cut like 200lbs of metal off of the Squirl. Can't wait to recycle her.

nissan canada told me that the lower coolant hard pipe that is pressed into the block is a discontinued part? going to call them and see what my options are...

I fixed my horn today,  I wasn't expecting it to sound the way it does,  pretty high pitched  :laugh:

heith on 07:16:14 PM / 13-Mar-11i will try to get some pics up when i get all the tape off and and everything back on the car

I'm looking forward to the pics heith!  (It'll for sure be nicer then the attempt in Jay's post)  Haha, really though, if you did that while stumbling over drunk Jay,  you must do some very decent shit sober my friend.  Or whoever did the painting.
JayMar 14, 2011, 11:23 am · #454

Attempt?!
You think that was an attempt?!
That was a drunken joke taken into reality, not an attempt.

(Nothing about that paint job was good, so it was perfect for what we were going for. One, big, joke)

Cleaned up the inside a little bit. played around with the ignition and now it makes the ding noise again when i turn my car to the on position. Now if the bitch will talk again, she did for a day when i got the car but quickly jumped ship.

JayMar 14, 2011, 6:21 pm · #456

Tried to start it with a nearly dead battery.
It didn't start....
And then it did start....
And then, it sputtered out....
and then it wouldn't start again....
Now it's hooked up to the battery charger... So it can start

MaxpowMar 14, 2011, 7:05 pm · #457

Yeah I jumped mine today, and it finally stays on. Died out a few times but I think that was just the last of the bad gas leaving.

JayMar 14, 2011, 9:21 pm · #458

My alternator doesn't excite right away. So what happened was there wasn't enough juice for the coil to make it up to the 1500 rpm excitation. (Which, no, is not normal, but I don't care)
Started A-ok about 20 mins ago

seishukuMar 14, 2011, 9:53 pm · #459

Heh, your alt does the same thing mine does... Doesn't power up until 2k RPM, and when it does I get 15 volts. :lol:

I just replaced my front main seal... again... because I dicked up a long time ago and scratched the seal bore, and if it's not sealed quite right it leaks bad.
I'm trying a different sealant this time, hopefully it holds.

dunlop star specs are a hilarious tire in the rain. They grip like mad for a second, then let go violently...i thought i was going to give the sidewalk a love tap...lol.

took out dash in 30 min, swapped dash harnesses from my parts car, installed new stereo with aux input and usb charge, and got my gauge cluster lights to work again

S12: "you gonna need gas eventually BITCH!"

Haha :laugh:

Anyways,  I raced in the quarter mile, 18.402 best time.  Funny funny...

heithMar 19, 2011, 5:55 am · #484

 now i got to hook it up

SlickS12Mar 19, 2011, 10:29 am · #485

would've put on the new o2 sensor if ups wasnt run by dan's.  really it takes 5 days to ups something from nj??

MaxpowMar 19, 2011, 11:37 am · #486

Yeah that's believable. At least its not USPS parcel post. That shit takes 10 days to do that trip, over 20 to go international.

Wolf DilworthMar 19, 2011, 8:15 pm · #487

Ahh, Patience Danial-Son...

Sure there is prolly something that can be done while one waits. 

You want it over night, pay the price, there is next day delivery.  USPS does two day.

Quitcha ballin.

seishukuMar 19, 2011, 9:25 pm · #488

I put the welded diff back in, because tread is quickly disappearing from the passenger tire again.
And I tried re-re-reshimming it, to figure out what's causing this horrendous noise it makes.

No to avail, of course. I think it's time for a new diff, or new bearings/ring/pinion.

backwoodsbuilderMar 20, 2011, 12:36 am · #489

Worked on 20e.....not good day found out last rear rocker arm retainer bolt is stripped need to helix coil that, cant get a spark plug out of the head pissing me off!!! the gasket set i got didnt come with

heithMar 20, 2011, 2:07 am · #490

S12CA20EMar 20, 2011, 2:11 am · #491

i had to zip tie my rear quarter window because the lock broke and it just kept flapping around as i was driving

heithMar 20, 2011, 4:16 am · #492

installed 10'' 350 lbs spring on my coil overs i should have mounted the sleeve lower as i have a tiny foward rake and no more threads to lower it

EightySix200SXMar 20, 2011, 4:37 am · #493

10" spring whoa I'm running 8" read and gc sleeves up front

heithMar 20, 2011, 4:40 am · #494

Yeah, I really wish I hadn't forgot about that... :lol:
Any way you could ship that boat anchor, without costing an arm and a leg?
ProlowtoneMar 20, 2011, 6:09 pm · #497

New valve seals, old exhaust side ones were so bad that they were moving up and down with the damn valve. and when i held it in place i was able to slid the valve out without resistance. car should not smoke and have a bit of torque now. Just starting to install the intake to the head then toss it back on the block. all new fluids, get permit and go for a long test drive.

MaxpowMar 20, 2011, 7:34 pm · #498

I shipped one to Nova Scotia for like 200 bux or something like that. Shipping isn't THAT much cause they are tiny.

Pay for my gas and I'll drive it down on tuesday. Starting my journey after noon.
Shipping cheaper and take longer, or me driving, get it quicker, and pay less than a hundy.
Up to you...
