I feel ya when you dig deeper and find more crap undone or done poorly, but you came a long way already. Keep it up!
Thanks man. that s13 soundsl like mine lol. It's coming together, once I clear this engine stuff up and get it back in I should be completely done with the engine stuff then can move on to exterior and interior projects.

I set it a long time ago and don't really remember. now the engine is out and gauge isn't hooked up because I'm moving it above the steering column. When I finish all that I'll let you know. AEM has forums with a lot of information, I would post up there and ask what to do. I may do that as well because I'm not even sure I had it set right.

How did it crack btw? Too much torque? BTW, I been meaning to ask but hows the setup with your maf being close to your manifold and turbo? I may have to do that since I cant find the stock pipe for sale. Thanks for any info.
I just drain the coolant into a drain pan and reuse it. The oil neede to be changed so new oil is going in. I cracked it by trying to take the upper oil pan off without taking the nuts off of those 2 studs on teh bottom of the retainer. It was dark and I didn't see them in there. I guess that's kind of a common thing after talking to a lot of people about it. My maf isn't there anymore, when I was getting diagnostics done a local shop put a pipe on there. I would reccommend going to an exhaust shop and just get them to bend you a custom pipe, shouldn't cost more than $20-30. I atually have the stock intake if you are interested.

Oh yeah i ended up canceling my order because Intensepower was taking like 3 months to ship them.

I bought some used ksports off here a long time ago for my last 240 and they were alright. The design was nice, the threads should have been teflon coated so they didn't get corroded though. The ride was pretty bumpy but I got used to it quick.

I have 15mm's to put on the rear once my body kit goes on.

Did you install an oil pressure gauge? If so how did you contort yourself to reach the idiot light pressure sensor?

yeah they are 17x9 +35 all around. Yes the fronts probably stick out a little more than the rears but it isn't noticable. I'm going to put the spacers on the rear, I've just been lazy. I have to cut the studs because the wheels are universal and there is no room for the hub studs to go into the back of the wheel. Here is a thread explaining what I'm talking about.
