Haha thanks. I got such a damn deal on this car... caught it on the tail end of a VERY well done project. I've put another grip of dough into her though just to get reliability for the track.

A few of the new goodies:

o.k here is my delema, after three failed atempts of doing audio in my s13 i gave up a said fu*k it!!!!!!!!i'm not into audio anyway!!!

BrianHarte i know you know someone from risky devil. can you ask one of them if i can make some risky devil stikers for me and some of my buddies with there s13's?i want to rock them on my car because they are a kick *** team!!!!!

Maybe you should start your start your own little band of Jersey misfits and get someone to design a sticker (if car audio escapes your grasp I'm sure computers design is out of the question) that fits your style instead of using someone elses - just a thought. Maybe a copy of the cover of "Origin os Species", and you could call yourselves something like "Darwinism in Action" or "Dying Breed" in preparation for your awesome SOHC powered street drift that launches you into a concrete wall/light pole/tanker truck - whatever. Maybe a name like "The Chappaquiddick 5" (or whatever number fits - and you could all go get smashed on Natty Light and see who's the best driver, extra style points for hanging a Ted Kennedy bobble head from your towhook. Again - just ideas.

Here's one that even in its simplicity seems a bit too polished for your grammar-less soul.

no dude. this guy has been fu*king up everything on my computer. stealing my photobucket account posting up my pics ,messing with my myspace, i'm trying to get his account canceld. and i just found out today i have'nt been on this fourm in a while,and i just regestered

Wow.

You suck at lying, you suck at covering your tracks, you suck at creating a new account, you suck at fooling people into thinking you're 'new'...

...but you're really good at getting banned.

Please go suck someplace else. Assclown.

[AZhitman]

p.s. Matt, good to see you here.

Consider this an official demand for a seperate thread featuring that sexyass car.

Thanks, Greg! Were you out at the Oct. 4-5 event at PIR by chance?

Haha indeed. I'll add on to this one ( zer...age=1 ) tonight with a bunch of the new photos. I've got a few vids I should post, too. Need to re-shoot some, though, because I forgot to take off the license plate. doh

wait ... but here's my real question. if the intake for your turbo, is on the right with those two K&N filters.what does this metal suction box do...

It's the stock rb26 manifold.

That is a ram intake for the oil cooler. '' It gets fresh air and the pull fan spits the hot air down the cold side of the motor.

You can see the back end of it in the shot with the oil lines coming from the block. The line that "t's" into that is the accusump, coming from the firewall.

That oil cooler setup was the genius of Richard Garcia of Dyno Comp. It stays cool... too cool in fact, if I keep the fans on during normal driving. That's in AZ weather, too. Most of the time I have my other headlight slapped in there. It's only when I track the car that I put that intake on.

Hat's off to them, too. They are the first shop of many I've been to since I've been modding cars that actually kept on-time.

Sadly, no. Getting the G and 240 prepped for a couple events coming up tho... I'll be doing the IOS trackday at F-bird this weekend, just cleaning up some tuning issues with the Pro EFI.

[mattblancarte]

Nice! I've only driven firebird west... but that was tons of fun. From what I've seen on youtube, main and east are just as awesome.

[xdarkrune]

[AZ89two4Tsx]

I'll be doing the IOS trackday at F-bird this weekend

Please tell me more about this trackday you speak of.

[iandrew89]

im working on gutting my interior just so the whole inside can be painted and then all new carpet, seats, and everythings going back in. but i have to get the best quality of things to put into the car. i do not want to make it look like i did it as cheap and fast as possible. thats y i have an old beat up 240 to just drive around until i can get my other one done n whn i say beat up i mean like bout to fall in half due to rust beat up

[AZhitman]

I could use some help getting my track wheels down there, setting up the tent, handing out t-shirts, and scribbling down phone numbers of cute female Infiniti owners.

[Razi]

Woo Matt your car is sooo clean.I'm sorry if this has been asked before but..what are your wheels/tire specs?

.end thread jack

[OM3GA]

Kind of old pics, but the car is mostly the same. I drive it everyday, with an open downpipe SR.









Be warned that regardless of your exhaust or motor, it is loud. You will hear every little rock that hits the underside of your car, which happens often. Rain splashing in your wheel wells is magnified. You can hear the exhaust gases exiting the pipes. It gets very cold because there's no insulation.

Just fair warning. Like I said, I drive it everyday and I don't mind, but then again I'm a kid and I don't mind not being able to hear anything but my loud motor.

Clean and gutted indeed! I am stumped right now, I really want to pull my carpet out but i do not want the wires exposed on the drivers side to the left of your feet.. how it runs along the bottom near the door sills... what do you do about those wires? I do not want any chance of them getting stepped on or damaged and i would rather not have them exposed what shall i do? what have you all done?!

[OM3GA]

Cmon please answer me someone!

[the converted]

Why not start a thread about it?

[inertiadrft]

Cmon please answer me someone!

That bunch of wires is usually, well not usually but Always covered with a wierd plastic casing that is supossed to protect that harness and keep it from moving around. If you really wanted to "protect" the wires, I wold run that harness inside some kind of small diameter PVC piping or something alike. Or just tape the hell out of that harness and loom it! Idk

[S13Teddy]

Cmon please answer me someone!

I tried to run all of those wires inside that part under the door panel, but it doesn't connect to the rest of the Quarter Panel.

So instead I just ran them into that hole where the seatbelts bolt into. Oh well. It doesn't bug me too much, event though out of that cluster of wires, I really only need a select few (taillights)

17x8.5front, 17x9.5rear both are 22 offset

[__CURRTISS__]

o.k dude what the f*ck is your problem? did you wake up PMS'ing this morning?i don't give 2 $hits what you think about my car! i am no a poser and me and my friends did not jump on the 240sx bandwagon because we got tired of our civics. are 240's are the first cars we have ever owned.and as far as saying my car is stock ,it's not if you have noticed those pics were taken about 6 months ago. and as far a the ka24de-t i am doing the build up right know since my car is getting some body work done. but realy you need to go and craw under the rock you came from and stop acting like you are better than everyone else

ok dude seriously shut the FCK up because your giving our generation a bad name. Im 16 and im saving as much as possible to buy a 240. I hate when little fanboys come on here taking about disrespecting crews and doing dumb *** **** like making another account to flame themselves??? ****s retarded and u said ur gettin body work done, why dont you go ahead and add some pulsing neon lights under the car while your at it, I hate this ish because when i finally get my car go out im gonna have to deal with this **** and work 2 times as hard just to gain an ounce of respect. I may say dumb **** like most of the people our age but i own up to my ****. Just admit ur a fanboy...STOP being one . work on perfromane BEFORE ****IN BODYWORK and do **** the right way

[Ramonesfreak2010]

especially if its a stock car thats gutted for no apparent reason.

Well I mean I have my trunk gutted (only the carpet) because I have holes in my hatch and it rained a lot last weekend so everything in my trunk got wet so I decided to throw away the carpet since it was soaked... I took out my back seats because I hate it when people ask you for rides and you don't even know them...

Guys you barely know: "Ey man give us all a ride"Me: "Sorry I don't have back seats"

[tramp_drift240]

the trunk reason is a decent one, i suppose. i ran my black coupe with nothing in the trunk since i just didnt need any of it.

as for the back seats, you could just man up and tell the people off when they try to bum a ride.

or you can be 6'3 (like myself) and deny anyone a seat since theres no way im scooting up to let people sit comfortably.

ive always had a rear seat, but once i installed my coilovers it was bye-bye to backseaters.

[xdarkrune]

yep yep! i took the seatbelts out of the rear. BUT i kept the seats in. my interior is in too nice of a shape to gut it. but i never drive people around so the seatbelts said bye bye!

looks much cleaner that way anyway
