Hey gang, I picked up the goods from JDM-P tonight, and as soon as I pick up some other items I intend to get it under way. This isn’t gonna be soon, probably late August, but I’d like to see who would be interested and able to help me out. I can’t really offer cash, but any part that isn’t on my car when we’re done, you can take, and I’m going to feed you. I don’t need a lot of people for this, but it’d be great if someone with a good selection of tools came, b/c I do not have pretty much anything.
This is the stuff I have, and I’ve heard that only two holes need to be drilled and it’ll just fit on my S13 (all of these parts are off an R32):
30mm aluminum calipers, rotors, pads, hubs
2 pot rears w/ what appears to be most of the rear suspension and everything.
I’ll also be grabbing a Z32 MC and the lines from Bing’s GB.
If you’re willing to help, post or pm, or add to msn.
I did the swap and what I posted in the thread above is all you need.
Nothing complicated about it. Just the grunt work and the metal sleeves
(or drilling your sturts) is about the only complicated thing.
PM me when you need help. Or others PM him if you want to help.
In that case, lemme add the info required:
I live in Woodbridge, it’d be near the end of august, and I prefer weekend, but I can take any day off for this.
Eek… I noticed one more thing while reading through the FAQ. It does not include REAR brakes, and it says it’s a PITA to do them :noes:
Has anyone here done rears as well?
Okay gang, I’ve got the wheels, and I’m picking up the brake master soon, can anyone that wants to help, please post their availability, so I’ll know when to take days off work.
Not too sure what kind of tools the job requires, but I will be picking up the electric impact wrench… if I can find it… so far I’ve had some difficulty locating it on their website, I think I’ll just call in and ask. Just tell me when you can come and if you can bring some tools that you think are necessary, since I have very little on hand.
Ehh… considering the nature of this and my general prepared-ness when it comes to doing car things, I’d much rather wait till someone that knows wtf they’re doing shows up and tells me what to do step by step. I mean, it doesn’t LOOK all that difficult, but neither did everything else I’ve ever done on the car, and it all turned into a long ass painful job that broke some other part of the car that I also was left to fix. So I’ll just wait for you, or whoever else knows how to do this to come and be like: “pick up that wrench over there, and unscrew that nut” Otherwise everything will go to hell and my dad will hang me for making a mess out of the garage.
Solarian:
Do you have all the parts, tools, and services needed that I mentioned?
If so, then you really don’t need anyone’s help. It’s not all that difficult.
I mean if I can do it, you can do eet.
Seriously dude, assuming you’re all prepared, its’ all just comes down
to removing nuts and bolts. :o
As mentioned earlier; I’m gonna be tight for a few weeks. If you don’t
mind waiting, then I’ll come give you a hand on a weekend in the future.
I don’t mind waiting as long as I know that someone will eventually come And I’m gonna go pick up the ball joints & electric impact wrench in the meanwhile, so I should be set to go whenever you’re ready.
Hey ladies, I’m starting this today, and I wanted to know if anyone knows a shop that is open weekends where I could get my front balljoints pressed in, rear hubs pressed out then in?
Okay… this crap is a nightmare… Can anyone PLEASE show up tommorow that has done this before and help out? I hate this f*in car… Everything is rusted together and seized, and my impact wrench is too big to get into a lot of places.
And I’m gonna go pick up the ball joints & electric impact wrench in the meanwhile, so I should be set to go whenever you’re ready.
