well small update...

starter in the black car was shot out, so i stole the one out of the gray s14... cranks up better/faster than before!!!

Also, got un-lazy and decided to install my FReddy oil pan... and in the process, stripped the center of the three rear pan bolts.... let's hope it holds eh?

well, on with the pics....






Greddy oil filter hanging out by the strut tower.... i used Rotella T 15/40 oil, **** works out AWESOME...


Other than that, i got my freshly converted S13 SR to S14 chassis harness in the mail, done by Martin @ Z fever, god it looks BEAUTIFUL, thanks Martin!!! Also, i got my Innovate LC-1 Standalone wide band kit to replace my AEM UEGO, direct port to the NIStune ECU... full on data logging pulls for here on out...

more updates to come... especially some time this week when i send my car to Martin @ Z Fever to get it dyno tuned.... I'll post the printout and numbers etc....

 

any specific reason you went with 15w40? i ask becuase 15w40 is one of those blends that isn't very common in climates like ours, in small engines like ours.

 

i went with it not so much for the weight, but the compsition... it has mild detergents, additives, that for a conventional oil, make it pretty nice... and think, most diesels run for well over 300K miles...

also, a few track events ago, my idle oil pressure dropped from like 18psi to around 13-12psi, i did a oil change with Rotella as recommended by a buddy of mine, and it raised the oil pressure back up to around 15ish...

so guys, i got some AWESOME news.....

my house arrest/probation officer came over tonight for his random visit, and we got to talking... as some of you may know I'm "sponsored" by Don Ahrens, and possibly "sponsored" by Sullivan Racing LLC (if Tom will sign off on it), but Sullivan Racing wanted to see me drive before they did a "sponsorship" with me....

well, he said "just let me know when and where, and as long as you don't spend the night, or leave the state, I'll clear any event/competition you need to attend"

so now, i got a ticket to ride!!!! any drift/road race event i wish to participate in, i'm now authorized to drive!!!!! get ready, cause the black car is gonna hit the track, and hopefully, not the wall.....

 

good stuff and cool pictures of that car meet. s14 in front of the NSX ftw

 

huh? NSX?

 

LMAO dude wtf i need glasses lol.. that Orange coupe looked like a NSX hahahahaahah just look at it quickly

 

LOL... it's a RB25 swapped vert... shiz was NICE...

couple more of my car... found these on some other site... that sexy **** in the black hat and white shirt is me...

 

lol good stuff

 

so.... small update.....

Martin at Z Fever / Fever Racing in Tampa FL is a beautiful, beautiful man.....

as you guys may know, i had sent off a S13 SR harness to be converted for a S14 chassis.... i hooked it all up tonight, and well, it fired right up, no problems, idled smooth as a babys ***.... and then i go to push the happy button.... AC.... i push the button, with recirc on...... ICE ****ING COLD AC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm happy as a pig in mud right now... now, i can boost 15lbs, with 70* cabin temps...... whooping mustangs and camaros with a Parka on FTW!!!

now all i have to do it wire in the kick down switch for the IACV... i turn the AC on and the RPMs drop 250-350rpm... he would have done it, but it's something on the body side... i'll probably have Martin do it when i have him dyno tune my car this/next week.... although he said it's as simple as T'ing a wire, and that's it... so we'll see what's up...

so, another thing to check off the luxury list-

Air Conditioning
Heat
Power Steering

now all that's needed is to wire in the KADE throttle body and I'll have the second pulley for my cruise control that Martin also wired in....


THANKS MARTIN!!!!!!!!!

 

now all you need is heated seats.

 

and a air conditioned steering wheel....


heated seats would be nice tho.... do the 350's come with HS's? i wonder if i could retrofit it....

 

nice driver cap mate, i have like 3 of those :P

 

yeah man, that hat is my FAV....



well, another small update.... i sold my AEM UEGO wideband cause it wasn't really compatible with my NIStune, and i've read up on it and i guess it's a piece... so i sold it, and got a Innovate LC-1 with a DB gauge.... got it all installed, and of course, pics!!!

controllers in, sensor wire ran up through the front of the shifter boot... got my calibration switch, and trouble code LED mounted in the center console... a bit loud for my tastes, but a clean install none the less...


here's my wiring mess before final tuck... had to get a serial port>USB to run the controller to my lap top... so i got like 12FT of wire i need to stash away before final install... i want to get a dual port USB hub, so i can have one wire running out of my glove box, and one wire to my laptop, instead of opening the glove box and having a can of snakes pop out at me.... (see the ECU? I'm temporarily running a RS Enthalpy Rom tune)


final install, Innovate DB gauge, GReddy Gauge pod... and my freshly installed Sparco pedals... mind the dirty car, hasn't been detailed in a week, and i've been driving it to work (construction)....


tis all for now..... more updates when i get the terminator plug for the Innovate and get it tied into my NIStune for datalogging.....

 

well, went to my PO's today for my weekly report... reconfirmed my clearance to go to the Desoto drift event event in Bradenton, all's still well with that... i also mentioned that i wanted to get my car dialed in for the event, so he allowed me to go to Tampa sometime next week to have it dyno tuned my Martin @ Z Fever, so YAY!!

I thought i was going to have to have someone else drive it down there for me... but now i get to go, and pic ***** it up.... first car of mine ever on a dyno!!

 

Damn, your like martha stewart but with house arrest.
