my little build
well as some of you know i have started my build on my 2006 Z...so i figured id do a little thread with some pics of the build as i move threw it
so far its been a little crazy with trying to get time from work and getting shop space at Performance Exhaust in Pacific...(my roommate and I are doing everything after hrs)
but i have been slowly making progress...
i have:
-brand new motor (1000ish miles on it now)
-comp. stage 4 clutch and flywheel
-Defi guages (EGT, BOOST)
-AEM EUGO wideband
-APS single turbo kit
-NISMO LSD
here are some of the parts and install pics
clutch and flywheel (competition stage 4 from Forged Performance)
HKS type 1 turbo timer
NISMO LSD
APS single turbo kit
guages
guages install (not to many pics)
now on to the clutch install!
always have to start a project with a cold beer
disconnecting the plugs, starter, and clutch lines
driveshaft off
take out shifter
exhaust off
take out all the bolts
i made a little diagram so i didnt forget where the bolts go haha
hook up jack and lower her down!
look how CLEAN (gotta love brand new stuff!)
removed clutch and flywheel (look at the heat spots haha..it was pretty bad)
we used a gear puller for getting the throwout bearing off
putting the flywheel on
and this is where we snapped the flywheel bolt off...so now im at a stand still till i can get some flywheel bolts..i just talked to nissan and they said the soonest they can get it would be thursday....so pretty much i have no car/life till then haha...
anyone have any spares????

but yea, i was going off one of the DIY threads on the forum and they said to torq the bolts to 90lbs, back them off, add red locktight, then go to 93lbs....yea we coudent even get past 70 before they snapped....
so when we get the new bolts we are going to just put them at 60lbs...
