yes what do you need to know. mine work awesome. i got the rebuilt calipers from codyace and the rotors and conversion lines from heavy throttle. oh and cody ace got me the new z31 BMC which is plug an play. no cutting of nipples and stuff from the old BMC to put them in the new one. and my car probably has more breaking power then i need haha. but it sure is nice they saved my life once all ready cant go wrong with a big brake upgrade

opps i was to tired last night ot see the email please.

yeah i have stock rears. becasue i felt like the gain fron changing out the rears wasnt worth the effort. the bakc end of the 240s are pretty damn light and so stock does fine.

Dude Ben your car is looking like a show stopper now with that engine bay how it is.

I'm envious of your dad's skills because I was about to brush up on my buffing/polishing skills this summer with my hood. I was saving up for a buffer and even though they only cost like 40 bucks for a good multispeed, I'm glad I didn't because of the circumstances that occured. Anyway, just popping in to say car looks great as always, and take great care of that baby.

Hopefully at the end of this schoolyear I'll find a job on the west coast because I hear tracks are everywhere and I figure my next 240 will be primarily a legal for roads but only for track car. So that I have room for errors when I get all antsy and do dumb stuff like go fast lol.

Sentra needs a front main seal and a CV joint is making a dumb thump but it's a good DD otherwise.

I dunno how i'm gonna get through the year without a 240. It's really bugging the hell out of me already.

I haven't had a chance to get online in so long cause I've been so super freakin busy!!!!!! So I dropped in my 1st rebuilt motor and piston rings on piston #2 were bad and kept burning smoke and after a few days picked up a long block and dropped that in and everything was smooth. Then a few days after that, it started acting up so it went through it's problems too. Bad wiring that made me think it was my MAF acting up but wasn't, so I had to fix my wiring issue. I'm also pretty sure your MAF isn't the reason it's overheating. After that I started havin fuel problems so I tossed in my 255LPH pump. Then my transmission wanted to start going into 1st gear when it wanted to so driving was a B&*^%!! Ppl said the synchros went out and that I needed a new transmission but I didn't think that was the case. Turned out the weird lil gold plugs on the transmission on the sides by the shifter had backed it's self out and I tightened those and fixed that problem today!!! all while dealing with a gf, work, court, and life in general within 8 days. God I was hatin my 240sx and even had it on craigslist to see what offers I got but after solving everything and taking pride in it I'm glad I fixed it all. It's a ***** now of course, but it'll make you feel even better once you fix it. Well, I'm goin back into hibernation. Good ****in job with the paint, it makes me happy in my pants!!

Oh, and if anyone sees Tan-o online and talks to him. Let him know Scott didn't forget about his MAF sensor either...
