vert "CHAT"

[donut86]

you could try the coolant temp sensor...I just bought one for about $15

[biggie]

got a question guys im temp gauge will go all the way up and I will pull over, pop the hood and the motor will feel normal. Im thinking it might be my thermostat but I just had a shop put a new one in. Could it be that they could have installed it wrong?

Most likely an air bubble in the coolant system. Be careful, could overheat easily.

[the vert]

I do I get rid of the air bubbles in the system?

[240daveTX]

there should be a bleed screw at the front of the intake manifold at the front

[biggie]

Usually the bleed screw doesn't get it all out.

One way is to jack up the front end(or park on incline), put a big funnel in the rad and put coolant in the funnel. Run the car to get the thermostat open and press the top hose to force air out.

There are muliple methods as the KADE is well known for air bubbles.

"the vert", since you are NC I can probably get you in touch with some people to help, just send me an email if you need to.

[the vert]

thanks man I will see what I can do. If this doesnt work then i will email you to see what else I can do.

My buddy works at a chassis shop and he is going make me a custom roll cage for just the rear. Should have it installed and powder coated in Setember. We are taking all the mounts for the rear seats out so the trunk will be open to the rest of the interior and going to smooth the humps a little and run new carpet from the firewall all the way back to the trunk. Then I am going to tuck all the wires in the back to the sides where you wont be able to see them. Should be fun. I have a set of hatch door panels I am putting on and going with a 4 point harness. I will keep everyone updated. I having the cage powder coated the same color as my wheels. I think its going to look really good. Then new seats and I might fibers glass my door panels and quarter panels as well, make the quarter panels on piece insted of having the slit down the top of them.

Hey guys, I am the new owner of a vert as well, no pics yet, not really worth of them, imagine a red body, black trunk lid white front bumper green dented fenders and, random black paint spots over rusted areas, and thats what it looks like, brand new top though.... anyone know an easy way to fix rust between the windshield and the front of the roof, like the trim section around the windshield that the roof hooks to when it closes?

Edit: forgot it also has grey coupe doors on it as well, and no seatbelts or back seat, and the seatbelts arent mounted correctly yet either, definitely a work in progress....

[donut86]

youre going to have to remove the trim...I saw a thread on removing it around here not too long ago.

edit: here is the one I saw: zer...moval

[RM12577]

yea ive been waiting on holemilk to do the writeup on it, i might have to take the windshield out as well to do the repair.... its a pretty good sized spot that needs replaced, but i dont plan on it being done for quite some time so I'm in no rush, just gotta make sure to get it done right so it lasts me a long time, ill create a thread one of these days when i find a camera showing what I have to repair on it and have my own build thread....

[donut86]

I have one forming as well...I hit it with 220 grit as well as I could. Ill get around to fixing it once I start driving the car. I guess I might have to do the writeup if I can find my harness to get the car running.

[the vert]

I think I might pick up a pair of corbeau A4 seats at the end of the the month as well as the harness. I going to make my brackets myself cause I heard the ones they have put you up really high. Im 6 ft. and dont need to sit any higher.

[I LUV MY S13]

Well my girl for 7 years just broke up with me. We were engaged for 2 years. Now im going crazy.

[donut86]

sorry to hear.

on a positive note I drove my vert for the 1st time in 2 and a half years and the first time as a manual.

[krash]

Sorry to hear dude, but think of it this way, better now then later right? "Worse things have happened, I think we'll be just fine." Tony Stark. haha, you'll be fine dude. BTW, you're vert looks pretty darn good! Almost like its 94_240sx's cousin

[the vert]

Thanks guys. Well decided to do a rebuild/build then boost later on. I plan on having HRT build my motor when I get my taxes back next year. Then I will boost later. Also will do a 5-speed swap. Can't wait.

[the vert]

So here are a couple pictures of my trip down to florida. I blew the radiator and had to get it replaced. Im dumb a** didnt know I was 30 mins from enjuku racing and could have saved a lot of money.

[the vert]

Oh and the dumb f***er that worked on my car forgot to bleed my coolant system and it kept over heating and I couldn't figure out why.

[donut86]

its ok, I had to go to a stealership to get bulb check relay and they sent a horn relay...

I think just about every car I have owned has been on a flat bed at one point or another. but I will say your car still looks badass on there

[the vert]

OK so this past weekend I did the whole door pillar and seat belt removal and what not looks so much better. Problem is I took the belts out of the rear and put them in the sides just like that one thread shows but now the belts wont unspool their stuck and now my passenger does not have a seat belt. Please help me guys I dont want to get in a accident and my passenger get hurt.

[boostit'swhatsfordinner]

[boostit'swhatsfordinner]

Wow.. I'd have to say I've never seen green wheels on a black car before. Looks unique!

I do like the Z32 wheels! Some spacers in the rear would be nice for them.

How did you do your 5 lug conversion? Z32 parts?

[the vert]

I bought it like that.

[matty boi]

hey guys never posted much on here but i do enjoy talking about verts so i thought i'd join in here. i got a 93 vert for my 17th b day, pretty much my dream came true haha and yea i got in to modifying it, i sold everything i had to fund it so my car was pretty much craigslist built. but i wanted to see what you guys would think of it. i will post pics tomorrow but i do have this one of how it was when purchased for 2500. only mods in these pics i did were rotors and 30 dollar rear window replacement.



MOAR PICS tomorrow when i can take a few good ones.

[the vert]

Whats up guys. I know some of your are probably waiting on this. So here are some pics of the latest mod I did.



















Yea so it took my dad and myself 2 hours to do the driver side and like 45 mins to do the passenger side. I did the seat belts the night before. Which I need to fix cause they stick and wont spool out.

lol mine do that sometimes too, haven't gotten around to fixin it.on another note, and i know this may sound silly, but i'm thinkin about sellin my vert so i can pay off some bills and put a down on a house. what do you guys think? i know it kinda sounds like sacrilege to sell it, but then again i could reeealy use the money.

[the vert]

Well im sure you know your not going get back how much you put into it.
