Hey everyone,

I know you've all missed me. I have not been able to post because I'm inbetween a move from apartment to apartment. Also, I've had a few hurricanes to dodge.

Well, I'll try to keep this on topic. My 5spd swap is finally done. I had to replace the bearings on the input and main shafts. One of them crapped out on me causing 1st and 2nd to go. At least it wasn't a gear. Those things aren't cheap.

Other than that... I got most of the wiring worked out. I have cruise control and the n/s switch up and running. Also, the shift lock and all my other features are working properly. My only problem is still the reverse lights. I haven't wired them in yet because i can't properly install a 4 pin connector. I need a special tool and some of the pins. This is the type of stuff you get into trying to convert a 8pin connector to a 4 pin. I know that i could just hard wire it but that is hard w/but connectors in the middle of the engine bay. They tend to melt.

I guess that was the least of my problems. Take it easy everyone. I will. I'll reply when i get a chance.

Lata,

Matt

 

Awesome! Good job on the wiring, you should get some new pics of, especially of the shifter (need some proof) Then let me buy it!

 

i'll try and post my reverse sensor wiring later on. you only need to use two wires to make it work.

 

Thanx guys...

I still have some leather seats for sale. Any takers DMad8724?

 

Tryin to sell my car to get a VE 5spd, hopefully itll come with leather...who knows tho...get some new pics!

 

oh now i know why your name sounded familiar.....we had talked about the leather seats and me picking them up on my drive down. wow, you still have them?

 

Yeah... I still have 'em. I arranged for sale and brought them to Orlando. However, a maxima.org member that I won't name canceled on me. I didn't live in O-town at the time so they've been sitting for a while. PM me if your interested. I can get you pix or arrange for a veiwing in Orlando.

Lata,

Matt
