

SoundEfx · 04-24-2016, 01:59 PM

It seems to take a while. I had to PM a few of them, but when one finally responded, the thread showed up some how.

So I don't know if it's a time or approval thing.

Ok, did some work today and I must say, Nissan engineers need to be sent to Dave for some disciplining.
Those fuccers made the simple task or removing the radiator a fuccin' task.

I HATE those fuccers.

Anyway, I'm trying to clean the system out and decided to remove the radiator to thoroughly clean it.
Can't judge the book by it's cover because the outside of it looks damn good.

End result for today:

Now onto the fucced up shyt that I had to deal with.

SoundEfx · 06-14-2016, 03:58 PM

This is everything that was taken out for cleaning:

This is some of the rust that is actually built up to look like lumps, but they disintegrate into fine particles when crushed, so this gives me hope that with a good rust removal flush, I can save this engine.

SoundEfx · 06-14-2016, 04:00 PM

These are all the parts that I have to replace:

This fan has more cracks in it than a crack-house:

Probably the original thermostat:

Yes, you're seeing that right. A bolt was broken off:

A tease of the rust IN the engine:

SoundEfx · 06-14-2016, 04:01 PM

And yes, I do plan to degrease everything. It's a damn nightmare under there....
