Mr.James · 03-21-2008, 08:08 PM

yes sir! and theres sooo much to do still its rediculous!

DJButton · 03-23-2008, 02:03 AM

Ugh never ending car projects, two weekends in on mine and only got half the stuff we wanted to done so far... supposed to be a quick weekend job. Tearing it all apart in a couple months anyway too.

But anyhow, warm weather is on the way. I'm thinking of hosting a small cook-out meet, like pre nice weather meet, in a few weeks or so.

Mr. James, besides RHD, what are the other plans for your car?

Mr.James · 03-23-2008, 07:51 AM

i have blacktop with a few bolt ons and widebody

(old battleship wheels.)

DJButton · 03-23-2008, 02:49 PM

Wow, hot stuff man, hope you can make it out some this summer!

Jspec603 · 04-01-2008, 07:47 PM

Antihero983 · 04-06-2008, 02:44 AM

i bought a pair of mustang cobra wheels today....one needs to be fixed, and i need two more plus front 5 lug hubs.

x240xdrifter · 04-06-2008, 08:58 AM

Jspec603 · 04-06-2008, 09:10 PM

I finally got my vert outta my garage at the house and to the shop today. Hopefully it'll be on the road within the next month or so...all depends on how many late nights we want to spend on it.

Was a weekend of productivity in NH! I got my car running again, still need to figure out what's up with the DiF, fan's aren't coming on.

so it's overheating at idle, need a coolant reservoir... again! and it's still misfiring a little bit in WOT once it get to 10PSI... ugh. But aside from that, the front mount and up-pipe definitely make boost feel stronger and not running wicked rich helps too.

MunsonAuto · 04-07-2008, 08:40 AM

I'm in VT (I think I'm the only 240 in VT

I've only seen one other 240 and it was a rhd green s14???) Anyway, I'd definitely be down for any meet in New England.
I was thinking, what about Formula D in Wall NJ on June 14th? That'd be pretty sweet to get a bunch of us to roll down there. Hopefully I'll have the single cam swap done by then!!!
I just pulled my 240 out of storage saturday, worked on it all weekend, painted it Tuesday, been driving it since Thursday!

hahahaha welll ya about that. dans rb blew its rad fluid and water all over me from head to toe. while he was in the car starting it. good way to start the night off. but ya def alot of progress going on. if only i could find some parts for my sr id be in good shape, but ill be dropping the sr in tonight and doing some more work.

cant wait!

if anyone reads this and has a big turbo for sale like a gt35 or something let me know!

Jspec603 · 04-07-2008, 08:21 PM

Just got back from the shop. Did a little sandblasting in the engine bay. Have it all cleaned and ready for paint tomorrow. I also broke out the fender roller and gave it a shot. Came out decent i guess, no creased quarters, no buckles. May take the wheels back off again and try to even them out a bit. One has a tiny bit more of a lip.

DJButton · 04-07-2008, 09:11 PM

MunsonAuto:
Hmmm where in VT? You'd love going on the Kang cruises I bet!

Pat: Hahaha, DIFFFF!! Diasuke! Didn't even mess with it today, whatever, time to just get a toggle switch.
Found out one of the coilpacks is junk though, so hopefully easy fix if that's al it is, need to find one now!

MunsonAuto · 04-09-2008, 01:21 PM

Im in the Burlington-Williston area. I'd love to go on any of the cruises, I just need to get my swap done first!

Jspec603 · 04-09-2008, 09:48 PM

Let me know if you need help! I'd love to visit that area again. I used to live up in Milton when I was in grade school.

DJButton · 04-10-2008, 11:15 AM

Oh, that's not too far at all, what are you swapping in?

sillyvia13 · 04-10-2008, 11:38 AM

NH IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whazz up baby!

button I need a rb20det ecu oem hit me up! 603 5525331 russ

eastcoastS14 · 04-10-2008, 02:17 PM

anyone else enjoying the nice ass weather today? cleaned out my interior and washed it...and turned my tanabe pro sevens to soft while I was at it cause the ride has been irritating me latetly and holy shit what a difference...cant even tell I have coilovers

btw can anyone local get me an SR?? I wanna buy one soon lmk

rightcoastimports · 04-10-2008, 03:19 PM

70 degrees and sunny... this is great. too bad its gonna cool down after today.

MunsonAuto · 04-10-2008, 08:26 PM

ive got a chevy 5.3l (same as ls1, but iron block w/ aluminum heads, and it's a 5.3l instead of a 5.7l). I know GM better than Nissan, so I'd rather work on GM tech stuff instead of something like an RB w/ hard to get parts. Plus the 5.3l and accessories and what not weighs the same as the stock KA.
Please don't give me the whole "ah, that's gonna be sooo heavy" because it's not. If you believe that, do some actual research and shut your mouth.
Sorry....

Hahaha, that's the same argument I got with an RB, waaay too heavy.. Um nope and neither is an LT1 or other V8. Cool though, I wont put anything but Nissan motors in my cars, but like you say I only know Nissan's really well so it's easier for me. I'm sure it will be a hecka lot of fun. BTW RB parts aren't hard to get at all just gotta know where to look.

DJ

PS. Nice weather is freakin awesome!

MunsonAuto · 04-11-2008, 08:09 PM

It was nice here, now it's raining aaallllllll day and finally stopped about an hour ago.....
Hopefully I'll have most everything for my swap after this next weekend (18th-21st) I'm off to the Englishtown NJ car show/swap/sale thing! YAY for me! lol
