It's been like 3 days w/o him and this place already seems too quiet. Don't let other people ruin this for you. You're invaluable to the community and it's just cool to have you around and read about your projects.
If it makes you feel any better (and not trying to start anything here), I don't see that Night7 is advertising here on NICO anymore.

I'm here I have just been hesitant to post until I got all my pictures from my friend. Cameron wants me to post all the pictures I have been "threatening" him with and I will do so but my friend is having technical difficulties and he isn't able to email them to me. I'm going to give him a couple of CDs so he can burn them for me and Hopefully I will get them faster.
Just for all of you guys who care or have been having the same/similar problems as I..... my car still ahs that limiter although it is a bit later in the RPM band. What I have done in an Attempt to remedy This Problem is this:
1.) Change ECT (no change)2.) Check for Vacuum leaks (none present)3.) Test most sensors (A OK.... haven't tested O2 yet)4.) Sea Foam Entire Engine (Stabilized Idle, Increased power and rev speed.... no change to limiter or idle level)5.) Changed ECU (Eliminated problem and High Idle for 15 mins or So and Problem returned.... Leads me to believe its a sensor)6.) Gutted Cat and reduced exhaust restrictions as much as possible (Sounds better, Has better throttle Response, More power, Raised limiter 500-1K RPMS depending on gear)
Next on List of things to Check are Recirculator valve for sticking, actual temp (Caught it boiling in bottle after 1 hour run), Check Wastegate for overboost, Check O2 and some more sensors, and if all else fails go Standalone and eliminate the need for most sensors.
Thanks for all the kind words and I'll be chiming in once and awhile on a lower scale until I get all the Pictures and I can Shut Cameron Up. I do not know anything about photoshop nor would I waste my time making false pictures like Cameron will try and Tell you I have..... I will just post these pictures directly out of the camera with no editing and you all can be the judge of them.
If anyone wants to ask any questions or simply needs to talk to me my email is [email protected] and all of you can feel free to email me. A Couple of my friends have started a Huge project I know alot of guys will love to see and I'll try and get as many pics of it as possible from start to finish. Just alittle hint to what it is Think: Convertable, Driving on the wrong side, 2.6 liters, and four wheel burnouts!

Glad you're still here. You don't have to prove anything to me as far as the pics goes. Night's history and my own experience is enough.
I did visit his forum though and a newbie is already asking him about his history and if everything is legit. Well, I wish him the best of luck. Hopefully he's better as a moderator.

I would also be willing to buy the piping from that kit. Just let me know, and we can arrange it.

Pics would be great...if just to look at another swap. Once you get your RB all straightened out and I get my damn turbo kit done, we'll have to have a test and tune session at a local track, Phoenix or Tucson is good for me. If you have a spare O2 bung we can use my wide band....if you don't already have one that is.

WD I COULD GET MY CAR TO TUCSON.... I DON'T HAVE A SPARE O2 BUNG OR WIDEBAND YET BUT I WILL BE GETTING A TEST PIPE WITH ONE BUILT-IN AND PROBABLY BE GETTING A WIDEBAND EVENTUALLY.
I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE I HAVE OFFENDED OR PISSED OFF IN ALL THE EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPEND. I WILL TRY AND KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT ABOUT THESE SUBJECTS FROM HERE ON OUT UNLESS I HAVE SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY.
TO LET YOU ALL KNOW: I TRIED TO BE THE BIGGER MAN AND APOLOGIZE TO CAMERON UNDER THE ADVICE OF FRED (PALMERWMD) TO HELP KEEP THE PEACE AND LET ALL OF THIS GO AND MOVE ON, BUT CAMERON IS THE ONE WHO CONTINUALLY BADGERED ME AND USED MY APOLOGY AGAINST ME LIKE I WAS ADMITTING TO DOING SOMETHING WRONG. THESE EVENTS ARE OVER AND DONE WITH AND I AM SORRY FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THESE EVENTS, NIGHHT7RACING, OR ANY OF MY ACTIONS. I WILL BE REINSTALLING THESE MOUNTS SOON USING A COUPLE DIFFERENT METHODS AND IF THEY GO IN CORRECTLY I WILL GLADLY POST EVERYTHING AND ADMIT I WAS WRONG AND JUMPED THE GUN.
PS: WD ARE YOU GOING TO DO A RB TURBO KIT? WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO DO ONE AS I HAVE A FEELING MY TURBO IS ON ITS LAST LEG (REALLY LOUD WHINE AS OF LATE)?

Sure...I just need a exhaust mani gasket to have the flange fabbed up. You only want a turbo, mani and down pipe right? I could probably just use the stock mani as well. Since the log mani I would weld up will only flow marginally better then stock, since the runners are bigger.
Actually, I have a HKS Mani that was on my RB20 over in OKI. It has a Pin hole by the wastegate, but I can repair that. I'll have to pull the TO4 thats on it right now, but I'm pretty sure its drilled for a T3 or T4 Exhaust housing. You can have it for a 100 bucks. Since I'm not going RB it does me absolutly no good. If you need a cheap wastegate, I have the HKS Race Gate still installed on the mani also. I'll let it go for 50 bucks, I believe the spring is set for 9 psi.
I'd say a TO4E or B with a .63 Ar Exhaust housing would be sweet, depending on what you think is to much lag. I had the TO4E with a .81 AR and it didn't spool till 4700 but it would flow a ton of air and was great for drag. The .63 should hit boost by 3300 I'd say. My friend over in OKI has that same setup, mani and all. I can shoot him an email and see where he's hitting boost.
Then all you'll need is a down pipe.
Its a bottom mount mani by the way, I dunno what that will do for clearence issues. I can send it up to you if you want to temp install it and make sure things fit. Its just sitting in my garage taking up space right now.

projectrb (christian, now that I know your name), dont go!!I'm a noob in every since of the word but I think the RB forum is one of the best on NICO. You guys are always helping each other out with advice and spare parts. You guys are a REAL community and youre a huge part of that.I dont post much cause I have very little to contribute, but theyre are a lot of guys here who value your experience, not just the ones who post regularly, but also the 'lurkers'.
On another note, I just noticed Fred's got a 240sx now... I have a lot of catching up to do!!
