Car gets delivered toooomoooorrooooowww. Excited.

[240s_are_the_best]

BRONCO!!!

here is mine

yeah we have a 66 sport that is in that pic its a full top and we have a 71 half cab uncut all original (: haha

[HashiriyaS14]

Car got delivered and now there's some kooky bubbling clearcoat shxt that wasn't there before.

Not going to beef with seller, he fixed a bunch of other stuff for me gratis, but I'm still annoyed. Can I just sand and re-clear, or what?

BIG bubbles of air that I can move around with my finger. It's bizarre.

If the buble is clear (meaning just the clear coat) then the car might have been resprayed. you might be able to peal most of it off. but sanding will make sand scratches in the color. so if you sand and just clear, you will prob have sand scratches in your paint job.

if the buble is colored like paint (color and clear) just lifting off the panel then you might have a rust bubble forming under the paint that lifted the paint (both color and clear).

a picture would help. but most of the time with lifting anything... you will prob have to repaint (color and clear)

hope this helps

[indomiekid1]

checkin in.
should of took a better pic. eh

[dalzell240]

day one. picked it up for 800, spun third rod bearing, near perfect body and interior, automatic

next day, pulled motor

how she sits now, steering rack out and awaiting the rest of motor parts

also want your guys opinions on which way to go for drop. i was thinkin either megan or tein basic coilovers, or kybs and tein springs

[JKL1031]

here's mine hope u guys like little dirty before n after coils

You mind sharing your wheel specs, and more pictures?

[KATPower]

checkin in

[JKL1031]

Just got the car today guys!
Car has a couple of issues : Gas plug grummet loose hence the CEL, 210,xxx Miles on body,minor rips in front seats, AC is in need of Recharge, and the rear end jumps a little when braking:rl:, but for the price Hell I could NOT let sit there!





And my parts car, soon be maybe my drift/track car all it needs is control arms,lights fenders and a bumper! Which is not a lot stuff considering right?





Sorry for all the s*** pictures:gives: I'll post better in the morning.
Glad to back home brothers!

Just got the car today guys!



Dr.Fate

nice looking car. but did you wreck it already? what engine?

[Dr.Fate]

I got this car plus cash in a deal for my sc300. I'm ether going to take off all the goodies from the wrecked one and maybe part it out to the S14 community REALLY cheap or trade the rolling shell for some rims, parts etc.......
Parts I'm keeping/swapping/ between cars are as follows:
Stance pro coils (Don't ask! keeping them!),Rims (selling or trading),The seats (Hate the leather seats I have now, too hot) ,Window switches, Nissan emblems ,window visors and Jazzma exhaust. After that I'm done with the car! I'll put it the air for you guys in a couple of days! I think it will be a great for the track IMO! easy to wreck without feeling bad.
Parts that I plan on putting on my car:
Some kind of after-market bucket seats,Headers,Flex down pipe ,300zx brakes Front and Back ,OEM kouki sides,kouki rear valences, kouki rear bumper and Zenki front lip and Rims 19x10R 18X95F Have not figured out the offsets yet:(
My goal is for a good looking D.D. and I'm going to stay with the KA.

[95zen]

here is my old girl most unfortunate chainof events


the day i bought her



all done ka-t with 374hp on pump gas and 7lbs




woke up to my worst nightmare

[Hoffman5982]

Holy sh** man! That's worse than wrecking it

[zach-Ka]

Holly balls...

[KATPower]

Dr. Fate if you ever want to get rid of those window visors let me know

[motoman399]

95zen, how did the fire start?

and you made 374 HP, on only 7 psi. can you please exlplain how you made such amazing numbers? what parts and work you did.. thanks and sorry for the burnage.

[95zen]

motoman its about a strong bottom end some (alot) of work and one kick a** tune, and a couple secrets and tricks up my sleve. Big power is not always affected by how much boost you run its in how much fuel u can burn efficently each stroke, so i'm just keepin it simple here but lets say a t25 @ 7lbs makes 1000cfm i can only burn 1000cfm worth of fuel, but a larger turbo like a tdo4 can push (again just pickin numbers here to explain) 2000cfm @7 lbs i can burn 2000cfm worth of fuel. that is step one, two is strong internals beacause of more air flow i needed a stout bottom end and a place to put all the air coming in ie:2.4l is still only 2.4l yes under pressure u gain volume in a sense, but the storker from brian crower helped a lot, now i'm not coughing up all my secrets but i will say due to lower boost pressure i went a little higher with my compression ratio, but i'm not tellin anyone what it was cause i'm not done building my new toy (hehehe) but its gonna be f'n sweet.... if there's questions u got about the ka just lmk.

wow thats an essay lol
the fire started due to a fualty block heater on my tractor it shorted out and with the canvas tarp i had over it, hydrogen gas emmited from the battery (thats why theres a no smoking emblem on them) the spark from the short ignited it and the tarp which then caught the 12 gall diesel tank (plastic dumb dumb engineers) which started every thing else

i understand its about air flow and not about boost PSI.. but seriously 7 psi made almost 350 WHP... hard to believe. even with a massive turbo.. but you did mention a stroker kit, which should help some, but not solve the mystery. i KNOW a stout bottom end didnt make that much power on such low psi. here is my philosophy, either you had massive work to the engine like port/polish, bigger valves, cams, custom intake and exhaust manifolds, and some very very good tuning. OR you were running this turbo


i HIGHLY doubt you were running a turbo like that, so i am going with the first choice.. oh and probably 10.5:1 compression lol good game

[gaehrings13]

7 psi... 375hp... NOT GOING TO HAPPEN LOL... Unless your boosting with some rediculous compression...still not gonna happen.

[motoman399]

i dont know about "not going to happen"

if he had a stroker kit, high compression, fully done up head, and a high flow turbo, intake, exhaust it could happen. but the thing is that its a lot of money and time for only 375 and 7 psi. but its possible. also could use nitros or something that he isnt saying..

Can you say, "d-e-t-o-n-a-t-i-o-n"? ... Er wait, maybe THAT's how the fire started.

[95zen]

hate all you want thats fine cause i dont care i'm sorry that i'm not tellin you guys every thing thats what research is all about i had to do it so why should i make everyone elses lives easier i understand it's nice when some gives u the answers but if u don't learn them u will never apperciate the work and labor that went into something like that, yes there was extensive head work done to there was not alot of stock parts left on the motor when i was done and belive my there a definatly much cheaper ways to make that kind of power but there are all kinds of things u can do to make more power without spending any money at all and thats the research u need to look into to find all the answers

Who's hatin'??? I see a few stating pretty much the norm as for what you can expect when throwing out numbers without backing, especially on a low-boosting engine ... again, not the norm ... so calm down and enjoy the bench race you created. It's all good! Hey, I have certain tricks and specs that I don't give up too, so quit whining.

Now, for all the "haters" ... some of you know I used to own a performance company. I also had a '98 Dodge Neon powered by a naturally aspirated Mopar 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. It cranked out approximately 310 horsepower to the wheels, along with about 220 ft.-lbs. of torque. It is NOT impossible to think that by adding a slight bit of boost (turbo or nitrous) that 95zen's comparable sized engine was capable of his stated numbers. HOWEVER, remember our car was strictly a drag car, and nearly incapable of everyday street driving even if brought back into street trim. We ran in the IDRC and NIRA divisions back in '00-'02 before I sold my part of that company to my partner, and our driver went on to bigger and better things (... ahem, Mopar). Just throwin' out some thought as to the logistics of it all. I would in any event love to see some dyno and picture results of your build 95zen. Carry on everyone ...

[95zen]

thank you scotty sorry and infinity grammar wasn't my strong suit but thanks for the update im just lazy. maybe hate should be the word doubter i knew it was gonna get some comments as it always does so enough off topic, the zenki's of the world unite. I would love to show proof but all of that info was in the garage. I have learned many valuable lessons since the fire but a detached garage is number one if it wasn't i would not be living in my house still. n e way just checkin in

and on the last note scotty my car was "on the road" but full race not streetable either not in any means. i only did it to irratate a couple friends here in NY, because it was a 95 theirs were 96's and had to pass emissions, CEL, and IM readiness tests.
