2G NT Rebuild

[Chrispittman]

so I've decided to keep my car and instead of junking it I'm going to be rebuilding it and de-ricing. I blew a head gasket and so I've decided to just completely rebuild the motor. I've already ordered parts and started taking apart the motor. I figured I'd make a build thread on here so if I ran into any problems I could have somewhere to ask my questions. I will try to post lots of pics.. wish me luck.

this is what it got towed into the back yard as...

Hope to have the motor out sometime this weekend.

If anyone had any advice also that'd be greatly appreciated... things I might run into. My goals for this car isn't power if I needed that I'd get a gsx. I just want a nice, solid, dependable daily that looks clean. Most the parts I've ordered and are going to order are just OE spec but still should be fun.

Good luck, here is a good website to help you 2GNT.com - A_Proper_Rebuild
. Also While I enjoy the stock 2GB bumper I dont think your car has much rice on it. With a paint job would look rather clean.

i agree with fotown your car's not to ricey, just make sure you follow the specs as perfectly as possible, i found that out the hard way good luck with the build

thanks guys, yeah I dont' think it's THAT bad but I do love the OEM look. I just took that kit off today. I also got tired of rocking my torn seats with seat covers so I got some leather gsx seats today

This is how much unneeded and ridiculous amount of wires I had random ran everywhere.

got the motor to the point of pulling but it got dark.

That is alot of wire that was just sitting around. If I had to take a guess, most of it came from a stereo system that was probably just ripped out

leaking

looking at that coolant/oil, its either a really jacked up head gasket or something is cracked (head/block)

 

[Chrispittman]
