NC SC CHAT

[agile_moments]

for me..it would depend on how long it'll be till you have money. It's its a matter of a few weeks to a couple months...I'd just wait. If longer..I'd do it. I just wouldnt want to have to put the KA in just to take it back out in less than 6 months or so...

[dull240sr]

oh i know what its like to be broke. i cant find a job worth chit around here. i wasnt saying dont get the ka, i was only saying i personly wouldnt. yeah u could get the ka and run on it until u get an sr, but if ur going to do that why dont u just get the ka and build that up for boost little by little and just say screw the sr. you can actually get more low end torque out of the ka if u build it right. but it will cost u more in the long run bcuz its not built for boost from the factory like the sr is. i mean if u can get a ka for that kind of price then have at it. but dont plan on getting the same out of it if u sell it. trust me i dont have anything against ka's, i ran the stock sohc in my 89 coupe for two years and never had a problem. but then my dad wrecked it on me and i sold it to one of my buddies for a field beater and he blew a rod threw the block the same day.

[gnvarnadore]

yeah its a hard choice to make but i think i might have a good KA lined up for a real good price. i got a feeling if i dont act soon im going to be left without a running car, everyday that goes by is a gamble because my daily driver honda accord is on its last leg.

[scs13]

i would just get a ka for now, i know how it is to have a car just sitting around and not be able to drive it. my coupe blew up on my the day i bought it haha.

[gnvarnadore]

yeah if i drop in a KA i can get the rest of my silvia front end parts sooner too, LOL.

[scs13]

i thought your car had good paint? why d!ck with it

[gnvarnadore]

well i fell in love with the silvia a long time ago so ive always wanted a coupe with the silvia front end. the paint is strait everywhere except the faded part on the front bumper, i love the burgandy but i really want to paint the car purple. i have a vision in my head of what i want the car to look like, so its just taking the time and collecting the funds to see my dream become reality. the only thing i havent decided on is what my final wheel selection will be. as far as the body goes i want the silvia front end, origin streamline body kit, 20mm front fenders, 30mm rear fenders, smoked tails, carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber trunk. to me that will be nice and clean without taking anything away from the stock bodylines or making the car look like a snow plow.

Let me know if you decide not to get that KA, if it's a DOHC. I'm down in Chucktown and I can't seem to find one anywhere.

[scs13]

Please have the money to put a nice paintjob on it and keep the stock front end. id hate to see it turn into yet another car with a flat black silvia front or something.

[gnvarnadore]

lol no worries Jordan, flat black isnt my style. i want the car dark purple.

[E7-S14]

still need a KA Gregg? or got one?

[Tomme]

still need a KA Gregg? or got one?

If he doesn't, I do.

[scs13]

i would also like to have another ka.

[gnvarnadore]

yeah Kesean, i need the car back on the road ASAP.

[gnvarnadore]

so i got home today and walked in the house only to see a big box sitting there in the living room, i opened it and i found the most beautiful thing inside a set of Silvia dual projector headlights.

[GoinTopless240]

I remember that day..lol. Took pictures of everything. Look at some prices for buying KA-T parts. Then look at prices for an SR and availablity. I have nothing against the KA either, but when it came down to dollars - the SR was the best bang for the buck and a good platform to build off of. If you have expendable income and want something different then the KA-T is a touch off the norm. Just my thoughts. The KA has great torque, but you've been on here for awhile and know the ups and downs. I kinda wish I hadn't given away my KA, but I needed the room more at that time than I needed another motor laying around. Let me know if you need a hand. I'm still waiting on the pizza party.

[GoinTopless240]

I wanted to find out if anyone was going to the Savanah NICO meet next weekend ?

[gnvarnadore]

well John im picking up the KA this friday and if the weather is good i hope to have it in and driving it before the weekend is over. if you have the time this weekend and wanna make the drive(weather permitting) i have no issues with buying pizza and beer. i know its a s***ty time to work on the car because of the SR meet but i have to do what i have to do. too bad i cant have a few buddies pull an all nighter and swap the KA friday night and still go down to the meet, ohh well thats life.

[gnvarnadore]

picked up the KA today, the weather looks crappy for this weekend so i dont think i will get it in untill next weekend so if anyone is wanting to lend a hand let me know and i will provide pizza and beer(provided your over 21). give me a call or text me 803-719-7590.

Man i read your thread on 240atl, thats messed up. I hope you get everthing squared away, i went through the same thing when i bought my rb20 from a guy in nc. I ended up having to take the dude to court to get part of my money back. Good luck man.

[gnvarnadore]

i guess by built he meant it was built by nissan...lol no in all seriousness that f***ing sucks big time dude. what are yall going to do? is he going to refund your money or are you going to have to take him to court for it?

[scs13]

he is giving us some parts instead because he said he spent the money on bills. we'll see what happens though i guess. thanks guys.

[gnvarnadore]

f*** f*** f***, i cant get the driver side motor mount to unbolt, any advise or tips? the socket keeps slipping off.

[scs13]

using a deep 6 point socket and a swivel?

[gnvarnadore]

well for the update the motor is out the car and i hope to have the other one in this weekend. i have to go buy a clutch and fluids and i should be riding out again. man i miss driving my car.
