Score updateTMS-2Xero-1(the gnomes were funny, but not quite as good as DNA thirsty smufs. I told you that would be hard to beat)

Yup, "makodonas":pface

Why do you pound your fist against the wall grasshopper, it will not fall. Sun Tzu said "the battle is won before it begins" and you have not begun to plumb the depths of my engineering depravity.

I am getting ready for a drag race this sunday that has taken a turn for the worst for me(see thread over in the Skyline forum, "Mr Thumper goes to the drags")Tonight I am plumbing a system to spray raw freon onto my intercooler during the run. I come up with wacky crap like that all the time. I'll say this about being poor, it makes you think;)

good lord, raw freon? I dont think that's the most environmentally concious thing you could do

Of course, I've dumped my share of freon into the environment...that stuff smells bad if I remember right!

R134 not R12, that's ozone freindly right?

Post by **Nathan** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

ahhh, thats that new crap isnt it? I'd forgotten about it...I have no idea if it is, but probably

Good luck either way!!

lol!! doode, I need to move to Japan, we could make some killer sheit, unstopable junk! lol!!

I give, I don't think I can challenge you just yet, I've got many things to learn, well...mostly my brain has been on hold lately, but that's beside the point, my sig is being changed

how about taking two straight 8's and making a flat 16 quad turbo? Think it can't happen?

Or mount em side by side on a single bizzare crank.

Looks like a f**kin gatling gun! Something a damn transformer would strap to his arm.

It's alright Xero. But you do get a constellation prize. TMS will let you sit in his car at his drag race and push the button to spray the freon on the intercooler. But because you lost, you have to jump out of the car right after the run and stick your tounge to the frozen intercooler and let TMS drive around with you stuck to the front of the car till your tounge melts loose. Sound like a deal? heheheh

I hope someone didn't say freon "smelled bad" cause if what I've heard about it is true, one good breath of that stuff and you'll never breathe again.

Post by **Nathan** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

Hahaha, that would have been me...yeah, when I was like 14 or something my friend and I thought it'd be cool to have a fridge someone was throwing away (I have no idea why we wanted the stupid thing) so we flipped it end over end down the street until we got to his house, right around then the coolent line broke and what I'm assuming was freon (it was really bad smelling and cold...) started spraying all over so we hauled @$$ inside until it stopped

When we went back out it just smelled really disgusting and felt kinda oily. Maybe it wasnt freon then!

Ouch! Man I stll remember that kid in "a Christmas Story" stuck to that flagpole. I love the way his buddies just bailed on him, that's your freinds for you:pface

Post by **float_6969** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

Thats what made me think of the "tounge to the frozen intercooler" comment. I'd like VIDEO of that!

Post by **themadscientist** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

well I got it all plumbed up yesterday just to discover that the hose I have is for R12 and has a different sized fitting than the cans of R134 I bought.

Back to the store!

Post by **Nismo1182** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

they sell the fittings at any parts store here, i assume its the same way in hi-tech Japan. Im going to buy the R134 retro kit tomorrow, the cans include some special oil for the system.

Post by **Xero** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

that's in interesting idea, but I think CO2 will do just fine, since I don't really plan on making THAT much power, my engine'll blow long before my turbo quuits out, or should I say my hypothetical turbo, damnit, a year is too long, grrrrrr...

if you like that you will love the thread going on in the Nico General section "ready whip shot"

Another reason to get the CA would be that everything down to the pistons are available at your local nissan dealership from the ca18de (IN THE US!!!)

And NAPA, Discount Autoparts, Autozone, local junkyards, etc.

Post by **Xero** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

I prefer NAPA and Schucks

but I really don't have anything that has broken yet, but soon, oh yes, soon

Post by **slw240sx** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

i perfer not to be raped by the parts stores around here, but iam, cause my motor eats parts like no other

Post by **ST240** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

ya but atleast you can get them :p

Post by **midwestdrifter** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 10:27 am

yeah but cant you also get sr20det parts from the sr20de state side.

Quote »yeah but cant you also get sr20det parts from the sr20de state side.[/quote] yeah, but you will get raped for $$'s. The SR20 doesn't share anything with any other nissan motor. Parts for the CA aren't as expensive as SR parts..........

ohh, hrmm. thanks for the info
