Behind Enemy Lines ?!?!?

[keith0486]

welcome to nico and thank you for not being a dumb ricer you have teaste for a honda guy what is something to dont see to often around where im at atleast.

[troskinatior]

but yea today's so called Honda tuners are hurting the industry. It gone way to far, I mean as far as in true enthusiast now its all about the hype and wire tucks and crazy low offset wheel on the wrong drivetrain.

if i had any extra money i would wanna honda but i hate the new trend example:[/img]

[ELICT2]

WOW?!?!?!?.....check out the yellow minivan. UHHMMMMM I mean si. Yea so anyway took some pics today. I have to find my card reader to upload them I should have them up sometime tomorrow. Great new my clutch came in today so I yanked off the trans took off the clutch and flywheel and to my surprise I am guessing that that weird thing is a pilot bearing. I dont see how this is even called a bearing at all but oh well. So I get to go buy Nissan related tools now. Time to hit up the tool truck!!!

[ELICT2]

On a side note this will also be a up to date build along kinda thing. No baller status or dumping insane amounts of cash, just normal BS that the average joe or anyone can do ( Well i hope )

[SirSilvia]

welcomei knew nothing about cars before i came to this website and i've learned quiet alot.Its not that we hate all hondas we just hate ricer hondas......which sadly turn out to be the majority of them

Yeah I didn't know the history of my 240 till I tried working on it and looking up information on it, and NICO is #1 just about always. And if 9 of 10 honda owners weren't dbags, it would be a different story for sure. I wanna put a bullet through any engine that has an exhaust that sounds like a bumble bee on crack.

[breadbox]

Welcome, and you seem to be well on your way.

I loved my first car, 99 SI.

[GTR PrYdE]

Welcome! No Honda hate here, my best friend has a ek hatch with a 420whp turbo b18c5

[ELICT2]

Yea Honda drivers say the same about Nissan drivers.....well at least I have been on both sides of the road to see from both ways. Any way here are the pics I took today only two because this is what I am working on now only. I am known for my clean motors and engine bays. No... I'm not talking about that shave tuck monkey a** B/S. I hope I do the Nissan community justice here what I've got so far.



wish me luck.

[wanganss13]

Welcome to the club! Good luck with all your projects.

[lino]

Welcome to Nico . This place is awesome. People here are real friendly and very knowledgeable. You will feel right at home in no time.

[troskinatior]

Yea Honda drivers say the same about Nissan drivers.

really... what do they say?

[ELICT2]

Its back on the first page I think about 30th something reply from the top down. Why does it even matter it's childish anyway. On another note i received my Momo hub today and I didn't know that the Nardi wheel is a diffrent set up and I have to buy an adapter. I am leaning toward the Works Bell unit. I am also waiting on to receive my flywheel to get back from the machine shop from being reserfaced. I will give more updates this weekend. Thanks for reading....

[GTR PrYdE]

You could always sell and get a NRG hub or an ebay hub (super cheap, works fine). The ebay hub takes both nardi/momo

[ELICT2]

Yea I tried one of those EBAY units from a friend of mine. It would fit but still ramain loose a little more than I like. Plus i want to do it the first time. Thanks for thee info none the less. i got my flywheel back today and a buch of stuff came in from Cali and from Hong Kong. I cant wait tilll tomorrow and start preping everything to get the motor ready to go in. Its time to get durty.

[TroubleBound]

Good luck with the KA install everything is looking pretty good that was a clean honda you had hopefully the 240 will end up as clean/cleaner.I'll be checking back for pics and updates.Welcome to Nico.

[ELICT2]

Got a little bit done today. Most part of it was getting that damn pilot braring out. The socket and grease so called trick is a pain 2 hr. wasted. So went and rent the tool from Auto Zone less than 5 min it came out Also replaced the oil pan seal, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs. valve vover gasket bla bla yada yada ect. Hope to have it running tomorrow night???

[ELICT2]

Here are some pics of work getting done from last night.I got the flywheel and the sockect trick just wasn't working for me.

And after a hr or so and making a trip to Auto Zone to get the right tool, victory at last.

Random pic of the work area.

The clutch and flywheel.

Pic of the motor on the stand with the oilpan off.

My buddy Aaron doing work on the pan to clean off the old gasket and to reseal with the new stuff.

I will star cleaning the bay and replace my steerin rack bushings tonight. I was hoping to have it running by tonight but some family things needs to come first. Happy Halloween to everybody. Here is your Halloween candy enjoy:dthumb

i hate it when people dont understand how to set-up their wheels correctly. why in the hell is the lower off set wheels on the back of a fwd car?

welcome tho

[ELICT2]

I got some updates....It is hard to work on this car while working 10 hr. shifts so not much to put up today. I replace the steering rack bushings they were in bad shape and today and took some shots from under the car. I found out I have an A.I.T D1 kit and a 3 in. exaust. I havent been able to look at it much since I got it but oh well here are some pic's...

[SERUM]

[ELICT2]

[bdp07]

Is this not done yet Eli?

Get to working..

[ELICT2]

So I have been busy these last couple of days. I finally got the motor in it took 4 of us to get in because of the one peice stainless steel header and solid motor and transmission mounts. i got the interior looking normal with my Nardi wheel and Razo knob. I have to finish the wiring in the cabin and the fuse box. The inside wireing isnt all that bad I have to convert the plugs so time to cut and color match the wires because they are both male ends and then get power to the fuse box because the battery is in the trunk. I have to get a top radiator hose for the KA and wire in the fans. I picked up a RPS13 front sway bar from a friend. I have to order the front end links from Nissan soon. So not too much further to go. Here are some crappy pics of the progress.

[ELICT2]

On another note I pick up my DOHC throttle cable Fri. the single is way short....

[saywuh]

i know nothing bout nissan before i came to this site.now im a members of this site and still know nothing about nisan ..lol just kiding !

[ELICT2]
