Jealous man.

BoostyMcZface · 05-29-2016, 10:11 AM

well, lets put it this way... the money I make out here is funding the build, and it was 118 degrees today.. in the shade. I work in the sun. was in a 60,000lb aircraft tow vehicle towing a jet today with no a/c for an hour.. id say 130-140 degrees inside. lol its rough out here but it pays for car parts.

SoundEfx · 06-01-2016, 10:12 AM

Want to switch?
I have a/c but can't buy shyt....lol

Should be a cheap fix to you by making them fix it....

Did they put the plug wires back in the correct order?

Crank position sensor doesn't affect start up or running conditions. It merely monitors the crank angle in relation to the camshaft positions to help detect misfire.

But if it's bad, wouldn't it cause 'false' misfire readings and make the engine run like crap?
Not critiquing, simply trying to learn.

That's what I thought and asked, but no reply since.

No. The CPS changes nothing about how the engines perform.

BoostyMcZface · 06-17-2016, 08:25 AM

yea. middle east sure is fun.

off base is pretty dope. lots of money = lots of nice cars.

SoundEfx · 06-17-2016, 08:47 AM

Where do I sign up?

BoostyMcZface · 06-18-2016, 03:50 AM

right? like... can I join? when you see more brand new rolls phantoms and wraiths than you do civics... you're in a strange place. it was like it was just a normal thing to own. wtf.

Bought more crap yesterday.. Works Bell Rapfix 2 quick release, quick release lock, and short hub. Trying to get all the basic stuff done before I throw the money at a motor. Ordering Arizona Z Car front and rear BBK once they get the rear rotor hats done, and I'm gonna need to find a Q45 diff and axles.. if anyone knows anyone with a diff, I'd be very grateful. Also whoever wants to make a day trip to 425 motorsports to go sit and try out racing seats for a few hours when I get back... would be fun.

http://www.425motorsports.com/

SoundEfx · 06-18-2016, 08:36 AM

I live 10 minutes away from there, so hell to the yes.
Let me know when you're in the 425 hood.....lol....lol

Why did you pick Arizona Z over Wilwood? Are they better?

BoostyMcZface · 06-18-2016, 09:06 AM

Oo perfect! Hell yeah man. I'm gonna have a lil install party when I'm back too. Then gotta find an alignment shop.. but mid August.

Have you been to 425 before? I'm thinking Status Ring or Sparco Pro2000 / Evo. OMP stuff looks nice but not sure how comfy it is.

Arizona Z's kits use Wilwood.. Big 4 piston fronts and smaller 4 piston rears.. two piece 13" front rotors and two piece 12.2" rear rotors, and has an option so the parking brake will actuate the rear caliper like stock. Also comes with pads, stainless lines, and hardware.. everything to just bolt on and go.. he said it'll be around 2k or so, which isn't bad considering all the extra stuff is included.

SoundEfx · 06-18-2016, 01:19 PM

Ok. Cool man, let me know when.

Yeh, I've been to 425 a few times looking for a few things. Never did any work there though, but it seems as if they do some good work.

That's a damn good price for both front and rear bbk's with all those extras.

Do you mind sharing where you're getting it from? Is it from 425?

Clutch Dog · 06-18-2016, 02:42 PM

yeah hes checked the plugs, regapped them, checked the plug wires multiple times with photos to me to prove he wasnt messing them up. its a typical nissan crank no start, i think something in the ignition line is either disconnected or ungrounded, when we bought the car we knew it had an anti theft device that was taken out recently. I have a feeling ( not a good one) that its due to this. and therefore not an easy fix.

and i should have recorrected myself, the CAS, cam angle sensor on the front of the block. but i doubt its that. it could be something as simple as a bad ignition switch

BoostyMcZface · 06-18-2016, 05:13 PM

Ya definitely man well make a fun trip out of it. I was super stoked to find a shop with seats to sit in.

I'm going to order direct from Arizonazcar.com the website is outdated but the owner is a cool guy. He's big in the s30 scene so if I can bring him some s chassis business maybe we can group buy. I've heard of him doing it before. If you call him tell him Steven the deployed guy in Qatar sent ya. I've heard of him doing some great prices down to 1700 before on different forums.

And ya that anti theft could be cutting fuel or spark man. I'd check both. It cranks which is good but it could have had a dummy switch somehow wired in and now it's just closed and won't trigger a relay or something.

Clutch Dog · 06-19-2016, 06:52 PM

That is my fear, it would be something like a signal break to the ignition soleniod so pending that one wire and if its not passing a good signal it could not start it, and my roomate isnt exactly forward thinking on trouble shooting so no doubt the new plugs are fouled and the engine might be flooded. I wish i was home. being deployed sucks

I forget the brand since it's not a walbro pump. I kinda wanna try a Phase2 Motortrend fuel pump since everything else I've bought from them is pretty well made.

Lol I live 10 mins from 425 also...

I haven't seen AZC stuff mentioned on a forum since my HybridZ.org days! I dreamt of buying their whole coilovers and BBK for my S30 a few years ago, such awesome stuff when no one was offering anything bolt on 5-6 years ago.

BoostyMcZface · 06-21-2016, 12:22 PM

Yeah man I've been doing a lot of weird digging for this car and I've found some stuff that seems to have been forgotten or doesn't get mentioned. If I hadn't bought my MCA coils I'd probably have tried the AZC ones. I love S30s man, I'd love to pick one up once the 240 gets sorta completed. Do you still have it?
