KenshinX Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 The q45 throttle body is for later (custom intake) the 240sx TB is going on the manifold I'm getting ported out. I'm not gonna use a spacer. Yes, it does feel quite good lol getting new parts, but I don't think I'm going to make it in tie to drive my Z to school before the last day I'm a senior kinda sucks tho. I'm just tryna achieve 350whp to beat my rivals WRX he's rich. lol. I'm not I've been working very hard to get to this point and I hope I succeed if not I still have a nice car. If I do win or just barely lose I still am happy with the fact that he has a 07 WRX with xxxxxx amount of dollars in it plus the cost of the car while I spent $6500 including the car and gave him a run for his money. .

KenshinX Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well theres been a slow down in the build up for two reasons: 1. I'm going to college and I need to start saving up for 2nd semester. 2. I want to take it nice and slow and go for 450whp. The reason for number 2 is during the last week of high school i finally brought my Z to school after getting the carbs tuned. I decided to do that so I could prove that I actually do have the Z once and for all; 1 problem though I didn't have enough time to drop in the turbo motor. But I'd rather show something. Well, I got the carbs tuned and man this car was really at 100% now I mean she could move. I always thought the motor had been built, but not like what I was told from the guy at tidewater Z. Heres what the L26 really has: -Custom Cam -Built head -Competition headers -Twice pipe exhaust Its on SUs but from what I was told the way its set up it is suppose to or had triple webers on at one point. Anyway, I brought the Z to school to show to my rival and his "crew" I parked her in the profile position (at an angle) at the back of the parking lot. And everyone was all over it like woah whats that? "its so sexy" " I love the gas smell." I just said really it doesn't have the maxwell house can muffler or crazy paint job and you guys like it lol. Well, then my rival shows up in his WRX with a new turbo cat back exhaust and other mods. He parked beside me And told me to "start it up." That was a mistake to my surprise the Z was alot louder than his AWD boxer engine and he said his car sounded like a V8. Not even, I had this huge grin on my face after seeing the look on his face. He didn't even wanna race anymore. Kinda sucks cause I spent all that money on the turbo motor and I probably didn't even need it guess I'll never know. Although, I didn't get to drive the car everyday that day alone was good enough for me. But on the way home the brakes locked up on me AGAIN which caused me to want to convert over to discs.

KenshinX Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 I went to several Junkyards looking for a Maxima and found an 82 but the brackets were welded on. So my option at the time was nissan for $100 per bracket (outrageous) or a set I spotted on ebay. There was also this company I found on here for $165 a set but the opening price for the auction was $5. So I watched it and I was willing to pay $165 for them since they were already cut to go around the stub axel. I won the auction at $132.50 I was happy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170236258559 Heres the heart stopper. 2 days later my dad calls me while I'm at work to say he had saw a maxima on the side of the road like the one at the junkyard, but it had bolt on brackets. The guy was gonna junk the car so he got them for $10!!!! I was so pissed. Today I just got the ebay brackets and the seller sent me a hotwheel still in the package that was a 240z so that put a smile on my face. Haha. What a week. If the seller is a member on here, THANKS!

PanzerAce Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 If by brakes locking up on you, you mean that you slammed the brakes and started skidding, the last thing you want is to switch to discs. The problem is that your brakes are TO powerful for the car (or atleast, you were pushing them to hard). Get some more grip before you upgrade the brakes.

KenshinX Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 No, by locking up I mean I was just sitting at the stop light normal traffic no heavy braking and the driver side locked up completely. The passenger side was smoking I thought I blew the clutch. Turns out the parking brake or emergency brake was coming on by itself. It took me nearly a week to get the driver side drum off this time around. From that point on I said I'm done with drums period. I guess I should be a little more clearer Last year I put the emergency brake on for 5 mins I forgot for what reason next day the car won't budge the driver side rear tire is locked. This year when i pick up my Z from tidewater Z the mechanic had the parking brake on when I picked it up it was sticking a little right then, but I ignored it. On my way home the next day I came to a complete stop and it locked up completely on the drivers side and passengers wheel cylinder went bad.

Jesse OBrien Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 So you're shunning a part that failed from neglect? Discs fail from neglect as well. That's why the service manual recommends regular inspections of all braking equipment. I'm not trying to point fingers or anything, but there's nothing wrong with drum brakes unless you need heat dissipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenshinX Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Discs: -More aftermarket performance selection -Rotors -Personal preference. -Not a PITA to remove when locked. Drums: -Small performance aftermarket. -PITA to service. I dont understand what the big deal is If I'd rather not deal with drums anymore then thats my problem. I could as you why you have exhaust on the sides and not the back? Second question how is that neglect becuase The mechanic put the parking brake on or because I put it on for 5 mins brakes are NOT suppose to lock up like that period. defective drums bottom line. Donor 280zx in the yard with discs easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
