update:


so we took my car to GMR and let my friend drive a couple runs since hes a veteran there, must say even with a shitty suspension, bad tires, and my fat ass in the car, i could see my cars potential easily...

Well as posted on my previous post i was able to survive my trip to GMR... lol

car swayed like crazy because of the shocks and it was slow uphill, but i guess thats how it is for now...

went to the junk yard... things i wanted ot find were manual seat belts from a sentra or 240 s14...didnt find either lol
but i was able to find a foot rest and the side trim cover were the fuse box is located... it was exposed and i hated not having the foot rest, and or th cover cuz i had the tendency to kickin that area exiting the car... but yay, 5 bucks later i got both pieces


picture of both pieces installed...atleast my insterior is complete now lol

ohh and funny thing, we were at the yard, and i see a 240 (same year as mine) being brought in from the back yard to the public yard and since i was the first one there i hacked this lil thing off



im thinking of just welding it on for the hell of it, dunno much about it...but since this is a beater, i dont mined experimenting with it... i am gonna get a totally new exaust and heads later, im just having some hilarious fun for now


as expected...

the bearing was bad and totally jammed...
bought new clutch fan for about 45$$$ and took about 20-45 mins to install...we were to lazy to take off the cover and wut not...biuggest problem was we broke the dam tension bolt for the alternator and had to go to 2 autozones to locate a propper fit...other wise 2 cigs later it is done ... thanks for the advice on that Evo4life... helped out alot

Clutch Fan works great...

got the Exaust installed and Sraight pipped for the hell of it...local shop charged me 45 for it... its not that bad actually...

ill post pics of the exaust installed when i get a camera

Thats great about the clutch fan. I'm glad you fixed it.

Post up vids of the exhaust. When I read you were going to weld it on, i was worried about the sound but you say it doesnt sound so bad. It's just that im so used to seeing (mostly) hondas with slap on exhausts that sound terrible (esp. in LA).

well I wish I could...but camera was sold due to money probs the sound is good for it being used...so its ok...I'm going to get it removed later and get something new

but I can get a pic from my phono wen I get a chance




woke up yesterday morning and i noticed something different about my car...it was tinted...


not tinted

tinted




it was my brothers late birthday present...

con: cant roll the windows down for another day...
pro: rite in time for summer, and i have my A/C working once again lol


noticed a slight leak on the valve cover so i took it off and bought a new gasket from autozone (round 16.00$)

when i opened her up check this out




its actually pretty clean...i checked it up and actually its pretty clean compared to other KA iv opened up in junkyard with LESS mileage...i guess it was true that the egine had a rebuild...to bad it wasnt a DOHC...cuz now im considering getting the head of a 95-98 240 DOHC KA and droping it on my block...though im still in quiestion wether the head and block will actually fit each other...from wut im told longer stroke...means more POWAH!!! lol not much but for a drop in it wouldnt be to bad...

Flohtingpoint any help on this...Evo4life ???

damn another pain in the ass today

so im driving to pull ur parts ( half off sale) and i get to the one off pacific coast HWY...i find a 300zx with calipers, basically a full conversion and VLSD at half off, i get the hubs and calipers off and forget my wallet in my car, so i hide the parts and go out and get my wallet, when i get back...parts gone.... no respect... there went about an hours worth of work....f**ken aye


so im driving back pissed, with nothing to show for except dirt and grease everywhere...and i notice my temp gauge shooting up...f**ken aye

so i get home and pop the hood, leakage!...

so time for the woprk gloves...


drained colant ( which revealed i need a flush asap) disconnected hoses, removed fan cover and radiator...

loosen tension on belt...removed clutch fan removed water pump, replace with new ( 35+ tax autozone) new upper and lower hoses and new thermostat since it was easy to get to at the moment...

hour and a half and 2 cigerettes later... and were done...

i couldnt take pics since we were fighting the sun wen it got cool enough to do the work around here...

all in all productive day, but dissappointing in junkyard

ahh so your the one that took the calipers off that 300z. lol yeah i saw that one. i was there is nsx and we were looking for a manual 13 we could steal some pedals off of, lol.

yeah but some ass monkey jacked me...

BTW mark my f**ken car broke down at GMR last night, just ask MAx he was there when it happened

oh man Dalaz you took my brakes:(
at least your 240 works the way its supposed to..

so what broke on your car?

good thing you had freinds there i guess

i coolant line that ran to the heater core i believe?!

simply put if was a pretty easy fix if someone had ductape, which no one did

but today the fuel pumnp went out, and 90 bucks later its back to working...sadly though, now theresa knock in the engine, sounds like valve problem...it never ends...

Watch that it will give you some goals : )

Overall man avoid stupid shit like 5 lug swap and stuff like that. Just keep it running. 5 lug isnt gonna give you any performance advantages. Get some Megan Coilovers or something else.

i knoe all that, my goal is a KA swap from a 95+ 240sx, DOHC and its just enough to go sidways

If i were you (which I am not) keep your engine running well and just get as much track time as you can. Parts will not make you get sideways. But track time will. Track time is more important than engine power suspension or anything else. Get out to a drift day and see what you can do! you are in socal there are enough of events out there to keep you buys for a while.

I have stock everything in my 92 and I can drive better than people with coilovers and srs and shit. GO OUT AND DRIVE!

i need my car to start first and formost....

simply put my car is dead rite now

things replaced and or fixed

new fuel pump,filter,strainer,thermostat,water pump...coil...it cranks, fuel pump is primming, but the f*ucking thing wont start...plenty of spark in the plugs, fresh new oil...

any clues

I saw your thread on NICO too. After replacing the fuel pump, was the car still working? Or did it immediately stop working after changing that pump?

The closest thing I ever encounter was not tightening the fuel line enough after the fuel filter. I guess it lost pressure and the car would crank and crank and eventually start, but never did it completely fail me.

first thing we checked, and its fione, its installed properly and there no pinches in the lines anywhere,

when the new fuel pump,strainer, and filter were installed, yeah it worked, but i park, and next thing u knoe when i go back to leave from my friends, no go...

(THIS POST WAS REMOVED BY REQUEST)

i checked the fuses, there all fine...fuel pump is brand new, we just installed it, and it pumping fine
