It's perfect

Still a bit far for tracking bidness, but good for daily nonsense.

Vincent086... I blew le motor, racing, always check your coolant before you go on a road course!! Now it's getting a full 6th gen swap but I need $$$ to finish it....

Anyways... Update:



It's making more power than the red car, but as to how much.... so far an educated estimate of 8whp, but it could be more or less, it's all estimates.

I won't re-dyno until I get a SAFC, the middle of the powerband the car dips into the 12s AFR wise and works it's way back up very slowly, I liked the power jump on the graph it had @ 13:1 AFR so I will get a AFC to tune it for that.... Till then..... Nada... It's pretty much done powerwise.... Ok maybe some little things here and there to completely break the 200whp barrier... but for the most part... DONE!





Trunk lid swap happened also... fave $30 exterior mod everrrrrr!!!



Gauge Ring Bling + GXE/GLE cluster swap (looks cleaner IMO... Also it's the only thing avail )





15.2 @ 92.... But that was w/ the Y-pipe, Cat, and lame@$$ catback....

Getting new #'s soon....

That's it for now....

This is the official "**** I had to fix aka why it's called 'The White Nightmare'" post
(Will be useful for any potential buyers)

-Radiator Support Rusted Apart
-Replaced the Engine (Coolant Hoses Rotted causing it to overheat) - Along with all new sensors on it
-Replaced the Fuel Pump (Trying to tackle a long start issue, replaced w/ a 06 350z fuel pump w/ like 18k miles on it)
-Replaced the F/R Hub
-Replaced 6 wheel studs
-Replaced the compressor, condensor, high pressure hose, dryer and expansion valve
-Replaced the water pump (new GMB)
-Replaced the radiator (for 's)
-Replaced the fog lights (used j/y... the orig ones were cracked+rusted)
-Fixed the floppy trunk (re-welded the plate that held the trunk latch to the car)
-Replaced the gauge cluster (The original SE one had a possessed tachometer)
-Added a crash shield to protect the belts + crank sensor

Ongoing problems:
-Creeking on RH turns only
-5mt (What... I see having only 5 gears as a problem )
-Wheel gap (Yes, wheel gap is a problem )
-The RH wheel gaining extreme positive camber under harsh cornering conditions (bad road + hard cornering = tire hitting car)

So what did it put down? A dyno vid with no graph doesnt really mean much.

186 in third SAE'd, so more power than the red car... but as to how much

The graph... meh I'll scan it one day, looked like the red car's but less top end loss? I'm not too much in a rush because it was still a DJ but a different model... also no TQ... the shop's RPM pickup wasn't working... I'll redyno another day after I get some more cheap goodies in...

The red car's was blown, warped the heads so much got 0 compression.

The white car's was fine... Sure it was pouring out pure white smoke so thick I couldn't see what was behind me... same goes for both lanes on either side of me.... but I still drove it back home no problem.

This is why I want to see the dyno graph.

Sounds like the shop dropped the ball in this one. 3rd gear, rpm pickup not working

One of the many things to be installed soon....


-Competition Clutch LW Flywheel (10.8lbs w/o trigger ring, must re-use your oem ring).


-Exedy OEM replacement clutch disk aka "Stage 1", it held the red car's power just fine, it'll hold the white car fine also.

FYI, the Exedy OEM replacment clutch disk is not the same as the Stage 1.
The stage 1 is like 100.00 bux more and is rated to hold 231ft/lbs.
I ran that clutch for years, d@mn good clutch, loved the feel and grab of it.
