Another 5spd swap!
Well, depending on how far the muffler shop is, I say you can do it, but keep the RPMs lowwww. If you do get pulled over, just tell them you're actually on your way to the muffler shop (I have no idea what kind of reaction that would get, but it's worth a shot).
I've had my share of electric cutouts and I could never get one to seal completely. They always leaked. I'm putting my custom exhaust back on it.
On a side note, do you guys think it would be ok to drive across town with open headers to the exhaust shop? Or should I have it towed?

It's not like a leak right at the exhaust port, I think it would be fine.
Hey I figured I'd give you a heads up regarding the pnp switch wiring. I've been having problems with my car, during deceleration, if I press the clutch, the rpm would drop rapidly, as if I turned the key off, and rpm would either bounce between 200 and 400, or it would just stall. I originally jumpered terminals 5 and 6 on the pnp switch. But tonight I ran the terminals to an on/off switch. Turn the switch to on before turning car on, then turn it off after it turns on. The problem went away.
Keep in mind though mine is a 94, so you might not have this problem. I'm pretty sure racersky and nismo4life both have a 92, and neither had this problem. But I can't remember how they wired theirs.

Well just to get this back on track...... My shifter should have been here on Friday but it didn't show up. So basically my whole weekend I have spent thinking about and staring at the car in the garage.... I'm praying that it will be here tomorrow (Monday) and I can start putting the trans in.
I ordered my driveshaft this past Thursday and they told me that it should ship out this coming week sometime. So hopefully I'll have an update on that here soon too.
I need to order a new speed sensor for the trans, because the one I have broke when trying to pull it out of the second transmission that I have... FML

Update :
My driveshaft came in today! looks good too. The shifter should be here tomorrow and then the trans is going in tomorrow night. I'll take some more pictures as I'm putting the trans in.

Update:
The trans is bolted in the car. I'm still waiting on my shifter to come in. The shifter has been a nightmare of problems with the company I ordered it through.
I made a transmission mount that lets me use the stock nissan rubber mount/bushing. It's not perfect but its good enough for the bottom of the car.
I do have a minor setback though. I went to bleed the clutch today and I cant get it to pump any fluid down to the slave. The pedal just drops to the floor with no pressure behind it at all. I, thinking the master cylinder is bad. It was used from the car that I pulled the pedals from. I guess I'll pick up another one tomorrow or monday and switch it out.
On a side note, I was thinking about the braided clutch line that I had made. I just realized that it is a 1/4 inch line. Do you guys think this would cause any problems? I dont think it would but I'm not really sure.
