Hahah Quote from K.V. Jr's Breakfast of Champions: "Dumb F#$@ing bird" Hobbes: Thats your check coolant light. The white smoke is from coolant buring in your engine. Don't bother with your plugs and wires, its time for a new headgasket.

Its SSAC. Are you the kind of guy who likes to gamble? I don't think you will have to register to see this post on another forum, but have a look-see at the photos in that thread! http://www.ka-t.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10951&highlight=newbs

That sight makes me emotional.

HAhah hella funny! Thanks for the compliments guys more to come this week

Seriously! No, I decided no turbo. Maybe No2 if I get bored. Mostly this is supposed to be my daily driver. So overall, nothing too crazy. Just a badass street car with 4 doors and a big I-6!

Cool, I will be checking in for updates. The spark plugs that came out of my 7M looked just like that, but I never took the head off. I will be interested to see what you discover.......I am keeping my fingers crossed! Your cams don't look too bad to me. The reddish color of everything...

Thanks man! This car won't be winning any car shows, but it will look pretty good. Besides, once the engine and everything is back in, not many people will be looking for the tiny bubbles and the moth that got stuck to the second coat. Tomorrow I will be test fitting the 2M oil pan on the 7M!

Why would anyone want to make their engine run hotter? Heat = detonation. I promise you that during a 20min lapping session at a race track you will NEED cooler cyl temps. Here are a few points to think about: Why do turbo and high performance engines run COLDER plugs? To help pull heat...

Switching grades of gas probably won't do anything, but try 87. If it does, then change your spark plugs and wires, cap and rotor and check out your coil to be sure its up to spec. If you are loosing power its probably because of basic mantainance issue. It could also be your cat. If its bad, it...

The higher the octane the colder it burns and the harder it is to ignite. Thats why turbo cars always use higher octane, to help defend against detonation.

If you used a flash it probably would have been fine. The photo looks dark, so there was probably a long exposure. Even a little movement from your hand will blur a photo during a longer exposure

That stuff is gross. But yeah, its supposed to be there. My Nissan has it in a few plugs near where things get wet.

Hella rad. Looking good!

Thanks for the info. I figured drilling a hole in the block would be the easy part, but I wasn't sure about fitting the dipstick tube into a new hole or sealing the old spot.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHALOLOLOLHAHAHAHAHAH ROTFCOPTER

I am interested in how you go about tapping for the dipstick. What will you use to plug the old spot? Is it threaded so you can use a bolt? I like your project. Its cool. I think much of our research overlaps! I will be checking in with you when I need advice! hahah

Thanks. Nothing recent from the track. Last time I was at the track the car was still N/A, about a year ago! The car has been down a lot sorting small issues. Everything is solid now though, just did a 400 mile round trip to the mountains. I was not driving slow on those twisties ;) July 6th...

KA24DE turbo. Its the 240sx equalivant of NA-T 10psi is good but 13psi was running just a bit too lean to be safe. So I am stuck @ 10psi until I bump up the fuel pressure. Need an adjustible FPR for that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8EFMinOHg For those of you interested...

What a day. I spent most of it squatting in the engine bay scrubbing, sanding, washing, and elbow greasing. Then I taped and painted. At the last minute I decided that I would never be able to match the color, and went with gloss black. Black has a way of hiding your mistakes, but gloss black...

Right. +1 So are you talking burnout at the dragstrip?
