project sheila: build thread.

[Dittie Doughnuts]

sorry for slight threadjack,buuutone of those bolts is broken on my driverside front coilover.how would i go about replacing it?

Hmm, the bolts circled in red or blue?

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Well fellas the turd is out and is ready to be cleaned up and fixed. Jesus that engine is dirty! Oh and not to mention The guy that I got it from said his brother it a "certified" Nissan mechanic...There is missing bolts everywhere. Its so ghetto rigged...jasfknhkjdsbgjag oh well. Wont be for long

[SILVIAJayS]

Sorry to hear about the motor. As far as the front camber issue, have you measured to see what the camber setting are? How much adjustment are the plates supposed to have? You might have some kind of issue, like a bent tension rod or something from your wreck...

If everything checks out, you can notch the plates for more adjustment, or the simple solution is to buy camber adjustment bolts, they go in the holes where the coilover mounts to the knuckle and allow an extra 1.5* of adjustment. They're really cheap (like $20) and you can get them from Ingalls or (I think) H&R.

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Wow, thanks SILVIAJayS very helpful! But the wreak didn't mess anything up. I think I'll go down the route of camber adjustment bolts. I'm buying RUCA's for the back soon also.

the bolts circled in red.

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Easy, find a bolt that fits, or better yet find that bolt online maybe?

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Soooo....The official diagnosis is that I spun a rod bearing Good news is that I got a pretty sweet rebuild kit with some nice goodies in it.Gonna need a connecting rod if anyone has one for sale. Looks like a dog chewed mine up, lol.

[Future_gohan]

If you need I have some rods i can send you if you pay for shipping. only problem is I didn't put the caps back on..so I don't know which goes to which. lol

[Dittie Doughnuts]

lol, do you think that I can uses the old cap from the crappy rod and put it on yours? or will that not work?

[Future_gohan]

I have the caps, Just most people say not to mismatch them. you could take them to a machine shop tho i think its like 15 bucks.

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Hmm, that sounds great man! I need 1 rod though

[Future_gohan]

I can send just one Idk, i'm just going to throw them away, i just gotta take the piston off of it. email me at [email protected] and i'll send it out

[Dittie Doughnuts]

I emailed you

[Dittie Doughnuts]

OH NOM NOM NOM

[Future_gohan]

Your getting that crank fixed right? And For those rods I have all four, But as I said I gotta take the pistons off.

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Indeed, If I can get a machine shop to do it, I know that wont be the issue of having them do it...the problem is I don't know if it is to worn down to fix

[Future_gohan]

I've seen worse, you'll just need over sized bearings.

[Dittie Doughnuts]

whats cheaper, buying a used crank or getting oversized bearing?

[Future_gohan]

I mean, it doesn't really matter, see what the machine shop will charge you, my prices are cheaper because He does all my work for everything, and i've known him for years. haha But If you come across a cheap crank, pick it up, if its good. Then you can just get stock bearings.

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Good news! I just got a full time job so money will be rolling in! Just bought a new crank and connecting rod set..I didn't want to risk that because I'm going to boost the KA in a month or two XD

[Caveit77777]

Good stuff you know what kind of turbo you want to go with?

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Maybe a S14 SR20 turbo, but not sure. Any ideas?

you buy stock rods? eagle isn't that expensive. and i'd go with an t25 if you are doing a stock rebuild

[Dittie Doughnuts]

I'm gonna get the turbo kit from CX racing, since its fairly cheap and I've heard good things about it. I know it's still not that good of quality but since I'm gonna be running about 8 psi it shouldn't be a problem on a stock engine.

cleaning the block. Naval jelly burns out with the old...in with the new!

I was thinking about using one of their kits also. Looks like it's the best bang for the buck without it being ebay quality. People are going to tell you its bad judging it from a maximum power perspective but that goes with anything you get now. Anyways if you do get it I'm sure you'll post up what you think and maybe dyno?

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Yea dude, everyone is a critic on everything now days "cheap things", even if they haven't used or known anyone with those things, not saying cheap as in quality but rather in the price. Those are the best bang for your buck with kits.. 230hp with stock injectors and ECU is decent(stock motor also)..I've heard of people getting 270hp with larger injectors, I'm going down that route and having my car tuned at a local import shop, pretty well known in the Carolina's and neighboring states.

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Engines coming along good, just waiting on the connecting rod to get in, errrr.Cleaning the bay today, SOOOO MUCHHH SLUUGGG AND GREEEEEASE!

[Dittie Doughnuts]

Yea, my cousin came out to join me today...
