A nice standard spec example there...

Let me know how you get on with the Knock Link. Couldn't get mine, not its replacment, to work. Thor replaced it with a KnockLite.

 

[Topper]

Will be a beast once you get thet engine in :nod:

2 way diff, going to be a drift machine is it??

have you started your engine swap yet ? and in which bin can i find your old sr20de

 

[Topper]

We need pictures of the swap too :nod:

Maybe your wife could take the pictures :wave:

Good question.. old engine will just decay away.. but I could sell parts from it! Or maybe put it in my father-in-law's primera!

Pictures of course... as for the second point... I think it would be akin to pouring trying to extinguish a small fire with a large tank of petrol..

OH no don't go wasting a good DE engine on a FWD :hurl: .
just let me know when your throwing your engine out the door and i'll have a big brown UPS van shaped bin for it to land in

 

[elizium]

I'll let you know Tom, but I did have another crazy idea of sticking it in an old old RWD lada "kopeyka"... would be a good sleeper - then again I think jumping on the throttle would just cause the car to turn turtle

Real question is how I'dship the engine to Ireland...

 

[elizium]

UPDATE: No longer auto

Well.. today was a good day... no more slushbox

It is like driving a completely different car. The 5m/t with the auto differential takes off quite quickly.. I think the 1 piece driveshaft also makes a noticeable difference.. No more 'gently gently' off the line..

Not a difficult project in practice.. but a lot of things were a real pain in the proverbial... things that should take minutes took hours.. then lots of bits weren't right. Easiest thing was redoing the electrical part which was the bit I was more worried about.

Can't wait until the next phase of my 'fairly rapid spec S' is completed

:clap:

 

[Topper]

Get us up some pics of it mate, good to hear you have her back on the street...... oh and the car is working well

 

[Yakozan]

nice job. :thumbs:
How long has the S15 been of the road?

 

[Feast Japan]

Great looking car you have there! Can I ask your opinion on the Yokohama DNA GP's? Not the most favorable tire in Japan, but still very good!

they aren't Yokohama's - it is difficult to find them in Russia at a 'reasonable' price... these are goodyear F1s.

How long has the S15 been of the road?

Since early summer

It's not really 'on the road' right now as I only have summer tires and winter has finally set in here... I think I'll wait another couple of weeks before driving again... Mrs Elizium is not keen on me shelling out on winter tires at the end of winter!!

 

[elizium]

For those of you following my engine buildup.. here are the most recent pictures:
As you can see from the pictures the rocker arm stopper's aren't fitted - that's because this isn't finally assembly. Engine cleaned up quite nicely though

quality of pictures is not so good.. but not dreadful. I'll hopefully have some more pictures shortly.

 

[Yakozan]

Nice

did you just clean the engine or did you paint it too?
Looks brand new :thumbs:

 

[Nicely]

Looking good :thumbs:

Did you buy Yako's old camera by any chance?

 

[elizium]

Engine was chemically cleaned and then finished off by hand.. not painted.

As for Camera work.. not my handywork... at all... maybe Yako sold it to my guy doing the engine work

 

[Yakozan]

Hows this going?
