Well, after weeks of recovering from my shoulder surgery, I decided it was time to tackle the old S30 again. I drained the oil and coolant. WTF is up with the 22mm oil drain plug! LOL

Man, that oil was blacker than black. Coolant smelled like some ancient evil that finally crawled out from the belly of the earth. So now that the fluids are out, we all know what that means. The car isn't going to be starting any time soon. I got rid of the old battery knowing this a few weeks ago.

Next step is to figure out how to take out the wiring and engine bolts so I can lift the engine and put it on an engine stand.

Any and all advice is welcome and greatly appreciated!
