NSMO240's 99 SE-L
Dont think I started a thread on this so now since i have a little extra free time, i will post it up. i dont have any pictures of when i first picked it up so these will have to do.
I ended up trading a buddy (who used to be a forum member, who purchased this from another forum member, i think from washington) my 200SX SE-R for this, and when i first got it, it had a couple issues i wanted to fix right away, it had a misfire, which i found out was because a wire broke off the harness for an injector, so i fixed that and figured i would wire in the Emanage Blue that is has so it looks like an almost factory install, with solder and heatshrink and all.
also, when it would start cold it would immediately die. took it to a buddies house and with me and him digging around a bit, found that the inlet pipe for the IACV went from about 1/2" to 1/8", so it choked it up pretty bad, installed a new inlet and now it never dies when cold.
also had an airbag light for the side air bag, found a TSB which showed and updated part, installed airbag, no more light.
a little later down the road it slowly started having a starting issue where if it didnt start right away the timing would jump all over the place, i found out that the ground from the battery wasnt even connected to the block, but to the chassis and had a different wire from a separate location running to the block from the chassis. installed the ground from the battery to the block and thought that fixed it but didnt, later after about 2 years of messing with stuff, removing the harness multiple times, repairing damages, inspecting for spark and fuel and all that I was stumped, spoke with a friend who happens to be a master tech at nissan and he said that only on manual transmission maximas, corrosion would build up in between the engine and transmission and cause this issue, removed trans and found said corrosion, ground it off, installed trans and voila, starts up like a dream
in between all of this stuff i have replaced tie rod ends, bellow boots, a new crank pulley and belt, new axles, and removed some wiring that wasn't connected to anything.
also when I first acquired the car, it had no stereo, so i installed one that a buddy hooked it up with.
Modifications are as follows
V1 supercharger with I believe a 7 psi pulley.
440cc injectors
DEK engine swap
Oil Cooler
UR lightweight crank pulley
17" SSR Wheels something like 13 LBS a piece. very light.
18" Altima SE-R wheels
Tein H Techs w/Tokico Illuminas
RSTB
have a Carbon Fiber Trunk that i need to get new rear tails and make sure it will actually keep water out.
powerslot front brake rotors
Stillen Catback
Stillen Lip Kit
Emanage Blue
Zietronix Wideband with AFR, Lambda, EGT's, Datalogging & more
Energy Suspension lower engine mounts
Energy suspension control arm bushing kit (needs installed)
Energy suspension sway bar bushing kit (needs installed)

thanks, I know it still need a lot of work to look great, but its been a long road with this car since ive picked it up, and im glad now that its starting to come together, once i get the check engine light to stay off (as of right now im waiting for the cat to fall into readiness) then ill drive it for a bit, get the EMU installed and running good on that, then the 3.5 swap will come
