Re: 240sxDriver's story/build

Just waiting for a tune, I want to take it to jktuning but I have to wait until my buddy is free to trailer my car out there. He is thinking mid July. Does anyone know a reputable tuner around the rochester/buffalo area? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/nvk585/Mobile%20Uploads/20140604_131142.jpg

Re: 240sxDriver's story/build

Yea the roller I built for building wheels. The size are 7x9 and 7x10 with offset of +35. I sourced the lips used cheap and polished them for temporary, hence the rattle bomb. My plans for them in the future are powder coated and stepped to 18s.

Re: 240sxDriver's story/build

I was thinking of aem and nismotronic. I'm leaning toward nismotronicttonic and having John tune the car, since his shop is 4.5 hr away. On the side note, I just got my second order in and one of my injectors seem a bit way off from the rest. Could it still be used without problems? http://i2.photob...

Re: blowing smoke during normal drive

Motors done. I guess the smoking is from blow by. Dipstick popped out and splurge oil all over the motor. Time to redo the motor and get nismotronic or completely sell all my turbo stuff.

Just got turbo back from rebuild. It does not move in and out but does have very little side to side(not not even close to hitting housing). I will take it out for a long drive on the express way one night, so ithe smoke is less noticable to the public at night.
