Located in Westminster, CA
The plan was to do a motor swap to my 92 (same ka24de, but from a 97) and 5 speed conversion in a matter of days, but due to circumstances and issues of time and money, things were only completed about half way. Basically, the old motor is out, the new motor is dropped in, and that's where we are at this moment. Whats left that needs to be done is putting the manual tranny in, re mounting the exhaust, and the wiring; or that's to my knowledge (which isn't much, anyways).
The previous people who have worked on my car, Helghast, Tamtanium, i am so slow, and others, have done a spectacular job and have been doing it for free, so I haven't pushed them. I tried paying some of the people some money to get it done, but due to his personal circumstances, they haven't been able to come back and make it happen.
I am grateful for all the work they've done so far, but right now, I'm back in desperate times again. I need the car completed either this week or the next, or the city will take my car. I've been warned already for having an inoperable vehicle out in the open on jackstands (it was in my driveway sitting on jackstands, which is illegal because it is a safety hazard, so they gave me a ticket for it already; $100), and have given me 21 days to take care of the car, or otherwise, move it into the garage. They have threatened to send an inspector to my house and may possibly take it away from me if I fail to complete the car, so it really needs to be fixed this weekend. Not to mention the fact that school starts up again for me next week, which means I will need a way to get to school, as well as work. With work though, I work down the street about 2 miles, so I guess I could walk, but school is exactly 9.8 miles away, and there's no way I can walk that far without coming to class a mess. I would usually rely on my friend and pay him gas money to take me around to school and back, but now he has a job also, and can't really drive me around because of it.
If anyone is willing to help, please give me a call at 714 588 8576 and ask for Dan. I know it's short notice and everything, but I really want to get it done this weekend, preferably Saturday, April 1st. I don't really know how to compensate for your troubles, but I'll try and figure out something.
P.S. if anyone who decides to come has any manual tranny bolts, I will buy them off you, as well as a manual tranny mount. If times get desperate, I will go down to performance nissan and shell out some money to get a new one. I REALLY need to get this done. Thanks alot guys!
