72nismo Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 What issues do u have with KA?? Dime looks sweet. Quote Link to comment
ViperGT Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 The ka will not idle, i fixed a vacuum leak on the plenum by installing a gasket and cleaning up the rtv and i sprayed carb cleaner around but no more vacuum leaks. It used to miss at idle not any more but its either super lean or super rich and ussualy it shakes and stalls when it goes lean, and at wot it spits fire out the back and misses hard, wont really rev past 4 or 5k, but when the engine isnt warmed up it runs quite well hesitates a little bit at wot and has a somewhat bad idle but much better than when its warmed up, Also has flat top pistons not that that would change much, and maf and tps are working correctly.

Zfighter76 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 you forgot to mention your bottoming out issue sitting in the back seat when you mash the pedal through the floor makes you feel like youre being dealt with in the arse by a fucking tree grinder . damn you fat exhaust piping!!!!!!

ViperGT Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 So i broke the u joint and part of the rear left axel on my 510 doing too many burnouts but i found replacements. Im adding rear disk brakes and i was also wondering if the diff from a 280zx 83' is any bigger/ better than my 510 diff. It doesnt have an LSD but do they sell inserts? Also was thinking about taking the whole rear suspension from the 83' 280zx and bolting it on my 510 eliminating the coil springs and using the 280 zx coilovers in place of the stock struck. I got the whole rear end and used KYB coilovers for $240 score!!! Zfighters POS mexi truck with my rear end. Roadster 510.. Quote Link to comment

ViperGT Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 long time no update. got a build ka now in the works just got porting on head done. valve job should be done when i get my mis-matched intake valves from supertech. been cutting out rust here and there no patches yet tho lol just holes. got rear coilovers w/225s WAY to soft, hits bump stops under power around corners and then slides. Painted rear seat area/floor and trunk white, looks very good also installing new fuel pump. Roadster has been daily for a while, will be in for paint when 510 is running. Bad blinker issues, fuse pops as soon as i turn on the key, also blinker wiring under dash looks like its been played with pretty hard. PICS!!! possibly looking at something like this to fit slicks... removable front core support, very handy still have grinding and painting to do but i like it. still need FUNCTIONAL hood pins. dont hate will probably cut more out to make room for a/c condenser, oil cooler, intercooler, and rad, Any one ever seen a 510 with radiator in trunk? im considering it. Pic ture of valves is as so: left stock, middle and right mismatching intake valves from supertech, 2 match, and 6 match. I have other ideas for wider body as well will post soon!

fo0manchu Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 thats going to be a tight squeeze. AC condenser will be a challenge. Quote Link to comment
ViperGT Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 yeah i know haha, but it will be worth it if i can make it clean. more pics head work done... Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 looks like its going to be a fun ride! What turbo you going to use? Quote Link to comment
ViperGT Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 well im stuck between a gt30,32 and 35 id like to hit 650 on RACE gas but then again until i do serious body work i wont have traction, so maybe for now i just go with gt30 or 32 and leave it at 450-550 at max boost pump gas Quote Link to comment
fo0manchu Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 bling bling! what management system you looking at? And are you going to switch over to cv halfshafts? Quote Link to comment
ViperGT Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 looking at aem but also considering MS. I will be rocking the stockers until they break again. already gone through 2 N/A lol, and i didnt break any after i welded my diff. Also have an open R200 that im gonna swap in welded most likely just cant fork out that extra 1000 for a r200 lsd, and i didnt have any understear probelms with a welded diff but i also have no front sway bar at the moment.

ViperGT Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Got exhaust side springs on and all valve guide seals, the seals were definatley a learning experience ruined one and messed up the spring on another so I had to get a new set. Quote Link to comment
