Your door panels remind me of RS door panels for 911s.
Cool stuff. I'd like to see the results of your twin charger setup.

hey you should post more pics of how you did that little gauge pod for the af r that isa cool little idea i might have to copy

Post by **martins_240sx** » Sat Sep 18, 2010 8:33 am

I wish i could...my computer crashed with those on it....but what i did was, Went to home depot and found a piece of pvc type tube...it was black. Note the gauge didnt fit in, way too tight. I took a file and shaved off some of the inner diameter of the pvc. I then traced the diameter of the pvc onto the bezel. With a dremel I cut it out. Then I took and positioned the pvc in the angle i wanted and secured it with jb weld stick....I used the jb weld stick to shape the entire thing. its kinda like clay but hard as a rock and doesnt crack like bondo. make sure you get the back of the bezel and pvc. then after i got it to the ruff shape i wanted i took regular jbweld, the 2 part mix, and spread it over the area like a glazing putty. I let it dry and then sanded it. Let the whole thing cure for a few days before painting it. sorry no pics

yeah i did a custom 3 gauge set up and avcr where the radio goes. used jb weld to do that. but this looks very nice.

Jb weld is like baking soda...you can use it for anything

so me and my buddy (s13 with ls1 and ford 9inch rear end rocking 335 street slicks, lifting tires on demand) were brainstorming on my pully setup...it has been decided that im going to make an engine plate that will bolt in 3 spots on the timing cover/block and 1 to solid mount the alternator. it will be reverse fashion meaning the pullies and belts will be hidden. Im gonna mock up the board template today and then move to the aluminum and then take it to the water jet to cut it out of 3/4 plate...

Post by **martins_240sx** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 6:00 pm

He jokes around about doin that from time to time...Im sure he will once he starts his twins. the thing is already a monster. it will still light of those 335 like they are 205s...i think he is around 440 ish...beautiful car...ill convince him to come back. Im sure all my local buddies on here have seen or heard it drive by

A SOHC doesn't sound so bad anymore

Post by **martins_240sx** » Tue Oct 12, 2010 9:08 pm

thats what im trying to tell everyone....why sohc? why not? less complicated and willing to take the boost

Post by **breadbox** » Wed Oct 13, 2010 9:59 am

The belts are setup better and the oil pump is easy to replace. Love SOHC.

well i was trying to assemble my head and i got as far as installing my solid lifters. for some reason they are binding up. i cannot rotate the cam. i had this same problem on my last head. i returned the lifters and he sent me new ones. i have them all the way backed out but they just wont allow the cam to turn. also when i un did the jam nut the unit just spun inside the lifter. i will try to contact omar on monday to see what his opinions are.

Post by **martins_240sx** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 9:18 pm

nevermind about my previous post....blonde moment

lol ^^ what did you do?

Post by **martins_240sx** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 12:17 am

well...let me just say that i was really questioning my knowledge on the very basics of engine operation....all the schools all the certifications and i really looked like an idiot...good thing i was the only one around....

little teaser.....

those valve cover t's are gonna be cut down and powder coated the same color as the charge pipe...black chrome maybe

Website · Post by **motoman399** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 12:41 am

i bet the valves were hitting the pistons.... haha. i tried to put my engine in my toyota pickup the other day. i put the clutch/flywheel on before the dust plate haha. oops. so i took it back off and fixed it.

dont worry mistakes happen.

Post by **martins_240sx** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 12:53 am

no it was even worse...the head was off. i was trying to rotate the cam and it wouldnt move. I was thinking what the heck is going on with this lifter having no clearence. turns out that that lifter was trying to open that valve so there would be no clearence. I couldnt rotate the damn cam because these springs are so damn tough...long story short...I dont know why but i was thinking that there should have been clearence the entire rotation of cam...which offcourse is impossible. 6 hours later i went back and face palmed myself

It was early in the morning
