Expo Prepz

[Erik95LS]

Initial Prep:
Drive car from Baltimore, MD to Chicago, IL.

Secondary Prep:

VQ swap?

There will be a Penn VQ-swapped car, yes

can't wait to see that thing.

Looks like I might try to shove in some R3's in, trying to see if PIC is nice enough to give an Expo Attendee discount first

and for whatever reason my emergency brake has no tension all of a sudden, gotta figure that one out now or I'll never have a chance of winning the drift competition.

Rip out your center console and make sure the handle to cable connection is snug. From there I would put the rear on jack stands and make sure you haven't lost a pin in the rear calipers (unlikely).

there's definitely a lot of play, that little bracket that connects the cable moves rather freely... like you're able to tap it... I compared it against the rusty but faithful R and it was definitely different. I'm sure it's something stupid but I've never messed with it before... hopefully I'll have more time to look at it today.

Let's see if I can get this to work...





I can't wait to DRIVE it!

P.S. Anyone thinking about this for any reason, it is an ENORMOUS pain in the ass. Big time stupid hassles, typical of anything branded "Nissan". That being said, the car was friggin' awesome before, it should be more awesomer now.

My friend is doing an LS1 swap in his S14 dorifto car. Can't wait to take a ride in it. I'm sure your car is going to be fun to drive as well.

[stinkycheezmonky]

That one's my brother's car, but yes, it will be fun to drive

[cheezthis]

What engine is that? I can't tell? Skyline?

[stinkycheezmonky]

VQ = 350Z

[cheezthis]

Oh wow...sounds like a Dave project, except this time in the proper brand car

[stinkycheezmonky]

Casey actually bought the first motor from Dave The one currently in there is a different newer one though.

[cheezthis]

That's funny about the motor movement. I remember it potentially going in a Miata.

I need to head over to Dave's sometime soon.

[stinkycheezmonky]

He has another one, for the second Miata lol. I lose track of the engines he has sometimes.

Edit: We might be wrenching on Friday night and/or Saturday. Give him or I a call if you want to stop by.

[cheezthis]

Werd...I just might do that.

yeah, I'd seen all those. I guess I should've said I can't wait to see it on track/ride in it

[stinkycheezmonky]

Word. He's shooting to have it ready for a Shenandoah weekend to work out the kinks later this month. *Fingers crossed*

[tartje]

I'll bet. Was a shame it decided to start crapping out on him right before he planned on chucking me the keys, can't wait to see what it will be able to do with more power and some instant throttle response.

Car would be ready for test run this weekend, but ECU tuner is taking too long and cant get it back to me before the weekend. I should have all the bugs worked out way before expo, and the car will rip, especially with aero, front splitter and rear wing. I will show you guys a pic when its done, i should be able to take that damn turbo rsx this year.

I was very ready to let you drive the car last year tartje, brake pad failure and wheel shake led to stopping, if your goin to be there this year i will let you.

[Comp97GSR]

.... replace knuckle/hub(s) and axles added to list.

Update:

[coolhandluke]

Those are some fine looking headers. Very nice work.

[Fatchance187]

Damn dude you're not screwin around!

[itrsteez]

Bernie sold me a set of select R2's 10k/12k at a very reasonable price, s2 camber kits from marc just came in the other day, fortunately there is time before to get everything in and setup... Mr Jack, will probably be coming out your way in june.... pretty damn stoked on this development.

[CivicBeater]

Steez, your caR is quite possibly getting wayyyy to nice.

[itrsteez]

Amazing what happens when you throw a bunch of money at something.
