Hey everyone, I posted a thread not to long ago introducing myself (don't know how to link, but titled "Finally Introducing myself"). I was showing my 93' Coupe, pride and joy, but now I gots to show the other nissan. I think I found a deal... I got the car a couple months ago from some dude that drifted it or whatever... so it's kinda beat. He went off a track once and bent the driver side Lower control arm... nothing major just cosmetic stuff. Car has some boost leak and just needs a good tune, but pulls real hard and is almost scary in the higher rpm's... and the exhaust sounds amazing.
Mods already there:SII RB25 swapSS Autochrome turbo maniHKS 3" turbo-back titanium exhaustHKS BOV (ebay)Greddy intake plenum (might be a copy)Tein tension rodsTein HE coilover w/ pillowball mountsKoyo Radiator w/ dual electric fansebay intercoolerBlitz DD turbo timerebay strut tower barsWelded diff??? (not sure but definitely not stock)
Mods I replaced w/:Apexi Neo AFCReal HKS BOV
So pretty much, I found this on craigslist from some young guy who got fustrated with it and just wanted to let it go. He over boosted and then blew the seal on the BOV and fried the Apexi SAFC at the track and could never get it started after that. He messed with the MAF and countless other things. When I got it, it would start but it wouldn't rev past 4k and it was super RICH. Wired the MAF and TPS correctly and replaced the BOV with flange (Previous owner put JB Weld in the BOV intake seal) and boom... it works and reaches 7-7.5 k RPMS easy. So a $130 fix and the car drives fine and strong. I ended up getting the car towed 40miles to my house for $6k, does that sound like a deal? Anyways, I actually posted this because I need help completing the registration by getting a smog, and was wondering if there are any members in the Los Angeles area that know of a place that I can get this done at. I know it's illegal, but if there is anybody that knows and can PM me, I would really really appreciate it. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys the car and P.S. the car is ugly, as this is how I received it from the previous owner.
