Thanks a lot guys! I really have to give huge props to Russell @ NissanParts.cc, in a non-advertising way- he is a super cool guy that has helped me out a ton, and I couldn't have gotten this thing back together without him! The same goes for Edgar at Swapped- always hooking me up!
I just ordered a hose to recirculate the BOV, so that will be here tomorrow and go on on Sunday or Monday. I can't wait to pull it out on the street... I'll for sure get some pics and video! And thanks for the anniversary well wishes too! My wife is awesome- I give her so much credit for putting up with me and this car! lol... |

That's the number one priority. "Happy wife happy life". My wife has done the same for me. Our anniversary is also coming pretty soon. I hope you enjoy yours. I'm glad your car is running again. Just like everybody, I can't wait for pics.

^ Thanks man, congrats to you too!
I still don't have the ride height right, but I will need to see it out on the street to get it perfect. I didn't plan on doing anything with the car last night, but Alicia got me/us a Cannon Rebel XT for our anniversary! Super awesome- I have wanted a nice camera for a really long time. So, naturally, I had to take some pics! I don't really know how to use it yet, so I'm sure the pics will get a lot better. I didn't even know how to turn the flash off when I took these, haha. The front coils are currently maxed out- might need to remove a collar up there: I haven't messed with the camber yet from the previous chunky tire setup out back, so that is on the list as well: Alicia showin' off her sweet ride, haha. She wanted a picture since she is the "bride" :lol:: If you see things missing our routed really poorly, they will be corrected- promise! haha Some things are just mocked up at this point: So yeah- updates with the car washed, running, and out of the garage sometime next week when I get back!

Looking cleeeeaaaaaaaannnnn, but even cleaner when you get that fresh coat of wax on! You'll enjoy the Canon once you learn how to use it-great gift!

Haha I see why you don't bring the wife to the BBQ's around here Damon, all the hard up guys there would make her feel like a piece of meat.
Car looks great, when do I get to see it in person? |

Thanks Tricky_ab!
dopplganger1, I am sorting that issue out at the moment. I bought a 1.25" flex radiator hose from SummitRacing.com to use for recirculation, but the hose ID is too large to fit on the GReddy and HKS recirculation fittings. I am not very happy with my BOV mounting, so I actually got another hot pipe and flange to have it positioned lower down the hot pipe toward the fender well. I'm thinking that if I do it that way, I can run the recirculation hose straight to the intake and there won't be any kinks in the hose. I am not sure that this is the best location for the BOV, but I might give it a shot. I agree, though- it's really frustrating trying to find a solution for that issue. |

^ For sure!
Fired it up again last night and let it run a bit longer. The fuel leak is solved, but now there was a coolant leak. I believe it is one of the lines on the head back near the firewall- the ones that suck to get to. lol. So, I need to sort that out. It was idling at about 1700 RPM even after setting the TPS, so I think the IACV needs to be adjusted. It was also idle hunting while it was running- constantly going back and forth from higher to lower. I have the injector values and MAF entered in the Power FC, but not the rest of the base tune. It sounds like a couple friends might be out next weekend to help get the timing and Power FC all sorted out, since I have no clue what I am doing, to be totally honest. I snapped a couple pictures for the hell of it, lol. Got the front lip and the sideskirt extensions installed. I just thought it looked cool in the garage with the hood up- I love how the car and the bay look, I just need it to be drivable now! lol Last edited by CamryOnBronze; 07-28-2017 at 01:01 PM.. |

Did you install a new iacv or clean out the old one? They can get pretty dirty and cause all types of issues. Oh did you send out my lights yet?

I used a used one that came with my intake manifold that was supposedly pretty much new and cleaned it before I installed it, but yeah, I should just replace it. I was going to, but they were backordered. :/

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I can't wait until it is FINALLY tuned and totally street worthy.
I totally wish mine were polished or WMB... would be sweet! And I dunno about sliding it... I'm too poor after building it to slide it, lol. I'm a hard parker at heart, but we'll see- maybe someday. |

I would have to pour a 40 out if you somehow messed this up on the track. A good friend told me something that I think about every time I hit the track... "Expect to mess something up!"
