Nissan B13 Restoration

[star2]

nice going man. you are really going to enjoy a refurbed car - rebuild the entire rear suspension too for that classic Nissan sunny smoothness.

btw go to the yard again and try to locate the original fender plastic liners for this car, originally they are very high quality and very nicely finished too, I noticed a lot of mud and dust on the pictures with removed front fenders which means your car had them missing.

btw get some cosmoline or body cavity wax or make some yourself - to protect your investments

Thank you @xulfiqar bhai. It is encouraging to have appreciation from you, obliged.

Rear suspension --- hmmm something we were missing, will open it up too. I think there might be some bushes that needs to be changed.

Those original fenders liners, yes sir, I got them three days back, forgot to post their pics, this mud actually seems to be mostly from the missing fender mats or what u say "chikkar mats"

Yeah when you come to know that the transmission fluid needs to be cooled through the radiator and you have to upgrade to the radiator of N16 and it costs a whooping 15,000 and also your denter says "how can I fit 3 inch long and 1 inch high radiator in this nose" ... Yes some question marks do come on your face

Not That's Not Anything New........That's For The CVT........!! Even In Normal Toyota Automatic.....There's A Separate Hose Place In Bottom Of Radiator For A/T......!! They Have Same Size radiators......A/T Will Have That House Place To Attach.....You Might Find Them In B13 Radiators For A/T As Well Or Opted For Separate Coil Cooler ...Have To Dig DEEP And Find Place To Mount But It Can Be Done

in other words you want to see it

QG18DE with CVT in B13 wow

Okay, let me think over again and sharp my tools and mind for it lol

[star2]

@ser_gtr

I think we have another small problem here, this QG18's eCU is located in the firewall, so i think we will have to measure the routings for that as well.....

[SER_GTR]

^^ Your Car...You Choice...

I Was Just Clearing Up That Thing Bugging You.....!!

[star2]

@ser_gtr

Please clear one thing more..... there is a fuse plate with which all the wiring is connected, dashboards' engine room's, my question is

can we detach that fuse plate from the N16 body ? and can put that fuse plate with wiring into our B13 instead of making the N16 engine room wiring harness compatible with B13 fuse plate ?

[star2]

One and only guy willing to spend this much on a B13, and seems, you plan to keep it with you for a decade

I always had the feeling that QG18 is never gonna be an easy go. The torque is tempting, but definitely have to make each and everything compatible to sustain this much of torque. In my opinion, Fine upto GA16/QG16 as Nissan engineers themselves had the car designed for that. QG18 takes the engineering from Japan to Pak, and you know the result............

It is actually the case with QG15 as well, but you know, you never know :).

Actually the breakup of cost is what is confusing between the two i.e. GA15DE and QG18DE plus we also have to optimize that GA15DE as well, which will eat up money as well like you normally get only air cleaner box with GA15DE and finding the original fitting for its air cleaner housing is a tough task, but things can turn both ways.

And regarding the "spending" issue, well I have not seen an original factory spec B13, which has no issues and a mechanically fit getting sold for 250-300k. Normally, you will get a beaten up engine, or may be you are lucky to find a recently ill-swapped motor in it, suspension to be built or being built recently with cheap parts or kabli shocks and many a times built body parts, and this is not what B13 is all about, its a very elegence car and I have driven one and enjoyed it a lot, very reliable, and very robust.

Secondly, yeah I do admit for my liking, we were not able to find a "very clean" car due to certain circumstances, but you have to go with the flow and make things move, in the end, all is well that ends well, so if we have a decently swapped B13 with a working QG18DE in it with all its wiring and DLC connectors and other stuff with the whole project costing 550k including car price, I don't have any problem with it as long as it gives you optimum results :). What u say ?

This sounds perfectly doable and easier, unless I'm missing something?

Some pictures of the Old companion.... on today's visit to the workshop....

Where this hell lot of oil is coming from (A)

[star2]

Not a gone case certainly, but reducing oil and giving a light bluish smoke........

[star2]

Front suspension is all out with main gadree as well...... we will inspect those closely for any bad bushings.....

@atta1111

Well, the job should be well done by the electrician community as we pay to them whatever they want, but our badluck here is that these very important professions are taken as very bad name in society and the aftereffects of that thinking is no educated persons here in the Mechanic or Auto Electrician field, those who are able, either work in companies or fly abroad, so people like me and @isbcap and others suffer due to this fact. Another fact is, you do not get enough time in your already busy routine to first sort out yourself everything, learn and apply on your car, it takes time and not everybody has this luxury, especially working class like me. Though I have a passion for cars and believe me if it would be possible I would have been sleeping in that workshop during this whole process for this B13 restoration, but life has some other demands..... hence we have to cope with it the best we can .....

Will go in morning with my electrician to take a look at things in the QG18DE wirings and stuff, let's hope i see confidence on his face as well, then surely, you will be seeing a QG swap.
