93 240sx se coupe

[gigabit240]

so its been a while since ive posted and update but ive got allot more body work done ive picked up a pignose and i got the timing finally set right and i had to go through and repair my damn maff but ill have some updated photos tommorow or later tonight if i actually get off my a** to go to the garage

I haven't seen this thread up in a while.. Sorry about the loss.

Goin KA-T is a pretty good choice as I stated before. I recommend you stick with stock internals with a new head gasket and run an 8psi daily like most of the KA-T guys around here. Since you already bought yourself a t25 getting the rest of the parts for installation shouldn't be to difficult. The cam shaft issue is pretty odd though. I've never heard or seen anything like that before. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Seeing where rust is starting to come through in some area's, I guarantee it is already under most panels you can't see

were is this rust you speak of

[omgshawn]

I was looking at the pics on the first page. Clearly visible. And I am talking about where panels are joined/overlapped from the factory.

A good example of what I'm talking about

well look again man i looked at that link and my car has no rust like what it showed in there and did you not read everyone elses posts on the first page everyone one was saying what a rust bucket and like i told them ill tell you as well the only rust on the vehicle was were the body damage was but that is all taken care of now i have litteraly been in just about every nook and cranny in that damn thing and there is no rust the car is still somewhat dirty but thats about it

[omgshawn]

So you drilled out all the spot welds and pulled every panel apart? I'm not trying to start something but you are clearly exaggerating...All I did was make a valid point..

[troyw]

how did you make a valid point you sead you saw rust i asked were you didnt say you didnt highlight in any photo nothing and of course i didnt drill s*** out and look for it i looked at every visible point on the the vehicle under the carpet under that on top of the car everywere that is visible with you eyes and a flash light so unless you can physically see the rust on my car then just stop

well thanks for the complament and the only reason that stuff buged me was cause he sead he saw it and its there when he couldnt prove it so oh well

[omgshawn]

That line of rust/dent right there. It should of been cut out and replaced. You need to learn to take criticism. If you want to shut me up then go take some pictures of under your rockers and prove me wrong...

And btw, it's spelled SAID

[troyw]

hahaha like i sead in most of the first posts and photos that has been taken care of and ok when there is actually light outside tommorow i will take photos haha

[omgshawn]

Said...

What did you do with it? Sand it and fill with bondo? I can clearly tell by the color of that rust it should of been cut out and replaced with new metal, was that done? Really I'm not trying to start something but you're the one who's saying it's done right so I asked, no reason to get mad son

[troyw]

oh yah and cant remember is i put it in the post but that rust spot you pointed out was actually a gash in the side were they sead they accidentaly hit it with there trailer and it was just surface rust on there thank god it wasnt actually rusting through so i took and wire brush to it and used my body hammers and put it back the best i could

[troyw]

and if i would have had a welder i would have much ratherd to cut it out and weld in a new piece thats the only reason i didnt

[troyw]

ok since im on here i guess il post some pics of some parts ive gotten recently well first is the t25 turbo i picked up for 100 bucks with very little side to side shaft play and no up and down the only down side of this one is it didnt come with the turbo inlet and compressor elbow but hopefully ill find one soon second is the circuit sports test pipeand third is a set of coilovers that some guy gave me and dont mind that there are only three in the photo i put one of them on just to make sure everything would clearhttp://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv29 ... to0039.jpg[/img]

Sorry that I state my opinion...there's like 120K members on here you can't expect to agree with everyone

I'm not trying to be a prick either I was just making an observation. If it was done right then props to you; 80% of people half a** s*** and try to pass it off as good and that just bugs me

[troyw]
