Thanks Evan for all your help with this! If you didnt come help i would still have a 11K paper weight in my garage!Next thing is a clutch so i can really see what she has! Then of course is a turbo upgrade haha.

[Kori]

lol to use a car as a paper weight... must be some really important papers

i think you two should come help me swap my engine into my new chassis when its time lol make it go smoothly

Between us I imagine we could have it moved into the new chassis and running in a day provided there is no real fab work left.

I had my engine off the stand and in the car in 4 hours, and I did not use a mount kit or skyline crossmember.

[Nissan2367]

Yeah so i must have bad luck... it took me like two days and i have a top hat mount kit!First the firewall was not hit in far enough... twice (you could park a buick in the space it has now! )Then the trans mount they gave me was for a s14 not s13 so i called them then they didnt call me back so i just fabed it to workthen i had to wait for my damn harness that was suppose to take 4-6 weeks that ended up taking 12then it didnt run (Shi* harness)... so 4 months later Evan saved my as* and now i have a running RB with a shi* clutch!BUT HEY IT RUNS!

thats prolly the biggest problem. i did my swap outside in spring when it was nice and warm

[Nissan2367]

Well i think i figured out where the noise in the rear is coming from... evan was right the subframe is shifting while hard cornering but the axles are bad... i knew that sound and i finally figured it out! So time to buy some axlesalso a new problem came up. sometimes while driving my car will cut for like a second and then catch back up... when this happens my wide band peaks at rich. i am thinking i have a bad or dirty injector that is sticking... any other thing?Thanks guys!

[lilskyline240]

make sure your coil pack wires are clipped on all the way and also gap ur plugs down a bit. i had same problem. gapped em down to .022 and havent had problem since

[Kori]

off of what ben said. also make sure they arent arching improperly (i had that problem)

[Nissan2367]

Yeah i am going to check that out... ill lower the gap and check then. I got a ACT Six puck sprung clutch and Heavy Duty Presure plate. Also a Fidanza 12lb Flywheel here so when i take it up to my cousins house to put that in Ill check it out, flush the trans and rear diff, replace thr rear subframe bushings with solid ones and replace the axles... Alot to do! I love tax returns! Kinda sad though i was going to use that money to buy paint to paint my car

at least u got to use ur tax returns for car parts.... i used mine to pay off bills..

[Kori]

maybe you should use credit card more wisely...

[240z4u]

LOL

[Nissan2367]

HAHAHA she sounds like my girlfriend!!! I cant talk i am paying my card off with my return and selling some parts i have layming around! All the parts i bought are on that card haha

[Kori]

it's ok ben is better than my boyfriend with money.. somehow even with marine salary and them paying for his living space he still has like every credit card maxed out basically. Not even money for christmas gift.

I always seem to find ways to get money for what I want... Ill buy it and figure out how I going to afford it later with still paying bills and fun. I'll prolly get a credit card this summer though.

[lilskyline240]

[Kori]

worst thing i ever did was sell my GSR to pay for a semester of school. i didnt even finish out that semester, i dropped out of college and became a machinist for 2 years... i still coulda had taht car to this day if i woulda just dropped out before taht semester

[Nissan2367]

Oh that does suck but hey look at what you drive now! Way better then a GSR! I had a GSR last winter for a winter car and then i just tradded it in this fall for my MDX... Way better in the winter haha. I kinda miss tuning hondas cuz well you could do it in you sleep but there is nothing special about them and well a RB is just WAY cooler!

means you drive a much cooler, faster, baller car. Instead of a slow, pos, ricey, non-respectable thing.
