I need a gut over haul, I think I threw a spleen, and blew a lung. R O F L K O P T E R !!!

You could get a reducer that would be welded onto your existing Cat, therefore not needing to replace your current cat.I am in the same process you are at this moment.My issue is the whole 2" vs. 2.25" vs. 2.5" pipe size. I was told on this forum by another member that going to a 2"...

ohTONYoh,Do you have any pictures you could provide us with the new front end?

:ohdamn: DOH!!!...3G GTS!!! Is what I meant...:banghead:

Yes, I Thought I made that mistake that after I posted it. I did mean the 3G GST.Thank you for catching that, and clarifying.Respectfully,

I think this is the way I am going to go with this. I would like to see mid 300's. I just don't want to crack another block. A full engine replacement was very expensive to endure.I heard the decision should be bewtwwn a Star and a Hahn.One suggestion was to go with a small turbo...

Just found another thread concerning forged internals. I did not realize this existed, was an option, or possible. Thank you for the update. I understand the low end boost is 8 lbs. What does that mean for pressure on the block? Forged Rods? Forged Crank shaft? What is the liklihood that...

Thank you Kirby. This is not TOO MUCH info. This helps alot. I am just tired of hearing about how pathetic and 2nd rate we 420A owners are. Since there seems to be more of us than than the 4G63 owners off this forum. Don't get me wrong, I behold the 4G63, the GS-T is a dream car of mine...

FNG here, Very confused. What I have = 2GRS [420A N/T] What I want = more low end power to beat petty people off the Light.The thought of owing a 4G63 in my RS is a wet dream. I don't need the high end power. This is my beloved [NON-RUSTED] Daily driver. I don't care about the money or...

^OH SNAP, I did not realize the CD copy was incomplete. Makes sense why I struggle with it. Are there any reproductions of the Factory Service Manual (FSM) available for purchase?

I am not sure but I believe by cutting that out, the aerodynamics of the car would suffer an increase in drag. Painting it black would not be too bad. IMO.

NWHTank, Thank you, this clears up alot of questions I have. I will not be able to complete this until spring/summer because of the car being out of commision for the extended amount of time.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what, why, and how does Zinc help the oil/lubrication of the engine?I understand Zinc is used to coat our drilled/slotted rotors, in order to prevent corrosion. The zinc reacts to corrosion providing a protective barrier against the rust of carbon based steel...

Why not have the musical LEDs again? How did you set that up anyway? I am currently working on having LED turn signals using LED kits that fit on the OEM DSM mirrors. Red LEDs facing backwards and White LEDs facing the front.

That is why John Spartan was called an animal. Ref (demolition man)*Correction on my previous posting* = 200gt was supposed to be 3000GT.Talonxgirl, I understand, about the bubble backend. It is more they tried to blend the 2G (Eclipse) with the Nissan Z series, and then gave a weak...

Full Synth.. Switch at any time, just make sure when you do, you have a full flush, meaning, Change oil filter, full drain, full replace. As long as you do it all at once, the remnants of the natural oil would be minimal and the blending would be a non-factor.

That would probably make it easier for me to understand. Sorry, about that. Again thank you for your time and attention in this matter.Respectfully.

Yes mam, we do think a little differently when it comes to the shapes of the backend of our beloved DSMs.:pI agree, I would like to own a 3G eclipse (GST) red or black hard loaded Standard, no way would I own an Auto. You could not give me an automatic.Not too keen on the 1G nor the...

My interior is tan ( I am giving the color for a reason). I have to pull out my current head liner. The stock kit I have on standby comes with a head liner (tan) with a big hole (where the sunroof glass goes). A smaller hole (Where the sunroof swtich goes). I have a tan moulding trim (covers...

WOW... THATS EFFIN" MESSUD UP> STRAIGHT OFF DA HOOK...YO!!!Its okay to love your DSM... Its NOT okay too LOVE yer DSM... okay fine, I am in denial.. If I wasn't happily married I would have an affair with my red head, "Miss Bitchy" Although I had my car before my wife. She understands I...

ROFLKOPTER,,, no, not me, but I will gladly own up to it, since it sounds like it fits me to a "T" at the moment.If you find the vid, please post link, I would so enjoy watching it.

I think I understand... The roof skin needs to have a "molded depression" around the edge of where the sunroof glass mount goes, for the proper fitting of the glas when closed? If that is correct then we are not simply talking about cutting a rounded edge hole in the roof, placing the trim...

I pet her, and kissed her, and told her that it is all going to be okay. One day we will take away all of the nasty dings, dents, scrapes, and boo boos, and maker her pretty all over again. Then I cried as I walked to the train and left her in the parkinglot, where mean people do nasty things...

I respect your opinion of the "Big butt" end of the eclipse versus the leaner meaner of the talon. I have a lot of respect for the Eagle DSM. But for some of us guys.... When you see a round thing in your face with an itty bitty waiste you get sprung... Baby Got Back...!!! I could swear...

I am on my second set of replacement door handles. I have purchase a fourth set and they are on standby for when this set brakes. There is a post on this forum from an individual that has a laserd copy metal reinforcement that strengthens the plastic (prone to shatter frequently) arches that...

Ok thank you for clarifying that. I didn't think there was an additional cross bar required.So you are saying the glass would need to be replaced if one was going to do a full roof replacement? i would not need to have the glass removed if I was just going to have the hole cut, frame...

I agree, One of the greatest appeals of our DSMs are the clean lines and sultry curves. It is a shame to put the bolt holes on the outside.Also how do we achieve a 15+ offset. Would that be with spacers or with a specific rim? Either way wouldn't that much of an offset negatively impact...

That kinda makes me want to cry. I can get the whole setup (Proper) from a DSM Parts dealer I trust, and have done business with for 10 years. He is also a member on this forum. I was wondering about the drain setup. Thank you for sharing that. It makes me feel better about the OEM install...

@norcal_drifter Thank you, the points you made are very valid. I was wondering if all the variables were equal would the HID be a worthy price point. Also what about the statement the HIDs can't be turned off and then immediately turned back on again without a cooling down period? That...

I have to replace my Exhaust due to it rusting all the way through. My Stainless steel muffler exploded off the pipe while on the highway. I am doing a full conversion also. Going all stainless steel 2.0" to outlet all the way to the High Flow Cat with a 2.5 Inlet & outlet. Using stainless...

This is an inspiration. Thank you for documenting your efforts. It gives m hope that I too will soon muster the courage to remove my fornt bumper, leather my ceiling and sunvisors. i am at the moment extremely intimidated by the bumper removal. You make it look easy. I hope i am as fortumate.

Thank you for this cluster diagram. My low Fuel light no longer engages and I am not sure if it is a sensor issue or the light bulb burned out. How could I test to see if it is the light bulb? Take the entire gauge cluster out or is there a simpler test I could run on certain wires?

Anthony,I watched how RCAZ did his. i am so jelous at this point. I am completely bumfuzzeled on how the LED plate was made. Why not use several rows of LED strips? I still am uncertain why the center section had to be deepened since the LEDs are used?

I appreciate the information given about the HIDs. However some information I have plowed through provides contrasting information about the New LEDs. There are H1 for Highbeam and H3 for regular lights/fog lights. ALL LEDs direct replacements. They are starting to become more common place...

How much would it cost to have a custom shop cut the hole, bolt in the OEM Sunroof frame, and drop the glass? I will be doing this task this coming summer and am curious to know what type of financial damage I am setting up for myself.I agree with the point that a hole should just be cut...

Look for Steve Miller Parts on this forum. He has alot of good parts. I have used him for ten years and he has never failed me concerning the parts. He is fair and just. I have kept my "Miss Bitchy" alive and well because of him.Thank you for this post, I was feeling as if I was the only...

What is the difference between the CD and the Hard copy? I have the DSM CD but I struggle with the electrical layout on the screeen? I ordered the Hayes so that I might have a better understanding of what I am looking at, with the help of the pictures.

I did not think of the spacer's affect on the car's stability and handling. I saw the picturs with the more subtle flares, and those appear to be more in line with the natural contours that make the 2G such a sultry vehicle in the first place.

Thank you for this link w/pictures. I have been looking for this exact information for a while.

The smaller Fogs look much better than the big fogs you had originally. Do they provide you with ample light you need for fog driving?

I wish I had an on ramp in order to go to work.. I have to stand on the accelerator to get a clean entry on a bridge that crosses a water shed. It starts at two lanes at the light, and converges to one lane about 20 feet into the bridge. Lots of angst and pettiness of people not wanting others...

Did you run the wires to the rocker switch from inside the cockpit/cabin (under the dash)? I can see how useful this would be. I find myself fighting a flashlight in one hand and tool in the other at night because I don't have time during the day to get to the car. Thank you for your...

Do you need Wheel spacers to push the wheels out to the fender flare or just purchase offset wheels?

Thank you for this, I have been looking for these as well.:thumb:

I agree with you. I prefer the smooth finish look to the rugged. This is a DSM not an off road racer.Do the wider wheels reduce roll, and provide more stability?

I am having a similar issue, hower neither of my power locks are working. I took the power lock actuators out, [currently using stock manual locks ofr the door], I bench tested the lock actuators. They fire and the arm locks. I can hear the newly installed relay under the radio click. The...

I agree with this statement. My car developed a intermittent non starting issue. Had all the sensors replaced, all devices checked out in optimal condition. After a month of fighting and several shops assisting me, it was found to be corroded wires to the fuel pump. It had a corroded...

Look for S&M autoparts on ebay. The owner of the company has been my resource for DSM parts for over ten years. He recently procured me sets of wiring harnesses for my 420A N/T so that I could convert from manual door everything to power door everything. The whole wiring harness came complete...

I am also looking into the Angel Eyes Halo with led sets. These come in two flavors HID and non HID. Both sets are straight plug and play. Although I can't attest to the HIDs brightness being effective or producing the desired effects as our esteemed collegues are able.

This quick referenece helps me get an idea on how to start on this project. However I have the sun visors with lights in the flip up mirrors. I would like a link to a full writeup if you have one readily available.Thank you for your time and assistance with this. As I am currently...
