isnt that black 240 from the guy who was doing project ebay? if so then i guess he decided not to go through with his project which sucks cause i was actualy pretty interested in that thread.

[ZOMG.SR20]

yea and i bought off of him in my effforts to get it running

[turbo2nr]

OO00000000000OOOOOOOOO yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

[jazz4890]

haha thats cool have you figured out the problem yet? is everything already installed on the mototr or is there still some stuff left to be done? and is it not starting or is it just not idling?

[ZOMG.SR20]

Everything is DONE it cranks and cranks but wont start i haven't had the chance to tare it apart since i havent been able to go pick it up yet (I need a trailer....)

[jazz4890]

alright well its good that its in the car already the first things you should start with are the basics check to make sure your getting fuel to the motor make sure your getting spark check your coil packs they tend to go bad a lot and make sure your getting air to the motor check your mass airflow sensor make sure its wired up correctly and also check your cam angle sensor a lot of times these motors dont have the timing done right so you definetly wanna check to see if your timing is off. check all of that and let me know whats up after that.

[ZOMG.SR20]

will do thanks man

[Bumnah]

So project ebay ended because the motor wouldn't crank? Seems kinda like the obvious end result.

[ZOMG.SR20]

it does crank it gets spark too just wont run also must stress the motor was not bought off of EBAY

[jazz4890]

alright now check to see if its getting fuel check your fuel pump and check to make sure your injectors are spraying fuel and make sure the fuel lines are all connected right and make sure you dont have any lines wrongly connected meaning going somewhere there not supposed to. then check to make sure your maf is good and its wired right the maf is one of the main problems why it could crank but not start and dont forget timing and make sure your cas is good to and the wires are all connected right that are going to your cam angle sensor(cas).

[ZOMG.SR20]

ok new one, how do you adjust timing on the SR? cause me no see no distributor

my guess because it does exactly the same as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbGUVajCDks

[jazz4890]

Haha its the cam angle sensor I have circled it in red in this pic you can advance or retard timing with this its just like a distributor thats for simple timing for more advance timing your going to need to advance/retard the cam shafts, by taking off the belts and re adjusting them....be careful not to bend valves and make sure the marks on the pullies all line up.

[ZOMG.SR20]

would a bad CAS cause the above mention running wrong if so where do i get a replacable one like which USDM car ....... i sound like a noob when it comes to these fancy SRs

[Elbowblk]

Hows the avenger treating ya? probally decent in snow right?

[ZOMG.SR20]

dont no dont drive it it sitting in the yard with a for sale sign and ive had 9 people look at it and 5 have called back and 1 has kept asking about the other offers and well its at 2000

yea totally obvious

your so fking ignorant.

Project eBay ended because I got a job, money for a dependable, warranted, all season vehicle, and bought an STi.

Good luck with it Jacob. Looking good for a thursday pickup.

[White Comet]

[addisonblck]

that does suck that it ended...i was watchin that.

op: good luck with it man

[NismoDriver240]

Cute

It's funny, before I bought an STi, all the owners were complete douche bags, and I had a 240 and was cool with nico. Now, STi owners are normal people and it's looking to be that time of the month for nico members... well, at least one.

Did I touch a raw nerve with you? Or are you the type that makes others hate certain car communities because of the way you treat non-owners? Once you grow up, in the mental aspect, not age, you'll see that it is just a car.

It's just Nico man, And when my brother owned a STI i couldn't believe how nice sube guys are. I'm sure it has alot to do with jelousy, I mean you went from having a 240sx that was built through ebay, to a NEWish STI.

speaking of which, you should post up some pics somewhere and what the plans are for it (if any) Congrats on the purchase.

[kevinphan]

Some pics of Jesse's(NismoDriver240) STi.

[Dittoz7]

Good To See Ya Back Jess.

Saw The Rallyx Vid.

[Ghast]

Ahhhhhhhhhh I hate to be the one to go off topic, but that STI is sick.

My gf wants one but i have not taught her how to drive standard yet.

They are safe! quick, and pretty reliable as long as you maintain it.Beautiful car.

Very awesome nismodriver240, Congratz on the better job and congratz on making a smart purchase. Warranty is the exact reason my friend just sold his 97supra and MR2 to get himself an EvoX. Once i finish school i too will upgrade to a better paying job and buy myself a better daily driver. I would still like to keep the 240 as a project, besides in 4 years its a classic car. Something about that makes me want to keep it haha.

My favorite Subie video (( http://video.kenblockracing.com/flash/player/ )) Ken block during Gymkahana practice.

OP, First let me apologize for going off topic. Everything looks good so far! Keep us updated on the Running status!

One Love,

Ghasty

we can only hope. and he can sell all the junk parts... ON EBAY!!!! return it to its home.

nismodriver. you get butt-hurt too easily. the sube is nice. a car with a warranty does not make one mature tho. it just means you can whine to someone else when things break. not my cup of tea.

but then again im the immature type that likes to work on my own car.

either way, OP, good luck rescuing this damsel in distress. shes an ugly cheap whore right now, but you can make her pretty and classy

whats funny is i probably hang out with more sube owners than you do. just cus i own a 240 doesnt mean i worship it. ill admit its an oldass "sports" car. i am part of a healthy touge scene in my area, i dont care what car you drive, what matters is you are pushing your car to its limits through curves, and having a blast, not hoping that the dealer will warranty my car if an OBD check engine light comes on.

how much of your own work have you done on your sube? what wheels are those? exhaust?
