BTW, I don't know much about the transmission (im a lot more knowledged about the motor), so I don't know how this happened. It doesn't have a rev limiter. The tach still works perfectly but I accidently pushed it to 8,000 rpms the other day. In my old S13, the revs automatically cut out at 6,300 i think it was. Why would it not have a limiter but still be able to accurately read the rpms?

And now for the pictures :

Lemme know any ideas you guys have. I think im gonna fix the fender/turn signal first, then windsheild. I also think im gonna smoke the tails.

If it's good or if it's fortune I can't tell,
but pieces come together for some reason just as well

Actually, upon further inspection (and clear pictures) you could notice the whole front end is a little off. Its been in more than one accident. The driver door, driver fender, and hood have been replaced. The front end where the headlights are mounted is bent and twisted a bit. Yeah, i venture to say 2-3 accidents. But straight!

that thing looks super clean!!!! good find!!!

Thank you!

Auto ECU removes speed limiter not rev...........right?

Sux it's more then just the fender...

smoking the tail lights? hmmmmmmmmmm

I did that a little while ago. Car went above 7k when I did a small burn-out. It puzzles me still to this day. My car too reads RPS acuratly and it still has the speed limiter. I'm thinking that if the RPMs go up fast enough, the computer doesn't have time to catch it. Just like my friend and his Saturn SL2. He would shift into neutral (Auto) and back into Drive (flooring the gas every shift) and on the 3rd shift into neutral the car would rev all the way to 9k RPMs.

Here are a couple of crap night shots

And the tinted tails!!!

wanna see better... or more

This saturday I'm taking her into my buddy's work and we are gonna put her on the lifts and fix the e-brake. Finally. I hate having to put the car in gear when its not running, let alone to use the tranny as a parking brake.

As of right now, Im painting the carpet black. There were a bunch of stains in the carpet that I didn't want to deal with. And I also think black > grey. I'm still going to reupholster the seats with microsuede, although IM not going to do it. I've never done it before and I don't want to screw up. So I will just have it done professionally.

After the e-brake gets fixed, I've got a hook-up on a brand new windshield and installation so probably gonna get that done as well as pull off the passenger fender and hammer out most of the dent. Anything is better than the condition it is in now.

Next paycheck Im going to get a universal cat cause my exhaust doesnt have one. The guy I bought it from said it fell off while he was driving. I figured he just had it put back on. Nope. I looked under the car yesterday and found my car to have the exhaust welded from the exhaust manifold all the way back to the muffler. Cause right now my exhaust is stock, except for the missing cat, but sounds loud and ricey as hell.

If I put the 3" catalytic converter on and buy a 3" cat-back exhaust, would it be quiet? My Exhaust is starting to rust and when I buy the cat I just want to go ahead and buy the cat-back. But in no way shape or form can it be loud. So what do you think? 3 inch cat, 3 inch cat-back exhaust with resonator and silencer, will it be real quiet?

Anyways, today (Friday) Im going to try and finish painting the carpet and maybe headliner. I'll take pix and what not and upload them (resized though)

Until later today

OK now the question. In "ILikeMy240sx" write-up on timing chain for the DOHC found here, http://forums.nicoclub.com/zer...age=1, maybe I didn't see it but the timing chain guides, should I remove them or replace them. I've got that rattle-can/marble in the can sound coming from the front of the head/valve cover, so I just want to be sure I can safely remove them or replace them.

Got the e-brake fixed as well. I spent 10minutes the other day wrenching on the handles' bolt connected to the cable to tighten it up. It still didn't work. So my buddy grabbed his air wratchet and went away with it. FINALLY it worked. LOL it was REALLY loose, IDK why but I do know that I need new rear pads. I hear metal grinding. FTL.

thx

Ive been meaning to do this for a while and replace my valve cover gasket, but i dont have the time or a torque rench.

Cracked dash (should be easy to fix)

Rust!

F'd up front end

Front end wacked up!

Another taillight pic

The 37" HDTV in taking back to walmart. I need a smaller tv otherwise I would keep this one!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures, more to come. This will be an on going thread. Once I get FULL FORCE into it, I'll start a build thread. Stay tuned, A LOT more to come!

Thanks for looking!

As for the drifting thing... probably. The previous owner was 17. He said he ran into a "fence" He also has a hella clean Supra. I'll take a picture of it sometime and post it.

Thanks Asmar!

Ordered my catalytic converter today as well. Should be here within a week. Then Im gonna order a cat-back exhaust. I also spotted a Japanese climate control that I might buy. I also am thinking of getting clear turn signals.

I also ordered a valve cover gasket and spark plug gasket from o'reilys so today (Wed) I'm picking them up and pulling the valve cover off. Then I'm gonna sand, primer, and paint the cover. I'm also going to check the timing chain guides. They seem to be a bit too noisy lately.

OK, well thats all the update for now. I will be on later today to give an update.
