The truck ran good till about mid 2011. while driving from work back home the truck started shacking bad and shut off. once again the truck stat, after saving up for a few months I decided it was time for a full rebuild. I started around December 2011 and got the truck up and running late January.
finally got it out
and like always start taking parts apart while waiting for parts
also found this, the pilot bushing
a little degreaser and magic
didn't like it blue so black it was
making a diagram helps out a lot more than you think
after parts started coming in every thing started moving a long. while putting the engine back together, I sent out the trans to get rebuilt
finally got the engine back in
new clutch
waiting for parts i decided to pant my valve cover, now just need to get a new nissan Z sticker
a little more paint and it was back to daily driving
then i started doing little things. i ended up buying a mooneyes steering wheel and shift knob to go with my 280z shifter, did the radio relocation and stuff.
started to get wheel play and after looking found this
so i figured if im doing ball joint, tie rod, bushings, and shocks why not get some of these
after that i also ended up lowering the rear, and this is how the truck sits today.
