well motor finally got here today. and loaded it off the pallet signed the frieght bill and it was on. i scored an authentic silvia floor mat which was on the pallet. seems that everything i needed was included(even a fuel pump and a driveshaft). i would later learn that the skyline driveshaft is longer than the oem automatic.

stock downpipe was rusted as shit.

so the plan was to remove the transmission and move that first and come back for the engine.i had it dropped off at a local autozone and the manager was cool about it.

i also scored the oem intercooler and pipes. iam going with a bigger unit so are there any takers??

awesome! what are you plans? just going to keep it stock for now?

supersayianjim2 · Feb 6, 2009

for now. i want a garett turbo cartridge and iam going to get a nismo fuel pump to start it up with. mainly iam focusing on getting the powersteering and ac to work. i have to get the rb plugs custom made to fit the car.

tight240 · Feb 6, 2009

Thats the cleanest motorset ive seen, even have the full down pipe and everything. Good snag man! Where did you buy the motorset from?

supersayianjim2 · Feb 6, 2009

jdm hot in cali. and the downpipe was rusted inside and i tossed it. as well as the oem air intake box(had japanese writing on it.

yea, those two things [powersteering and a/c] are a necessity, especially where i live.

gismonismo · Feb 7, 2009

get a chipped ECU and a FPR alone with the 276 fuel pump will give you some extra boost.Your doing the right thing my man.Get that turbo of and sale it or something man.there a P.O.S. man.lol. I have some spare parts that if they fit you can have them man.

well last night i began stripping the engine down of stuff. i think i know why it was so cheap. this isnt my first imported motor. but it has a lot of oxidation(due to sea salt) so i need to get rid of this shit. does anyone have any recommendations as to what to use?? or do i have to sand everything??

http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr317/supersayianjim/project s-rb/alt2.jpg
iam going to get the altenator and starter rebuilt(as finding a new one would be impossible) iam sure they work but for piece of mind later down the road.
there is a light coat of rust on the teeth of the pulley damper.
http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr317/supersayianjim/project s-rb/rustonpulley.jpg
and i removed and kept the belts. iam hoping to go to autozone or a parts store and match the size with another car model(likely nissan)
http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr317/supersayianjim/project s-rb/oembeltsold.jpg
heres the small stocker turbo. there is little shaft play but feels solid.

http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr317/supersayianjim/project s-rb/oem02housing.jpg
i would like to upgrade to a bigger turbo before i get the car running. but that also means bigger injectors and a afc,tunning. want to just get it running and keep it simple for now. iam going to fun a nismo fpr,and a bigger intercooler and piping,along with 3" exhaust so hopefully that will give the stock hp a bump.
then i took a peek at the timing belt. youre supposted to change it out but it looks healthy and solid. the water pump is behind the belt so i dont know if i can change one without the other"yet".

supersayianjim2 · Feb 9, 2009

so does anyone know of any good oxidizer remover?? i mean i can wipe it off with my finger but its on the turbo housing pretty good..

tight240 · Feb 13, 2009

If you want a quick turbo upgrade, see if you can find a z31 turbo, there suppose to be direct bolt up. Otherwise, i would just stick with the stocker for now. From experience, its just best to get the car running good stock first, and upgrade later.

supersayianjim2 · Apr 22, 2009

well it's been a wile but finally back on track to getting thsi thing started. my vans tranny took a dump on easter sunday. so ive been bumming and walking ever since. i will do it but i hate walking everywhere (not like n.y.c. where i can hop a train to where i need to go).
since my last post i addressed a few issues. as far as the oxidation of my metal (from the sea salt) i got these dremel bits.

SOME ISSUES that might hamper me(or maybe iam thinking too much about it..

-the oil pan. I know and small ding in an oil pan can cause pressure drop and cause a knock. when i got the motor the pan was fine. but some moving around on the pallet. and it got pushed up (a little) it looks worse in the pictures than it does in person.

i tried to manver a screwdriver(bent) through the drain hole to try to push it back down. but that didnt go anywhere. i stabbed the pick up mesh(not hard) but got some more oil to come out. just wanted some opinions on how bad the pan looks?? if worse case i can get someone to weld it from the outside and pull it out.(cross fingers it will be okay)

-Tranny grease. i used white lithium grease on the throw out bearing and the clutch fork(is that okay) i thought there was also some other kind of grease for this?? but will the white lithium be okay??

also my clutch fork after i put the tranny on is compressed all the way in(like that when i took delivery or eng. is the clutch slave supposted to be compressed already or loose??(its not hooked up to the master yet.

and finally the heater hoses. is there a feed and return?? or can i use either top or bottom with the hoses from the engine??
