what causes their turbos to break so easy? the ones that split were display pieces from what i heard. and the ones "exploded" i heard were from oil starvation. think that they are balanced, and use the actual hardened bronze bearings, and good quality thrust washers? has anyone taken these apart to check and see? i've tried searching and couldn't find up-to-date info on their current turbos. so far ive only found things from last year. i know people are still buying them, b/c i watch the auctions. i know alot of the name brand ones are made in mexico.

i will consider this freak weather imo

if you are an DIY'er you can build up a good coil over setup....
-
you shouldn't have to hack em' b/c they should have some flex to them.
-

using the same harness myself but on my 280zx, pain in the ass if you wanna keep stock connectors. best bet im my case is to use all new switches. but i am in no way stock anything anymore. if you do do it solder every connection but test to make sure you connected the right wires to what (stock side). anyhow i got halfway trying then i quit and decide to redo the entire system even down to all the switches

heavy military vehicle mechanic with L-3 vertex communications......all i can say is that it pays the bills
-

is that a dashboard from a 180sx/240sx/s13? how did it fit?
yes it is and no it did not fit, had to do alot of trimming. it fits now is all i can say, just gotta glass it to finsh look as well as paint it.
-
the car is being totally remade to my standards which arent very high
anyhow i like it and now has a somewhat modernized lookgonna have to paint the dash black and trim some more here and there
BTW sry for the mess!!!

do a ka24de, cheap plentiful potential!

bolt pattern is the same but the backspacing is a problem. it has backspacing close to a fwd or something in that sense, spacers should solve that problem

voicing what I believe FROM EXPERIENCE to be 100% true.
Beyond that money and perfection have nothing to do with this.
Idk why I keep having to say this but... There is nothing wrong with a cheap paint solution. If I was on a tight, budget and needed paint I would do it in a heart beat. That though shouldnt and will never be called a "show quality" paint job lol. Thats all I'm saying.
you are 23yrs old and you have a ton of experience obviously b/c it seems you have done it all and know EVERYTHING.
money and perfections has EVERYTHING do do with this thats why peeps who do this spend LITTLE, and get BETTER results by just sanding and buffing do it, so dont voice it has nothing to do with it, b/c if you do your in the wrong thread.
what i highlighted in red up there infact is a insult to my post/opinion just like how you posted b/f, thats why i am no longer lurking the forum. If you want to go that route, you should never "insult" people to voice an OPINION

dude, are you going to continuously dog my post, your point has been made mr. professional get over it. post some pics of show quality if you will, but this is a cheap way to get things done to descent standards imo. don't take this offensively but youre quite a cocky one, all your cars must be gorgous b/c you dont want anything but perfect apparently. for us less perfect fellas and tight butts out there this is an option that suites our needs, so if you constantly keep picking at my post; i will reply. so stop being so critical..... btw i have seen show quality paint, and its a waste of money imo b/c if i did spend that kind of money i would never drive that car, and that defeats the purpose in having a car. no trailer queens here
look at my sig, now thats a show quality paint job all the way! -
The stock, round top, SU will feed a otherwise stock L-28 just fine up to about 6k. After that and they simply cannot supply enough fuel. Also you should contact Z Therapy and get some SM needles. They will provide the richer fuel curve needed with a 2.8L.
thats what ive done and it runs really good only smoked b/c of bad valve stem seals. now replaced them and it runs extremely well

anyhow i like it and now has a somewhat modernized look
Car is under it`s own power, took some pics
