What the hells up your *** in the early hours of the morning? You drunk and can relate to the OPs stupidity or something?

 

I hope you made your point because you have none. I posted the thread no to get sympathy from other but to inform guys who are into racing and have the 6spd 6thgen "if" every something like this happens you should pull over and turn your car off because you can save the engine. I wasn't at the race track racing with 22's dumb dumb, it happened on the hwy while I was being irresponsible. I shouldn't of been speeding on the hwy and it's my lesson to learn. Why you all gotta be soo immature about a learning experience
You know I always respected you as a member but that's all lost man. Again the thread was made so that other can learn from my mistakes. A lot of you all don't do anything other than critic and give opinions, post pointless threads and pick fights. I hope that new drivers read this thread and learn from it. I only started racing a year ago so I have alot to learn and as I learn i'll share my experiences. Maybe you should start doing the same

Nah, I know it's the pump giving out maybe because it's a older car with an older engine. The upgraded pump for the VQ's are worth as much as a car so I think I might look into a 5thgen and make it a project

You see that's where we are different. I make mistakes and I post not for sympathy but to show others that modding and racing comes with down faults. You spend thousands to make your car 1-2 sec fast for what? Atleast I can say I have taken my car to the track, whoop some @$$ and enjoyed my experiences as a drag racer and enthusiast. A lot of guys mod cars for performance and never seen a race track, do you happen to know anyone like that? My point is this could of gone horribly wrong and I could of lost my entire car or worst, but all I lost was an engine which has already been replace without the help of anyone.

I think you missed the point of my thread. I meant that nobody can say how much they invested, broken and replaced to get where they are at right now. This thread to some may be a joke but I choose to share my shameful experience to those who might face this. Maybe if someone had post this thread and I read it I would know to pull on the side and have the car towed to a mechanic and have the oil pump and tensioners replace instead of the whole engine. But everyone opinion matters.

I'm just saying if you raced and haven't broken anything yet then you haven't pushed your car to the limits. I know mine now so I can either let you all dampen my spirit or learn, improve and move on. I choose to learn improve and move on

 

A lot of you all think ignorant. You can't compare a 93 SE-R with a 04 maxima. They are different in technology, weight, gear ratios, power, torque, and top speed...ect. I don't know if you rebuild your stock engine, if you have as much power as the maxima's and how long you been doing it for. I'm still new to racing and I have a lot to learn. It's just unfortunately I happened to go through 2 engines during the process.

If learning means doing it wrong then nobody will get into racing if you're afraid to break stuff. If you haven't then you're car is slow, you was borned with perfection flowing through your veins or you're just a natural when it comes to racing old cars and winning without mods. Dunno man.

This thread was created so that others can learn from my dumb mistakes as a rookie racer, not to be judged and criticized and who's the best driver in the world.

 

Sorry to hear that man but sounds like you've got a good attitude about it. I'm not a huge 6th gen fan but yours is spade tight. Kinda hoping you do pick up a 5th gen as a project, I'd like to see what you come up with!

 

WOW YOU ARE SO COOL, NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE AN SE, BUT YOU HAVE THE SE-R You so deserve a cookie for being so awesome, all special with your first engine. WE race our SE-R, WE love the SE-R.... OUR PRECIOUS!!!

 

... whats up man, long time no fight?

 

Appreciate it man. I would like to say it was small thing but I happend at a bad time when money was kinda low and I need a car to get to and from work because I start to early to commute via transit and work too many hrs to do it in the evening but using my bro's tsx, a rental $#%&ing a Mazda 2 "I hope I never see one of those again" and camry and an Elantra made me appreciate my car even more. My car is like a Buggatti compare to those slow, boring, and uncomfortable cars. Even my mechanic's 3 series BMW did nothing for me.

I don't car what nobody says this car is the best, even in stand still traffic. But trust me when and if I ever get the 5thgen as a project cars ya'll gonna know it's mine...

 

Damn sorry to hear.
Learn how to rev match.

But maybe you can take the suggestions since you like to run hard all the time it seems and go ahead make a stoutier engine.

 

LOL c'mon Man

Thats the 7th gens

 

soooooooooo no one else has had issues w/ their oil pump acting a *****? i think i had an issue once before...but i babied it...MIRACULOUSLY!!! i did an oil change and the issue went away. there was a couple times i ran it hard before i sold it, and it still ran completely fine. all i'm saying, no reason to bash this man for something that nissans are known for doing.

glad the OP has it running again..BUT..i would look into a oil pump upgrade.

 

Rev match? I need to learn how to stop. LOL. jk. Honestly the old engine is still at the yard and I was actually considering rebuilding it on my own time, cams, rods, pistons and better compression but I actually had my eye on the 5thgen as a project car because it's lighter and has more potential than the 6thgens.

I love how they look with the stillen lip and concave style rims, and it must be that VQ35DE engine. But it will definitely would like to boost it. But that's all a possibility

 

I'm good man. I didn't come on here when it blew and made the thread crying like a b_ _ _ _h asking for help and sympathy, I did it after I went through the BS but they seem to think racing always have a positive outcome and everything I suppose to be perfect with no concequences.

I don't get some of the members on here. I've seen cars blow up on the first run, written off going down the track, and engine and tranny explode doing a burnout that cost hundreds even thousand of dollars, so why is it so hard to blow and oil pump from inexperience racing??? But someone suggested the HR pump and another uprade was as much as a car. So anything from now on will be a project car, preferrably a 5thgen boosted.

Someone showed me a pump upgrade that cost $1500 That's how much i'll pay for a 5thgen. Didn't know these little parts cost that much.

 

dont expect much from a 5th gen that is $1500. The 5th gen I would want is the one my dad is selling, that exact kind of good running order, but he want at least 4500 and I think he will get $5k for it from the right person who knows what kind of shape it is in AND its not an oil burner

 

Well that's the good thing about a project, you look for one with issues that's fixable. Because these cars aren't really in demand in Canada like is it is in the US they sell for as low as a $1000. Seen one with a stillen lip kit which is half the cost of the car so that's winning. Because I went through so much with the VQ's I know the main problem with them is the guides and tensioners and oil consumption so I'll look for one with the stillen kit, minimum rust, and a hopefully I find one with some tensioner noise that I can get the seller to lower the price.

As long as the tranny is proper the tensioners shouldn't be too much of a hassel. I've developed a very good relationship with my bodyshop/mechanic so he'll definitely get the job and i'll give him a helping hand if necessary. Oil burning is too common and there's no way I'd find one that don't. Suspension, front end, paint, and performance will be tackled, just need to find one with a good body, engine and tranny and i'll go from there.

 

You sound so much like a tool, enjoy blowing motors.

 

Actually, we are quite awesome. Let's see you put together a trackable car, stripped, full cage, seats and all the safety gear, then you can talk smack.

I bet you can't even afford a set of Dunlop Star Spec tires, oh wait cuz your so cool you can only talk smack on a forum.

 

You still talking man??? Okay man you win, i'm a tool. Why you still talking to the tool??? I'll be the bigger guy and ignore you from here on out.

 

Naw man you win. I admit defeat I don't got enuff street cred to have blown more motors than you.

Waiting for the lock.

 

I'm not the one that said you were racing, you did.

You said you downshifted into 2nd doing over 80 or 90 mph, learn how to drive even a buffoon knows not to do that. It has nothing to do with your trans or engine or the type of car or speeding or "racing", it is simply you doing something very stupid not ONCE but TWICE!

 

Dood you better watch out man, he's got buddies on here like that other kid who's gonna make fun of you on the internets.

 

Leave me alone!















I've been busy, I don't have the time to surf through all the stupidity these days

 

I'll take my chances....

 

Before you pick on me understand that your car isn't mine nor am the first person to own this car. The car goes into lower gears prematurely because the "synchronizing" gears are worn out which act like a safety mechanism to prevent you from going into lower gears at high rmp doing high speeds, it wasn't something intentional it just happened when I was suppose to go into 4th it went into 2nd instead.

Why am I even justifying myself to you when the intentions of the thread/video was just to give drivers with a 6sp 6thgen the heads up if they ever downshift by accident and your oil light comes on to pull over and have the car towed to a mechanic. Ya'll are just too childish man. You're acting like you're to one paying to repair my car. Dude relax man

 

It could have been easily avoided twice. The synchros don't shift the car by themselves, you took the shifter and shifted it.

 

this forum, and any other forum has a gang of 'experienced/perfect people' that never have issues w/ the their cars when they run it hard. being realistic about the whole thing, it's not that these engines are bulletproof, they are made pretty decent, but far from perfect, oil pump i wanna say is possibly one of the weak links in these VQ engines, as i briefly experienced w/ mine, but saved my engine luckily. that was the first timei ran my car at the track...had to limp it back home over 50 miles took it to the mechanic, took his advice and luckily it cured my problem. i'm guessing somehow the oil was too thin/whatever caused the oil pump to act funny.

either way...look to upgrade that oil pump. it'll be worth it. SN: i didnt redline, without bouncing off the rev limiter, via downshift...i took it to stock redline, after the 3rd run, that's what happened. i dont get 'perfect people'

 

Sorry man I didn't read your thread before and didn't know your syncros were gone, yea when the syncros are worn out the car sometimes will drop into gears prematurely. I think it's happened before to me a few times if I remember correctly, it was right after I had my exhaust bearings looked at.

 

This isn't the best place to get sympathy and the "I know dude, I can understand how you feel" type of response.

But Mrjasonlyrics, you messed up and you manned up and fixed your problem. It was a learning experience right? So great job! And judging by your sig I can tell that you take great care of your car, just need to give more TLC to your engine, haha!

On a side note, I have been on this forum for what? 3 years? The general maturity level of this forum and the internet in general has gone down dramatically. We are all doomed, I repeat, the end is near.

 

Instead of constantly dumping more money into new engines, why not invest it and N/A build with HR pump.
Also, this thread is ******.

 

 

Forget that he disrespected the Se-R.
I had a 91 and 03 (spec v). Loved them

And I see you have a z32....off top we are brothers.

 

your hilarious.. bet you didn't know i grew up in a million dollar home, going to a 30k a year college on a full ride, and 2 semester away from a guaranteed 90k a year job as a new grad BSN nurse. You are slightly right, that i am poor now, but what college kid isn't. Im cool with that because what i am doing is investing. Your right i can't afford a pair of good tires, i just bought some Michelines 3 weeks ago. But with that aside, Ill have the funds to build your car multiple times in expendable cash next year. Lastly i have built cars that make yours look like tonka toys. My neighbors built 10 second hotrods and thats what i did for about 6 years. But since your like Ms. Cleo so i must be lying... In my experience, its the people who struggle financially that point fingers at people they don't know saying they can afford ****. Transparent as all hell...

my whole point was to quit being a **** to people who don't ask/deserve it. enjoy your crap sentra (with a roll cage ooooooo).

 

yeah same here, i pretty much turn into a ghost when my semesters start up. However, threads like these do entice me from time to time. so many cool people here i wanna meet and be friends with because they are cool!

 

aaaaaand THATS why emotionally stable people don't jump to conclusions and disrespect people they don't know about a situation they don't know much about.

+1 for the apology

 

it sounds like you have way to much getting into internet arguments. You need to get a GF dude. What school did you go to btw?

 

Am I the only one that noticed that his 'apology' was meant to be facetious? Exhaust bearings? Really guys? I guess it doesn't stand out as much as blinker fluid, but some of you are slipping.

 

lol i am married bro, got the knot last summer.

I go to California Baptist University in Southern Cali. I pretty much hate all the students there and the fact they force you to take a chapel class. However it is in the top 10 best Bachelors of Science in Nursing schools in the whole nation. So I'm there for the name on my resume.

your right man, im gunna sit this one out, i have midterms and am really trying to procrastinate. it would be smart to spend my time more accordingly. oh yeah the foreign policy presidential debate is on at 6pm tonight! woo!!

 

well damn... i thought maybe he was a decent person underneath it all...

 

u want nudez now?

 

sorry for your loss
