I've had my daily for over a year now, autotragic 1986 nissan 200sx. It's actually my second s12, some of you may have seen my old red one on here with s13 front bumper conversion and custom wheel arches. I haven't done anything to my new one since I bought it (except tires) and for a while the torque converter has been about to die, it's acting quite strange. I bought a ka24de a few weeks back, it came with a lightweight flywheel and i put an exedy clutch on it. Well I was bored today so I pulled the car in the garage and yanked the autocrap ca20e. Took 4 hours, pretty good I'd say, probably the fastest motor pull I've ever done.

Lol @ the underwear. Nice to see your getting rid of the slush box now and not later. +1 on the ka24de as well. That is the engine I went with when I replaced my ca18et and I am super happy with it. I am sure you probably will be too. Keep us updated!
