SR20DETdatsun510 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I've read the Japanese also call it a day two modification because they get the car and on day two they add the stripe. I think it is more applied to boso cressi's, soarers and skylines tho.... Quote Link to comment

Here is something I just found after searching your comment... actually on JNC as well haha: http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21621 Its hard to just "make up" a design like that. It has to come from somewhere... You cant just call something a Boso Stripe and it happens. Quote Link to comment

No, you make sense; I saw that link. Im saying where they came up with the name and such doesnt make sense. It seems completely random with no back story. Sure ok, on day two you put that stripe... but why? What does it symbolize? Whats it mean? Its like calling the tsurikawa a Day Two Handle. One day one you buy your ride. On day two you buy your handle. You add a handle because it shows your a boso because you dont care and youll steal public property. Why would you add a stripe? See what I mean? Quote Link to comment
HEATHEN Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Topher what kind of exhaust manifold are you using? Did you have the crack welded our replace with new? Thanks, Quote Link to comment
KyushaKai Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I always thought it was a tribute to the old advan livery. But that was just an assumption. Quote Link to comment
KyushaKai Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Doh didn't read two pages back. Anyway, I like the stripes! 1 Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Topher what kind of exhaust manifold are you using? Did you have the crack welded our replace with new? Thanks, It was an XSpower or something like that. I got it welded up and braced but from what I hear even after you do that it will still brake. I'm going to switch to a cast iorn soon. I have a small tick coming from my manifold gasket so when I switch that out ill change to cast iorn and get a new down pipe made Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 It was an XSpower or something like that... from what I hear even after you do that it will still brake. Very common. I actually have three of them sitting on the shelf that all cracked in the same spot. ^_^ Iron ain't sexy, but it works. B) 1 Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 So I had a HUGE vacuum leaking coming from my plastic adapter that connected to the MAF. Luckily my buddy had a spare cast aluminum adapter that I just installed today and no more leak Crack New vs old Quote Link to comment

aintnobiscuit Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Don't forget to upload dyno sheet! Super curious what you end up putting down :D Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Ended up not tuning last night. I need to fix a couple things and ill be able to tune next week. Did one pull without any tuning. Guys said 350+ will be no problem. It's a good base tune to start with 1 Quote Link to comment
aintnobiscuit Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 251 with no tune is great. Take the dynojet with a grain of salt though, it's more along the lines of flywheel HP than wheel HP. You're off to a great start though :) Super stoked for you! You're almost done :D!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Went over to a friends house too get my SAFC fixed. Also I fixed my waste gate problem. Apparently even tho according to Tials chart I had 1. Bar of spring but the gate wasn't starting to open till 20lb of boost so I just pulled out 1 spring and now it's opening around 11 witch is fine since with the boost control ill be able to double that PSI. 3 Quote Link to comment
