Z-ya Later!

Olderpic Here are some before and after pictures of the engine. In June of 1997, the complete engine was replaced. We started with a remanufactured block from Nissan. From there, everything from the airflow meter, to the exhuast manifold was replaced, or rebuilt, with no exceptions. Many of the pieces under the hood have been painted green, and/or black, to add color under the hood, for shows.

Engine Before Engine After

HELP!- I’m having some synchronizing gear problems with my tranny. I keep breaking them! I broke 2^nd gear last spring, and now I broke the 3^rd gear ring. I am looking for a way to fix this problem permanently. I am going to go with a Centerforce II clutch, an HKS flywheel, and a short-throw shifter, to help shift more precisely. I would like to know of some upgraded synchro gears though. If anyone knows of any way to help me out here let me know. E-mail me at rb@flash.net, and title it "SYCNCHRO."
