Just Clearing My Head...

The long delayed 6spd project is finally about to go down... Sometime in the future... See note below... I'm pretty excited and scared @ the same time because this mod features a "POINT OF NO RETURN" so if I mess up I could be stuck w/o a car for awhile.... Anyways, I've come to terms with that and now I have to just focus my time and energy on reassembling the transmission correctly and make sure this goes as smoooove as possible.

Anyways, here's a quick price list of my swap...

Swapping a 6spd HLSD Transmission from a 2003 Sentra SE-R Spec V into a 1999 Maxima SE-L....

Parts that I've brought for this project

$105 Maxima Bellhousing and a Final Diff

$300 Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel

$43 '03 Maxima Pressure Plate (Brand new)

$86 New Clutch Disc (G35/350z 6mt clutch disc)

$42 6spd Cable Shifter

$213.15 Spec-V Transmission

$17 Clutch Fork/TOB+Bolts+Slave Cylinder

$142 6spd Mount, 04 Maxima oem shift knob and bolts.

$37 Starter from an '03 Altima

$40 Custom Timing Ring, Sentra shifter cables, flywheel bolts

Side Project: Poly Urethane Suspension Update

While the car is in pieces why not take advantage of this and update the suspension? Plus my bushings are blown so my car is literally ALL OVER the road whenever I get on that gas... and that ain't cool.

$40.95 ES LCA Bushings 

$17 ES Anti-Sway Bar Bushings

$61 Ball Joints
$22 Anti-Sway Bar End Links

Anyways, expect the next post soon as it will be full of pictures and details as I try to attempt a "How-to" on this stuff....

Random: I also purchased a brand new Diamond Audio D3 12" Sub via ebay for $59, that's my "Good job boy" present to myself... the box and amp will be my victory celebration after the swap.

[Edit]
6spd is postponed until further notice, ran into some things today and I did not want to continue w/ this project because there is NO going back once I saw off my old transmission/motor mount. So I'm going to wait until everything is purffffect.

But I did do the side project and man does my car feel AWESOME!!!! I highly recommend anyone who corners hard to make sure they keep the front end of their car properly maintained.
