Mike, didn't you already have a turbo S130, and sell it? And bought a car off of nismo, and look how that went :P now imagine if you buy a turbo S130 off of nismo, something will explode off the car and take your **** with it. lol. I don't trust that guy ONE BIT! especially if you see the pervert things he does on facebook.

 

uh huh... I'm the perv? I seez jou facebooxing...

 

Buy my car. Fewer seats, fewer dollaz

 

LOL....that turbo S130 was an automatic....thought I'd give it a whirl, but no dice, still kinda miss that car though. The problems I've had with the S30 have nothing to do with Nismo, its that freakin d'ship that screwed things up....it ran fine before that.

 

Lol, yeah probably, but I wanna hate on nismo. lol. I say get it running right again, it's something electrical man, I garuntee it. bad connection at the ECU or MAF issues. possibly a couple other things but those would be my top guesses. wiggle some wires. see if anything changes lol.

 

I can't find the name of those wheels, but they're obviously a mesh design. I got two sets on ebay for my '78 and '83

Here's a set on ebay right now!

This is a probably a dumb question and I'll probably get ridiculed but here goes: Doesn't boost start around a certain rpm, usually around 3000 rpm (thats what it is on the Subie)? Well the car runs fine up to 3000 rpm, though not particularly fast (no boost), but "crashes" after 3000 rpm and there is NO power. Could it be the boost just needs turned up on the manual boost controller? Thing is, I'm afraid to turn it up because I'm not certain the guage is working, and I don't want to risk damaging the engine.
I'd hate to sell this car, at a discount, and the new owner simply turns a ****, and away it goes....

 

Looks like they are Enkei Rikens. Anyway they are a little small, for what I am looking for. I would like at least 15" wheels. I wonder if they make them in that size? Thanks anyway man, for the link.

 

They make them up to 16s. I have 15s on my cars... I wanted to keep that '80s look.

 

They're ****ing Enkei 92's. it's not that hard to figure out.

Riken is a completely different brand of wheel.

 

Dude, chill with the attitude! Did somebody **** in your cheerios this morning? A simple..hey Rikens are a completely different wheel. Would have sufficed. We don't need that kind of behavior or language here. Please be civil man.

 

Cool man. Yeah 14", are harder to find tires for. My brother has that problem with his 14" Supra wheels. And the cost is more, because the selection is narrower. Anyway, 15" would be perfect for me.

 

Noooo, I really doubt it. with the boost controller all the was out it will still do stock boost which is 7lbs I think. The only possible way the turbo isn't creating enough boost is if the wastegate is stuck wide open, which I really doubt in this instance. I had a problem JUST like that on my turbo 260Z. start to rev it, and it NEVER enters boost, but at 3000rpm when it should boost the car starts to stumble like a massive miss or an anti-lag setup, except it never went over 1lb of boost lol. what it was is the wires inside the ecu connector plugs weren't secure in place so they would push out a hair and make bad connection which really screws with the signals the car needs to run right. All I had to do was literally push each individual wire inwards toward the ECU at the connection site of the ECU. I hope that makes sense... and then it would run just fine. every now and then they would wiggle out again and I just pushed em back in again. meant to get around to fixing that problem but it sold first...

 

Thats exactly what happens! Also there was a chirping noise coming from the back of the car every time I let up on the throttle. Generally when I lowered the revs back down under 3000 rpm it would start running OK again, except the last time I drove it a couple weeks ago, I tried to rev past 3000, then all kinds of noise, and it wouldn't run AT ALL. Top speed= 2 mph. Seriously. Yeah I bet its something electrical involving either the ECU or MAF.

 

well, try out checking all the connections and cleaning them on anything you can reach, then push on those ECU wires one by one till you are through all 100 or whatever the amount they are and see if that does anything. even if just for a brief period. if so, then you at least have a starting point.

 

Did you push the Turbo Bass button on the ECU?

 

I finished school, and still haven't gotten a job, so my services are free mike. lol. I don't have **** to do for weeks!

 

Less talk more walk.

 

 

That black turbo Z at the top. I got that bodykit from that Z. Which is now on my '82 slicktop.

 

 

 

Sorry snw, I just now saw this post lol! Otherwise I would have invited you down to look at it.

 

Cool stuff!!!!!!!

 

Might be late in comenting but these are some really sexy cars.
