You two are really showing your age now, lol. Good choices though. Spooled, is that CFM rating per fan or for both? I hope for each, even then it's still low a bit on the low side. Let us know how well it works on controlling temps, esp. when the A/C is on. Oh, the IACV is just a back up since they hard to get & the price was right. I hope to keep this car for a long, long time.

I had these 2 12" pioneer house speakers in the back on my Monte :facepalm: This pic is almost exactly like the one I had, mine didn't have the decal in the back window and the wheels were Crager SS. Man I miss that car :frown:

I'm partial to some N.W.A. myself, I just put some on my Zune along with some old Snoop and Dre stuff. Now that I think about it, what I consider old school is probably new school to some of you guys!

I put my chuki side skirts on, I'm waiting on my g-grow rear lip to get here from Japan and my aero setup will be complete. Paint is soon!

My wife's car decided it didn't want to start last night when i needed to leave for work. Something electrical I think, it's getting fuel. Try to start it and it just revs up a few hundred RPM, then dies, if you give it gas after it catches, it'll run, but runs rough. As soon as you let off of the gas, it idles down and dies instantly. You can smell a strong fuel smell too. Plugs and wires are good, battery is good, no service lights came on. We drove it to run errands earlier in the day too. Last time this happened to me was about 6 yrs ago and the ignition control module fried itself (different car)

well i hooked up the fans to the a/c fan plug (one fan for high and one fan for low) and one kicked on for about 40 sec when the engine was fully warmed up then turned off for about another 40 sec, repeating this process. The second fan never kicked on as I'm guessing it never needed to being that the temps were at 212*F/100*C

so it worked out pretty well like i had hoped =]

^ I know, like Casey said, it looks bad lol. Casey, you need RUCAs something awful, looks like you have super negative camber.
So, I bought new wheels, had the new tires taken off of the Sentra SE-R wheels I had (bought the new wheels bc when I got the new tires, I found out that two of the SE-R wheels were bent pretty bad, don't know if I told you guys or not) The dealership swapped the new tires from the SE-R wheels to the new wheels, balanced the new wheels and installed the hubcentric spacers for only $60. Most places around here charge at least $25 per wheel to do that. There was a guy there who wanted the SE-R wheels for his girlfriend's Sentra. I told him they were bent, but he wanted them anyway, paid me $50 for them. Made out with only paying $10. It's hard to sell SE-R wheels with okay tires for a $100 around here, so I did pretty good :) I have to take pics of the new wheels first, but I'll post some pics next week.

Turns out Homegirl was right about the Nismo stat being to cold, at least for my setup. I was able to unplug my second AC fan and the temps never reached 3/4 on the old stock gauge. Nothing like cutting the amp draw in half with no negative side effects. Guess I'll just wire the other fan to an emergency temp switch, how high do you guys figure I should set the second fan to 210*?

Also, I'd like to drop my car about 1.5 - 2 inches, but no more then that because I actually drive the car and I don't like slow and sidewayz into and out of parking lots. But I'm also broke, so I just want to swap the springs for now. Is it worth buying used stuff? My transmission has decided that it could use a little low and slow time. I can't use 4th, sync is gone. So I'm not going to the drag strip with this car anytime soon.

Point is, if it's going to be slow, it should at least look good as it goes by.

While I'm here, what color should I paint my R32 wheels? S14 is burgundy right now, I'm pretty sure that it's going to stay that color or pretty close. The wheels are currently gun metal but they need to be stripped, and sanded in a few places so the repaint is going to happen regardless.

Gunmetal fo sho!

Also, I think the stock A/C fan kicks in at 210 degrees, so I guess that's a good temp for the fan to turn on.

I'd also say you should lower it as low as you can, driving up sideways isn't that much of a bother, and since it's only lowering springs you'll clear speedbumps with ease.

Gunmetal or a dark bronze would look great with the burgandy color. Find a used set of Tein S-tech or Eibach sportlines, something like that.
