RENOs one of the few

[efin driver]

hey my name is allen and im 1 of renos few 240 efin drivers. hit me up if something is going down.

[Reno95240sx]

hey allen welcome what kinda of 240 you got

[efin driver]

92 s13 red hb. you? i probably saw you not too long ago on 395 going north....

[Reno95240sx]

how do you know me? i got a 1995 240 emerald green and the color will hopefully change soonish

[efin driver]

you have black rims with polish lip and kouki front end! right? i think i spoke to you once at pepboys when i used to work there you had a broken corner light i think! also you pass by me at 395 going north!

[Kurai Shimo]

im pretty sure his is happy faced.

[efin driver]

im pretty sure his is happy faced.

happy faced? im too slow!

[Reno95240sx]

no that wasnt me then mine is emerald green and the zenki front it looks crappy on the outside but im looking to paint here in a couple of months i'm thinking 350z blue and get rid of my stock rims for some gunmetal gray ones.

Anyone got the clear headlight covers? I'm thinking about getting those too.

My interior is complete though i finally found an ash tray that eluded me for a while. It may have been Kurai's car he's got a black kouki.

[efin driver]

yeah its not you.. but there is someone with that car im talking about in town, it's clean too i just think its an auto trans. too bad if it is.

i dont know anyone else with an s14 so no to your clear corners! sorry! we're like needles in a gay stack!

[Kurai Shimo]

zenki front= happy face (it kinda looks happy compared to the kouki front)
ive yet to see another kouki driving around, im sure theyre out there though.
oh, and you might want to consider a color other than 350z blue. I've heard its a 3-stage paint. if this is true it means more money and way harder to match in the future if you wanted to put on/change a kit. plus there are alot of other nice colors out there that wouldnt require basecoat to be sprayed in multiple stages. just something to check into. if im wrong then it doesnt matter.
if you arent going with the stock color, doing something cfinch suggested a while back might be a good idea:
just go to the paint store and look through the books of colors, you might run across something similar that you like that is easier or something you like more all-together.

even if you were to stay with the same color you would be amazed how much better the car will look with a nice kit and fresh paint.
are you painting it yourself or having someone do it?

[efin driver]

zenki front= happy face (it kinda looks happy compared to the kouki front)
ive yet to see another kouki driving around, im sure theyre out there though.

ooh....gotcha! so what's your pride and joy?

[Kurai Shimo]

my pride and joy doesnt run amd sits in a garage in vegas until that crap heap runs again im driving this:

one day ill have all the parts and this pile will run again!
only difference between now and these photos is that i slapped all the trim on, it has a hatch, and the guts of the doors are back in.
thanks again for the help josh!

[Reno95240sx]

i have no idea how to paint so i was gonna get someone to do it I'm just thinking a blue color like they have on the 350z's it not really that exact color but we;ll see what happens. ive looked through a couple of books because i was gonna paint it earlier but i bought an sr instead. Ill consider keeping the stock emerald green I think its growing on me like a fungus

Nice s13 Kurai I love the tailights and wish they could go on my s14.

I remember a while ago you were looking for door handles if it was for you s13 there is one here at Pick'n'Pull in Sparks and like 5 in carson city. They are all the SOHC motors but the interior looked nice. If it was for you s14 I just got some part off a part out in NICoClub off a 95 for really really cheap the guy didnt care he just wanted the parts gone so you could get what you need for cheap from him let me know.

Did you ever sell the #62 redtop ecu? If not how much you want for it?

[efin driver]

shes beautyful! why green and pink? my paint started oxydizing so im also thinking of getting a paint job here pretty soon...i just need a sweet kit and new wheels! thinking about matt black ext. and some kind of bright red int. with matt black rims and red racing stripe. dracula concept!

[Kurai Shimo]

the person who said they wanted it never came through so i still have that ecu, idk, whatever the going rate is for them is fine by me ($140 i suppose). if you want it i could have it in reno in a couple weeks as i would bring it back with me so at least you wouldn't have to pay shipping or anything like that.
i would have painted the whole thing pink but that would have been insanely expensive.

[mr peas]

You should just drive it without windows and doors....and seats. Its faster that way. And it will equally still look like a douche car.

[Reno95240sx]

would it be alright if i tried out the ecu first to see if it solves the broken tach problem if it does im sure we could work something out

[efin driver]

is it mandatory to replace the ecu and tach if you go SR?

[Kurai Shimo]

i suppose it would be alright. hey joel might as well jsut drill out the rivets for the over fenders and take those off too, and go back to stock wheels because they're smaller and lighter. but then it would look worse than before, it at least needs to look the same.

[Reno95240sx]

if you have the SOHC tach it wont work with the sr ecu. You have to use the sr ecu with the sr motor but nomally the tach works. Shoot me an email about the diff with your number and we can work something out mr3pwood@yahoo.com

i just emailed you!
did you ever read that thread about cutting off your governor?? im curious about that and thinking about tryin it myself. i just need some opinion or comment about it!

[wakotow]

Well I had forgotten about this forum till today, but I drive an s13 hatch, it's flat black now, but sooner or later I'll get around to painting it.

[efin driver]

your talking about primer black! im talking about matt black! im not sure what the difference is but im sure there is!
are you from reno too? how come i havent seen your car around town!

[Kurai Shimo]

matte or satin black is usually a regular black with a flattener in the clear, so it washes like a normal painted car but just isnt glossy. honestly i think satin/matte black on a non baller car is not a good idea. it will still look basically like a primered black car. unless you have something like a lambo/ferarri/porsche or basically something thats kind of out there when it comes to styling. you'd, more than likely, be making it look like every other primered/rattlecanned 240 out there (inadvertently) even if you had wide fenders/baller wheels and what not.

also... shiny cars just look awesome!

[efin driver]

maybe youre right, maybe it will just look like any other shit box out there. but how many 240 with that paint job have you seen? besides theres a huge difference in appearance and texture between matte and primer! its still just an idea anyway, i got more like candy paint on chrome spinners! hehehe

[Kurai Shimo]

yeah, there is a difference in the texture and look, but from a short distance away its tough to tell that it isnt primered. it jsut doesnt have that glossy look that people associate with a nice paint job.
ive seen one satin black 240 and another one that was red/burgundy. it definitely looks better than rattle can but i really think that the average person cant really tell the difference.

[efin driver]

does anyone here could lend me their garage for hopefuly a day.hehehe i want to slap on my welded diff that i got from 95240. if not, thats cool ill figure something out!

[Kurai Shimo]

i dont have a garage but i could lend a hand throwing it in.
as far as the paint goes, if you are unsure about how the paint will look. get a panel (like a fender) and test shoot it. that way you'll have a good idea of what you're getting yourself into.

[mr peas]

Isnt it like.. snowing there. Replacing a diff in snow does not sound fun haha

[Kurai Shimo]

Isnt it like.. snowing there. Replacing a diff in snow does not sound fun haha

id think that its safe to assume that a garage with a door would be less likely to have snow in it.
plus it for the most part has just been cold.

[efin driver]

i got my buddy to let me use his garage so thats one problem solved. now i need to know what kind of gear oil im gonna need?

[Kurai Shimo]

regular gear oil is fine, welded diffs use the same oil as open dif

[wakotow]

Let's see, I drive to work at 5:30 in the mornin and then to school and then I'm there till evening, I don't get around much during the week, that's probably why you haven't seen my car, unless you hang out at TMCC a whole lot. And ya, my paint is pretty much just primer, it's pretty bad.

[efin driver]

cool. i put 80-90 in it. just double checking cause i read from some other thread that your suppose to use some heavy duty oil just wondering whats considered "heavy duty"?

i used to go to tmcc but not nomore. so where you at on your car?

[wakotow]

Well, I just got my wideband up and running about a week ago, so now all I should do is turn up the boost to 10-12lbs and see how she does. Then my next upgrade(once I have some cash) is a bigger turbo, supposedly that's all that's holding my RB back.

[veloce240sx]

Hello veloce240sx it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?


I guess by this message i have not been on here for a long time:p Wut up allen? hows the car? its cody with the blue hatch

20
25
26tt:D

never seen your car before.... the day i got my wideband i maxed out my boost. 22.6lbs and i kept it there ever since and never look at that gauge :p :p

[wakotow]

It's a rb25.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b381/wakotow/Final2.jpg

I'm pretty sure my little turbo will explode after 14lbs. but we'll see.

Given that the drags are closed till spring, I'll have to stick to on ramps to do my testing. I'll prolly try to bump up the boost saturday morning and see what she does.

Do any of you guys know if there's a car dyno in town, I know of a bunch of bike dynos but no car ones.

[veloce240sx]

there is a dyno but im not sure where try this number and ask em. 331-6577 ivm. im running 18-20 lbs on my 25. so 14 should be fine but make sure everything else is ok usually a turbo is not the first thing to go.

[wakotow]

Are you running the stock turbo? Cause I'm pretty sure based off the compressor maps that the stock turbo can flow enough air at 15+ lbs.
So what sort of mods have you done to your 25?

I'm pretty sure I have a boost leak, I tested it and it was good but then I thought my air compressor gauge was off and accidentally put like 35lbs through it and it blew my tester off and sliced my hand...anyway I think I may have pushed a connector loose, cause when I stomp on it it hesitates to start moving...so it's either than or my timing...we'll see.

[veloce240sx]

nuttin crazy

tubular manifold
550cc injectors
front mount
boost controller
full exhaust
prolly other shit i cant think of and a great mechanic helping me out ;) i think i saw your car tonight at les schwab possibly???? anywho i would love to see it possibly go for a ride.... im not doin shit at all tonight if your free hit me up at 775-351-6955 text is best peace

[efin driver]

was that your car at leschwab today? i saw that too!

i wanna go for a ride aswell you ash holes! call me 8306791

[wakotow]

Les Schwab? I don't think so, unless I was just driving by, but I can't think of any les schwab that I drove near yesterday. Well let's see, I'm busy most of saturday and sunday what with homework and the boat show, but if either or both of you are free on monday, I don't have school or work cause it's President's Day.

[veloce240sx]

Im off monday too hit me up

[efin driver]

i work monday but i get off at 6 so let me know.

[wakotow]

iight, I'll let you guys know, my name's Andrew by the way, where are you guys at in Reno, I'm up north of TMCC

[veloce240sx]

I live up off Robb dr. by mcqueen high. Pretty close i take my girl to tmcc tuesdays and thursday nights and am always board as shit if your ever doin something hit me up. im cody

[wakotow]

What time do you drop her off? I get done with class around 4ish and then I try to do some homework afterwords, but after that on tuesdays I'm free to cruise or whatever for a little bit.

Well I found my boost leak I think and turned it up to 10-11 lbs. and it feels pretty darn good.

[veloce240sx]

I drop her off at 645 and she is done around 9. couple hours. i lowered my car last night and didnt finish so monday morning ill be finishing that. my buddie and i usually just work on our cars every monday. he has a turbo ka s13 coupe. hit me up for sure....

[veloce240sx]

Lets do pizza fools! hit a g up..... gotta wate till the snow melts a little my car wont move but its melting fast

[wakotow]

I'm down for some pizza, everyone's good around 12:30-1 it sounds like.

Have any of you done the q45/z32TT diff swap, and if so where did you get your drivers side TT axle? I can't find them anywhere, but the q45 ones are all over the place at picknpull.

[Reno95240sx]

ok pizza pus in NW reno at 1?

[wakotow]

Well I was there around 1 and didn't see anybody, I was there till about 1:50. How about next weekend we have a meet.

[Kurai Shimo]

a z32 tt axle isnt going to fit your 240 hubs. you just need a 5 bolt axle right?

we should work out our plan for a meet at least a few days before hand. that way we all have time to get on the same page.
this week though im gonna have to pass unless we do something on friday. because vd next weekend!

[veloce240sx]

shit dude sorry andrew i got so fucking busy and i didnt hear from anyone till around noon. so i didnt think much was going down wit this. i had a friend call me around 9 and wanted his remote start installed so i ran over and did that and one thing led to another and i wasnt done till 2. hey reno240sx i sent u a message around 9 and didnt hear anything, and when i got your message i looked and it was the same number. wierd. anywho what you guys wanna do? lets get everyones number so we can keep in contact. i have effin driver's and reno240sx's. robert i lost your number dude got a new phone. text me so i can get it.

[wakotow]

ehh, no biggie, at least I got pizza out of it. I work all day friday, really saturday is my only free day usually, so we could do the following weekend if you guys want.

My number is 842.2195.

I know I'll need the 5 lug hub, I planned on swapping up to 5, my rims will do both 4 and 5 lug so I won't have to buy new ones. According to nico, I need the drivers side rear axle off of a q45 and the drivers side off a z32TT, and the diff out of the q45, I'll also have to do hubs and brakes. But I want the 3.69 gear ratio, that's the only reason I'm doing the axles and stuff.

[wakotow]

well, and the axles are stronger, so I won't have to worry as much about that.

[efin driver]

whashap?! i missed out on alot of planing that sucks for you guys didnt happen!hehehe!
so whats the new plan?

[Kurai Shimo]

ah, thats a pretty neat idea, but sounds like a pita if the axles ever need to be replaced down the road. im pretty sure most people that break axles break the cv joints anyway (or at least thats all i've ever broken/seen break). do you know if the joints themselves are any stronger on these axles?
also are you just doing the different gear ratio for fuel economy?

btw, have any of you guys ever seen any '00-'01(up to '04 might work) xterra's (4x4) at any junkyards around here?

[efin driver]

btw, have any of you guys ever seen any '00-'01(up to '04 might work) xterra's (4x4) at any junkyards around here?

i dnt think any of the junk yards here stock late model cars. but try airport auto wreckers, thats proly your best bet!

[veloce240sx]

i dnt think any of the junk yards here stock late model cars. but try airport auto wreckers, thats proly your best bet!

Ya i think they have newer cars but the price is fucked. Really pricy for junk yard parts. PicknPull is a hit or a miss just keep looking. We found an 06 Suzui Aerio at picknpull once took the motor outta it and payed $65 muahahahahaha ive seen a few zenki's there too. i usually go every monday so i see everything if i see anything ill let you know. still dont have your number tho

normally i could do saturday, but i have to be at the airport a little before noon so i couldn't go unless you wanna meet up before then.
in vegas meets were always pretty late at night in order to accommodate most everyone. but its also really cold here! (indoor meet?)
we should just work on a time that would allow meet on a more regular basis,
also a central location would be good so on one is having to drive really far.


oh and i agree, the guy that runs that place (airport wreckers) can go suck a nut. as well as his mexican that takes off all his shit.

[veloce240sx]

we usully meet at the parking garage attatched to the unr football field. its kinda indoors and nobody is ever there. im down for a late meet whatever works.

[wakotow]

Ya I'm doing it for fuel economy, saving my ears at 70mph on the freeway, stronger axles/CV joints, 5-lug, bigger brakes, and to save me a shift in the quarter mile.

and you want that xterra front ring gear don't you?

[efin driver]

late night is actualy the best time for me as well. i work untill 6 and i have a little demon at home that i need to put to sleep by 8 every night so anytime after 9 would be best!

775-830-6791 my name is allen

[Reno95240sx]

Ya I agree that airport guy is.......ahhhhh well nicely horrible. He did have an xterra down there though I think I saw the motor in his shop. It was the non supercharger model. He has one s14 zenki and pick'n'pull in reno has 1 s13 and the carson city one has like 4 or 5 s13's. Anyone here of s14 popping up in pick'n'pull Id like to know. Im down for whatever time really. Late is fine on the weekends Im pretty busy most weekdays with school and work, but friday, saturday im free.

Im Nick by the way

[veloce240sx]

Sounds like saturday is the best how about late a week from this saturday. i believe robert said he was outta town this weekend

[efin driver]

this week is highly possible! snowplow meet?

[wakotow]

I'm available a week from this saturday, I've got a physics test that I should probably study for this weekend.

[efin driver]

oh did he meant a week from this saturday?!
does anyone know when the weather will clear cause i want to try out the welded diff!

[Kurai Shimo]

meh, dont worry about the weather! even if theres snow it will just make it even more interesting/entertaining. just slap it in. honestly shitty weather is probably even more reason to take the car out.

[efin driver]

personally i don't care if i put it on and drive in the middle of a snow storm but my shit box is a daily driver for me and my family.

shit i can do more than them without wheels:D

[Kurai Shimo]

screw that! drive it at the awesome ride height!
Cars ride way better when they look cool.
Fact.

[efin driver]

im down for saturday and since we only do it once in a blue moon lets make it interesting!:cool:

[Kurai Shimo]

well hopefully we will be able to make meets more regular. but i agree we might as well go have some fun.

[veloce240sx]

WTF got into me.... fucking bitch i guess lol... well billy and i were thinking a possible virginia city cruise through carson and back to reno...... any other ides or what??? altough im down for whatever you gotta hear me on how low it is..... it will touch the ground if i put a finger on it ;)

[Kurai Shimo]

lol did you remove more than one collar?

[veloce240sx]

lol naw i didnt i actually did nothing else. when i lowered it with my eurolines on the body of the car was sitting on the tire so i put on my stock wheels that brought it down another inch. i was also wondering this tho. i have seen many 240sx run bigger/wider wheels up front and are equally as low as me. how do they do it cause my fender wells were sitting on my tire

[Kurai Shimo]

camber to fit, im not really sure why your camber plates are maxed out an you still have minimal camber in the front.

[efin driver]

i haven't really been around that much so i dont know where the good routes are at other than the road going up VC.

what time will we meet and where?

is anyone planing to do some drift showcase?

[Kurai Shimo]

whats drift showcase? some event they have out here? or do you mean just a bit of street driving [not condoning street drifting]
but some high speed/high angle cruising might be fun.

[veloce240sx]

no drifty for me allen i gots no e-brake and the side of a mountain isnt where i want to practice:p

Robert i have no fuckin clue why my shit be fucked up ya know g?......sorry in oakland mode. Ya i maxed the camber plates is there any other way to make more camber in the front? here is a before and after shot of the camber...

[efin driver]

fine, no cliff jumping!:(

the only thing i know that could fix you problemo are a set of lower adjustable control arms!
too pricey tho!

[Kurai Shimo]

yeah, you could go longer lca for more camber but it doesnt really change the position of the wheel in relation to the fender(top part not really moving)
do your coils use an eccentric bolt at the shock/spindle mount?

[efin driver]

file the holes maybe?

[efin driver]

is everyone up for tomorrow?

when?

where?

i bought an ultra clamp for my camcorder so i can record the cruise. clamp works perfect but camcorder P.O.S. has the drop detection that makes it shutoff on vibrations or somethin!:mad:

if anyone else wants to bring a camcorder that would be sweet!

[veloce240sx]

fucks ya bitches i tried gettin ahold of a camcorder but simblings ex's arent as nice as they once were lol...... anywho lets fucking meet at the parking lot at the movie theater at the summit mall. its right next to the vc highway. o and say 9:30???? just text me its faster than talkin on here

[wakotow]

haha 6X9's installed, and my adjustable FPR...
Do any of you know where the fuel pump relay is located? when i turn the key into the on position the fuel pump goes to prime but it never shuts off, it's supposed to after like 5 seconds, so I think my relay is bad.

[wakotow]

Hey guys, sorry about last night, I had totally forgotten that I'd made plans, and before I knew it, it was 10. Cody you said you went to IVM on mondays didn't you? I've been wanting to go over there, I don't have class on Monday till 2, do you go in the morning I could meet up with you tomorrow if you're goin'.

[veloce240sx]

im actually busy tom morn man but i have no clue what that reno95 dude is talkin about im super close with the shop owner and was just there last monday and the dyno is no where near ready. ill keep you updated. were actually heading to carson to help our buddy out and try and get his sr running right. if you wanna roll man hit me up. o ya and last night was pretty tight we actually had two extra people show up that arent on here so there was 6 or 7 240s lol i dont remeber.

[wakotow]

That's pretty sweet, well lemme know when you guys are doin somethin again, I was kinda weary about driving uphill for a long ways, my RB has been running warm like 190-195 after a long uphill drive, and it should be in the 170-185 range...it's prolly not that big a deal right now, but come mid july I might have some problems.

[Kurai Shimo]

the 190 range isn't really all that hot (its hot, just not super hot).
i had always heard that its not really a problem until temps start to climb over 200, so it seems like if temps are peaking in the low 190's it shouldn't be much of a problem.
a difference of 10 degrees from normal isnt super crazy or unexpected if you are driving it harder than "normal"

[veloce240sx]

Man get rid of that temp gauge. i promise you will never have a heat issue. lol till its a real problem i guess.

[efin driver]

isnt that a common problem with RBs?

post some pix of the meet

[wakotow]

Supposedly it's pretty common to have an RB that overheats, according to the guys on nico, the best fix is to install the stock clutch fan, that seems to fix the issues if the standard bigger radiator/new water pump "fixes" don't work.

[br8kawy]

does anyone here have z32 brake hardware kits for front and rear or know where i can get them?!

I am selling my front r32 brakes come with Hawk race pads (suck in the cold) and Drilled/slotted 11 inch rotors. Are you interested? Stepping up to 13 rotors so I wont need the R32's. Call Alan @ Modified Auto and he can get in touch with me.. Will.

[br8kawy]

I dont remeber who but someone wanted a dyno and there is one at infinate velocity motor sports here in town by glendale and mcarran and the number is 775-331-6577 and the website they have is http://www.ivmotorsports.com/index2.html

tommorrow sounds good i have didnt tell work that i have no class how about after 12

There is also one @ C & C Fuel Injection http://www.ccfuelinjection.com/. Little pricey @ $125 per hour but it is an inertia dyno and very very close to real deal. Get good load readings and 4th gear pulls to 130 mph

[veloce240sx]

will you crazy sob! muahahahahahaha jk... what up its cody with the blue sil-40. hows the car? i havnt seen it with the new rims.

[br8kawy]

What up Cody. I just put the Bronze 5Zigen's on last weekend. Scooped up Chris' Pro Racers 7.5 f 8.5 r with NT01. Look great on the car. Hitting the painting booth any time now (waiting for the phone call) and fitting the car with a Chargespeed body kit.

Took it to the Dyno 2 weeks ago, hit 340 rwhp on an inertia dyno with pump gas. Taking it next wee to tune on Sunco 106. Should hit about 380 rwhp. Dropped 10 sec of my best lap time at Fernley with new set up. Car is a lot of fun now.

Whats up with you? Are you going to Street Import Nights in June? http://www.streetimportnights.com/
How is the car. Did you upgrade that T25 yet? I still have that T28 in my garage.

[veloce240sx]

still runnin the t25 at max boooooost lol she is going out! man i have been back and forth with this damn thing so many times but i lowered it the other day and took a drive to carson yesterday and fucked some shit up. two harnesses are now dragging on the ground ( god knows where they go, i havnt had time to check) my chargespeed kit is fu**** went a little too low (about a half inch off the ground) I had no clue you had a extra 28... how much you want mr? i have the car in my garage on 4 jack stands as of right now and i am not putting it down till im done with everything i want to do. O and of course i will be at sin. :D

[br8kawy]

How does $200 sound? I put down 270 rwhp with that turbo. I also have the Apexi Super Suction Intake that I have no need for anymore.

[veloce240sx]

sounds like a killer deal what turbo r u running now??

[br8kawy]

GT2876r .86 with 280 cams lots of lag (cams help with power in low power band) but at 4k RPM it spools like an F18 to 19psi, going to try 24psi after a little more tuning. Hit 138 on the straight at Fernley in 5th gear at 5.5K revs, still had 2.5K to go but the essess were coming up fast and I am still getting acquainted with the new power.

[veloce240sx]

Nice. ya im prolly gonna get back into the roadcourse. i went and took my license class and never went back lol. i got back into drifting and just messing around in parking lots but u cant do much in reno with it. When we did the road course i was doing a little over 100mph around 105mph and that shit was scary entering the s bends lol. my number is 7753516955 keep me updated on the dates out there. i wanna get back into it. i have a fully built sr with pistons, rods, springs, retainers, pretty nice shit but i just gotta get back into it.

[Reno95240sx]

Sounds like good times at the meet and about IVM I was just saying I saw they offered a dyno there I have no idea if it works I just read it on the board of services offered. I also noticed the other day driving my sr that on a hard decel and then when i hit the throttle again i got a puff of smoke out the back. Checked the motor compression and everything was ok. Checked the turbo and little to no shaft-play. I read it could be a turbo oil seal but that if it was that there should be oil residue in the intercooler piping off the turbo but it was clean. I read today that the PCV valve could be bad causing the same problem but i havent checked that yet. It's not a constant smoke, i doesnt happen all the time the only thing consistant about it, is that it happens on decel when it does happen. Any other input from you guys would be nice. Thanks.

I will give you a heads up a few days before we head back out. Next trip is to Fallon on the 14th of this month. 1st 1/4's of the season. U down? :D

Hard decel? DO you mean Throttle lift after WOT full load? or something else?

[efin driver]

I am selling the seats. Are you interested?

kindov! how do they support? cuz im a pretty small guy and i want something that will really hold me in place. sick of hanging on to the steering wheel instead of controlling it!:mad:

[Reno95240sx]

ya after letting off the throttle completely like full throttle then no throttle

[br8kawy]

kindov! how do they support? cuz im a pretty small guy and i want something that will really hold me in place. sick of hanging on to the steering wheel instead of controlling it!:mad:

Are you using a harness or OEM belt (harness always is better)? The Megans have a medium height hip support so if you are around a 32" waist you might like them. If you want we can try to hook up some time and you can try it to see if you like it.

[br8kawy]

Fuel. This might sound stupid but have you checked the gap on your plugs. I am running my 550's wide open with 48lbs on the pressure reg and I always get fuel dump after WOT. Used to be really bad when plugs gapped at .30 but now set at .25-.26 really controlled the fuel poop out the back. Are you running OEM ECU, Flashed or Stand Alone?

[Reno95240sx]

OEM ECU and the smoke looks gray not black like it does with burnt fuel. I definently think its oil.

[efin driver]

actually im not using any king of safety belt at all. i have an oe belt but the retracting crap is broken! so i need a harness with the seat! if i ever liked it how much do you want for it? are you selling pairs?

[br8kawy]

OEM ECU and the smoke looks gray not black like it does with burnt fuel. I definently think its oil.

If it is indeed oil, that is not good. You need to get it checked ASAP. Have you checked the exducer for spent oil? I know its a pain in the a$$ but before you tear into this it would be a good place to start

[br8kawy]

actually im not using any king of safety belt at all. i have an oe belt but the retracting crap is broken! so i need a harness with the seat! if i ever liked it how much do you want for it? are you selling pairs?

2 fer 1. Price each $250 will sell both for $250 rails are 120 for the pair will sell for $60.

Total $310

[Kurai Shimo]

are you running an atmospheric bov?
if it were the seal on the turbo odds are it would smoke a whole lot more than just on decel.
on decel is it a puff immediately after letting off also or only when you get back on throttle? does it smoke like a train when it does smoke or is it fairly small?
valve seals?
are you sure the smoke is white and not dark?
also i have that ecu sitting here.

[ZenkiTrev]

Hey I saw mention of Reno-Fernley Raceway. To those of you who go there, how is it? They seem to have a lot of open track days.

[br8kawy]

Hey I saw mention of Reno-Fernley Raceway. To those of you who go there, how is it? They seem to have a lot of open track days.

Fast and pretty technical. It has esses, chicanes, flick turns and a horseshoe. Most of the time it is the 2.9 mile H configuration but once in a while Danny will open up sunset on the back and it becomes a 4 mile course. Track is a little bumpy in places but nothing to drastic.

Where else can you go and pay $150 to spend all day on the track?

[veloce240sx]

hey reno95 ive heard that the oil drain on the trubo is too small and can back up the oil wich can lead to oil in the intercooler pipes and or buring oil through the exhaust. not sure if this is true or straight bull shit but just figured i heads up ya. Will i might be out there but not to race my shit is hammered lol. ill let ya know for sure.

[Kurai Shimo]

it is possible but if its a stock motor setup, unlikely. especially since ball bearing turbos use restrictors so they dont have a ton of oil flow anyway (compared to journal bearing).

reno95: are you still running that t3/t4 setup?

[Reno95240sx]

ya still got the t3/t4 setup. The smoke just really bothers me, I guess it's not that much though but still............... checked all the intercooler piping and no oil at all but my hands nearly froze.

[wakotow]

I may have missed it but are you running an atmospheric BOV? If you are, when you let off WOT, you MAF just told the computer that it has alot of air in the system, but now you just let alot of the air out, so you run rich for a little bit, that might explain the smoke. Do you have an AFR gauge? That should tell you if you're hitting rich for a couple of seconds.

[br8kawy]

Anyone going to Fallon this weekend?

[Kurai Shimo]

whats in fallon?

[wakotow]

It's the first weekend the drags are open out at top gun. I would be there, except I'm sure my car isn't track ready, I'm pretty sure that I need an external battery shutoff, and I'll need a helmet that's snell 2000 or above and I don't have either, so maybe next month. Fernley is so much more lax when it comes to that stuff, too bad it's not open as often.

[br8kawy]

They do not check to see if you have a cut-off switch for your relocated battery and they rent helmets for like 10 bucks.

[wakotow]

interesting, how much is it to get in like $30? If that's the case then I may be out there

[br8kawy]

A mere $40:D

[wakotow]

If you guys hop on craigslist right now, there's an s14 with a blown head gasket for 300 dollars, I don't need another project car, but maybe one of you is looking for one, or maybe just parts.

http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/1069035856.html

[veloce240sx]

wont respond to me email i want it!!!!!!!!!

[wakotow]

did you get it?

[Reno95240sx]

I think its a lie i got his number but he never answers ive been trying since its been up

[wakotow]

bummer

[Reno95240sx]

ya it is but i saw your car at pick,npull on saturday and by the time i got out of there you were just leaving. Was there an s13 in there or where you working on something else.

[wakotow]

ya I was there saturday, there wasn't a s13 or anything good unless you have a 200sx and need some sr20 parts. I was there to look and to help my brother cut the rear section of a civic out, his was all smashed up and we're going to weld a new one in this weekend.

[wakotow]

Hey Cody, my brother saw your car at tmcc yesterday (s13/silvia front), and I saw someone else's black s13 hatch on monday, silver rims, blacked out middle brake light. I'm seeing more and more 240's out there, pretty awesome.

[veloce240sx]

:( too bad it wasnt me. my car has been down since the day after the cruise. nothing wrong just fixing a bunch of shit. i have seen the blacked out coupe tho looks sick. when we all getting together????

[efin driver]

its nice to be back bin so long since i last posted.
my laptop is having some problems maybe cody could hook me up!?
still have my ka right? cody....
i probably wont reply much often but everyone could get a hold of me at 7758306791

[wakotow]

wow this whole place just died...

[Kurai Shimo]

i guess... theres like what 4-5 reno people (maybe) that would post?
so figure if one person were to not post that like 25% of this section.

[Reno95240sx]

Ya thats true Ive been really busy with school and all the projects the professors want me to do now at the end of the semester plus my turbo oil seal was blown so i got rid of the car and got a 98 3000gt (non-turbo) to drive. Maybe Ill get another 240 in the summer

[efin driver]

who got your 240?

[wakotow]

I saw a black vert going south on 395 today, it sounded real good. I got a new boost controller today, I had it turned way up too high, I wouldv'e owned the vert if I didn't freak out cause I hit 20lbs, oh well, at least I didn't blow anything up.

did it have chrome rims and grafix on the side?

[wakotow]

maybe, it had a silver/grey racing stripe that was offset from the center of the hood.

[Kurai Shimo]

damn, im glad ive never seen this thing, sounds pretty hideous.

[wakotow]

eh, it couldv'e been better, I wasn't paying attention so much to it's 'styling'. On a brighter note, my holset should get here tomorrow!

[veloce240sx]

damn, im glad ive never seen this thing, sounds pretty hideous.

its fucking nasty! i did a full system on it. its a slushbox too all stock....

[wakotow]

School's almost out! Two weeks!

[Kurai Shimo]

idk about you, but this semester is looking like its going to warrant some heavy drinking by the time its finished.

[wakotow]

What's involved in the oil feed/return if I'm changing my turbo? I'm going from the stock to a holset, what parts will I need to get the oil hooked up?

[Kurai Shimo]

what turbo are you going to?
probably going to need a whole new oil feed with appropriate fittings. (12x1.25 for the block i think)
and whatever it is for the turbo im sure a local hose shop could make one up quick.
Could do an adapter fitting to either an -an line or a barb fitting for the oil drain. to some extent it depends on what you want and how much you want to spend.
im pretty sure this is correct, if someone wants to chime in and verify that would be great.

[wakotow]

It's a HX35W

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b381/wakotow/100_4052.jpg

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b381/wakotow/100_4053.jpg

I'm pretty sure that's the oil feed side...

According to what I've found on nico, that's a T3 fitting, so can I just use the lines/fittings that are on my current turbo?

[veloce240sx]

nice! i just put a 28 on my sr. not sure if i feel too much more power but its alot smoother and just feels more stable under boost. good luck.... o and lets get a fucking meet together shit!!!!!!

[Reno95240sx]

There is a guy on CL selling a 180sx chasis for 600. Ive seen it and it really is pretty much picked clean but he has some aftermarket parts you might be able to get off him. I think he had a greddy downpipe, turbo timer, rims and tires, when I saw it a couple of months ago. No front end either. Schools out for me and Im with Kurai it was pretty rough.

[Kurai Shimo]

if the 180 you are talking about is that rattle canned orange one, that thing is a huge piece. seriously they should be paying to have that thing taken away. when i saw, it was a bare shell with a saftey 21 bolt-in cage welded to the chassis. it was kinda rusty iirc and the 180 quarter glass was busted.
semester is done, lets go drink!

oh btw, i forgot about the whole turbo thing. pretty sure stock lines wont work. and youre getting a different manifold anyway right? if yes then it wont even be in the same location.

[wakotow]

Can't afford a manifold yet, I kinda got it all figured out.
Are any of you going out to the fallon drags on may 30th?

[Kurai Shimo]

if that turbo has a t3 flange, you will be trying for a really long time to get that thing to bolt up to your stock manifold.
good to hear you got it worked out though.

[Reno95240sx]

wow kurai lol your dead on with that 180 i just didnt want to be that mean, but ya the shell sucks really bad but if anyone want a downpipe they could call him.

[Kurai Shimo]

well i didnt realize it had any additional parts on it, it looked pretty much picked clean when i saw it (though i didnt look at it all that well, i was looking at a sohc hatch that guy was selling).
so i guess it might be a slightly better deal than i first thought.
but it was one of those things where if it were a normal 240 no one would look twice before passing on it, but because its super jdm its supposed to be worth some unreasonable amount of money now.
maybe in cali and if it werent rusty (or had a title) you could pawn it off on someone.
but in reno? its just not realistic.
Btw when i first saw that thing on craigslist (online pics) when i moved here it was rust brown and iirc they wanted like 1500 for it.

oh, im pretty sure cody was saying he was down for a meet on sunday night if any of you folks are interested.

[1bads13]

When on sunday?

[Kurai Shimo]

new plan! (short notice i know) shooting for around 1030-1100 tonight. pm me your number if i dont already have it and ill call you when i know for sure.

[wakotow]

why will it take me a long time? stock turbo is T3, and I snagged 1/2 plates to space it away from the manifold, I should be fine...I hope

[Kurai Shimo]

wait.... do you have an rb in your car or something? (I had assumed it was an sr)
if so my mistake, you would be correct.

[wakotow]

oh ya RB25.

[veloce240sx]

this thread is fucking crazy! one day ill post and two weeks later everyone will post! anyway the last meet got a fucked cause my phone decided to stop working at about 9 so everyone i sent a text to didnt get it. but lets all figure out when we can do it and get something going.

[Kurai Shimo]

if we want to make meets more regular, we need to decide on a time that best accomodates the majority of people. i guess we could start with posting up what days work best for you all.

[veloce240sx]

off monday and friday but avail any nights of the week

[wakotow]

I'm only working a little bit, just thursday and friday starting in june...though hopefully I can find another part time job to pay for school.
untill june starts I'm working in the mornings tuesday -thursday 6-10 and all day friday so afternoons are alright I suppose, but since I start early I don't usually stay up/out too late at night.

[1bads13]

I down any night I would prefer weekends but week nights are fine.

[veloce240sx]

next sunday night????? bads13 do i know you or have i seen your car?

[Kurai Shimo]

next sunday night?????

i said sunday night mr not sunday evening..... hahahaha jk man whatever works to get all you bastards out for a douche meet :D maybe a meet in tahoe since its warm? i dont know just throwing shit out.......

[wakotow]

If we meet in tahoe I sure hope my car makes it up the hill, I just replaced the thermostat and it seems to be fine, but that'll be a good test of my cooling system I suppose.

Do any of you have front strut tower bars? I want to get one but I don't know if it'll clear my rb25 stock intake manifold, at the meet could we pull one of yours off and see if it clears on mine?

yes sir i happen to have one for a 240 in my garage ill bring it along and we can test it. i think a meet here in reno little photo shoot and chilll would be cool.

[veloce240sx]

from the looks of this fucked up picture it will fit but ill bring it anyways just to be sure. looks super close to.. so close that the engine moving might hit it.

[Kurai Shimo]

just bring a socket set, and liquid gasket, worst case scenario you take that shit out, or clip the thermostat is someone has wire cutters.

[1bads13]

so this meet is sunday night correct and when are we meeting? and what time for sure? hit me up and let me know.

[1bads13]

sorry meant where are we meeting

[veloce240sx]

we can meet wherever i was thinking the top of the parking garage at unr. the one that is right behind the football field. we have had a few meets here and we like it cause its quit nobody knows your up their and i have never seen more than 5 or 6 cars total in the whole garage. any other opinions/ideas of a good place throw them out there. im thinking unr garage at say 9:30???????? lets get this set in stone and do it.

[wakotow]

sure I can do 9:30

[Kurai Shimo]

id like to, if possible, bump this up to at least 9:00

[Reno95240sx]

tonight should be good even though i have no 240 anymore lol let me know robert

[1bads13]

So sunday night at 9 right? Just curious is the parking garage friendly to low cars cause mine is kinda slammed?

[wakotow]

parking lot is fine, but you'll have to go over at least 1 to get to it.

[veloce240sx]

ya parking garage is fine. my shit was on the ground. i could fit only two quarters stacked on top of each other under my front bumper and made it to the top of the parking garage. so sunday night at 9 it is then.......

[Kurai Shimo]

you can get into both garages without going over the speed bumps. the west stadium garage has no speed bumps at the lower entrance (just north of the main entrance to the school). and the other one you can just drive in the exit.

strategy my good sirs.lol

[1bads13]

thx guys well i will try my hardest to b back in town by then.

[wakotow]

well my car is going to be pretty ugly, I decided to start the arduous task of body work this weekend(yay!), so my doors will be stripped down. but I'll be there.

[wakotow]

I found a couple places that say the HX35 is journal bearing, so I can slap whatever for lines, as long as I don't ruin oil pressure for the rest of the system?

called you many times and texted you even more and got no response. is this a new #?

[wakotow]

I figured out why my body lines had been bondoed over, he put the rear fenders on too low, the body lines are about .5 inches lower than the door's body lines, so now I have to decide which looks less bad, no bodly lines, or body lines that don't line up.

That turbo feed is the same as the block M12x1.5, I verified it with a bolt today just to make sure.

that sucks hella bad, but that also means the the fenders will be lower in the rear, meaning if you made your car pretty low, the rear would look super dumped out. maybe it can be salvaged to look pretty cool.
worst case scenario buy new rear over fenders and remove the old ones. which probably means alot of bondo removal.

[wakotow]

ya lots of bondo and it's got rivets in it, I'll just see if I can salvage it.

of course; just saying that even in worst case scenario all is not lost. if you had to remove them, drilling out rivets shouldnt be too bad once you removed enough bondo that you could see them.

[wakotow]

ya we'll see, I'll try to wash the body lines out today, and if that doesn't work then I may have to start cutting.

do any of you know if summit will make me an oil line, in their catalog all I can find are 25' lengths and I don't need an oil line that long. or anywhere else that I can get one for a reasonable price.

my cooling should improve after I swap this turbo since it isn't water cooled.
