You ever gonna post pics of the finished product? croikes... Anywho, your information on the engine problem doesn't make any sense.

If the ECU (the term you're looking for, for computer) is sending a signal to the Ignition yet the spark plug is not firing... Then your problem is probably between your ignition and your spark plug eh? With the engine bay having been that dirty I would start with just cleaning all connections. Not getting a new ECU. How did you get the plugs to spark and then say you have no spark? Did you put the plugs in another engine or something?

I want pics...

K well im not an expert in this field. I was going on what the lazied indian fellow said. And yes the plugs work just fine. The indian dude put them on some machine he had and they went "spark spark" like good spark plugs should do.

So by reading along, i think the problem lies somewhere between ignition coils and spark plug so i'll have him check that out.

Something is wrong with the ecu/ignition->distributor->sparkplugs(the not working part)

So we still have to CONFIRM the problem before we can start fixing it. Work starts on monday.

Car was rear ended right before I bought it. She's going through a makeover currently. Here is a link to the progress thread if you'd like to take a look.

New to Nico. Hey TchouikoS13, I have a 240sx coupe and I'm also swapping the engine out and getting the whole exterior done. Would love to know how to do that photoshop work you did to see how your car will look with certain body kit, color and rims? What body kit is that? Thanks,Mig240sx

Well... I asked someone to do it for me

But really, just get a pic. of the car w/ the kit. get some rims at the same angle and ask for your desired color and tada. works like magic.

UPDATE: So here a few things i got. Black/Blue racing seats (forgot what company), got my battery in the truck because of fmic, new transistor, new ecu on the way(old one was fried, like my chicken), and thats about it.

Like everyone else, I'd love to see a couple of pictures, especially since you say it looks better than the PS. It's making me second-guess my color choice of silver or graphite for my hatch.
