blackco's 1995 P10 - $600 257k mile Beater Project

Picked this up for $600 because the previous owner thought it needed a transmission. (automatic trans) When I was originally looking at it, we got it fired up and I put it into reverse gear and it didn't even budge. There was no fluid showing on the transmission dipstick, so I was hoping all it needed was fluid.

Towed it to my Aunt's house and replaced the transmission pan gasket and filter, then filled with 7.5 quarts of fresh fluid. (only 2-3 drained out before I started :scared Fired her up and put it into reverse gear and it went in. Did the rest of the "new fluid procedure" then drove her around the block and it seemed to shift/drive ok. Got back to my Aunt's house and she pointed out that it was still leaking. Pretty heavily in fact from between the engine and transmission. Several people have pointed out it could be the transmission fluid pump seal, so I have decided to spend the time doing a 5-speed swap instead of pulling the auto to replace a $20 seal.

A/C works great though! :naughty:

Plans:

- 5-Speed swap (in progress, just a few parts left to acquire then the fun begins of putting it all in. :zoinks
- Body work w/full Nissan Primera conversion
- G20t interior (I'm picky with cleanliness, so this will be an interesting search)
- Suspension galore (coilovers, bushings, sways)
- SR20VE swap
- etc, etc.

Anyway, here she is. Please excuse the cell phone photo.
