the other night i got out the sweet camera and played around a little bit...

and as of today... the car will be going to a-spec for them to tune it and hook up a wideband and afc neo

the daily i6

everyone needs a daily driver... mine is a lexus sc300. i had a 91 240sx hatch as a daily and decided i was sick of it... and i found the sc and it was very clean and cheap so i had to pick it up.

its stock as a rock. thats about it.

car was bubbling!!

so we decided to take the coupe for a little drive today... as always, except i didn't get on it as much as i usually do.
so some background info...
i was driving the coupe on my bday june 23rd yeah remember that day it was like 101 degrees... well i didnt have a hood on it due to the fact the hood didnt fit cuz the motor is gigantic... so the coolant siteglass (made of plastic) broke... not sure if it was too hot or a rock or something hit it and broke it.... got it towed home. ((car never overheated))
bought a water temp gauge because we weren't sure if the stock 240sx gauge was working... car has been heating up to 210 to 220 was the highest it was. so whenever it got that high, id pull over and take a break. always worked....
then today we decided to drive around the block and see if it climbd anymore, it did MAYBE one degress... but when we got back to nick's... we heard the coolant bubbling... plus i put water wetter in the coolant.. you would think that would help..
i think it runs hot cuz 1. its got 550cc injectors instead of 440cc and we haven't tuned it, and 2. its only running on 7-8psi when stock ecu is used to 12psi...
so hopefully thats all and when it gets tuned and all the tweeks fixed... itll be fine.
plus i ordered 1inch hood spacers ((ik it looks gay but if it prevents my car from overheating im all for it))
goodnight!

1st post

hey. this is my first post, obviously... im gonna designate this blog to all about my car!! (i already have a livejornal where i SOMETIMES update it)

my car is a 1993 nissan 240sx with a 2jz-gte swap in it.

its an auto, WHY? b/c i had an auto jetta-vr6 that was auto for about 4 years and i was sooo sick of everyone and their mother saying 'autos are slow and stupid, so after i realized volkswagens suck and break too much, i decided to build this.

it can get out of its own way :)

it was finally on the road about 2 months, and before that it was in the barn (where it go worked on) for about 8-9 months, long winter ey.

the exhaust was put on today, no more open downpipe, it was tricky to get it all together, bc the 2jz's exhaust comes out the passanger side, where the 240's exhaust comes out the drivers side, so we had to make a midpipe to connect the two.

it will be going to SP to finish up some things, such as tuning the car (getting too much fuel due to the 550cc injectors, 100cc more than the stock JDM motors have.) and they are gonna hook up a wideband, afc neo, and dyno it.

here are some pics of the car...

ill post a ton more later on, im just gettin used to this lol.
