that photo was taken the first week i got it.. since then the the tow bars been taken off and as i said the shade will be gone once the windows are tinted which should hopefully be soon when i take the windows out over summer to repaint but might turn it in to a small window/roof spoiler
not sure what other 'junk' on it though??

I was about to comment on the tow bar, but I almost guessed you already had taken it off.

Just meant it would look cleaner without the louvers
because the ET has the body kit and spoiler the added louvers are too much, lets just say im going with the whole less is more concept

and i never said its a bad looking car.

Small update.. moved the car up to the shed, im going to melbourne in a week so when i get back it all starts going to pull the old motor out gut the interior, fix the rust, sand down and paint

While its apart im going to look in to adding a few things like power mirrors, power windows and eliminated the stupid plastic clips that hold the window to the arms , tint the windows, do a custom gauge background few other bits n pieces lol

slowly building my box of parts from the wreckers

rear low springs finally

got 2 of these slim fans so i can fit cooler once its all back together hopefully with the air con in too

yeah Astra dude. i had an N12 Astra with them ages ago but couldn't be stuffed swapping them over. it shouldn't be very hard to do though.

Yeh it will be off an astra only got the switch so far lol
as for the wiring its simple only 3 wires to each door, power and ground. I forgot the get the plug for the switch so when i grab it ill work out what colour does what

Anyone know of the inners of the motor can be swapped over from the manual to electric?? the wreckers i go to change a fortune for full electric mirrors and i was hoping you can change the insides over
either that or any one got a set of electric ones they want to sell?? lol

finally getting progress happening....
Got a tub of monza red paint, decided im going to paint it red spare of moment lol, got some gloss black left over from another car so will paint
the roof and engine bay gloss black and do the rest red

been looking for ages for either a wreck with a good motor or just the motor and box since i started this thread and finally came across this and managed to pick up lot for a bargain price....
as far as i can tell the whole motors been rebuilt recently seeing as under the rocker cover is extremely clean plus new seals
around welsh plugs water pump etc...
sumps been weeping a small bit so ill take it off and have a look underneath while im there

also had a nice surprise when i was taking the gearbox off too:)

then to find this

been reading around about lighten flywheels exploding so not sure if want to put it back in :\

picked up a sunroof too so will be putting that in when the painting is being done

Nice one. I felt bad not selling you mine. I know mine is going to sit there for some time before it's built. But glad you found a schmick second motor. Where did you get it?

Great car! Would like to see how this projekt will be

Clutch looks good...

Too bad about the flywheel. Didn't know lightened ones can literally explode!

Hey, you've got a 25M head right there! The same as my Mexico-built N/A has! This is the chance to find out the differences between the 15M and the 25M head, if you're going to take it off at some point. Gotta add it to the article about the head differences...

[EDIT: can't find the article anywhere. Has someone deleted it? The only thing I can find is a quote from it at this off-topic thread. Also found a thread where someone was asking for info about the 25M head.]

hmm good spotting...
just went out and took a couple of pics of my old head (15m) and the new one
wonder what the 25m is from over here then...?

Late model E15 N/A N12:s, perhaps? At least that's where these are to be found in Europe.

Would be interesting to see if the valves are the same size as 15M and if the intakes are high- or low-swirl. The volume of the chambers would also be interesting to know. AFAIK the late model E15 N12 Cherries in Europe got a bit lowered compression to prevent pinging, I suspect Nissan did that by enlarging the combustion chamber slightly.

interesting...
hmm afaik we never really had a late model e15 as it was replaced with the e16 for unleaded in early 86
unless the 25 is the unleaded turbo head too?!
might have to do some snooping at the wreckers
didnt really have plans on taking the head off but if i do ill look in to the internal differences

just did a google search and came across this - http://www.nissanexa.com/showthread.php ... 2-head-25M hmm
