I had to do some shopping at the local HF for some compressor accessories before attempting to do any coating. Main one being a air regulator. These coating guns only require 5-8psi. Any who, I cleaned up the arms for the e-brake actuator and did a test run to see how it goes. I think they turned ou...

I'm pretty pumped about this purchase. I should've bought this a long time ago! The coating starts tomorrow. Tonight I got a hot date with the wife

Finally got the calipers sand blasted. The guy who powder coated my pulleys for me keeps stiffin' me. Long enough to where my already blasted arms started rusting again. I guess he doesn't want to make any money so **** him. With that said, I ordered my own powder coating kit. On the 10th of Septemb...

Small update: I decided to rebuild and powder coat my rear calipers as well. I have the whole rear end dismantled already so I figured, what the hell, whats a few more pieces? lol The S14s rear calipers come with actuators for the e-brake, which makes taking them apart a major PITA if you don't have...

Still awaiting a call back about my rear sub frame. My guess is that it'll be finished this week.

In the meantime, I had the arms blasted to get them ready for powder coating:

Looks great ! I'm jealous of the fabrication equipment/skill. Thank you. I spent ~ 2 hours cleaning the welds up. Time to get these blasted and then powder coated gold :) http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x126/insanekch/KA24DET%20BUILD/IMAG0588_zps42d5c781.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x1...

Arms were boxed last night. I'll clean the welds up later today and post some pics

Well, I dropped off the sub-frame at a local shop to get blasted and powder coated I can't wait to see it again, all fresh and shiny!

Progress update :) Got some more work done on the sub-frame. I torched out any left over rubber from the old bushings and cleaned the **** out of the bushing mount holes with a wire wheel attached to a 22K RPM die grinder. I used a air hammer to get the some of the sleeves out that Energy suspension...

Small update: The sub-frame has been completely disassembled and inspected. I tore one of the main bushings as it was getting removed from the body. It was not fun getting the stuck and rusted sleeve off of that pin in the back! I scraped off any rubber I could off of it, slapped on a pair of lockin...

Boostcreep man, it occurs when the wastegate/turbocharger combination is improperly sized and cannot dump enough exhaust gasses. The symptom is rising boost as RPMs rise, sometimes in an uncontrolled fashion. To reduce this effect, either install a larger capacity wastegate, or an exhaust turbine wi...

Yea, definitely interesting.

Grats on getting her running!

So...my friend and I are pondering the idea of making some products for the KA. I've had a few good ideas pop up in my head before for a few parts, but I haven't had the tools to execute my ideas. My friend is amazing in Solidworks and has access to a CNC machine. We'll see what comes of this in the...

I love how some of these people join KA-T just to get a quick answer. Anyways, seeing how you're asking for something impossible to judge, no pictures, not even the car mileage. I suggest you bring someone with you that knows cars very well, because it seems like you have no idea wtf you're looking ...

Yea man, we need a good cam + cam gear combo. We also need a good head gasket. I'm curious to see what they come up with!

I just came across this article on Zilvia when I logged on. http://www.tomeipowered.com/BTE/index.php/2012/10/11/tomei-insider-usdm-240sx-arrives-in-japan/ Can you imagine the reaction on these dude's faces when they took that USDM 240 for a drive? I think it would go something like this "holy ...

Hey guys, Is anyone running one of these?

Well, I just ordered the master kit from Energy Suspension. It includes the front and rear sway bar & end-link bushings as well as the front and rear arm bushings. I also saw a bushing set for the differential so I bought that too. This 18 year old suspension is going to feel so much better. I r...

I've only driven about 20 miles on them, so I can't give any long term info. I kept my front lower control arms stock and rear A arm stock and just resid those bushings. If you don't plan on slamming your car, o would definitely stay stock with es bushings. Perhaps getting the bushings set would be...

Godspeed arms are not bad, I can vouch for that. All my arms are Godspeed, and they really aren't too stiff. It took sears 4.5 hours to align my car though lol! This makes me want to change my subframe bushings, I'm too lazy though Have you driven on them yet for extended periods of time? I keep re...

I want that Jeep so bad.....

SICKSPEED TB was not a direct bolt-on. I could've modified it to fit but opted out of the decision and sent it back for a refund. I'm just going to snag a new OEM one. I'm not going to lie, I've been slacking again. The beer, friends and nice weather make me not want to stay in the garage. I've also...

Small update: Ordered a few small items: - Energy Suspension rear subframe bushings - new TPS and TB gasket from RockAuto - SICKSPEED aluminum throttle body - they are popular in the Honda world so meh, why the **** not. I'd like to fire her up at least once with all of the necessary components 1st,...
