All said and done most likely 4-5 k like mine

 

anyone get the name of the ebay store?

 

acurakings <- look up this user, and get all the shit you need from him. I got $600's worth in parts for only $230.

 

Joe how is the conversion coming along?

 

Me and a Nissan tuner got together today to throw in the engine since I have to move all of the crap out of my room (Only have 1.5 weeks left to finish up everything. The dude's name is Vincent. I have to admit, we dropped in the engine in record time. 30 MINUTES! Even though I installed the spacers, the hood was able to close, but there's so damn little play the engine gets. I'll have to modify the hood sometime early this summer where the engine won't interfere with the hood. This is without having the cover on the engine on. Also, I was surprised that the headers cleared the bay also, I was amazed that the engine went in well. For those who do the swap, remember one thing, to get the engine on the mounts properly when you're reinstalling it, rock/tilt the engine toward the back so the engine sits well with rear mount first, and then you can place the engine on the front mount with no problem.

Well, here's a few pics. I'll be reconnecting a few tubes and bolts tomorrow.















The Victory dance. LOL


Mario... remember that stupid engine hoist?.. check this out.. what took me 3 months to do, he figured out in 5 minutes. It would've been alot easier if we just mounted the damn thing onto the handtruck. LOL



I'll be reassembling half of the interior tomorrow (carpeting, seats, 1/2 the center console, etc.)

If anyone wants a free set of cleared out headlights, PM me!

Also, to everyone that bought something from me, your items have been shipped out recently , so please be patient. Thanks!

 

if you're free tonight, hit me up on the cell and come check it out. The engine's in

 

Dude I would love to but I will be stuck in the library till May 4th,

 

dibs on the lights if no one else has

 

Great job. Make sure to remove the VSA throttle body before you try connecting any thing up to the TB. That can just be discarded.

Also i got my manuals back so if you need them or any help let me know

 

Just to make things clear, I'm just willing to trade my cleared out headlights with anyone's stock headlights because I'm going to black them out. I'd ship my headlights to the person, and in return, they just send back their set in the same box to reduce shipping costs. Once again, if interested, PM me for details.

 

Oh and you better get some better engine dampeners, or that motor will hit the hood!

 

Ahhhh

 

why did you put the engine back in with out the tranny?

 

That can be discarded?.. SWEET! I don't have to worry about recutting my AEM CAI again. It'll fit in there perfectly. The tube/hosing that goes on the tipe stretches over the throttle body for a nice tight fit

 

Everyone's getting on my ass because school's over in under two weeks and we have to all move out of our rooms on time. Besides, to install the clutch and tranny won't be much of a problem at all since I have alot of room to do it. The 6MT's a hell of alot ligther and smaller so I have more space to bring it in from the top. I test fitted the clearance from the CL i got my parts from.

If I'm able to have time tonight after writing these papers, I'll reconnect the headers and paint my engine cover also.

 

[QUOTE=joe80055]Well guys, just came back from some car shopping. I met a guy on ebay that has an ebay store that sells alot of parts for the CL-S 6MT, so I got together with him today and bought $600+ worth of parts for only $120

Joe do you have the name of his eBay store? Thanks

 

Joe do you have the name of his eBay store? Thanks

 

look up "acurakings", and visit his store. he's still helping me find some more parts that I'll need.

 

Yep. The CL-S manual doesnt have VSA so you can take that TB off and sell it, turn it into a paper weight, or what ever you want!

 

Thanks man...keep up the good work

 

Ok I know im going to get killed for even asking this but during this conversion are you aloud to keep the regular speedmetor? I was just wondering because I really perfer the black to the white. I like how the white has little light unlike the blacks boxes lights but overall I perfer the black. So is it possible to like just discount the PRND lights and just leave the black and remember were the new redline is?

 

Um, well.. mmm.. it's possible to keep the speedometer, fuel and temp guages, and it's possible with the tachometer from what I've seen, but you'll have to modify the sending unit of the temp gauge for the new engine, that's the going to be the bitch behind the project.... I know most of this is possible, but before I say anything, I'll try it out before I swap out the old cluster for the new and then tell you my results from there.. sounds good? I wouldn't want to go ahead and give you wrong info without trying it first. More than likely, i'll just throw a silly code (happened to Mario when we swapped clusters, he has to reset his SRS now) or not, not sure. But either way, i'll try it out for you Just make sure you remind me right before I'm done with the conversion

 

The type -s isnt white. its silver

I wouldnt want the auto gauges in. The tach is much bigger for easier reading, and you wouldnt have to stare at the ugly PRND54321. But thats just my (and i think the type-s gauges look better than the black ones

 

See how much bigger the tach is

 

joe, just got back from charlotte. nice to see that things are coming along fairly well. any chance you'll be home tonight so i can check out your ride?

 

Oh thats really nice but you dont really have to do that I was just wondering if its possible and yeah I do see what you mean by that pic I guess idk I just perfer black but I could see why it would make more sense to have the CLS one.

 

its been awhile... have u finished with the swap yet????

 

Joe where u been man. Trying to call you for the last couple of days...

 

Update pretty please!

 

lol funny stuff, i was just messing around with my car today and was thinking of checking how things are going with the swap...

 

yah theres been no update for a while =[

 

Joe's MIA!!

 

Joe wrote that a couple of weeks ago so the whole "move out" process may have hampered his progress for a bit.

We're all rooting for you Joe!

Bob

 

word, good luck buddy.

 

You can do it!

 

ALL NIGHT LONG XD.. aha
