[240marcuSX]

here's what I've got:

K&N drop in filterHotshot header2.5" BRM exhaustASP crank pulley

That's all I have for now, I'm saving up to rebuild the motor. It burns oil at roughly half a quart a week.

Welp... Here is mine.I could go on forever on parts i have replaced so ill just give performance upgrade.

Port and (polish):Throttle Body, Bottom Runner of Intake manifold. Its cleaned Basically with a little more. AutoBacs Intake And Filter, With a Custom built cold air wall,Ngk 8mm WiresNgk Iridium Spark PlugsAutobacs Front Strut Bar.Removed Resonators on Exhuast for straight Pipe (Sounds smooth) And hotshot headers with a bunch of removed emissions this weekend.Rear Strut bar as well and i also have a Super Hicas VLSD

My car isnt fast, but its alot more responsive and powerfull than when i first had it, and i love it!

[nismofly]

wow youre valve cover looks nice, did you do that yourself or get a body shop to do it?

also did you do the port polishing or did you go to a shop for that too?

[SMoKeM240]

got some new parts in with pics... check out my webpage, and will get more soon

[Kansei240sx]

I did the paint myself, and the port and polish as well, well i had a little help from a friend on that one. DREMEL OWNS!!!!!

But yeah, im pretty good with paint.

[SMoKeM240]

what kinda of paint did u use, cause i stripped my valve cover and i need to get it painted

[nismofly]

ya thats something ive been looking into, it sure does make the engine look a lot better after its all said and done.

[Xracer]

Use duplicolor hihgt temp engine paint, gloss black. then just makesure you clean the suface really really good prep and stuff. you can use vaselline (sp) and put it over the letter tops so you dont get paint on teh letter faces. then spray a good 5-6 coats an it will look great. when your done and its all dry jsut wipe off the vasalnine and out coems teh letter face.

[nismofly]

interesting, i might have to look into this, the vaseline is a good idea, i take it you put it on fairly thin, what would you use to put it on that thin and that precise, maybe a q-tip or something?

[nonchalant rage]

paintbrush works good, i did it on my calipers

excuse my dirty *** wheel

[Derf]

So you painted the Word nissan on it? Or it was there already? either way I love the way it looks.

Good job

[nismofly]

looks like 26mm z32 calps, my guess is you put the white on around the lettering first then traced the black around it

[InsanityInc]

what kind of wheels are those?

[Xracer]

yup Qtip works great. make sure you do it thin or any of it hanging off the edges will make it so the paint doesnt get inbetween all the little spaces and stuff.

blech.

Nitrous is not naturally aspirated. Naturally aspirated means the engine is breathing on it's own, without any help (hence the term naturally aspirated). N20 is a form of forced induction.

[Scott McLellan]

Another thing you can do instead of the vasoline is to paint it all regular and then use some very fine sandpaper and fold it several times and sand the paint off the letters. I did it on my 300zx calipers. Finish it off w/ some aluminum polish to protect the exposed aluminum and make shiny;)

[Kansei240sx]

For my valve cover i just used the spray right out of the can, i did coats every 15 minutes four an hour , and then had it sit under a heat lamp, Over night, then i let it cure for about a day or so, then i slapped it on. The engine heat cures the process a little faster, I did the paint around march, and i havent had one single crack or flake in it since. The paint i used was the stuff i think whats his face was saying. Duplicolor High heat engine paint. Its cheap and quality stuff. I was impressed with results.

Yeah, I know me and my friends always race eachother NA, but I picked up a zex kit for a price I couldnt pass up so it just sits there most of the time, and then if somebody with a V8 or a turbo or something wants to race then I'll open her up.But I consider my car NA, I have it tuned for optimum power without n20 so if I do run the juice I have to pick up some race gas or it will detonate

Did you get a cometic head gasket cause its thicker? I have SOHC pistons and a couple of DOHC motors that need rebuilds, my main concern with this has always been whether there would be any piston to valve interference/contact. So what I am asking is do you have to run a thicker head gasket to swap in 90 SOHC pistons?
