You said it woooow

Still have a short in electrical. No dash lights or wiper or rear defogger. Back track a little.... the rear defogger never worked since got the car. So dummy me, I put a fuse in and tried to it. Thats when I lost all the above. Can you say sizzle. Lost the oil pressure gauge as well. The gauge reads 80lbs all the time. Tested the sender and is good. Screwed in a oil pressure gauge and have good pressure. Will source a newsed gauge somewhere. Weird all the other gauges work, gas, water temp, amp and clock just no lights.
On to other things. Realized I have ngk rated 7 temp plugs and going to 8 on the plugs. Was told also the narrow ceramic tip plug I have is not good. So will be replacing that when I get back on the 23rd. Oh yeah,, I am in GreenBay WI for the next 2 weeks.
I also have been reading about the pcv valve. I have my crank case venting to atmosphere and the valve cover with just a filter. I am going to change that. Getting a PCV valve, plum into the intake and run the valve cover to the suction side of turbo.

Mine do not rub.... Could it be it is not seated all the way?

Been there, had my 240 stolen 10/20/12. recovered 30hrs later stripped. I hate thieves! Only thing I got back was the wheels sentra spec-v and the rear fortune 500 coilovers.

Just did this.... i just turned 21. You can look at my build blog in my signature. Short of the story is!
Body work or Mechanical work. Mechanical is as easy as replacing parts and some electrical, body work is more detail and can not be easily redone.
So find a good car that has the good bones for body and paint.
Then do a L28et swap, put an intercooler on it and that would be plenty fun for a 16 year old.
Things I would not do in your shoes that I did...
- tranny sap
- brake swap
- dif swap
- coil over install
That will save you a lot of money.

Fixed the exhaust leak. Pretty quick took me an hour. I think I could do it in 30 min now.
-
Yeah,, now I have the car lowered and cruising around I have to look up to most cars. Actually duck you head down and look up at people.
Still way cool!
Next to a 350z

Great video... Tampa streets are a little rough.
Like the cop cruise by at 3:44. Did not look like he gave you second look.

Issue has been fixed. Not sure why this happened.
I had 7 items running off the same ign on circuit. I removed all but the ign/coil ign on wire. Have all the rest set up on a seperate fuse box.
This has solved the no start, coil lock up issue.

Here is the exhaust leak. Lost one nut on the turbo to exhaust manifold flange. Blew out the gasket. I tried re-installing the nut and tightening the other nuts, but did not work still leaked.
-
Couple days late but did get the front spoiler on...
But, today found the exhaust leak! One nut had fallen off, put another one on and hoped it would seal up the leak. Did not work!
-
Bummer... sorry to hear. I lost a nut on the turbo to exhaust manifold flange and blew the gasket out.
Not as bad as yours.

Kewl stuff

Car has now developed an exhaust leak. Now that I have all the couplers holding pressure its spitting from some where else. Upon inspection the lower exhaust nuts/washers are loose. Seems the washers are collapsing between the intake and exhaust manifolds.
It was to hot to work on. I will drive dads 300z to work and will work on it tomorrow after work.
Stay tuned
-
Great project. Looks like you have gotten most issues figured out.
-
Thanks for the correction. I tried that way first. I figured someone would notice. The holes for the fenders would not line up with the lower spoiler. Lined up this way. Getting bumpers soon and will correct it at that time.
