yeah...other stuff DOES happen. (falls over dead from moving MORE furniture testerday morning)

 

Man, we beat the richmond thread on views. :p

I was out with my mom too, then I moved the last of my stuff over. My move is complete. thanks Dan, Munchi (I'll spell it the way I want!), and Ari!

 

Someone buy my computer. It comes with six monitors.

 

Jason's gonna be helping you more with your install I think... I'm just going to help when there are problems. I've got my own car to megasquirt and a girlfriend to pay attention to....

 

Same brand still 7 pin, but where the old one was meant for a remote-mounted coil, the new one was meant to be mounted very near the coil. I think that could be part of what made the tach signal more stable... the new module must be shielded better to deal with being right next to the coil.... where the old one wasn't shielded very well, and would start outputting a bumpy tach signal above 5000 rpms.

 

"Spice" came along too... lol, she's the un-official 7 Club puppy


In darker news, my car's pretty much toast.... blown head gasket..

 

gah! not toast yet... wait till the gasket is replaced, and the fluids are back where they belong... if after that, you hear bad noises, "toast"

EDIT: Julian and I are gonna be putting the suspension on the hachi on saturday... so get your head gasket by then, and we can have a garage day at the house... well without the garage....

 

might wanna get some nice ARP headbolts and (if you feel like getting yer head milled and block decked) get a metal headgasket

 

I don't know if I'd spend that much money on this engine if I were him. It had already run completely dry on oil once before, and now for a second time... I'm not sure that the bearings are going to be great... replacing the head gasket would be a stop-gap till he can afford a new engine

 

Meh, I think i'll just move onto trying to get a new engine instead of playing maybe and if... the thing's given me enough trouble as is...

 

do you have an outlet for them all??

And DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET A STRIPPED SPARK PLUG OUT?? i was in the process of changing my spark plugs.. got the front rotor done.. but when i went to do the second rotor the plug wont unscrew!!! i tried several times.. with the wrench.. my hands are to big to put a pair of ployers down there.. if anyone want to take a look at it and possibly know a way to get them off.. LET ME KNOW!!!

(its the last thing i need to finish my tune-up)

 

I hope it's the plug that stripped and not the housing....

 

That's no likely. Plug = Steel. Housing = Aluminium...

Things look grim.

DarkAngelKamui:

A friend of mine is looking to get a 240SX. (1989 SE model)

It's supposedly got a rebuilt KA24 and slushbox in it. He was looking at reselling the KA + tranny and getting a (m@d JDM y0) SR20 and manual.

If you want, I'll let you know about it.

As of, I haven't seen the car on a lift or under the hood. Only a walk around... So I won't say much about it until I see more.

 

Thanks for the lookout, but that'd be a downgrade for me... my 89 S13 has a KA24DE (S14 engine) in it as is, so either I find another like it or I just go the way of the SR20 as well...

 

/me still thinks replacing the head-gasket and actually HAVING a car to drive around while you save for the new engine is the best bet....

 

I was trying to go easy on him

 

As do I, but i'm trying to weigh all the factors in on it as a whole... we still didn't narrow down where all the oil was going prior to this point, it did run bare for awhile, electrical issues, etc.

 

RB25!!!! yay!

 

no matter what, it was running ok, the oil prolly went into the cooling system, which could be flushed... (although not OPTIMAL or even desirable, it would probably WORK)

even if it did run bare for a while, it was running OK after the last oil change... it'd probably be enough to hold you until you can get the new engine...


c'mon man, you have to save some money... and need transportation.

 

No, the name of the game is keep it cheep and easy. Headgasket + stock headbolts + assembly lube. In the relm of $50 or so, instead of $700 for full rebiuld and decking and new bolts and all (And with no gain whatsoever).

So yeh :p

What? No, want to buy them?


Bring it by my place (It's not that far, CP!) and I'll get a look at it.

 

I think i'll just borrow Jason's bike and hit the metro for a few weeks.... either that, or do some grandscale scheming to make enough for a new engine and ECU

 

build and sell megasquirts, you know how to solder...

 

Hmmm, not a bad idea at all...

Only problem would be finding a buyer base to sell to...

lol, too much effort.... No worries though, since my "Sky40SX" project will one day come to light... just don't have the cash to jump into such a thing right now...

 

rob a bank! ask christain about it. I'm pretty sure he's looked into it a few times for himself....

 

EBAY... that's what julian and I are gonna do... we MIGHT let you sell with our "company" if you ask nice...
