The parts pile is growing fast.....:)

Nice. I see you went with safety wire instead of those SS ties. Good choice. If you've never safety tied before shoot me a PM with you number and I'll talk you thru it.

Hey guys new update. I got my S1-s upgraded fuel kit, my soutbend clutch, and my bb 6266 TURBO!!. Really looking forward to get the rest so I can have it put on!!

Are you going e85? Following your build and can't wait till its completed :)

Damnit just got her out today. Apparently they don't approve of sliding around corners. Let go not even a warning:happydance:

Not at this time, I will reach my goals on 93. I want to finish up the car and see my 500-550 hp and tq in the 400-450 range. My tuner has a heart breaking dyno which will show low numbers. To top it off my brother has a fully built DE and made 500 hp and 499 tq, so the goal is to beat him! He does have a super charger with keelefred high lift cams and a fully built lower end. So it will be close and I cant wait to go to our local track. On top of that, I really am a audiophile so after this build next year I will put in audio. I will go with a five channel amp and have components front and back with a sub. SQ FTW!!

Still contemplating on how I'm going to get through the firewall. Didn't you have a good method jwick?

One of these

OK officially pissed. I'm having Nissan install my clutch and flywheel. Quoted me last summer for $500. They call me this am and tell me it's another 4 hours to install the cmc. Um........from my reading on here it has to be rebuild or replaced anyways during a clutch install unless they were figuring on using the original slave for the quote instead of my HD slave. I'm pissed and confused. Cmc has the be replaced or rebuilt. Am I wrong or are they screwing me. $800 for clutch install now.......wtf

The CMC should be another hour, max. It's accessible from the top.

They are both screwing you and not screwing you.
The CMC replacement IS additional labor.
The CMC replacement SHOULD NOT take 4 hours and there is no way it says that in their service guidance. Should be an additional 1-1.5 hours.

Parts I provided were flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, HD csc, cmc, redline transmission fluid, clutch fluid and insulated clutch line. $1600 just in parts. Southbend stage 3 DD and lightweight steel flywheel. I want to see their book on cmc I agree........ Not happy

Awesome Z quoted me an hour and it ended up taking them close to three. Apparently it's a bitch to get the thing back in there.

Called another Nissan dealership they said their book hours for cmc is 1.3 hours. There WILL be a war tomorrow when I go to get the car. Book hours is book hours at a dealership. I used to work construction we only got paid what the bid was for. Same concept at a dealership far as I see it. They did say they would take $100 off 4 hour extra from original quote,........

That sounds more like it. They'll probably give you some BS that the extra labor was also because the CSC was aftermarket and it took longer to bleed. :ugh2:

Got your PM. I responded with my cell. Hit me up when you are ready to wrap and I'll talk you thru the safety wiring.

Upon picking up car today from dealership I shared with them the book hours of another dealership of 1.3 hours for cmc install. They looked into it and said I was correct and they made a mistake on the original quote...... Hmm. Anyways $600 for clutch install. Left dealership and accelerated from first light and car won't rev past 3,000 rpm and check engine and traction control light is on. Limp mode in guessing........ Pissed at this point, u turn and right back. Car is throwing crank shaft code. Called Joe at Z speed to verify correct fly and it is he said it sounds like they clocked flywheel wrong or damaged it. One pissed off mofo right now. They are still trying to figure it out:mad::mad::mad:

They could have just damaged the sensor

Wow, stupid dealerships

Well they pulled transmission again and found a bent smashed tooth on reluctor ring. Claimed they did not do damage but they contacted joe at Z speed and ordered another one and are paying for it and install.

While I was under car I did not know about damage but there appers to be a scratch on block just above and to left of crankshaft. From a tooth on reluctor ring maybe? I.e. bent smashed tooth. The metal on bent tooth was actually wiped


[IMG]http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2dotxdme.jpg[/IMG]

They did show me what they had hiding out in their back shed that they said I could trade the Z in on though.... Hmmm....$68k, 2013

Hey guys little update, I got most of the kit! I am just waiting for the Tial parts. On the flip side of that the shop i was going to go to tried to charge me 150 hour.... needless to say I said no thanks. It is a big job so I know I will have to pay a fair amount, but 150 a hour!! I am waiting for a quote from my old shop that works on Honda's, and German cars. They are 105 hour which for the area is feel is fair. What do you guys thing?

That's fair for a shop that REALLY knows that they are doing. I think my local guy is $110/hr.

You are having a shop install the whole kit?

going to be a clutch gauges, kit, wrap, fuel system and kit.

I spent $250 on good flat top Jack stands and hockey pucks I have all the tools. Starting to wish I did clutch myself. No one will take the time to do it right and do it like you would personally. Just my .02

Update! I am starting my build next week. First thing I am doing is getting the new clutch put in by a friend. The week after the kit will be installed, but I still need to find a tuner. I do have a question, what oil do you guys recommend, and if I get the base tune can I drive it to my tuner with out going into boost?

I run Rotella T6 !

Change your transmission oil now!! Do it before you slap the BP kit on. The Turbo manifold makes getting to the fill and drain hole a PIA.

Mobil 1 or rotella... N yes. When u change your clutch, get some new trans fluid in there.

Yes. The base tune will allow you to drive it to your tuner. Just don't beat on it.

This is only after you have done all your checks. Make sure your AFRs are good.

Thanks jwick for the suggestions and safety wire idea. Almost five hours worth the work here lol. My safety wire might be a little overkill but I didn't want things moving

Nice job... looks pro.

Looking good, how many feet did it take to complete the wrap?

Mine looked like that too! I bought 100' and used all of it!!

YzGyz

Looks superb

Looks good

I used every bit of my 100' roll. I needed about one more foot to finish the last piece that ties into exhaust. But that didn't really need it anyway. So don't waste any lol. Thanks guys was a tedious job but worth it....:)

Isn't a fun process but it's worth it.

Nice job!

I finished mine in about an hour thirty. How the hell did it take you 5 hours?!?! Lol

Took me a couple/3 hrs with a second pair of hands as a helper.
