I say stay white, or go to a 'really out' there color.

If I was to stay white it would be cadillac pearl, but I really like the idea of black with light purple or teal flake...

[zach-Ka]

[badbob2121]

i would stay white for sure... maybe with different wheels it may look better imo

[zach-Ka]

Jarrett photoshopped my car with different wheels and I loved it. I plan on getting wheels before I do paint so I guess I will go from there.
Hopefully starting the car tomorrow!

[PyR0NiAk]

Good... Leave the white paint..

[hoosier240sx]

Yeah stay white. Trust us Marines, we have good taste...sometimes

[PyR0NiAk]

Usually, it's from something touching the alternator..

[badbob2121]

come on zach, were ready for an update...

[zach-Ka]

I know I know. I got the car all ready to start last time I was at the shop and since then I have had A LOT going on so I just havent been able to even get up there to start it. I currently have it so it doesnt pop any fuses and for some reason my fuel pump wasnt getting any power so I wired it to a switch for start up. I figure I can fix that when I actually have time. I plan on going to the shop tomorrow, but at this rate I really dont know something may come up.. haha.

[zach-Ka]

So the son of a b**** is not circulating oil for some reason or another. I drained the oil today and will be taking the oil pan off tomorrow to see whats up. Im thinking the pickup gasket is screwed or the spring assembly in the oil pump is not tight. I will see.

[some_white_guy]

f*** man, you and me both on the not circulating oil. When the car idles the oil light turns on and my car runs hella choppy and can die if it sits too long but when i rev it to like 1800+ it seems fine and the oil light turns off after a few seconds. i've replaced the o-ring in the oil pickup tube, pan gasket, primed the pump which seems fine and took the pump apart and cleaned it. i'll check back to see if you figured it out or i'll let you know if i do

[zach-Ka]

Well I pulled the oil pan and see nothing wrong. So while I had the oil pan off I re-painted it black. The rust that was on it was kinda scaring me. So I think I just didnt prime it enough...

On another note I am taking a loan out for a zenki...

When I get the sr running I will sell the car and continue my zenki build here.

[badbob2121]

what?? im suprised..

what makes you want an s14 over the s13?

[zach-Ka]

Well I always wanted a s14. I had a 97 maxima se before my s13 and I saw a zenki and was like.. " O MY GOD!, Its a two door version of my car!!" haha And from there the obsession began, and I just happened to come across a s13 with a cool system, wheels and a body kit which appealed to me at the time.
But I came across a maroon zenki completely untouched with only 129,000 miles for $1900. I cant pass that deal up.
This car has been really fun and I will miss it but I have an opertunity to do what I originally wanted to do.

[cracka400]

Hurry up and get that car already. We need a new project!

[zach-Ka]

Soon enough sir. It will be mostly suspension work and under body. Jarrett, I found a 280z that runs for $500 I think nick is gonna get it.

[cracka400]

Even still, its going to be a new project that no one has messed with before. Oh and that 280 would be awesome.

[zach-Ka]

Re-painted oil pan...


Zenki goodness...
