looking for someone who has had any experience removing stuff from automotive paint my girlfriend accidentally drove over house paint on the highway somehow and it splashed up on the side of her car a little bit. does anyone know any good way to get this crap off without stripping the car paint or c...

i don't know about the throttle showing 100% on the safc but as far as it trying to stall when you hit the gas that sounds like a leak in your intake manifold might want to check your vacume #s. i know its a completely different motor but my rx7 did the exact same thing when i blew the intake manifo...

motor in http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v678/s14racing/100_0863.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v678/s14racing/100_0864.jpg and the piston causing the bad compression http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v678/s14racing/100_0868.jpg its running pretty good im just fighting with the cooling system

nope didn't blow the 3 previous motors even though motor 3 was for all practical purposes blown i was not the one who blew it. either the guy before me or the guy before him ran something on the motor. the machinist noticed detonation marks on my #2 piston(the cylinder with bad compression) and it h...

just finished building and instaling the 4th motor to go into my car. im hoping its going to be the last one for a while. motors 1. original motor pulled at 207k miles running strong only problem was a rear main seal leak 2. semi built, low comp, turbo sold for college expences 3. used motor bought ...

all the police do is hand out tix. go get a real problem and watch them show up and arrest you (the victim). happens all day where I live. I'd love to start a political action group that pushes for legislature cutting funding to police departments who do less 'real work' and more ticket writing / c...

i have run 650s with a blue emanage and it wasnt great. was running too rich at idle whatever i did. somewhere in the manual it says that the max it will controll is 150% larger than stock.

that is one of the cleanest starions ive seen in a long time if anyone is interested ive got a friend with one of those just sittin around and might sell it http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v678/s14racing/DSC00130.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v678/s14racing/DSC00129.jpg http://img.photobuc...

a pic taken a few miles outside of the tail of the dragon, for those of you who dont know what that is ive got more pics.

and i know ive got WAY too many icons, too lazy to go searching for stuff though

ok neither advance auto or autozone know what a leakdown tester is. so it looks like i will be ordering one online. however i was thinking i might be able to use the hose from the compresion tester to pressurize the cylinders with the compressor but i would have no way of keepign the pressure in the...

thats pretty cool thanks man, what would you suggest as a good pressure to put into the cylinder?

brian

the motor i am having problems with is the stock one i swapped into the car after selling the built motor.

where should i go for a leak down test and what will it run me? only dealt with compression tests

brian

i know what makes what smoke color i was asking about any way to tell if it was the rings or valves

as some of you know i used to have a turbo ka with a built motor but due to college expences i have sold the whole setup. i put a stock motor back into the car not knowing the history of the motor. and now its smoking pretty bad after it warms up when i get on the throttle. checked compression cyl #...

i started this thread to explore the possibility and advantages of an affordable fully counterweighted crank. i never mentioned anything about trying to max out the KAs revs just for the fun of it. the only thing trying to be accomplished here is to improve the harmonics of the ka which would allow ...

just extracted the rest of a snapped off exhaust mani stud a few days ago. just make sure you drill the hole the right size and deep enuff. i had been messing around with dull bits and shallow holes for hours then i decided to invest in some nice bits and it made all the difference i actually drille...

if the diff is still in the car there is somthing in the vin number of the car that will tell you if it is open diff or vlsd, dont remember what it is though

wasnt trying make anyone feel bad i was just wondering if anyone knew if this was true. i do not see why a fully counterbalanced crank would cause the motor to be un streatable. it would jsut be more stable at higher rpms from what i understand. anyways i have emailed Paul Saintclair at nismo and ho...

aparently it costs around $800 Add a zero. :lol: it costs 800?.. you couuld have new pistons and rods with a little more.. :roll: i know this i know what forged internals cost i have a built motor............. did you even read the thread i linked to. some of the guys explained the advantage of a f...

aparently it costs around $800 which aint that bad. though you have to buy the new redesigned rods, pistons, bearings and machinework. so im sure it will add up.

Anyone know anything about this. found a thread about it on nicoclub http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=149074 this was part of one of the posts that caught my attension "When speaking with Paul (nismo) the KA still maintains it's 2.4 litre displacement. Nismo has made several different c...

dont know a whole lot about advantages and disadvantages of welded diffs cuz i dont personaly have one but all the people i know who do have them say that they like them but when they have the money want to get a good 1.5 or 2 way lsd. they say if your not carefull the welded diff can cause underste...

i got my relocation kit off ebay for like $50 and everything worked fine. if i remember right it was a summit kit off of ebay but it could have been a no name brand.

supercars.net said there were 50 nismo 270R cars produced.


thats very damn rare, wouldnt mind having one

i bought it from my dads friend when he got orders over seas and parted out his car. as far as i know its genuine. are there any sure ways to tell garrett or not. ive been lookin on ebay for the past few hours and found a few ones i would consider buying but just got a bad feeling bout the whole thi...

well today i was finaly tired of looking at the little bit of smoke in my rear view. plus no more class until next week for finals. took off the dp and it was full of goopy burnt up oil, then i pulled the intake and filter off and everything looks good. check the movement in the shaft and its absolu...

mine seems to be staying constant on the amount of smoke but its starting to smoke earlier.

it used to wait for bout 5 minuts till the car warmed up and now its smoking after about 2 minuts.

yea im hoping someone knows what this is. i think its the seal in my turbo but i havnt been able to find the exact seal, all i can find is a full kit and i jsut need that one seal plus it has given me problems before. i doubt its anything in the head cuz its untouched and i didnt do anyhting to F up...
