Installed the 2017 cluster last night. Spent way too long in a 30F car to figure out where the security programming was, but I think it was worth it in the end. Just need to order the buttons and be good to go.

How tough was the swap? That looks awesome.

Not too difficult. Hardest part was getting security programmed. Something the dealer can do very quick and easy. I just wanted to see if it was possible for people that have Techstream to do it themselves.

Unless you are changing LEDs in the cluster, than that is the most difficult part.

Video of how to program the cluster.

Picked this up from the junkyard over the weekend. Not sure if I will use it, but can't beat junkyard prices for a 2J.

New Radiator Came in:

Zer0 · 02-20-2019, 11:52 AM

That radiator looks good. What are the dimensions? Looking into doing a V mount once I get the crossmember project done.

Oil Pump came in yesterday. Will get better pictures later. Should help with the oil pressure issues. As soon as the weather quits giving us one 60 degree day and then a week of 20 degree days, I will start tearing the car apart to get everything buttoned up.

Engine is ready to come out. Ran out of time last night.

I don't think my current catch can is enough. Going to try and figure out another solution before the engine goes back in (which I hope to be next week)

This shows more build up and the flakes of nylon or whatever is woven around the trickflow hose. Super cheap and has actually worn off. Will be replacing with vibrant hose. The fibers are just from taking the intake off, they weren't actually being sucked into the intake while running.

Trans leak is still as bad as before. Plan is to try and remove just the tail housing and reseal, worst case I send it to someone to have diagnosed.

Wasn't going to do a whole lot while engine was out, but things keep popping into my head. Improved Racing Crank Scraper/Windage tray, as well as Energy Suspension full bushing kit, and Whiteline offset front control arm bushing have been added. Hopefully get everything in before next weekend.

You can't go wrong with oil system upgrades.
