Idaho Tuner's 240/|SR Build thread

[pflicht]

That sux man. But i like the look of the car even primered. Badass mang!

[idahotuner]

well i got an appointment with a body shop today at 4 for them to look at it and tell me waht they think can be done.

[datsun2401972]

Damn man...I gotta 91 hatch just sitting here with no front end too...just waiting for someone needing a rolling chassis...

Yah, I'm definitely gonna take your experience to heart. I'll take my coupe down to the laser frame shop and make sure it's straight before I go investing lots of time into it.

I hope you find a good "roller" soon!

Without a video

[idahotuner]

sounds like ur car needs a cradle shift

that is what i was thinking possibly. the guys at the body shop said that might be the main deal too. i am going upload some pics from today. and i too ka video while driving. the turbo is so loud with the piping pro intake and then the BOV is so touchy. wantting to go off lol.

[idahotuner]

here are some pics.

it started to rain so i came home and parked it



its a beast runnign at only 10 psi. that isnt even the turbo sweet spot.

[sbird1]

Did you do anything with the rear brakes? Are you running stock brakes in the back or did you do the full thing? I'm sorry, I don't feel like looking through everything to find out the answer.

[idahotuner]

stock rears. the cluth has a little bit of weird feel in it though. so i am not sure waht is up with that. maybe it is just my heavier duty clutch

[Kalypso]

delicious

i notice your front bumper has some driplike it got distorted or pulled

I have the same warping - any thoughts on to fix that.

the fenders are pulled in to far. that is my reason for those. i will need to extend the fender braces.

the more i think about it. the more i think your correct.

[Kalypso]

what is a cradle shift

[idahotuner]

cradle shift means the rear subframe bushings are shot and the rear subframe shifted over one way or an other.

[idahotuner]

so i need to geta new fan belt to. i dont know why i didnt replace it while the motor was out. bwe

[idahotuner]

here isa video yall. not the big one we made .j usta short clip fro mthe drive home yestterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=829Y3WZ4ioM

[datsun2401972]

youtube, doh, I'll have to wait till I get home...

You gonna get solid subframe bushings to fix the cradle shift?

[JRPS13]

yah, just from the sounds of it sounded exactly like my buddies car i recommended he mention it with his alignment and sure enought problem solved, just thought id pass it on!

oh and the car is looking real good, came along nicely cant wait for the paint.

[idahotuner]

possible i am unsure. at the moment. its going to suck though. i paid 76 for an alignment. and then i fix the cradle and will have to get the rear end aligned again.

the body shop said the same thing. i did put ES collars in on the sub frame. but it is weird.

Don't expect tire shredding boost. Ben you drive like my Grandma.

[idahotuner]

Don't expect tire shredding boost. Ben you drive like my Grandma.

hey it was wet and it was my first time driving it. lol

tomorrow i will get some tire shredding videos. lol

haha but about me driving lieka gradnma. my car is lieka drug to me. i get a craving for boost go out and fill it. then when i feel like i have filled it and am pushing my self to much in it. i park it and go back to my accord until i get the urge again. i should have got custom plates that said BSTADCT lol .

and in the video i am trying to catch the sound of the turbo spooling but i dont do a very good job. and thats why i am in a higher gear.

[Slideways^Jordan]

nice vid but i still want to see the othe r bigger video you say you made.

[cmoody2006]

Looking good I like those brakes lol great mind's think alike... I have to wait from some more parts to come in till my car is ready to get an alignment... grrrr.... but w/e I think you should look into rear valence's since you have really wide arse rims and tires I think s mild one would look nice on there Like maybe the type-x one's but thats just my opinion. I'm not really a fan of the silvia front end I like the pop-up's but your's looks good. Do you have the cneter Silvia garnish or are you leaving it off the car? Are you thinking about kouki tail lights? I think those would look good on there 2 even with it being in primer. Haven't checked up on your build in a while been busy workin.... One final question... Have you decided on what color your going with?

[idahotuner]

i am not doing any areo, because those huge tires are only going to last as long as they last and then i am getting 235s all the way around and dropping the rear.

kouki tail lights are something i want badely but i am not going to spend any moeny on extra things like that tell i get some stuff sorted out.

i am painting the car blue. lieka dark midnight blue. with black roof. it will be badarse let me tell you lol.

[sbird1]

Very nice man. I'm with Ryon though, you drive like a grandma. You ought to do a "chase" video with someone following you or something.

[datsun2401972]

Doh, still haven't watched the vid yet...owell, I'll get my chance. And don't let those guys get to ya, it's your baby. You just take your sweet time getting used to the new boost.

But when you do get the feel down, you should definitely do a chase vid!

So on the cradle shift, they just had a unbolt/rebolt the subframe?

Goin with the super streched look with 235's on those big boys?

[idahotuner]

well here is a little update. my frame isnt bent. but my rear subframe is. so we are checking to see if the only 240 in the junk yard hasa good one to replace mine. and so that means my craddle isnt shifted. but i am going to replace my bushings any how....

after driving the car all weekend. i have decided to renta roller or hit up some people to see if they would let me borrow one. or rent it. so hit me up if you have one

my suspension is set way to stiff it isnt even fun to drive. lol

i maneged to wear through my front wiring harness o nthe passenger side with my tired but its an easy fix. and i will relocate it.

i need to adjust my clutch or bleed the line some more. cause it isnt engaging tell the pedal is almost al lthe way out. and when i turned the boost up to 16psi it wouldnt engage al lthe way and would just slip off as soon as the torque kicked in from the boost.

i am going to swap out differentials too here well i am taking care of other stuff. soo expect my car to be down fora little while.

so my 240 isnt painted yet but its al lready getting me *** hehe. chicks asking me to parties wanting to go for rides.

and i ran in to two other 240s i gave one a nico card. and the other one never stopped for me to talk to him. but he freaking hauled balls. i was on low boost setting. so my guess is that he had a s14 sr in it with the boost turned up. and i ran into a triumph spitfire witha 2.4 liter turbo chrysler motor in it. the thing hauled and he stopped and talked to me. he was like so you build that or buy it. and i was like built it. and he gave me major props for that. the very reason i built a fast car and didnt buy one.

managed to put near 500 kliometers on my 240 over the weekend. and it ran smooth the whole time.

but now it is i nthe shop to get things fixed and next time i roll out in it will be painted. and ready to go.

[rb25xtc]

You da hot tuner

[idahotuner]

^ lol some one all ready mentioned that. but i guess now will beas good as time as any.

i got custom plates coming that say. TUNER

so about it says IDAHO. so IDAHOTUNER is on my plates that are coming its sick.

[thefro526]

Just out of curiosity, why are your corner lights blue/green? Other than that your car is looking sick.

[idahotuner]

the lights that came in them are that color. i think it is sick and will eave them tell i get pulled over for them lol.
