it's been awhile since im not on zilvia much, but i'll give you the shortened version. since the last update in here, the car has been in and out of the garage.
the engine was pulled out of the old car i took the time with the engine out, to clean it up as well as replace some things. the turbo needed a good scrubbing. dirty clean old manifold versus new i made a few cuts between the runners to help prevent cracking the front wheel wells got truck bed lined and the car is now sitting with kybs on all 4 corners shitty cell pic, but the engine on a stand ready to be taken care of my paint booth engine cleaned and painted nismo mounts keegan doing wiring kyle touching up the engine bay turbo bolted to manifold the wiring in the dash area then this happened no biggie, though i just went with cs lines rad support cut to clear the fmic ic mounted ka trans with sr bell housing had the vc sandblasted (for free ) went with gloss black and some clear engine harness wiring complete and covered with sexy techflex harness off the engine the wiring diagram my optima red top replaced the rear main seal nismo flywheel on exedy stage1 ready to go on |

with the vc on, its starting to look really good
alum steering bushing and ssqv flange (returning the flange since i need a steel one ) trans dapt oil filter relocation kit new filter vs. old clutch on new exhaust studs the interior slowly going back in battery relocation trans bolted on actually had to take it off twice since this shot. the rear main seal had leaked a little since the one lower stud was loose in the cover, and the 2nd time because the trans kinda locked up. everything is good to go now though replacing the steering bushing was a bitch z31 slave cylinder sohc ps line removed 5spd swapping battery ground and power ran dohc ps lines on and finally the moment i've been waiting for....the engine is in! cut the cold pipe for the flange to mount the ssqv over there. (was originally on the hot pipe) Cody cutting the ic piping hole the ssqv had yellowed and was looking pretty bad, but i got it cleaned up like new in no time cold pipe, mocked up map light wired in brackets made for manual seatbelts b&m installed extended the plugs for the lower trans harness i also cut out the wiring for the other trans sensors besides the vss and reverse sensor the 0 ga run into the splitter |
