FirstDime Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Canby was awesome, had a blast even though i was busy with my car most of the time but i met a bunch of great people and traveled up with a bunch of homies..... Had an awesome co-pilot with me too, she fed me and took care of the music all the way :wub: About 600 miles into the trip we hit Salem OR and said goodbye to my rod bearing.................... :frantics: :frantics: :frantics: the knock was so bad we decided it was best to flat bed the car the 30 miles to Canby then risk doing anymore damage to the crank........... And we arrived at Canby like this................................ :baby: 3 Quote Link to comment
FirstDime Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Once it was unloaded it was time for a beer and disassembly....... #2 took a beating :w00t: At least the crank journals looked good though :thumbup: Had Napa across the street order me new rod bearings the day before so we would have them in time. also picked up a bunch of odds and ends to get the job done. Tendril gettin a good look at my under carriage :rofl: oil pan cleaned up, looked good and didnt have any big metal chucks in it or the filter. Rag10 cut open the filter to get a real good idea of how much damage was done before we went any further, he advised it looked good and to go ahead. Added a KA oil pump also for more flow, was only $5............ got to love Canby for shit like this :thumbup: $1 for a 240z mirror in good condition, yes please... i let Kalani borrow this one for the ride home as he did not have anything....... we got my water temp in the dash all fixed and hooked up, never moved pass the E the whole way home. Also got my oil pressure gauge hooked up, reads 30 at idle and 60 when you are driving :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: kept my eyes on these the whole way home to make sure we didnt have any issues.. Made the trip home without any issues, car drove better then it ever has. Felt strong and had a great drive home. Shout out to Rag10 for getting my car fixed, without him i would have been FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also won the Hard Luck award for all our troubles :P 7 Quote Link to comment

FirstDime Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 got this shifter plate a while back, figured it was time to clean it up. Hit it with the sandblaster, then hammered out all the little dings and got a couple coats of primer on it. Looking good so far, hit it with some black next week. just ordered a new factory nissan shift boot to go with it.................. And a shot of my Friday mobile, not even my Datsun is this much fun :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment

FirstDime Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 The rebuild has officially begun... motor was tired and rings are pretty worn so out she comes to make room for the new 2.2L that Busta built :w00t: Day 1 went smooth.. Radiator needs a little love, mounting bracket was not even attached :mellow: Got some other goodies to throw on while we are at it... Mikuni 40's and intake manifold new bushings, ball joints and tie rods 7 Quote Link to comment

FirstDime Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 New addition to the family, 1992 SE-R 100,300 miles and 100% bone stock :thumbup: No time wasted getting Busta's opinion and eyes on her 4 Quote Link to comment
datphu Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Sweet SE-R! I had a '93 that looked just like that. Fun little car, but way more fun when you throw in a T-28 turbo out of a GTI-R! Some initial upgrades you could do pretty easily is to swap out the front brakes and radiator with those from a Nissan NX2000. 1 Quote Link to comment

Living in CA i feel like i cant really do shit to the motor with smog crap :angry: Quote Link to comment
FirstDime Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Days 2 and 3 of rebuild lots of cleaning of greasy parts, media blasting and painting.

thisismatt Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 NIce work. Rubber is the way to go on T/C and LCA bushings. Poly doesn't have enough give and you may end up with broken T/C rods... 1 Quote Link to comment
FirstDime Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Made some good progress Friday and Saturday, should start up tonight :thumbup: got this eibach D50 spring cut in half and then cut another 1/4 coil off and ground them down. in the process of grinding down out with the old [/url] The end result turned out great :w00t: i wasnt looking to go super low Quote Link to comment
