Well, if the battery was out, I'd crack the ECU open and make damn sure everything was dry/cleaned before even attempting any cranking.

The motor is already out right?

Zach McAfee 09-01-04 02:46 PM

The block is still in it, but the intake and stuff is all out.

onepointone 09-01-04 03:11 PM

that sucks zach

alex (the guy with the very clean s14, purple) had it parked by mcv. 10ft of water covered the car. he drove down to florida to get that car and that shit happens. ill post pictures when i get back in town. or if you want they are over on the lookoutdrift.com forum, in the picture/video section. its a very sad sight to see his car like that :(

im wondering how my car did. i left it at work. it should be fine as it was at the higher up part of the parking lot, but who knows. i hope its fine because its not like insurance is goign to give me anything for it if something happened.

Zach McAfee 09-02-04 02:37 PM

Jesus, if the GTU was finished I'd say I'll take it, but it's gonna be another month or so.
Damnit, timing is everything.

Anyway, check out the new intake manifold. It's gonna look pretty slick.

NICE!! What did you use?
anyone else going to Verona on the 19th?
besides me

Zach McAfee 09-02-04 03:26 PM

I used 500 degree satin black paint and polished the fins.

hey guys my FD is having gay electrical problems and i need to get it towed somewhere. my EGI fuse keeps blowing on me every time i turn the key to the on position which means there is a short in the wiring somewhere, i just cant find it. ive gone through about 20 fuses already. I got it so it didnt blow on me once (dont ask me what i did to fix it cause i dont know) and as i was driving it went out on me again. where should i get it towed to to work on it cause this is pissing me off.
thanks,
Craig

Josepi 09-03-04 09:58 AM

Why not just find out everything that's "behind" the EGI fuse and test the wiring?

niburu 09-03-04 10:00 AM

Looks like we have an event again on Sept. 26 with some restrictions.
VMSC members check it out on the forums over there.

I wouldn't be surprised if it unloaded fast, but I have my fingers crossed. ;)
Ya know, I could probably get around $7,000 for my car...

Hey Mike, don't buy that S14. You remember how much fun you had driving my car? :)

onepointone 09-03-04 10:47 PM

im pretty sure alex is going to buy it back from the insurance company, and have it as a race car. hes got a turbo kit hes been building for it, but just hasnt put it on. its going to be a sweet ass race car

Zach McAfee 09-04-04 10:18 AM

That's probably the smart thing to do. Flood damage sucks.

I pulled the dash from the GTU today. I'm surprised how easy it was, with a little help from the archives.

Josepi 09-05-04 05:47 PM

My car, you bastads know the shit in there, 4K and it's yours.

I'm spent.

onepointone 09-05-04 10:01 PM

:eek:

dude, i wish

Zach McAfee 09-06-04 06:30 PM

Anyone have any good NA rotors?

Zach McAfee 09-06-04 07:33 PM

This is what happens when your a moron and you build an engine:

Someone decided not to reinstall one of the torington bearings.

No dash for you!

my car is up for sale. i found a really good deal on a 240 and i want to pick it up. yall know whats up with my car. 1700. i JUST put new hawk hps pads on it yesterday as well as an oil change. the car will come with 2 extra sets of rims, spare tranny, spare clutch/pp, everything on the car minus the cd player.

if you forgot, its going tokico blues, eibach springs, and suspension tech sway bars. racing beat header, 2.25in exhaust going into a stock 'over axle,back' muffler. i have the muffler that was on the car that will come with it as well. tires are less than 3 months old, but have seen a few autox's.

im on my way to rolling over 162k on it, but the car is strong as hell. she hasnt failed me yet and i dont expect it to.


anyone interested?


edit: also theres a gsl rear end in it, lsd, 4 wheel disks.
