Finally got some time to myself and was able to finish up the motor.
I will not use any sensors that came off this motor and will take them off my
known good running motor that is on my car now. The motor ain't pretty from the
side since the previous owner had let it sit in his backyard.

Here are some pictures of the finished product

Clean bead of Nissan RTV every where












Now as always a question



The little bolt that is all the way to the left is that suppose to be anywhere on the motor?

The one between the 2 stamp marks I just put it there for now until I compare it to my other motor

 

Awesome bro looking good

 

Thanks Danny
I got the motor sling yesterday


The small plug I was pointing to is the front drain plug
I should have looked closer at the Service manual but I thought
it would be as obvious as the other drain plugs

 

Thinking of doing a leakdown test tomorrow or Thursday.

Any Advice?
What kind of numbers should I be looking at with a cold motor?
Drop of oil on each cylinder before performing the test on a particular cylinder?

 

well on a fresh motor what exactly are you looking for?

i wouldn't worry too much what the numbers are as much as how consistant each cylinder is.

It will probably have a high leakdown since the rings aren't seated to the cylinder walls yet.

 

I would wait to do a leakdown until you have 500-600 miles on the motor. If it runs smoothly and doesn't burn any oil, I would wait before any leakdown or compression testing.

Build looks good!

 

Bump. Whats the status of the physical car? Body shop or is that transformation all done?
summer time is here and we gotta roll down to Z-Day my friend.

 

^ It's going

Just shot a sample of the color today and I'm liking it

 

Are using a fiberglass front bumper?

If it is urethane, it seems that it would be hard to get the bumper to fit to the flared front fenders.

 

These are the pieces I'm using
No Urethane here or I wouldn't be able to do what I have to do

 

looking very good homie.

 

It's gonna look great, I'd only change the mesh to black.

 

Started on pulling out the motor on Tuesday and cleaned the engine bay so it can get sprayed.
Wednesday did some suspension work and also did the solid differential bushing (Which I think took me longer than pulling the motor).



On Saturday I started moving things over from one motor to the other and continued doing the same on Monday. I found some disturbing things such as the driver side manifold missing the lower to 2 nuts and a sizable exhaust leak. You can see the exhaust leak in the second picture.




I have moved almost everything over but have to remove the passenger side wastegate because the power steering bracket bolts will not go on. I still have to move over the lower oil pan and spacer for the oil pick up and flywheel, install the Southbend clutch/pilot bearing/throwout bearing then reinstall back into the car.

Those with the Pathfinder mod how in the hell did you get the connectors for the water temp sensor and cam sensor connected since they are practically touching each other?

Also for those that were able to remove the bottle neck for the Greddy Evo TT what did you have to do? did you cut the bottleneck and weld a 2.75" Flange or did you expand the small bottleneck then weld on a 2.75" flange?

I'm even thinking of sending the pipe to Forged Performance just so they can remove the bottleneck

I would also like to thank my local shop MC Tires for letting me use their lift for 2 days and space for me to do this work

 

Car is coming along nicely Gio!! Cant wait to see the finished product.
