so, after the brand new clutch was installed, i snapped a shifter cable a few weeks afterwards. unknowingly, at first, the parts i needed were discontinued, and came at a premium price, ie. $280 & $310+tx respectively. i would have prefered new parts, but i was able to source out a parts car for a fraction of the cost, and Oliver & i went to work
took us a couple of hours to remove, but it was really fun
Big-Ups to Oliver (Oreo) for all his work, and LJ Auto Performance, again for guiding me along the way

these were the cables that needed to be replaced:
and here is our beautiful & respected parts car
funny centrecap in the parts bin, lol
PITA to get to them, had to rip apart the car and through the firewall
new shiftercables
the Maxima also went in for surgery, and got a heart transplant:
OUT: 92 SE +300, 000km
IN: 94 3.0L V6, only 70, 000km
$1200cdn through LJ AP.
before:
hoodless
ouch, missing something
new heart
the engine smoked up white at first, and smelled like it was mixing coolant, but after clearing it out a bit and adjusting some sensors, loose ends and a few other things, she is breathing healthy once again
feels good to be back in the driver's seat, i didn't enjoy being without my car very much, but i didn't mind seeing all the hot lil chickies on the bus
