I am looking into the neutral safety switch, I have been doind some reading about the need to bypass this because my jeep is a manual.  I don't really know where is the best place to bypass this.  I have read that you can ground the "wire side" of the start relay at the power distribution block, but I don't know what the "wire side" is.  I have also seen some pictures on the connector with a small jumper connecting pins B to C.

I have also read that the automatic harness may have some different gounds at the PCM connector, and was wondering if that may have something to do with it.

Pictures of the underside of the power distribution, or neutral safety switch bypass would be helpful.

Other than that, it's a solid car, and runs great. Now when I say a ton of oil, I mean like a quart every 100 miles. I figured this can't be the only Sentra to ever have this problem, so I thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone had any input on it.
The new owner replaced the cats, O2 sensors, PCV Valve, and EGR valve. Oh, and it has aftermarket exhaust, or at least (like a game I like to play with my wife) just the tip.]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 12:56:52 +0000 http://neow.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=105910 Tranny swap http://neow.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=105892

A few things are different than the original.  I am using a Daytona style pinion support and an adjustable spacer rather than a crush sleeve.

So, first the larger inner pinion bearing needs to be pressed on, but I assumed the outer pinion bearing would be somewhat of a slip fit bit it is very tight, and seems to need a press as well...which leads me to question 1.

1) The adjustable spacer is a lot more "adjustable" than I thought it would be.  It has two larger spacers, and about 10 shims.  I am not sure in which order these go, exactly where they go, and how many I should start out with.  Since the outer pinion bearing is so tight, I don't see how I can remove or add shims to get the depth right without pressing the pinion out of the pinion support each time, which seems like it will wreck the outer pinion bearing after one or two cycles.

2) Why do I have multiple shims supplied to go between the pinion support and the 3rd...that seems redundant to the adjustable spacer?  Or are is the adjustable spacer what is used to set the pinion bearing preload?

3) Where do the pinion support shims go, between the 3rd and the gasket, or between the pinion support and the gasket?

This seems like a simple setup, but I can't find a very good detailed write-up that uses all new parts, everything else is based on using an existing 3rd member and just changing gears or installing a new carrier.

A 93 6bt Cummins. My question is I wanna run a overdrive auto behind it in preferably 2wd to my divorced 205. Need some recommendations. I also have the option of a older rebuilt 727/205 combo from a 6bt w250 truck. The axles will be running 4.88s with a 37-39 inch tire.

He was looking at a 3 inch spacer kit with rear shackles. Also the Rough Country with new control arms, however, there is nothing in the kit for the rear. Looking for low budget.

Thoughts??

I tried to put it back together several times but havent been able to get it to engage the outer shaft. I since found out that warn is the only company that makes an internal locking hub to go over a 27 spline outer shaft. They dont even list them on their website. I happened to still have the box the hubs came in so I have the part number for them. I googled them and found them for $175 a set on amazon.
Is anybody familiar with how these things are put together. I think I need a snap ring to hold the inner gear in place. I havent a clue what holds the middle gear and the spring in place. I'm gonna call warn to see if theyll warranty them but I dont want to wait six weeks or whatever to get them back!]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2012 03:06:24 +0000 http://neow.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=105539 Dumb Question: Silicone couplers http://neow.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=105533

I've been told a whole bunch of diiferent things ranging from it's a bolt in to you need the AA weld in mounts. I intend to keep the transmission in it's current location.

I have the ability and tools to make my own mounts, but i would rather not spend the time doing so. So if someone has done an AMC V8 swap in an early YJ - can you enlighten me as to what you did for motor mounts?

The retainer ring is half again thicker and the bearing seems like a "one piece" set up rather than two pieces, the taper bearing and the race.

If you look at the Crown pic, there is a thinnish "band" around the bottom of the bearing that seems to keep the race in place. What gives?

thanks,

  Our bikes get ridden so rarely, having all 4 carbs done on each one is nearly an annual event. And better yet, not one that I want to do so I hire my local (incredibly awesome) bike mechanic to do it.

  I've been trying to talk my wife into selling both bikes, but she refuses. 1 year she put 100 miles on hers. Most years, we're lucky to put on 1000 miles.

   Would running Stabil full time in them free me from this annual hit to the pocket and the associated PIA pick up and drop off? Any side effects?

Any thoughts or tricks to get the old one out without damaging the crank etc?

Thanks, Tim]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:03:55 +0000 http://neow.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=105334 Brakes sticking http://neow.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=105318
.

So, what can be causing the system to build/hold pressure and the peddle to act the way it does? I'm at a loss right now. I checked the temp of my brake lines and proportioning valve. The hottest spot, about 3/4 of an inch from the exhaust is around 190/200 degrees. Exhaust routing has not changed, pipes are ceramic/VHT coated, not a lot of heat coming off them. Obviously my rotors and drums are quite hot due to them being constantly engaged. Any thoughts?

Seems if it were a messed up prop valve, either front or back would act up, not both

Both master and booster have been replaced, Camaro/vette master, universal 8 inch dual diaphram booster.

Lines are all stainless, no obvious kinks, etc.

Calipers come back once pressure is relieved.

Only thing I can think of is that the brake fluid is boiling? Shouldn't be at 200 tho???]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:16:38 +0000 http://neow.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=105318 Who is running a Viar or simiar air compressor system? http://neow.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=105314 Looking into Viar and similar systems to install in my Excursion.
