Nissan,
It would not be smart for you to install the used halfshafts. On everyone swaps the drivers side always blows out. I have been through 2 of them myself. Get 2 new ones from pepboys and they will have a lifetime warrantee. Point being do it once, do it right.

HMmm, I just started my car up after about 4 months and its spewing out endless stream of white smoke o_o. Any idea what could be the problem? I thougth it might be some internal engine problem but maybe im overreacting.

Anyone know how to get the pully off an Eaton M90 Supercharger?

I used a pully puller and it just bent. Sux.

busy automotive day today. and it being 85 degrees will make this more fun.

1st. I am having my 20's mounted on the tires for the bmw

2nd. I have to wash the olds aurora and snap some pics so I can get it up on ebay before I cut the top off and use it as a 4 door convertible. (I was so close last night to cutting off the roof it hurt not to)!!

3rd. Go fab up the 4 inch dp/mp for the rx7 and make a coolant block off plate because I realized now that the stock turbo is off I need to block off the coolant in and coolant out. I had just blocked off the coolant out.

If anyone want to come out and play with some cars and drink a few beers tonight in the nice weather drop me a pm for directions or call me at 410-908-6249 and I can give you directions.

the more I see this pic with the blacked out wheels (already done) and the clean lines it would have without a roof almost make me wish I don't get any bites on ebay and I will be forced by God to cut the roof off.

I'm thinking of using beveled S4 N/A rotors in my turbo engine (9.4:1 C/R instead of 8.5:1). Opinions? (Myk hates the idea, but 1 point of C/R = 4% more power and economy, and faster spool :-p)



Anyway, list of current garage projects, in order of importance:

1) Port James' manifolds
2) Finish parting the upside down TII
3) Port Myk's manifolds
4) Yank engine from rightside up TII and rebiuld it
5 (Maybe) Fix up the 'vert

Side project, being worked on when I can:

1) The Vanagon!

Jason go with the lower compression rotors. The will allow you to run more boost on pump gas and also gives you a little more lee way if you get a bad tank of gas. I also think its a good idea because I know you and you don't like spend the extra 20 cents a gallon for 93 octane

The car will be running 110 octane home brewed alky

And for the TII engine, I would definitely pay for the 93 if I didnt have alky around.

You are definitely right about the bad tank of gas. I'll have to check out the condition of my TII rotors.
