Whats all this about what?

 

Eh?

As for the 240sx (KA24) TPS, it should only be used on the L28ET turbo setups. The L28E non-turbo uses all three wires for idle and full throttle switches. The turbo only has an idle switch (yes... it seems completely backwards to me too).

 

Im talking what is this "elephant oil cap"? and whats the big fuss about it? its an oil cap lol

 

I did not know this.... So that kinda swap doesn't work on the N/As? Oh well Im going with SUs anyways lol

 

SU's FTL!!! The oil cap is important because I said it's important.

The TPS don't do crap for my car, I've only heard that it makes it put a little more fuel in once you hit 3/4 throttle, and does something else for idle, but it runs just fine the way it is :P

 

lol, exhaust fail! I can't believe I was actually rockin this on my car!

from the header to my exhaust system, look how long it took the moron to connect the two pipes, and then he used a section of freakin 2" pipe!

and then this beauty was on the rear portion of my exhaust. Note how it goes from the stock 2" pipe to 2 1/4" pipe, then 2 1/2" pipe, then slip jointed, then a nice leak, and then back to 2 1/2"

needless to say, it is MUCH nicer under the car now, and I have a proper merge collector (made by me) and a 2 1/2" flange

 

So... exhaust work is exhausting, especially when you have to cut, bend, test-fit, tack, test fit, cut again, then weld, then repeat... lol all while under a car on just two jackstands (the front) and not on a lift...

I was tuckin my exhaust farther up so that I can go lower when/if I ever get my 240 coils...

Also thinkin about getting one of them oil coolers and mounting it under my front bumper... with braided steel lines and AN fittings :P

oh, and Dyno Day Saturday!!! hopin to at least get to stock ratings with all my bolt-ons :P (last year, fully stock, hit 112.9whp /facepalm, but it did have ~140ft. lbs from like 2k to 4.5k, which I thought was pretty impressive.)

 

dyno results are in!!! had a NICE gain in the power department from last year, as well with the torque. The power band is also quite a bit wider as well. my car sounded SO NICE at 6500rpm on the dyno

results comparo:
112.91whp/145.42wtq
130.49whp/152.31wtq

needless to say I'm quite impressed, right where I was hoping she would be

next year hopefully I'll have my motor built and be pushing the 200whp mark!

I'll get the vids and pics loaded eventually :P

 

got bored today so I figured it was time for the boso pipes to return:



and also an update on my ride height:

 

YAY for update, not.






won't be doin any mods for a while.

I'm alright, she kept me safe like she's built to.

I don't want to go over what happened right now, I'll let you know what happened tomorrow.

 

Omg dude... Ow.... I hope the body is still straight so that will be a somewhat easy fix.

I didn't like Vegas's traffic when I was there >.> Now I see more so why.

 

It wasn't the traffic, it was my dumbass' fault... it was in my neighborhood even...

 

Oh... I'm sorry

 

Ugh drifting accident?
At least you're okay.

 

^lmfao, I wish XD I can't even get that car sideways with those Falken's, let alone my open diff

 

Oh hahaha
So what happened then?

 

Your in luck

No update on the body work yet, but...

I got the front suspension removed!
before:

after:

(didn't want to take the calipers off yet cuz I didn't want to mess with a brake fluid mess lol)


So I got some creanin to do... the suspension parts are so covered in grease and what's left of the boots on the ball joints it's not even funny... New ball-joints shall be put in, as well as tie rods, along with all new poly urethane bushings (even though the old ones don't look that bad, but they're still 30 years old lol). Suspension pieces will be powder coated in a copper color, and 240SX coils shall be adapted to my spindles

 

You never did say what happened to your Z

 

I got in an accident, that's all that matters now lol

 

Ok you win lol

 

Yeah Ian you never even called me to tell me what happened... If you need any help I can see what i can do for ya. I also have a spare 120mph gauge face you can have. In case you want to do a custom one of some sort.

 

lol naw, I'm good, I think I'm just going to focus on rebuilding the suspension/header so I can haz moar lowarrrz for when I get my wheels (my dad says my priorities are waaay out of whack because I want to order my wheels before I get the body fixed XD )

The only thing that I'd most likely need help with would be the body damage, which is probably going to get handled by my dad's good friend/body guy up in Tonopah assuming it's not too much to fix it. Then I'll fix it myself lol

 

YAYZ finally decided once and for all wheel/tire sizes!

14x10 -45ET with 195/65-14 Falken 912 tires

 

I guess no one likes stretching, eh? lol

Time for a bit of an update I guess, not much of one since I haven't really done anything, since I need to order parts still lol

control arms before:


during:


and finally after:




and that's the worse of the two. lol

Also bought this as an impulse buy, hopefully it's being shipped right now lol
