Well, what's happenin?

[wakotow]

What've you guys been up to? Any more money blown on your cars? eddie have you picked a swap yet?

[wakotow]

this is lame

[ZenkiTrev]

word. The peeps in Reno are lame... oh, wait.

[wakotow]

yup, welcome to the dark, inactive member, side of the 240 clan.

[wakotow]

when do you leave? we should do a meet before you head back to lame-ville for christmas

[Kurai Shimo]

its just the end of the semester combined with the site having been down for a while.
rough times.

[wakotow]

ya, I kindof figured, how're your classes goin'?

[Kurai Shimo]

pretty well, same as always... just need to put in a ton of work for this final stretch

[wakotow]

Ya, I'm glad that I don't have any more stupid homework, except one dynamics set.

[ZenkiTrev]

I'm so glad this semester is almost done. I only have my final report on the hovercraft and an e-portfolio left before finals.

[wakotow]

yay no school today!!! I hope that means no complex numbers on the final, maybe we should study them a little just in case.

[Kurai Shimo]

no school today screws me hard. i needed the library for final projects due on thurs. reno, youre breakin' my balls here.

[wakotow]

Trevor did you get that e-mail from our strengths teacher? do we actually have class on wednesday?

[wakotow]

grrr...got stuck at a light in the snow this morning, some guy hopped out and asked if I wanted him to push me...and dumb me said yes, so he hopped in his truck and pushed, soft at first, then he gave me a pretty good bump...oh well, it didn't crack the bumper, or even the paint, but I think he broke the styrofoam cause I heard a pop but I can't see anything...uhg..

On a brighter note, I got my z32 ecu, and once I have the cash it's getting sent to nistune.:D

[Kurai Shimo]

got blizzak ws60's (pair) on the s14... seriously, more grip than i had before with chains (bald tires though, haha)
id like to get a vlsd as well though, i think i would be extremly helpful without locking too hard and making the car too difficult to drive for anyone else.

[wakotow]

ya, I'm on my 245 khumo's, fantastic in the summer, so-so in snow, except for uphills from a stop. I've never owned/regularly driven anything other than rear wheel drive with a vlsd, so I don't know anything else.

[ZenkiTrev]

My car is absolutely worthless in the snow. I drove through some snow turning onto an uphill side street last night and the car just stopped. Had to dig it out with an adjustable crescent wrench...

[veloce240sx]

whats up guys? Damn its been a while, and with buying a house and selling both my sr's i havnt been in contact, sorry. Everyone send me a quick text i lost all your numbers.

[Kurai Shimo]

buying a house is awesome! congrats!

[wakotow]

ya cody, I don't have you're number either... 842 . 2195

[veloce240sx]

buying a house is awesome! congrats!

ya it was at first but we have been trying since jan and been outbid by investors on 14 houses so we went with a new build and its seconds away from closing! Finally lol. I'm doing a swap on my 240 so its gonna be down for a while :( my # is 351-6955 o and I'm selling both my sr's. One complete swap with all my upgrades and one just the motor fully built just fyi;)

[br8kawy]

A big congrats from me too. Having a house that is yours is the best. Its all rent until you make the last payment but at least you are banking it to your own coffers and not someone else's. 1st things 1st garage makeover!

[br8kawy]

Anyone have an IACV that works? Mine is screwed and I a definitely tired of the f%$#'d idle all the time. Blew cleaner and all the BS in it but it is sianara.

[wakotow]

well I don't wanna be a vulture, but cody do you happen to have popup headlight shrouds, or a dohc cluster, I broke my tach messing with it, and I've never had the shrouds and I don't really feel like packing my engine bay full of snow.

Garage makeover for sure! I gave my fiance every other room in the house but i get the garage to myself! :D

[wakotow]

Sounds awesome

[slow92]

Garage makeover for sure! I gave my fiance every other room in the house but i get the garage to myself! :D

it is funny how that works. I have been married for 5 years and the only room in the house that I have a say in is the garage but that is where I spend most of my time anyways.

[br8kawy]

s13sr yes?
Yep

[wakotow]

Hey which one of you has that RB20? How's it runnin' these days?

[veloce240sx]

that would be cory he isn't on here but its running great

[wakotow]

That's good, is it still all stock?

[veloce240sx]

That's good, is it still all stock?


ya just exhaust

[wakotow]

kool, I don't remember very well, does he have they grey pignose hatch with kouki tails? I've seen that car parked up on plumas near moana all the time.

[veloce240sx]

naw he has a gunmetal hatch with stock tails and 962 wheels. O AND I GOT MY HOUSE KEYS FTW!

[wakotow]

congrats

[k00laid83]

i say we have a mini meet one night when it gets a little warmer...i still dont have my s13 ready haha...but i have a z32 i can cruise lol so what do you guys think?

[wakotow]

that sounds good to me. If you ever decide to get rid of your rear end in that car, lemme know, I'll be needing new axles sooner or later.

[k00laid83]

that sounds good to me. If you ever decide to get rid of your rear end in that car, lemme know, I'll be needing new axles sooner or later.

haha yea for sure but as soon as im done with the s13 i'll pick up the twin turbo swap for my z32 so i dont think im going to get rid of it. but you never know right

[wakotow]

lol sounds good. Is anyone actually ever done with an s13?

[k00laid83]

lol sounds good. Is anyone actually ever done with an s13?

thats very true but at least everyone can drive their s13...i'm not even there yet lol

[veloce240sx]

waassup biatches!

[wakotow]

I have my nistune in the mail, should be here in two weeks or less.

How's your house?

[veloce240sx]

fuckin sick! I'm lovin it dude I'm gonna keep my sr and to a top mount set up

[wakotow]

that'll be awesome, did you ever get those over fenders?

[veloce240sx]

naw i keep spending my money on other shit fuck!

[wakotow]

Do you know if Fernley will be open this summer? Last time I looked at their website they seemed pretty hopeless.

[veloce240sx]

nope fernley is done for good

[wakotow]

that blows...I just got my new ecu yesterday, got the wiring done except for the consult port, which should be all done and running by tonight.

[ZenkiTrev]

Hey Andrew! What's up man? I haven't talked to you since finals week.
How's the nistune going?

[wakotow]

Things are goin pretty good, I've got it in the car, but I am unable to get my laptop to connect to the ecu. I e-mailed and he told me to recheck my consult port wiring...I probably shouldn't have used crimp connectors, I was just in a rush...so when I get off work I'll be checking that wiring (I may have gotten two of them switched), and soldering all of them as well. But nistune preloaded the stock rb25 map, and set it up for my z32 maf, so I've been driving on it, it's a little richer than I had before with my safc2, but not to bad.

My car also ligitimately passed smog for the second year...I can't believe it's already been a year.

What've you been up to? Any drifting lately? Any new parts on your car?

[ZenkiTrev]

Wow! Glad to hear you're driving on it. How'd the wiring check go today?

I've spent pretty much the entire break working. That and catching up with old friends.
Aside from maintenance items, the car is pretty much the same. Just trying to keep it running well really.
So far no drifting. I'll be driving at the event is on Saturday though! Should be a lot of fun to get back on the track. Then off to the airport the next day to head back to good ole Reno.

[wakotow]

So I got one wire wrong, I guess it helps to read the diagram instead of winging it.
It works!! It runs about 10.5AFR at the very top, this evening I'll get my wideband running in nistune so I can log that as well, then I should be set to start adjusting fuel maps and increase the rev limiter hehe...

Did you figure out what to do about your cooling? What temp have you been running in this cooler weather? The track opens in march are you gonna bring your car? It's a bummer that reno is so far from vegas, otherwise it'd be feasible to meet with the crowd down there.

[veloce240sx]

Track are you speaking of Fallon? My car wont be ready by march but mid summer I should be good to go. Glad to hear about your tune. You should swing by my new place so I can check that shit out!

[wakotow]

Ya Fallon is open in March. Right now I'm just running on the basemap, but I'm going to lay into it all weekend, I don't think it'll take me too long to get started. So ya, as soon as it's runnin' good, I can swing by your place...or, we could do some sort of back to school meet.

[wakotow]

trevor, do we not have a book for our system design class? I can't find one...

Did you ever decide if you were going to take linear algebra this semester?

[veloce240sx]

trevor, do we not have a book for our system design class? I can't find one...

Did you ever decide if you were going to take linear algebra this semester?

Damn linear algebra? Sounds tough. I think im gonna take my usual classes. Work, Work on car, Xbox.

[wakotow]

Ya we'll see how tough it is, most people I know that've taken it said it was pretty easy.

I could deal with car and xbox...that whole work thing gets old...lol too bad for me I guess.

[ZenkiTrev]

Yep figured out cooling. I went through the engine bay checking things and found a boost leak at the stock recirc valve location, sealed up the cooling fans better so that the air would actually be forced to go through the radiator and found that the timining was at 22degrees :eek: Set it to 15 and the car is a lot better. In normal driving the highest the car gets is 165. I was able to get it up to 210 after about 6 hot laps at the drift event, but I'm going to assume that's normal.

The car will likely stay in vegas... no place to keep it here in Reno.
trevor, do we not have a book for our system design class? I can't find one...

I was going to call you about this, I couldn't find one either. We'll probably find out on Wednesday. I actually did try to get into linear algebra, but there weren't any spots left. I'll keep checking the next 2 weeks.... it's likely someone will drop.

[wakotow]

Is there a noticiable shift in performance now that it's back to stock timing? Mine is almost too cool, normal driving it's around 160, but if I hammer it and then have to stop, and the fans havent' kicked on yet, then it gets up to 180 and then like 15 seconds later it's back down to 165ish...we'll see what summer brings, I may do a intercooler spray bar and just mist my radiator when it gets hot...I wonder if I can rig it up to the ecu...mmm. You should drive the white one home, and the red one back on spring break:D

you could rig up your washer bottle to spray onto the radiator/intercooler as well.

idk about having that many rb25's in one place, i dont trust it!the world might end!

[veloce240sx]

Or maybe it will bring some fucking sunshine to this fucking place!

[wakotow]

I agree...sunshine and happiness lol

If I had the winshield washer pump and resivoir anymore I could...but I didn't have the lines going to the hood, and I had no resivoir, so I pulled the pump. I'll probably hook it up once summer hits, so I can do the mister bar, and possibly use the resivoir with water/meth injection (if I can earn enough to afford that too).

Robert have you worked on your s13 recently, or is it just collecting dust on that sparkly paint?

[ZenkiTrev]

Haha I'm definitely thinking sunshine. I don't know if it'd be worth bringing the car up with no events though.
Now if a UNR drift club existed and we had access to the north parking lot... well then maybe I'd have to reconsider lol

[Kurai Shimo]

maybe we can make it happen, i would help work on it if it meant i could do a burnout in the area in front of the student union.

[Kurai Shimo]

that reminds me, are there even any gas stations in town that sell 100 octane?

[veloce240sx]

that reminds me, are there even any gas stations in town that sell 100 octane?

Yes, many. There are like 4 or 5 vp's that have it.

[wakotow]

are there any gas stations...punk lol...on 4th street, Allied Washoe, they sell just about anything I'm pretty sure up to C16, I know they have 108. There is also a place on prater and sparks, or near there. Of course the simple solution is water/meth injection, then you can run on 91 and still run your 30psi (or whatever floats your boat).

I think the closest we have to drift events is when it snows and the silly californians try to drive in it...sorry. We did have one drifting event at the Grand Sierra, but that was only once...I doubt it happens again.

What if we all do a burnout in front of the student union? You two could bring your cars up, since I can't drift (I don't know about you cody), and show them what it's all about. Or you could learn me to drift, and then I can show them what it's all about.

its fairly easy and youre a pretty smart guy. I'd bet you'd pick it up quick.

[wakotow]

conceptually I think I've got it, I mostly lack a place to practice, and the money to burn through tires...

[rpS13]

whats up guys. haven't been on in a while, wired how the site looks now. and Andrew haven't made up my mind on a swap yet. finally got a part time job witch means time to spend on the whip. Haven't done shit with my car since my alternator went out on me going to work lol. so its in the drive way sittin their. read threw everything and seems like everybodys on their projects trying to get them finished and starting them. hopefully with this camaro i sell once i get it i get cash to build my car and buy a s14b!

[wakotow]

check craigslist, there's a guy in town getting rid of his rb25, if you'd like that, it's an s13 with s15 front end...it looks pretty darn good.

[veloce240sx]

Post the link to that Andrew I cant find it anywere

[rpS13]

looked for it and could not find it yo

[wakotow]

of course now that I mention it, it's gone...
number 775-8460-2516
he was asking 6500 for it

ugh... s15 front on a coupe... terrible!

[wakotow]

there are uglier things in the world

[rpS13]

there are uglier things in the world

s13 coupes and s15 front ends are one of em lol jp

got my headlights so now i need everything else for the s14a front end:cool: lol

anybody got a hood 97-98?

[ZenkiTrev]

maybe we can make it happen, i would help work on it if it meant i could do a burnout in the area in front of the student union.

LOL Every time I walk through that area I get the desire to do a giant smokey donut.

[Kurai Shimo]

im glad you are inspired! it would be hilarious to see.

[wakotow]

if either of you brings your cars up...I'll help with this doughnut deal.

[ZenkiTrev]

Honestly, I don't think it would be that hard to get away with either.

[wakotow]

I doubt the meter maids would be motivated enough to do anything about it, a little mud on the plates and that'd prolly be good enough.

[Kurai Shimo]

like i said. form a "club" and get permission.
even your car is too "illegal" looking to get very far unnoticed.
Nevada is still a red state... shot on site.

maybe with a turbo diesel truck you could blend in. (lifted of course)

[ZenkiTrev]

If I recall, we need 10 student members and a supporting faculty member to form a club through ASUN. Anyone know any gearhead professors?
That being said, I doubt even "club status" would get us permission to drift there.

[wakotow]

what if you do drifting for charity? one of the engineering professors has to like cars in one way or another.

[wakotow]

Or coincidently a ricer civic/mustang
