damn right they're rare... you're pretty lucky to get the half-cut i think you did...!
i meant bulletproof by as cool as possible!
...meaning, radiator, atf cooler, and oil cooler... i'm working towards a good NA setup before i go turbo... might be a year or two before i think of going it... but i might NOT, as i'm never going to race this thing (except maybe up the hills in Tagaytay (
)... and i'm not ready for the humongous gas bills that DET would entail... i'm working on a line for Tomei Cams and either custom headers or PaceSetter... whichever is faster and/or cheaper... working on fabricating a CAI now...
quote me on the guage cluster, i'm still thinking... have been going ghetto due to lack of parts... get this:
due to a lack of CV joints for the axles used in my swap... i'm having the axles re-splined to accept regular sentra CV Joints (1000 each)... figure to spend the money now rather than spend weeks waiting if ever my joints give out again... (i live in laguna, and coming to the city for car work is a bitch!)
another ghetto thing i'm doing (so i might not need the gauges...) is swapping speed sensors between motors. From what i hear, the differences between gauges on JDM motors versus regular sentras is a matter of voltage... i've pulled the speed sensors on both, and they're exactly the same fit, size and gear teeth... so i'm hoping this will work!
ATF coolers can be done ghetto for around a thou or so... and at those prices, if you don't like it, you could probably chuck it! but you should definitely do one ASAP...!
So far, you're only the third guy i've talked to whose done the DET swap here in the PI... we should get those others online...
PM or E-mail me Crazy Ernie's address and phone numbet and prices, please?
...i'm dissatisfied with my exhaust, and would like new bends sometime in the future... maybe whenever i get my headers.
