Bought a nismo power brace?
Jonnie's brace wouldn't quite line up for me to install (1/2 an inch off on one side?). Figured either brace is off or my brackets are :p, so I picked one up to try it out when I re-deploy

Car's been sitting for almost 2 years. Drained the fuel tank, filled up with fresh 92 octane, new fuel filter, change fluids, washed car, installed Nardi steering wheel, NRG steering wheel quick release, installed Alpine head unit, installed Alpine hu power pack, installed seats from Sonic Motor, installed new front turn singals lights, put in D Max floor mats, and installed Apexi power intake. Oh yeah, my bov was stuck so I took that apart and cleaned it up too. It seems to be working fine now. I think that was all I did, but there's probably more that I forgot about.

Finally installed my s13 silvia front end with aero bumper! I've had the parts since January and finally got around to it this past weekend. Had to do quite a bit of modification to the bumper support and front undertray because my stupid FMIC is sitting a bit low. I can't move it up without totally redoing the FMIC mounts and piping. Also started my silvia dual projector TSX HID retrofit!

I had that same problem after I installed my mishimoto radiator. I hope its not something with the radiator because that put me over the top and made me start my complete overhaul.lol

Took off 4 bolts and 2 screws to the plate covering my fuel pump, Walbro should be here in a day or so..

hopefully that fixes my starting and immediately dying problem -.-

Someone tried that a few years ago. I don't think it ever amounted to anything.
