DatDoug Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Looking good Dude! I always wanted an orang rig so it would match my fram oil filter:blink: I love that 521 Asswell:D Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 nice wagon! but if i may make a suggestion? two words. load leveller. makes engine swaps a touch easier. i helped swap a motor on a 91 cressida and my leveler cut about 2 hours off the install time since we could adjsut the angles while it was going in.

fisch Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Damn this is looking so sweet! I wish you were my brother! Quote Link to comment
MidNite510 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 load leveller. makes engine swaps a touch easier. yeah know about it. it would have helped alot but i wanted it in . but going to invest in it for other engine swaps. Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 cool! i have used mine a couple times and it helps alot. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Very nice ride you got there, nice brother too. In your first few pics, what kind of ignition coil is that? Is is a later model nissan coil? Got any specs? Wondering if the use of a later model coil could clean up the original coil/ballast resistor area. Jason Quote Link to comment
MidNite510 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 yes its from a later nissan model ( sentra, maxima,and others) and it makes it clean. its a 12 vol. i'll get u the specs Quote Link to comment
