Yeah that's coming up, going to change the fluid once more with valvoline maxlife atf along with the lucas and see if anything changes.

 

with that Transgo in there, you're definitely gonna want that cooler in ASAP. Look around and see if anyone says 2 bottles of the Lucas fix fluid is too much.

 

I only did one bottle but the symptoms are still there. Now when I wot it, it stays at redline without shifting.. (left it there for about two seconds). Time for a new transmission.

 

new exhaust gaskets to go around, replaced knock sensor as well as replaced intake gaskets and valve cover gasket. with a nice oil change on the 2000.

 

I installed the drivers side cv shaft seal (OEM) and the passengers side too.

 

Finally lowered my car here are some before and after pics.

looks good, what spring/strut combo or coils did you go with?

 

Thanks It's Tein Lowering springs with tokico shocks

 

How is the ride from a stock standpoint? Were they Tokio blues or Illuminas?

 

They are Tokico Hp Blues they ride even better than stock to be honest with you. I have put Monroe quick struts and Kyb gr-2 on my car and the tokico blues are way more comfortable than both of them.

 

Clean! I might have to look into that setup myself.

 

I installed the Transmission solenoids I bought (USED OEM 65k) onto the valve body. Then cleaned them up and installed the valve body into the transmission.Next, I installed the transmission filter and torqued it all down. Installed the transmission pan and gasket.

 

Replaced the remainder of ignition coils today - girl is zipping along much better.

 

Past week I replaced the gear oil, fuel filter,cabin filter,hood struts and air filter.
Car needs struts and shocks,but that's later.

 

I did this a while ago but if anyone is getting like a vibration/groaning when you turn the wheel almost completely locked it's a leak in the power steering hose.

It's been doing that for years but now that the leak got big replacing the hose fixed it.
Something would vibrate like a ***** ****a when fully locked.

 

It went well, many gains

 

what intake did you install?

 

fast and furious injen

 

Which Fast & Furious? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8?

 

hell yeah bro fk that 4 banger you got em!!
Whats ur car domain dowg?

 

The SES light came on a couple weeks ago, the code was P0155 (O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction Bank 2 Sensor 1). I tested the sensor at the plug using an ohmmeter, and the heater element was open. After replacing the sensor last weekend, it's like a whole new car! Cold-engine surging/hesitation is gone, and gas mileage has increased big time. It's had those symptoms going back at least six months, so I think some other part of the sensor must have failed way before the heater. Finally... something easy to fix!

 

Had some time this weekend so I got the car ready for the summer.

- Oil change w/ MaxLife 10w40 & M1 filter
- ATF drain & fill w/ MaxLife & Lubegard Red
- Coolant D&F w/Peak Long Life
- Polished up oxidized fog lights

 

Why not just use the matic-D they suggest?

 

Fast and Furious with Tom Sawyer: Injen Joe (I know, not same spelling)

I mean, it's only a matter of time with enough sequels. It'll be like an infinite multiverse. Anything is possible.

 

Good one.

When I heard that the last F&F earned $100M on it's debut, I took up permanent residence in my underground bunker. Surely the end is VERY near.

 

added a set of 6gen wheels I found cheap. also touched up my calipers.

 

Damn, those look great. Wow.

 

What paint is that? Did you paint them yourself?

 

thanks


wheels are powder coated and I used dupli-color caliper paint on the calipers.

 

I finally got around to installing my new suspension.


Looks about right to me.


So pretty.


I wonder what size rim I can fit in there now!?

 

Looks good

 

I replaced all 6 ignition coils and spark plugs. Good to go for another 100k miles.

 

nice...you done good

 

Drilled out three stripped out Exhaust Manifold stud holes tapped new threads then inserts.
I went for the whole m10x1.25 repair deal.
Two turned out great but one didn't seat that great. I guess I could've went a bit deeper with the tap before installing the insert.
I also used a tap guide that I also use for the drilling. This made things perfect for getting the stud angle right.

 

Sold my 2000, still have the 2002, but picked up a 09 G37s

 

Installed Powerstop Z26 Rear Brakes, Rotors, and Calipers on my '02 GLE. Loving the red calipers as an accent to the black body! Thinking about getting a kit for the front next!
Next week I'm on doing a major overhaul for inspection with new control arms, tie rods (inner & outer), End Links, and my 5th CV Axle replacement (@$#!%$^! Nissan Advantage Axles), they suck!

 

pics or it ain't so...

 

I just realized the replacement return hose is just fuel line.J30R7
Supposedly I needed fuel injection hose which has a higher rates psi range.J30R9 CARB compliant
This I'll have to replace.
I'm seeing stainless steel braided fuel line for sale on eBay.
5/16" 8MM STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED PTFE Teflon FUEL HOSE LINE OIL ETHANOL 10FT | eBay
http://m.ebay.com/itm/5-16-8MM-STAIN...%257Ciid%253A8
try that for return line? It's listed as teflon

 

So I think all the smaller hoses are 1/4" on this car? Throttle coolant hose, return fuel hose, transmission oil cooler hose?
I had 5/16" which may be a bit bigger?

Anyway another "special" order!

3/8" double sided molding(moulding) tape for the wheel well molding(moulding) I removed for the new radiator support.

Changed the clutch release bearing and rear brakes today.
It's no fun for a 140lb guy to drop and reinstall the transmission while the car is on Jack stands by your self.
