[matt_240sx]

I must say, pretty impressive job. Keep it up!

^^ thanks i appreciate the comment

so i did a compression test again today, 160/160/160/160.... gotta love it


but i am thinking its about time to replace the water pump, and while its apart im probably gonna throw on a nismo thermostat...

beautiful results. nice thread

[badbob2121]

well i got the hks ssqv series iii bov, and i love it

i also ordered the cs hot pipe with pre welded flange, the pipe was great, welds were great, but fitment didnt like my current piping, so it took a few hours of cutting to get it to fit and close the hood...

it sounds great




and a pic of my dirty a** engine bay...

[240sxjoe92]

Give yourself some credit lol..Its dirty but its not that bad ha... and you know you've seen way worse.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Credit, you have balls..... for trusting that mishimoto tstat

[badbob2121]

no problems thus far.... i dont see why there would be a difference comparing nismo vs mishimoto design?? either way im satisfied

[badbob2121]

well i got a modified exhaust ticket today, and what made me so p*ssed about it was that it was from PMO ( military police)

i understand if i was makeing a scene and doing something stupid, but i was simply driving on my happy way and he pulled me, and when i reasoned that a warning would be fair since i wasnt driving stupid, he threatened to have a scene investigator come do a full inspection on my 240.... what a buddy f**ker....

but its onlya fix it ticket and my buddy has a stock exhaust that im gonna slap on to get inpected.....

then throw the straights right back on

[badbob2121]

well i got tired of the knock off seats i had, they sat WAY TOO HIGH (im 6'2'') so they had to go...

found a sweet deal on some mint s14 seats and a legit buyer for the old seats

bam

couldnt be any happier, s14 seats ftw

[badbob2121]

a few quick pics i snapped with my buddies rhd coupe






and figured id show off my rear end

Ur car is pretty sick. I was excited to see ur car in the magazine. You got any aero planned? I too will be promoting a G.F.A. lol

[badbob2121]

Ur car is pretty sick. I was excited to see ur car in the magazine. You got any aero planned? I too will be promoting a G.F.A. lol

ive considered it before, but i really like the clean factory look, and this car is driven on the streets, and most people with street driven aero are very haggered and beat up, and im not into that look like some are

so i think this is it aero wise for current moment

[S13AL]

It's good to hear the car will stay clean.
I like OEM with tasteful mods.
By the way is that coupe's front bumper oem?

[badbob2121]

thank you sir and i will state the car will remain clean.

and the coupe's aero is silvia k's areo....super clean and rare

[badbob2121]

so a buddy of mine owed me like 20 bucks, and he was broke and rather than paying me wanted to give this, a SS megan manifold, its in good condition for being used....BUT.... there a bolt broke off in the inlet flange and my buddy had already started to try and drill it out and stripped out the threads

so i drilled it out and am working on it in my spare time, and well see where it goes. the pics arent the newest, i got the remainder of the bolt off now,

here it is





and a few random interior pics i took...

[solowsr240]

looks good, keep it up!!

[badbob2121]

well yesterday i ripped off the silvia front a tucked the engine harness, and what i believe is the headlight wiring in the passenger fender, and lowered every coil about 1/2".... it looks good

i hope to test fit the new manifold this weekend and will order the gaskets if all goes well

[S13AL]

Fitment looks great!

[supersayianjim]

hey badbob. can you take or do you have pics of your intercooler mount setup?? do you have brackets on your bumper support on on the rad support. i have a 3" intercooler and i need to raise it because it's 2 damn low.

[badbob2121]

well i think what you are asking is more of a intercooler brand specific question. mine acutally mounts to the hood latch. its actually perfect the way its set up and i love it, very study! underneath i have two brackets to the rad support. it shouldnt be hard to raise it with a little bending here and there...

heres a pic i snapped real fast to show my top bracket..

[badbob2121]

i havent spent as much money as you would think, i am a habitual cheap a** and always seem to come across great deals

and im running 11psi on the t25

[badbob2121]

so i just got my manifold gaskets in, and i also ordered a oem z32 fuel filter, alot bigger than the s13... a few pics comparing the size and then the new gaskets

i should have the mainfold on by this weekend hopefully, wife+son+work= no man car time

fuel filter




gaskets

[badbob2121]

so yesterday i attempted to swap out the manifold, it didnt go so well

i got all the nuts loose except the 4 from the stock manifold to the inlet. it just wasnt happening. it is way too much of a PITA to do this with everything mounted in the car. so ill put it back on the shelf for a while, maybe sell it if i get enough, well see

[J14cm7]

oh come on thats quiter talk haha

[badbob2121]

oh come on thats quiter talk haha

i know i felt like a quiter.... but its all good

so im thinking about swapping the fuel pump next, i can think of 1000 things i want to do, but its hard to decide which to do first, and which i can afford at the moment...

[S13AL]

Selling it won't be bad since it was free.
Can anyone else see the face in the smudge on the stock fuel filter (second pic)?

i already tossed the old filter so its long gone... weird though
