Transmission is IN!

It literally took 3 hours just to get the transmission in. Two monkeys here trying to get it in, but we got tired and decided to lower the engine down by unbolting the center c...

I installed the shifter from the top. The shifter required some fixing up to work. The junk yard broke the back two mounting holes from the rear of the shifter assembly. So I used a couple Plastic ...

BFG best compromise with life and price. They have good options for you.

makes perfect sense!

Put the center console in today. the shifter cable just barely rubs the console with the way I have modified it. It looks pretty good, but will look better with a little work!...

Got the flywheel back a few hours ago. Looks great! I got the shifter finalized and mounted in proper location. Turns out one of the rods at the end were a little bent so I had to spend a little ti...

Ok, finally got the front calipers coming. Got the right ones this time. I also have the correct knuckle on the way too, and I purchase new wheel bearings for them because they are no good.

I went...

I got the whole rear beam with all brake hardware included for $200 :D

I couldn't be happier with the rear beam. You can see it has less toe, but I have no way of measuring it.

Got the Nismo whe...

the spec V rear rotors with brembo are 11", non brembo are 10".

So... I got the "Brembo" brakes from the junk yard. Well, they sent me the wrong brakes...again. No problem, but I ordered a driver's side knuckle too... they sent me the passenger's side. At least...

I put in the whole rear beam from the 2005 spec V with Brembo package on today. It bolts right on with ZERO modification. I hear that this beam has less inward toe than the older B14 ones. Hopefull...

There is one big reason the log manifold is good... you can run T3 turbos on them.

Other than that, the stock manifold will perform very well and is cheaper. But I will say this: Use the log for...

Well, it makes me feel better that i'm not the only one breaking rs5f70 transmissions.

I like the RS3 but the RE01R is nearly R compound iirc. I don't really know what is good in tires anymore. But the RE01R is a grippy expensive tire.

i corrected the tire size. 2 are 225-45r17 the ...

The GA16 is a beast yo. It's gotta have a better transmission right?

The QG18 comes with a better transmission than the SR20. That just proves that smaller is better...

especially from the waste ...

car-part lookups for local yards. Then I go pick them up.

The autozone brembo calipers are not right. they just send regular single piston calipers. Got quotes from dealer today... $215 each, free...

The conversion for the B15 brakes parts:
Rear beam assembly, with brakes etc $200.
Front Brembo calipers $85. Rotors $85.
Stock Spec V axles, reman $160.
Pads front and rear, $80.
Front knuckles $...

If you could find one, let me know. A larger master cylinder is prob out of the question.

It will mean less pedal effort, but more pedal travel to get the clutch to release. In some cases, this could impact full release of the clutch. Therefore, I am not sure it will work.

The slave I have requires redrilling of the mounting holes. They are too small, so you need to enlarge them. The part you need is this:

bad battery connection or grounds can cause issues like you described.

Sweet guys. Well I just took delivery of my brand new axle! A whole rear beam assembly with all brake hardware (11" rotors :D) for a mere $200 bucks!

I also got new front brake calipers (BREMBO BA...

I will be trying a set of 20v when i can find them.

full tear-down unfortunately. Gotta pull stacks out of the bell housing and put them in new housing :(

Thank you Miko.
