      Lol touche.

       

      I've got to be .. at least 4 years on you ... Sonny lol

  2. If it looks good in white... If only it had a manual gearbox.
  3. Okay. The wires are new, I wired it myself and I'm fairly competent with wiring and electronics. I put in the autometer gauge because the stock one does not work correctly.(always hot) I thought the thermostats where bad, but they are all working exactly the same. Spares are good! lol. I need to buy nissan ones, these are car-part store whatever off the shelf. Okay I'll check it. I tried four different ones... all the same result, and they all work consistantly on the stove. I should buy nissan thermostats... Can I just go to a parts counter at a dealer to get these parts ?? Im use to ordering everything online. Thanks for the replies, I will verify the temperatures and see if it really is running cool.
  4. Been tuning in my 510 a bit and have been wondering about this for a while. Its a cammed rebuilt L20b with 32/36 and new/5000mile fiero radiator, stock fan and an autometer short sweep temp gauge. When its warmed up, it shows about 150*, in traffic it sits right at 180*(saw 185 once on a hot day, never went over), on the freeway cruising 70mph it sits at 140-150*. But on a backroad, 3-6k rpm the temp drops way down, stays around 110-120 on the gauge. Is this normal? The oil pressure is the same as when its warmed up (30psi @ 1400rpm idle) and there is no change in how it runs, other than not wanting to idle after WOT(float setting needs work.) It takes about 5-10 minute to fully warm up to where it feels good, I let it sit for about 1 minute before driving it.(so the carb will idle with that cam...) Would it run better, or more efficeintly if it where warmer? Is it normal for the water temp to dip so much? The thermostat is new, I have tested 4 and they all are consistant on the stove test. they are 180* thermostats. Maybe I should get a 195* ?
  5. I am probably going to be at the meet this thurs .. I disassembled the leaf pack, painted, and greased them, then flipped the overload leaf on the top of the pack(1" drop), added 1" blocks, and KYB AGX adjustable AE86/camaro shocks. Has about 1/2" wheel gap on a level surface with 195-55-15's. Its closer to a nuetral setup, but still has a bit of understeer. Needs more leafs in the pack or a swaybar.
  6. It brought a bit of shine out of the paint, also took out some of the primer overspray and various rust stains out of the paint. Its mainly small details that where improved. Was sitting outside for a bit while I am working on my Z so I wanted to get a layer of wax on it to prevent any further deterioration of the body. I think it looks a bit better.
  7. Experimenting with hand polishing, and waxing... this is the result.
  8. Nice goon, but your front left tire needs some air, bro.
  9. Just side gapped my plugs... They run pretty well I don't know if it made much difference.

      Hey, I HAD gapped the plugs. They'd been in the engine trouble-free since February, including several trip over the passes. Gap closed up for no obvious reason on #1 plug.

  10. As long as no large hill stop/start driving, my transmission isnt getting swapped for a few weeks...
  11. How are you going to oil the turbo?? Perhaps its own leetle dry sump system?
  12. S13 tension rods fit S130 suspension ???? bolt on or mod ?? DO WANT.
  13. That moment when a pontiac grand am tries to shake you, and he understeers so bad you thought he was pulling over for you to pass.

  14. Just got a T3 75mm hub extender.... yes please I only hope I can macgyver it to my formuling france wheel before I can afford a momo.

  15. YESSSS! I have a hako on my dashboard it would be awesome to have a row of goons !!
  16. Man I gotta get new rims for my RC car. I snapped all of the others drifting on cement! lol
  17. Also that's a solid axle leaf sprung 510 sedan. :)
  18. Can I at least have a momento of it before scrap? Maybe the rear end? $50?
