SO, as some of you may know, i popped my motor at the Full Auto Motorsports drift workshop... i WAS considering parting it out, but decided against it...

alrighty, so here's the deal, decided not to part out, and i'm going to buy clawhammers motor that we rebuilt together...

specs for those who don't know

S13 SR20DET Red Top, with low low miles Black Top head
0 miles (maybe 5 minutes of run time)
fresh OEM rebuild
ARP head studs
APEXi MLS head gasket
HKS Step 1 cams (finally getting them back from his **** ***, LOL much <3)
GReddy rocker arm stoppers
all new NISSAN OEM gaskets
new OEM front and rear seals
newish timing set


SO, here's the game plan...

pull the motor out of the black car, the one that's knocking, and throw in clawhammers long block (wont even tell ya how much i'm getting it for), then take the knocking motor, throw it on a stand, tear it down, do a full OEM rebuild, collect other SR parts like trans, harness, ECU etc etc etc over time... THEN drop the basically stock SR into my coupe... and use it as a nice, fresh, low HP boosted daily for myself, and my girl...

dunno when all this is going down, but i should have clawhammers motor by the end of this week... might swap out this weekend, but i dunno, i got that kouki i'm building for that guy in Ft Lauderdale and parts are rolling in for that...

but yeah, that's whats going on in the world of BZ...

oh, and fun times!!




just a couple pics from the event...

cliff notes on event-

i improved GREATLY from the last event, i was ****ty in the morning, and by the end of the day i was linking the whole course...

first time ever doing 3rd gear entries (yeah, i know, slow for some, but i'm still new at this), and was clocking 60mph entrance speeds...

about 1/2 into the event, after HOURS of seat time, i ended a run, came to the pits, and found out i had rod knock...

fun times!!!!

drove it 2 hours home, and she's now parked awaiting the semi built motor!

oh, and i finalized the deal, and got all paid up on my coupe, so i'll be bringing that home tomorrow....

 

coupe love!!!!

finally got her tagged and legal!!!! got her all detailed up, threw in some S14 seats to get rid of the 13 junkers... now to get the HUD/cluster lights working....



might even leave her single cam auto to **** people off... she's a GREAT driver... can't wait to start tearing it apart!

can't say i'm not a nissan enthusiast, the line up-

1996 SR swapped S14 SE
1991 Skyline GTR
1989 S13 coupe w/aero

 

Life is full of choices....

 

haha what lovely choices also on your digital speed-o take out your cluster find the speedo capacitor and warm up a solder and just touch it to the capacitor. thats how i fixed mine for the most part

 

Damn dude, when did you get a skyline? lol. I havent been keeping up on your thread enough I guess. Cant wait to see what choices you make in the future. Great build!!

 

how is the swap/rebuild going?

 

good stuff on the skyline. Im not wasting my money exporting one from japan Ill just buy one in the states. when I decide to return that is lol.

 

scott..you didnt know? that was all the hype over on 240fam. haha.

i love black zenkis car so much..

 

******* non working HKS EVC boost controller not working....

i was stuck at the 12psi i think it was, or like 12.5psi... something like that, so i didn't get the power numbers i wanted, but more than expected for just 12psi...





AEM EMS was touched up by Martin from Z Fever, dynojet used at Proven Power...

since i wasn't able to "finish" the tune (sounds a lot like the black car lol) Martin/Doug gave me a good deal, and i basically prepaid for the final tune, so when i get a working EBC/MBC in the car, all i gotta do is call em up, ride down there, and get it finished without having to pay....

oh, and as for the numbers, i only made 400whp @ 12psi, kinda ****ty..... Martin said with a working MBC/EBC I'll see 500whp @ 18-19psi all day long....

that is all.

 

"only 400 hp"
I strongly dislike you.

 

well it kinda sucks, cause when your amp'd up about making 500+, and the EBC takes a dump, and you can only make 100 less than the goal, it turns into "only"... especially when a $30 manual boost controller would have fixed me up... i'll be back there in a week or two to finish it off... getting the profec b 2 for $100, gonna slap that in, Martins gonna email me the settings, and I'll ride out and get it done...

 

I agree... I hate you lol

 

sad news guys....

black car is now sold...

time to start building the GTR up real real big, and do the S14 kouki front on my coupe...

stay tuned kids!

 

Why did you sell the zenki?

 

rod knock, and i wanted to fix the GTR up... time for me to kick it up...

that, and i got my coupe to **** around with...


well, just ordered some wheels for the GTR...

Work Emotion XD9's in white
18x10 +18

now just gotta wait 4-6 weeks for them to get shipped from japanland...
