well we took apart the head today and we're sorta stumped, the valves are fine, sealing fine, and the headgasket is fine. So we were kinda like what the hell, but then some of the coolent had leaked into the piston chambers, and filled the chamber full. We left and came back and what do you know, no coolant in the chambers. Real bad rings is what we've found. We're swapping the new motor in now, and should be done soon, and as soon as the bad motor is out I'm gonna pull the oil pan off and see what the deal is. We got it to run by push starting it, but the second, and I mean the second you let off the gas, it would die. Wouldn't even sputter, just out and out die. We reved it up in gear up to about 4000 RPM, and you could hear the ping pretty good. So we'll see what happens, and thanks for the GTIR info. Chris

site is bookmarked. thanks for hosting that info.

EDIT: the following observation has been set straight from another post. I am just confused and inexperienced. disregard the following.

Please forgive me if I am wrong on this, but the 180sx is more specifficaly(sic?) known as the RPS13 is it not? if this is the case you may want to make that distinction on your webpage. you list one of the blacktop sr20's as being;1994-1998 S13 180SX SR20DET Blacktop. while that may be correct as the 180sx is the same as an s13, it could be confusing to some cuz the s13 silvia didn't exist after '93. you see where I'm going on this?again, smack me down if I'm wrong cuz I am new at this and I am trying to get it all straight still.
