This is bullshit. 3 Nissan Skylines, 2 r33s and one 700whp r34 show up at my mitsubishi meet but I cant get any local 3/s to show up. What the fuck!
And I got angry at my car for its lack of boost
I swapped in a high flow cat thinking it would help quiet down cruising but it didn't at least not noticeable enough. My other option is to install a 3.5" resonator or swap out the aeroturbine mufflers for something quieter but that involves cutting and welding so I'm going to put the old 3" exhaust in despite it necking down to dual 2.5". I'm not making enough power right now for it to be an issue anyways.
I also installed the Skillard fuel/brake line cover. Very easy install and a nice product. My plastic protector was all jacked up. Now if only the rest of the car underneath looked new. :)
Sounds like what I did when I replaced my engine mounts. I forgot the bracket at the bottom of the rear precat, and installed everything (radiator, ic pipes, heat shields, etc...) decided to leave the exhaust for last. Went to bolt on the downpipe and knew instantly why the downpipe didn't fit. Horrible day.
Attachment 3956changed out my spark plugs and gapped them to .25. Then, I installed my new broomfield tcase. was being stubborn to get on but damn its nice!
Drove it for the 1st time in about 6 weeks. Had to get it transported on a truck from Cairns to Melbourne. Then it sat for a few weeks cus I was too busy and the battery went flat. Jump started it and went for a drive. Now I need to find time to install new turbos, intercoolers, injectors, fuel pump..... the list goes on.......
Could've had my shit end of the stick when I round up a meet here... I get civics, preludes, and ricers of all kinds, not one boosted car, not one above 350hp. All I end up doing is talking to ten people at the same time about my car.Quote:

Axles, exhaust, transfer case, oil cooler, are connected and the wheels are back on it and its on the ground. I should have it started and running (I hope) by next weekend.
Worked on it with the guys from 2pm to 4am
Today I'm just going to be connecting more stuff.
We have our fair share of slow and gay hondas and crap that show up. But there is also alot of high power high doller stuff too that makes up for it.Quote:

Theres at least 20 that showed up to import alliance last year. TN is nissan US head quaeters.so ALOT of nissan employees and heavy enthusiest. Makes it easy to get connections
man, i wish they sold the gtr over here instead of that 300zx.
Launch Control/Anti-lag with factory ECU and nothing else.... :w00t: Thanks to Greg for coming up with the code. I just get to be the tester :D

I ended up pressure testing my whole intake and vacuum system. The front wastegate line was cracked where I couldn't see it probably explaining my overboosting issue. :) One of the couplers was very thin not even a good 3-5 ply silicone hose so I replaced that. From there I replaced a few gaskets and tightened a few other things. I kept popping off the pre-turbo pipes and plugs in there so I'll have to figure something out. I have some aluminum ones to swap in. My biggest issue is the throttle body shaft seals leaking big time so I will be ordering some to rebuild it. I bet I'm losing a good 30hp from that stinkin' leak.
took out instrument panel,, painted white with new gauge faces and sanded of the orange from the needles :D
LOOK --->HERE
Aaron, that is awesome. I have the wotbox for 2 step and love it... Although it's really nice that your set up keeps the tach working properly
Got the M2 exhaust replaced with the stock on my 92 and got the wotbox and wideband uninstalled... tomorrow will be installing the M2 on the 95 and putting the Borla up for sale... may sell the Stillen DP too if it's worth enough. If I have enough time I may try and install the LC-1 in the 95 as well.
fixed my starter issue, but clutch booster i think is dead..
I watered the undercarriage :)
Over the weekend I put in an auto-dimming rearview mirror (and associated wiring) and painted the calipers on the Stealth...
Bob.
I was changing VSS with the heads on and was on the 20th seal.. when I was putting the keepers back on my valve was no longer staying up..
I was able to fish a little piece of valve stem out of the spark plug boss.. I then pulled the head to find this..

Broke down my heads today

I am not taking any chances and will be replacing all the valves.
Any insight on why this might have happened would be appreciated? I can't believe it.
Wow, that's a first. Can you get me ultra close and clear pics of the break zone?
I can't say I've ever seen something like that happen on these cars...
wtf????Quote:

is there a stamp on the valve? what's the outside diameter on it?
Ordered new rear shocks, calipers and rotors.
Put a few things back on and wiped the dust off. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...Picture006.jpg
I am having a very hard time getting clear pics of the break zone, heading out to work on the car now.. I'll try to get some with a better camera later tonight.
They have V3T stamped on them I double checked the valve OD and they are stock valves. (unless you meant stem OD?)
It was actually yesterday, when I was working on the Grand Prix, but I hooked the battery up and fired up the Stealth.
If your camera has a macro setting (looks like a flower), helps a ton. Also, check for witness marks on the valve and piston.Quote:
