My build thread - Project Oreo

[Magnum375 Jr.]

I hate having no good spots to take the car in the snow, no photo oppurtunities ever. Too many cops around here.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

What are they going to do? It's just in the snow. Just say you're learning how to correct the car when it's sliding in the snow.

[Magnum375 Jr.]

Yeah, true, I have always planned on saying that, I just dont wanna get freaking ticketed for something stupid.

Speaking of snow we are about to get hit by a huge snow storm this weekend...i heard 32plus inches in my area. that crazy.....looks like no 240 is going out in that lol..

[Magnum375 Jr.]

So, Not much of an update, just letting you all know, i haven't lost motivation, just been slammed with school work and snow. Supposed to get another 8-15 tomorrow into wednesday. So I can't get chit done. I just ordered PBM rucas and straight toe rods so they will be here when i get the rims in hopefully and tires will be last. I'm ready to get this show on the road, just need everything here and its a go. Also, I will be attending my first drift event on the 28th, wish me luck, open or welded diff, I'm doing it, hope to have a girl going with me, so i hope i can get some pics and vids for the thread, I'll also be using my pro mount for exterior shots, so you can sorta ride along around the oval.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Dear Joel, I will not let you drift at the drift school unless you do an oil change and also check the trans fluid.

[Magnum375 Jr.]

Dear Keegan, I ordered the T25 gasket kit, and I also ordered the exhaust manifold gasket, so ya know. Oil change will happen soon, and they postponed the 28th anyway, cause the 3 1/2 feet of snow will take forever to melt, and water/ice on oval = no no.

[hbpignosePA]

im sorta glad it got postponed.....

im soo close to being done

[mrgreeneyes]

dear joel,

[Magnum375 Jr.]

LOL, jeez, go outside for 5 hours and this is what i see...holy hell.

[bersh240]

what do you see?im confused.

[Magnum375 Jr.]

6 missed texts, 14 emails, 6 replies to my thread, and its all about snow, and disapointed whiners about driftschool....LOL

[bersh240]

well arnt you just mr popularity.

[Magnum375 Jr.]

Why yes I am, you jealous Chris??? LOL, jk, nah it just seemed odd, no one answers my texts until i head outside or depart from my phone.

[mrgreeneyes]

well arnt you just mr popularity.

who took my title?

[Magnum375 Jr.]

Ok, little update, I got a few pics to put up, just to show how bad my stock setup is camber wise. I think I got a little too much camber for this, thank God I got my PBM rucas and straight toes on the way. The first pic is just to compare how well Tom's car is lowered, as it is lower then mine, and he is propped up on snow. Not for long, wheels are pushed back 2 weeks, as XXR didnt fill all their smaller vendor's preorders, only the big ones...so it'll be a little longer. I also just wanted to show, that my exhaust is nicer then his, LOL, sorry Tom.





I got my stickers in tooo....can't wait to put them on.



Oh and here is just a random pic of my cars chillin together after the snow.



Oh and thanks to Doug and Keegan, I now have a JDM 330mm steering wheel on its way.



Oh, and I have my oil to do my oil change, and some synchro mesh fluid to maybe help my little 3rd gear issue I seem to have...who knows, maybe I just suck at driving. But I hope to get the oil changes done tomorrow, if not soon.

[Didderson]

Hey I love the wood wheel man, check out that UGK song wood wheel gangsta boii.

I need to look into this synchromesh oil... Is it safe for our transes? My 2nd gear always fights me when the oil's cold or it's the first few shifts of the day. I'd hope it can fix that? Keegan post your thoughts yo, it shifts fine when I'm not moving. I think it's just the gear fork needing lubrication in the morning?I have 1.5k miles til oil change. heh.

[Magnum375 Jr.]

Well, PBM parts arrived, Straight toe rods and RUCAS. They are amazingly beefy and well made. Can't wait til I get them on and alligned, wont be until the wheels are here and tires are on the wheels, so yeah, its gunna be a while.



Sorry for crappy pic but the light didnt come out right for my cell camera to pick it up well.

[Didderson]

Mmmm g3 RUCAs with heim joint dust shields.. solid.

[Magnum375 Jr.]

Yeah, so like I promised, here's a better pic, you can tell the difference in the ends from Gen1 to Gen3, very well improved. Toe's are Gen1 and Rucas of course are Gen3. I love the orange, and It's gunna go well with all my other orange parts, the Ksport hydro, PBM highmount, and when they make the hardpipe for the intake for the t25 ill be buying that too. I'm thinking about painting the hood orange for s***s and giggles this spring, who knows.

[zach-Ka]

I can never get over the quality of PBM parts. Especially for the price.

[Magnum375 Jr.]

Either can I, and to be honest, I'd be happier to pay more, just because they are so well built. The high mount performs soooo well compared to a front mount, I don't understand why people want to run front mounts anymore lol. So I guess I'm a little happier today now as well, as I got another package, awesome to get stuff 2 days in a row. Nissanparts.cc came through and got me my T25 gaskets and seals as well as my multilayer exhaust manifold gasket, now I wont smell like a 2 stroke anymore when I run with the windows down. I'm hoping all this can be done this weekend. We'll see how productive we are. Here's a pic, and they even sent me a nice little sticker, def going on with all my other stickers.



I'm half tempted to take a pic of all my parts that have to go on the car yet....LOL, my desk is getting cluttered up.

Is there that much of a difference? What gains exactly? I always figured they were inefficient due to heat soak.
