  1. thanks Guy for the response, I'll check it out. Jason
  2. I used the EO-IC method last time. I think my mistake last time was, I didn't realize that when the rocker arm is down the valve is open. I think I did it reverse (valve is open when rocker arm is up), I'm not sure. What would be the symptoms of bent rods? Or a wiped cam? My car runs and idles fine but has a clicking noise due to the valves and seems to be slower than usual. Jason
  3. Well today I wanted to adjust my valves because I felt like my 350 isn't running like it should. I adjust my valve while the engine is off. I pull the covers turn the engine and turn it again and none of rockers move. If they do it's barely noticeable. I have hydraulic lifters, and a stock cam. I'm guessing the last time I adjusted them I screwed up. Should I try to adjust them while it's running? Any ideas? Jason
  4. yeh I just got ziexes on all four and it was like night and day compared to my old worn out tires. It's so much smoother driving on the street and steering in a parking lot is much easier. I got em cheap too but I wouldn't recommend them for autox. They are great street tires for the cost. Jason
  5. hey marcus, where'd you get those turn signals from? I was planning on doing something similar, with taller signals to fit the whole grill area. I was thinking of doing that cuz when I cracked my airdam it was dragging on the floor and I lost my driverside turnsignal somewhere. And just trying to find that signal at the pick a part is hopeless. For the airdam I was planning on filling the whole signal light area with fiberglass, unless I find a driver side light for cheap. Jason
  6. This exact same thing happened to me, cuz I was using the stock clutch with a lightweight flywheel. What I did was grind down the bolts very slightly and then sanded down the inner recess of the wheel. After it fit fine. Hope this helps. Jason
  7. Damn Marcus I love that hood. Great job! Jason
  8. Here's my v8z most engine and suspension work done. Now I need to work on the body. The front airdam came from marcus' silver z. Thanks again marcus! Unfortunately it got cracked and was dragging on the freeway cuz I ran into an unseen shredded tire recently. But don't worry I'll fix it soon.
  9. Welcome to the site Wingnut, I too have a 240sx and it's a 97 same as yours. I was in your situation a while back and also wanted to do an sr20det swap or turbo my ka, but back then I knew little about the actual mechanics that went into a swap. What I did was kept my 240sx as a daily driver since it was my first car I bought with my own money and I love how it looks and drives. Then bought a 73 240z locally for $700 with a blown head gasket and RUST FREE (it has to be rust free or it would be a waste of time) and dumped about $3000 worth of parts including the engine. Now I have a v8z car that actually scares me when I floor the gas. And I learned so much when doing the swap and maybe when I have the funds I'll turbo my Ka on my 240sx or something. Hopefully I gave you a little inspiration . Well good luck! Also use the search button up top I couldn't have done it without it. Jason
  10. Hi, I was wondering what are the exact bolts you guys are using with your chevy truck mounts. I ask because I'm using 3/8x24x1 1/2 and I think I messed up the thread cuz I can't tighten them. Thanks! Jason
  11. 1997 240sx se, pretty much stock with a magnaflow exhaust and an injen cold air (first car, was almost in ricer mode hehe) 1973 240z, my baby with a chevy 350, t-5 tranny, and almost ready to drive legally on the street.
  12. Count me in too. I'll bring my hybrid but I dont want to be next to tims car, he'll make mine look bad hehe.
