Well I have to use my foot and all my strenght to get it into 5th. I physically kick the shifter as hard as I can. There is something rattling around in my trans making it lock up randomly....
need a goddamn countershaft bearing replacement... probably too late. Trans is done, need trans and all kinds of goodies but no monies!!!!
Gonna have to keep driving it like this... cause I'm poor, as you all know that lady crippled the weebly wobbler, and I have parts orders to fill/ship.
Off to do it all again!

what did you do to your s12 today?!
oh sjit, if i was closer i would tell you take the trans from my car, If it would work, lol. Keep up the fight dude! Maybe shit will start to turn around for ya
Put another 100 or so miles on it. 5th works much better today.
Got a new battery. New wire that goes to the starter. Car starts great.
Drove it to work. Still has diff/halfshaft problem thumping with the deep throttle positions. Kinda hard to fix when I don't know exactly what it is. I'm going to continue to use it though. Just a typical day.
Haha I think I have the same prob
oil change with genuine 15208-55Y00 FILTER! i love my army of 55Y's! then realized my oil can had a hole in it so i got dirrrtay oil all on my driveway oh and cleaned the engine bay really nice n vaccumed the interior.
I took a girl to lunch in the notch today....amazing I know right?!?!
Tried real hard to figure out which one of these wires is supposed to be the constant + lead. Being colorblind makes this really difficult.

Finally took the t28 off
hope i fixed my injector leak with new o rings and fuel line and fuel line clamps
lady_s12_77 on 10:27:02 AM / 26-Jan-11Lol same here; its plain fun having both.
Though my s13 head gasket just went today. The S12 is still running strong though (so far).
I like s12s more.. but i cant deny that an s13 is just a better chassis to work on.
my car sounds like it has a massive exhaust leak after some hard driving
You probably cracked your manifold. I can get you one.
Went snow drifting in my s*cough*13. Manned up and hit a huge sweeper in the industrial district. Gangster.
Why is this thread located in the club-s12 gallery?
Dono maybe so people can post pics of their latest work? but it's popular
Its hella popular just in the wrong spot!
gonna wash, vacuum, and maybe wax her for the first time since ive owned her lol

^^^ Tongue in cheek right? 1000 HP with that abortion? Who sold you that crappy fitment/welding? Gawd! Don't install it and return it before it is too late.
Wolf Dilworth on 09:16:17 PM / 28-Jan-11^^^ Tongue in cheek right? 1000 HP with that abortion? Who sold you that crappy fitment/welding? Gawd! Don't install it and return it before it is too late.To late! but it does fill like i have 1000hp now lol
Hahaha doesn't matter is welds look like shit as long as they penetrate and do what they are meant to do.....
sideways_s12 on 11:57:13 AM / 29-Jan-11Hahaha doesn't matter is welds look like shit as long as they penetrate and do what they are meant to do.....
Yeah i didn't really see a problem with it. Looked inexpensive... that's all that really matters its a fuckin ca20.
Wolf Dilworth on 09:16:17 PM / 28-Jan-11^^^ Tongue in cheek right? 1000 HP with that abortion? Who sold you that crappy fitment/welding? Gawd! Don't install it and return it before it is too late.What's wrong with those welds? They aren't nice fancy TIG welds, but it's cheap exhaust piping, who cares! :lol:
Just sayin, real sloppy work on the fitment and crude angular joggle with big gap to weld closed...
Was this a home made piece? I sure would have told them to do it again.
But if he did not pay much and the motor is a POS then all is good... I guess.
Ca20e doesn't deserve anything fancy.....
Welds don't look bad to me. Actually I think the welder did pretty good with a bead that large to fill the massive gap from that crappy fitment job. That pipe is almost in there straight:). It'll work, throw it in there.
I took a bent lower control arm off the back of mine x.x
i havent seen my car is almost a week.. ill see her tom
installed my VR sensor

i never find a rad which fit like i want
I didn't do anything to my S12 today. I will take it to get gas for the week later today.
I bought a full fiberglass front end for my Firebird; fenders, hood, and nose. I'm thinking the idea is not crash - like what ever I do, I can't crash this thing. All combined prob weigh 25lbs.
went to were im storing my s12.. hooked the battery up and she fired right up.. idle like a dream for about 10mins then moved her, to her new resting place 10feet over haha..
thats all
put an unbent rear lower control arm on it and then fired it up and rev-tuned the shit out of it. o.o I got vids =]

DUDE NO JOKE BULLSHIT ASIDE HIS CA20 HAULS SOME SERIOUS BAWLS!
^ i didnt thank it came out that bad lol
lets see:
+or- what i did
---- ----------------
+ drove to san diego
+ got stopped by sdpd well all 5 s12s lol
- layed frame on uneven pavment lols.
+/- scraped lip moar (who cares)
+ evasive socal driving tactics with the socals12 guys
+ ran the squirrel and labluegirl against eachother vg vs ka
+ hit on hot chicks checking out car
+ did about a buck the whole way back to l.a from s.d
+ parked it sunshaded done!
ive got mine parked since the meet, might drive it to school this week with the horrible and loud ass grinding noise from the trans and the whine from the diff just for the week, until i get an A trans for Andrew2 on saturday and ill be getting an SE trans, no more 3.5k at 70mph anymore yay
Mine's making noise to. I don't know what it is. My tactic for solving it can only be described as trying to shoot a toad in total darkness with a shot gun by listening for the croaks and firing.
I bought a Z31 diff and shafts about a week ago.
I sprung for this today;http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270698965680
I hope it works. I know I cheaped out by getting used, but my budget is already shot. Hopefully rebuild kits are reasonable if I need one - I hope I don't need one.
hopefully it works out for ya, im gonna save up and look for a 3.54 diff off a turbo 84-86 z31, im not worried about torque, i need gas mileage
I got a 3.90 Z diff. It's off by a whopping 6mph at 60 and it should be like 100 more rpm to let the clutch out. Not really a major difference.
I'm still hoping my 4.11 set is good eventhough I suspect I'll like the 3.90 better. My car does like 15 in first before the motor starts screaming with revs, and 3K+ to go 65mph isn't to good. But how much stress is an in accuarte speedo worth - ya know.
i just want better gas mileage, i dont like paying for gas all the time, thats why i want a 3.54 diff with a z31 87-89 A trans, which has a taller 5th gear, but that tranny is later on.
I hear ya, I want better milage to. I'm not doing to good right now with that. But I managed 31 mpg at a constant 50 mph. I like to think when it warms up I could do that again. With 3.90s maybe I could get 31mpg at 55. I'll still be getting passed by others, but at $3.50 a gallon, they're just going to have to go around me:).
small coolant leak tuned into a bigger issue
i wish i was getting gas at 3.50...4.34 for regular.
Gas is scheduled to go above 200 a barrel in not too long. So expect $6 or more a gallon in the next couple years according to the BBC.
Just been driving my car alot still, its waiting on a new trans and new gearing for the rear end. Smoked in it a few times... that's about it so far. Probably going to use it to take me to the post office to send out parts. ;)
sorry, i meant 3.43....i saw one of the gas stations dropped the price of their gas to 3.39 on like saturday...but we havent dropped our prices yet...although, we did get a fuel delivery last night. My plans for the s12 today include picking up something to eat, and going to work. After work I am going to slide two corners and drive it home...at work expect 2 to 5 people to comment on the pokey hanging from my tow hook...just another day.
Dude I won KAAZ diff from e-mailed me and recomended I run Lucas stabilizer. I don't like the sounds of that - making me nervous. I also don't like Lucas stabilizer anyway. It's snake oil as far as I'm concerned.
Every time I go to my local Adavanced auto parts, they have this little Lucas display. The one where they have the gear sets with the little hand cranks. One gear set has regular oil, the other Lucas added. Your supposed to crank the thing and see how much better the lucas adheres. But you can feel the difference in power required between the two. I always ask the guy how much more horsepower that takes to turn the Lucas one. The response is always they don't know.
I hope I don't need a rebuild kit. I'm sucker if I do.
im getting an A trans for her on saturday, just driving her around waiting for the trans to literally blow up inside, theres loud clunking and grinding as i go above 40mph and shifting.
Thought we just had "B"s and "C"s. What cars were "A"s in? I don't know anything about VGs though.
I gave my spare "B" to a guy at work because he wanted the aluminum for a furnace project. I was thinking IDA Pontiac manifold. Since I have this clunking and and he hasn't worked on the furnace for a while. I asked for it back. I told him I could give him another trans case in return. He just needs the aluminum scrap - which I gave him alot. I now need the trans guts. He said "OK", but still has not brought it back.:(
I bet he's using it for a milling project or somthing.
Ever seem like guys with money seem to have better luck and cooler projects? - Bastards!:)
