Let me know when you are ready to pull it back out
Let me know when you are ready to pull it back out

Damn, you got it to sit back alot further than I thought you would. It looks good in there.

still waiting on exhaust manifolds, harness to come back, mufflers, driveshaft and a few other bits to show up. all are on order and should be here within the week (other than the harness). i need to climb under the dash and connect the wilwood clutch master to the pedal asssembly and start putting that back together with the new cluster while i wait for other parts.
first its 350 240Z's
then its LS1 RX7's
and now we're stuffing Corvette engines into 240's and drifting them... lol gotta love this world

small update:
manifolds and radiator have finally shown up, but the wiring harness won't be back until next week from Hinson. so far they are 0 for 2 with me on parts. if he'd kept up his end of the deal i'd have the car running by this weekend and actually have time to shake the car down and break in the clutch (and learn the car)... now i'll be lucky to have the thing running by Nopi let alone broken in.
what rear end are you going to use. The stock one will not hold that much torque will it?
yes it will. i will be upgrading the diff later but it's not like i'm launching the car on drag slicks... it's a drift car. either way, the stock nissan R200 is a tough setup, i'd surely break an axle before the diff.
man, that is sick
nick, props on teh cluster man
i know you love my swagger

u using the kit from Hinson Super Cars?
I need a new project
no, i built custom mounts and did the subframe work myself. the only thing i was relying on hinson for was the harness work, which i'm now kicking myself in the ass for since time is everything to me right now and he's 2 days over his stated delivery date.
pics plz or go home
WOW!! Good job Erin!!
Buy u know your offically a red neck now!!! They drive chevys, and even tought the car is a nissan, its the motor that counts!!

I had heard that Hinson was slow on getting things back to you. Hopefully you have what you need by now.
Just spoke to him.. Still no harness
:boobies:
Hinson has fucked me over terribly. i'm scrambling to find another harness though as the car is pretty much ready to run otherwise
he will undoubtedly blame it on the shipping service, but i don't believe it was ever shipped at all.
are you supposed to be at NOPI Erin?
yes, i'm driving in the drift demo... and since Maxxis isn't being very helpful i'll be on BFG's thanks to Kieren at GTE.
Crunch time baby!!! Let me know if you need a backup car

I just came upon this thread. Everything looks amazing. Im not going to Nopi, but I would def. like some detailed feedback on how the car responded and performed.
My stock sr is screaming to tandem with ur sweetness.

saw the car at nopi, very very nice great work!
The car sounds sick as hell. Can't wait to see it in action again.
thanks man. it ran great until today, the oil pump gave up on life and i believe i spun a rod bearing
dam tough luck,thanks man. it ran great until today, the oil pump gave up on life and i believe i spun a rod bearing
damn that sucks. that car sounded awesome at the drift demo.
thanks. i'll have it back in action soon enough.
tore it down most of the way and pulled off the rod caps. spun 3 rod bearings on cylinders 1/4/6, with 6 being the worst by far. 1 and 4 were still together, just spun around inside the rod end. #6 is straight trashed
i'll take more pics when i pop the main caps off.
Damn, that is nuts LOL

high rpm oil starvation is bad... mmmmkay?
Holy hell man... It's time to make that engine a beast then...
How many miles come on that engine when you bought it?
I come close to throwing a 302 in a rx7 a few years ago.. but found out how expensive it is.. Kudo's on the swap!

Wow thats alot of wear in a short period of time. Im wondering if it hadnt alreayd been starved some when u got it.
it's a 50k motorset. the cylinders still have crosshatching in them so it's not worn that bad.
well all of the previous demos on saturday i'm sure started the problem, it just didn't become apparent until sunday when it started to knock.
I have been so far out of the loop as far as having time to get on here I didn't even know you had it in the car and running haha! Good luck on the build!
