coltboostin Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Good call on the Royal Purple, that's what I run in mine and it shifts like butter. Butter as in locking you out of 2nd and sometimes 3rd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex L. Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I was not sure if you ever had it sorted out. Had it shifting like a bauce then the clutch went out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller11386 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I have heard that the RP does a good job in the V160 on S, and it is obviously much more readily available compared to the 'yota fluid. So that is the route I took. I just mocked up the tripod and shifter for some dry shifts, and she felt pretty good. We will see if the synchros are still in this JDM pos when she starts rolling around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miller11386 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Time for an update... Key was very tempermental, key was bent, and was not smooth, So I opted to swap it out. http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a440/miller11386/2013-03-22_18-09-31_794_zps7d67f41e.jpg The dash has to be pulled apart, key inserted and turned to the ACC postion to allow the lock button to be depressed. Then they key and cylinder should just pull out... since mine was full of metal shavings and debris, I needed vice grips and to pry out the cylinder lol Here is where the button is that needs depressed to pull the key cyl out: http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a440/miller11386/2013-03-22_18-09-53_833_zps5b972abe.jpg Now my new nightmare... wiring! Got a 6 speed harness and found that the wire tuck that was done previously has a lot of the items integrated. So its a matter of figuring out what has been done and what needs done. I am by far from a good wiring guy, so this is the biggest challenge for me... http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a440/miller11386/2013-03-22_21-57-06_102_zps6593da71.jpg I installed my LQ9 coil kit and got it all ready to integrate in the harness. http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a440/miller11386/_facebook_286219098__zps8afd9912.jpg eye candy pic of the coils and brackets http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a440/miller11386/2013-03-23_12-08-11_906_zpsc4b41613.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miller11386 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 After a mock up and test fit this past week, I was able to take a solid 10 hours yesterday and modify the engine harness to what I need. Nothing like paying big bucks for a stock harness then just cutting to death!

Green Bastard Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 ^ ugh wiring, that's the part I'm not looking forward to on my project. Yours looks excellant though. When do you expect it to be driveable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller11386 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 my wiring is far from excellent lol. I am hoping to start it up here soon. Then interior needs put in and some of the switches need put in place. Then she needs to visit Alex L for some fabrication and finally hauling it out to SP for a tune. I wont be driving it much until that point. Hoping to wrap it all up in time for the good weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 my wiring is far from excellent lol. It may be in your opinion, but it is definitely a lot better than most people are capable of. The whole build looks phenomenal, keep up the good work. Excited to see this run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
