God hates my car for some reason. the CAS is taking forever to get here

and if that doesn't help some way, some how then im probably going to shoot this ECU to hell and get a new one. And if THAT doesn't work then i might just get a new engine

I think you have the same issue as me. I've been through 3 ECUs (trust me it wasn't out of stupidity) and I figure it must be something in the harness. Everything works fine, the fuel pump is pumping when you turn on the ignition, but theres no spark. My best bet is buy a new harness from Performance Nissan. It will run you 3 bills.

Sexuss! (cool version of success)

She's alive! The car actually runs! Thank baby jesus (little 7lb 9oz BABY JESUS!) Although the idle is rough, it works. Imma work on the idle tomorrow and we'll see how it works out. Hopefully i can get pictures up by this weekend.

To be honest tho its not that nice. The front bumper isn't the right one and i had to do so much fab work on the rear because it didn 't fit. You know how the back of the 240 is curved... well the bumper was straight. All i need is some kouki's in the rear and it'll complete the exterior of my car

K so. The car runs nearly perfectly.

But there are some parts im still waiting on for my brake kit and cooling system. There is also a oil leak someplace so i gotta get that fixed too. Unfortunatly its going to take like 2 weeks to get all of that taken care off.

Get a more aggressive side skirt to compliment the rear.... Otherwise it looks good so far.

to be honest, im not to satisfied with the kit either. looks kinda... well, ricey. That means there definatly will be a new kit in the future. For now im just glad that she runs.

and suggestions on what rear bumper would go good w/ this kit, not such an aggressive look.

yeap it is, the dumbasss at the body shop ordered the wrong kit, and then tried to make ends meet with it.

sviellvoicae What kind of rear bumper is that? How much? And do you have anymore pictures of it?

EDIT: When i mentioned the lip i was talking about the wheels.

IMO, I would go with the Bomex rear bumper. No lip and show off that mean exhaust.

Well i finally got a chance to drive this car after new seats and carpet, and OMFG! This thing is amazing!

Im still working on get my power steering parts so i said **** it and drove w/o it. I pulled outta the parking lot and put the throttle half way and the car took off. It had me back in my seat. I found myself going 60 in second gear. It even sounds like a beast with the BRM exhaust. I cant wait till i get my power steering and then fix all the loose ends.
