At last!!! Time for an update:

Went with a friend to get some stuff for his truck, and he got me this nice little close ratio ZX 5 speed. We cleaned it up, and stuffed it into my truck. The old 4 speed was on it's way out. Lots of input shaft play, and leaking like a sonovabitch.

I cleaned it up a bit while he pulled the 4-speed out. Flipped the transmission over, and dumped about a quart of water out followed by some purple mess. :geek: (Royal Purple gear oil I guess?) We flushed it out and it came out pretty clean. Put it back together, and voila! Monkey has overdrive. Althouth, the reverse gear is making a hell of a noise, and popping out of gear, so this one will be rebuilt/replaced soon.

ALSO, you guys may enjoy this:

we went and picked Daniel up a nice L28 and some goodies today near Stone Mountain, to transport to his fab shop. Got there and turns out I met the guy a month or so ago at a meet.



The easy way to unload from a trailer... when you have access that is!





So now there's a donor L28 for this pig, and it should be done VERY soon. Within a few short months hopefully.

Probably one of the coolest parts of the truck is the bedsides, mounted on 4WD hubs that rotate the bedside out for easy access :thumbup:

Also, he's got a pretty quick L28ET Maxima with fresh coilovers :thumbup: Just needs spacers in the front so he can go lower.

Looks like you have had a eventful weekend thus far sir!

[metalmonkey47]

For sure man! Couldn't have done it without my buddy. Was great having an extra expert hand. The 5 speed is going to make a nice difference.


Probably gonna order my ZG flares after Christmas.

Yeah man, makes a HUGE difference. He was pretty damn quick to get it all apart while I was cleaning up the new transmission.

But I don't expect any less from one of Forged Performance fabricators Datsun is a lot simpler then the GTR's he works on all day

Yea that's a helluva understatement haha. I should be getting my truck drivable and then we should do a photoshot since I'm no good with a camera it seems like

Just wanted to say I poked my laptop screen like four times because of your sig. Now my screen is all fingerprinty. Thanks.

hahaha epic. I forgot I did that and was just flicking at my screen. Fail






BTW, I washed my truck. Cleanest it's been in a long time. We also wetsanded my camper, and the fiberglass is sooooo nice now. No more muck stuck to it. But more on that later...



It literally, has not shined like this in months.

[BigRuss]

soo clean

Free taco.... tomorrow

[milano_red]

Ohh so clean!

[metalmonkey47]

It's official, but about mid-January I'll have my flares. I just gotta wait until after Christmas to order them. Also planning wider tires for the rear. 225/50/15. The stretch and tall sidewall is obnoxious.
