NICE CAR MAN

Sounds pretty nice. What kind of power are you making with that setup?

Little update on the car. I can't drive it right now because of legal reasons which will probably turn out to be bulls***. I was stopped (and almost arrested) for improper registration but I think its going to be thrown out. Thats the bad news. The good news is that I now have time to work on the car and not worry about whether or not it runs :). I took my gauge cluster out to see if I could find out why it wasn't working right. Still don't know but I cleaned it up a bit.

I'm also in the process of taking the intake manifold off so I can get rid of all that emissions crap thats on there. I think I'm also going to clean/repaint the manifold while its off and maybe do my valve cover too. No pictures of this yet though.

And finally, here's some pictures (not very good ones) that someone took of the car at a meet. Yay.

Did I call that are what? Which Altima fan are you going to use? I would think the VQ35 fan would be the best bet if it would fit in the s14. My cousin used a dual fan he purchased from either Jegs.com or Summitracing.com.

I believe they are the 94-whenever, generation of Altima. I may end up going with something else though, depends on what I find at the junkyard. If I had the money I would go ahead and get some really nice fans.
 
Hopefully I will get the intake manifold taken care of tomorrow if the weather holds out. A couple people are coming over to help me out because my messed up wrist won't cooperate. lol.
 
Not right now, I'll snap some tomorrow of it if I have time. I should definitely be able to get some this weekend at the beach if I get the intake manifold back on. Yay for less emissions crap :)


I'm a slacker, I know. I apologize. lol.
 
Alrighty. First up is a picture of the engine as its sitting right now.

that thing is sweetloving the color, i hate to say this due to flamming but it would look way better if you tucked a little harder. make it sit right on top or a little lower of the tires, make it look 100% better then the already 100%

Oh I completely agree. I really want to lower it but its just to impractical until I get a set of 18's. If I drop it any more I won't be able to drive it, lol. Crazy part is I have enough thread left on the coils to drop it so the front bumper is sitting on the ground.

Sorry the updates have been so slow guys. Been real busy and hardly have any time or money to put towards the car.
 
So today I went to court and I didn't have to go to jail or anything so thats good. This also means the car should be registered by weeks end.

Anyway, in anticipation of this I decided to lower the back of the car again. Took it down about a half inch this time. Here's some pictures.

The coils:

My man Dan jacking the car up, my wrist is gimp so I suck at this part:

So thats what I did today. I wanted to lower the rear more but I need to get rid of that damn lip thing on the inside of the fender before I can. I'm worried about it all ready. lol. I also want to drop the front more but I can't because of the speed bumps where I live, just another reason to leave the back where it is.
 
Lol what did you have to go to court for? Should you have gone to jail? Lol

Got pulled over for driving without registration and without proof of insurance. I honestly didn't know I was doing anything wrong though. I though you had 30 days to get the car registered but apparently not. For that one (registration) the cop could have taken me to jail on the spot but I talked to the judge and instead of 30days I got off with a small fine :)

The insurance one was just a load of crap. I showed him my policy number and insurance company (card hadn't come in yet) and he told me this, "You can't get insurance on a car that isn't registered." <--- is a load of s***. You HAVE to have insurance before you can register. Basically he just didn't know what he was talking about and wanted to be an asshole.
