S.O.S. - Signaled Out Sedan

tonyHTX · 01-22-2020, 11:16 AM

August 2019:
Found some time to install the oil cooler, filter relocation, and lines.

Trying to finish mocking up the piping.

September 2019:
The A/C lines are such a PITA - continually ordering/swapping the A/C lines. Went through about 4 or 5 lines until shelving the headache until there was more time to tackle the issue..

November 2019:
Installed RJM Tilton Master Cylinder and started hooking up vacuum lines.

Still scratching the head about this damn A/C line..

Starting to look like a car again though!

December 2019:
Finally powered through the A/C line and finished the piping.. Only to take it all off again.

January 2020:
Got the intercooler pipes back from powder, reinstalled it all, started on the tidbits that are left - boost controller, grounds, engine mounts, etc.

Pretty much as "finished" as it'll look.

Damn, Tony. You definitely have more patience than I do. I’d of scrapped the whole project after that long. Good work brother!

The A/C line issue was such a headache we wanted to throw in the towel.

But so many years and so much money has been wasted that there is no point of return with this car. Hopefully once it's moving again it'll all be worth it!

A momentous day!

Well things went ok until they didn't. I was finally able to get the car idling pretty well, but the CSC went out yesterday. Suspicion is that the fluid ate the seals since the car sat so long. This is a high probability since the MC went out, which was replaced with the RJM Tilton a few posts back. She's got to go back to her home - the lift.

That sucks. Thank goodness mine is external now.

My twin plate Clutch Masters FX850 came with it's own slave (N06052-AT), I'm not sure if the CMAK would fit the stack height. The seal issue is just a guess until we actually take things apart to inspect, not really sure what else it could be without seeing things.

My clutch is an ATS triple Carbon. It comes with an external Nissan slave from a Nissan Patrol.
