Damn, I leave and this place gets crazier! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I see tofu has a new car.  Sweet!  Eleanor II is going well.  Just did all the balljoints/tie rods/ and had the torsion bars put in.  Doing the wheel bearings in a second.  Ordered KYB shocks for this truck (can you believe that?) from importcarparts.com  Going to the junkyard tomorrow to look for a 5 speed and chrome front bumper.  She's running fine, and I'm rapidly running up the credit card.  Yay!  I have a crazy video of the ball joint mess/install.  It's 15 minutes long now, but I may have it cut down and transfered if my roommate has some time.  I'll be sure the throw you guys the link.  Happy Thanksgiving for those who observe.

your truck has a 4 speed manual right now, right?

chickenmanq · 11-29-2002, 04:35 PM

Yeah, hehe, no doubt.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>  Yeah, the truck has a 4 speed.  You don't have a 78-80 5 speed, do you?  I'd like to get one.  Junkyard had one I think would work, but it wasn't marked and I need to study my tranny more and get more money too, before I pick it up.

nope. but i have an 89 5 speed for a KA. which probably wouldn't work.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Yeah.  They offered the 5 speed in 78, so it should just be bolt on and go.  Just gotta find one to stick in.
