Woody620 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Pics on my ghetto assembled engine. Getting it. Carbs on. None of my pulleys line up? they lined up the same on the old motor... what is going on? Had a headgasket kit for a 1.3 & 1.5 honda laying around for some reason. turns out the egr gasket is exactly the same. blocked off my lower pcv tube. Saved 12 pounds of sound deadening.

metalmonkey47 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 You're not supposed to block the PCV vent. :geek: You actually need that Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'll be running the valve cover port to a catch can, then to a breather. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Bought some louvers and this wing at the junkyard today. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 personally dont like the look of the louvers that much, contemplating cutting the top fin off and making a roof spoiler. anyone think this would be awesome? or a waste of destroying perfectly good louvers?

Syncro Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 eh, all I know is the only louvers that look right on these cars for me are 280zx louvers. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 so is that a yes or a no? lol Its definitely something that would be original on one of these. I got bored and made my switch panel. My overly complex way to line up my switch holes. lol switches! Anyone wanna guess which buttons do what? Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 good progress !! :D Tighten and bolt down the water pump pulley by putting on the fan for even pressure .. alternator mounts are shimmed to correctness/bent for every l-series. (usually as a result from changing bolts/bending brakets/etc.) IDK about louvers or modified louvers. keep the wing :cool: what the buttons do ? Top left one fire missles. 2nd from top left dispenses coffee Green ones spray cologne Blue ones spray out blue slushi mmmmmm lol red ones dispense depth charges ,,, for when poooleeece chase you I sure like the blue ones :lol: Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 the water pump is tightened dow all the way (im gonna be running an e-fan), I was gonna see about putting a washer behind the crank pulley maybe somehow? If i cant its fine, I can live with it as long as it doesnt squeal. And for the alternator Im just gonna have to grind down the inner front tab and throw washers on the back, no biggie. the roof spoiler and wing combo should look something like this I would think, just on a z. Its a fairly common 240sx style. I like those answers but nope! (although I may steal them for my labels) :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Heres some pics of the wing and louvers. (louvers might be for sale so throw an offer if youre interested) Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I like those louvers, they actually look like 280zx louvers, no sure if you've seen photo's of my car, but I have zx louvers that look just like that on the back of my z. Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 yours only has 6 louvers though, mine has 7. I kinda prefer your spoiler to my ducktail, just because I've had such hell with mine whenever I bolt it on. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Nice! have the same wheels as me too. are you on hr.net by chance? Im just not that big a fan of louvers. Ive decided on just selling them, but Im definetely rocking my wing. Its just too cool. B) Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 hr.net? never heard of it. My wheels are a bit different, your looks like that have quite a bit more then 14 fins. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 well hachiroku.net lol just noticed that, mine are different front to back too. 5.5 wide fronts and 7.5 wide rears and just slightly different wheels too 3 came on the car when I got it and the 4th i actually found in a pile of tires at a friends house when I went to go pick up the tow dolly. :confused: Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 lucky you, I still haven't found a 4th for my car. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Whats up with sets of turbines missing just one? Decided that DTP is now my official parts supplier. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 the roof spoiler and wing combo should look something like this I would think, just on a z. Its a fairly common 240sx style. I like those answers but nope! (although I may steal them for my labels) :rofl: :rofl: the answers are all... yours hahaha I like that wind deflector on that sx :cool: ! I think you could make it work on the z ,,, just lots of standing back then "ummm-ing" and "hmmmmmm-ing" haha ! Heres some pics of the wing and louvers. (louvers might be for sale so throw an offer if youre interested) I like the wing ... should look good ! :cool: Decided that DTP is now my official parts supplier. :rofl: :rofl: hahahah ... that's sig worthy ^^^ I'm happy to be your official parts supplier... :lol: This is the circle of the s30 life yo ! :lol: Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 ah a header, I got mine for free, well, I got a whole 240z for free with a 5speed swap, r200 diff, and roundtops. Yeah I'm missing 1 turbine and I've been looking for that f*cker forever. Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 either way I'm probably gonna snatch up some 17x7.5 enkie's at the junkyard this week anyway, some dumbass took 1 wheel off and made it look like there was an incomplete set on this 300zx thats there. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Im gonna make my own roof spoiler later I think but the wing is on it looks awesome! Haha, go for it DTP! Thats really good! it might be a new mexico thing. when I was living down near virden I got both my 620 pick ups for free! on of them was even swapped to a 22r and hilux drivetrain. :confused: 17's are gonna be huge man, but at least they would all match. what are you gonna do with your old wheels? ;) Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Oh I almost forgot a pic! 1 Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 as far as my wiper i have no idea how to wire it yet. my wiper stalk was mangled when i got it so its impossible just to look at where the contacts go, and I have yet to find a good accurate diagram for the system... :confused: Anyone wanna help me on this? But I got most of my switch panel wired. Not my cleanest wiring but its under the dash and Ive got tons of room, even more now that I dont have a real glove box. why? because race car... :geek: Yep, those are screws holding the glove box door in place... Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 is there really any other reason for the glove box not to work properly? how much would 2 hinge's and a latch of cost you in weight and money? Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Eventually I would like to glass over it to make it smooth along with gong over the holes for the side vents, any other unused holes, and fixing the dash cracks. Its not that im too lazy or cheap or think it makes it more of a track car and reduces soo much weight (lol), I just dig simplicity and I have a bad habit of cramming my glove boxes full of useless crap and I hate it. plus I always have the compartments behind the seats if I need them.
