i got good suspension coming . as far as tuning it and driving it will be a learning experience. i drove with the sr swap all summer ran it on 14 psi every once in a while so it isnt like i am doing a huge jump.

my idle is weird. it is at 900 which is where my enthalpy tune is set for. but ever yonce in a while it like staggers and drops down to about 750 some times 500. and sometimes it stalls a little when i give it gas. then it start going up.

hmm ok well you didnt mess with the boost pipeing or any couplers did you if so maybe a boost leak but idk all that you did.

1. did you make sure to put the CAS back toi think 15 degrees with TDC

It sound like something to do with air i think cuase mine kind of does that to and i havent fully gone over everything with mine yet.

this is after setting the timing with a timing gun..... it has to be something with the iacv possible. but i mean now that i know my idle is suppose to be around 900 then i might be able to get a stabler one.

i know it isnt the TPS casue it is set at stoc kand never got messed with.

im sorry man. . you know what bugs me is when people are all talk about stuff and never do it.sure dreams are good. but what is the point of having dreams if we dont work towards them.

last year in high school my whole 2nd semester was spent planing out this build. that was before i even got the car.

another thing i hate is when people start builds and never finish them. half assed projects and half done ones piss me off. it is just part of being to lazy.

I don't really have much to say... I came, I saw, I mehhed. I might change the meh to something else when I see the car on the ground, buuut.... the whole "hot rod look" or whatever... I'm not seeing it I guess.

idahotuner wrote:well cody you talked me into it. i check out the phase2 and 240sxmotoring items for a z32 swap. and there is no reason to do a q45 brake up grade. looks lie ki can get every thing from them. the rotors drilled for 4 lug all ready. which is cool.

all i will need is the BMC. unless you can get me the calipers for cheaper. i had one guy offer them to me for 200 and the ywere aluminum. but i think i will just go with the iron ones.

plus the z32 ones look alot cooler then the q45 brakes. . they will look good painted green with the nissan part sanded off and shinny. haha cant wait.
200 bucks for 30mm Aluminum calipres is a STEAL and I may just grab them for that much! Who is selling them Be sure they are not 26mm setups, you don't want those hehe.

I can still get the BMC...keep in contact with me over email about that stuff

yeah i understand when people cant afford to do a build. but i hate it when they get into one and realize it is way over their head and dotn finish it.
