Nah, been raining. The box is pretty much out, but one nut on the box is rusted to the bolt, and the bolt is spinning and can't get behind it. Drilled a slot in the bolt for a flathead to hold it while I ratchet it, but it gets dark fast. Might go out and pull the steering linkages out and brass wheel/paint them and get the respeed poly's in it.

He's not banned so much as he isn't going to renew on here, thats all. See this thread about it. Probably what happened to the others as well.

a friend of mine wants to get rid of his turboed 1990 240. so i'm just getting the word out there, i know this is a rotary site, but oh well lol....

http://gunemdown.net/simplemachinesf...p?topic=1697.0

don't know if you'll be able to follow the link up to it, you should tho. if you can't, pm me if interested.

here's a list of some of the mods. . .
"Modification list:

-Engine: KA24E(T). Engine work completed by: Blue Ride Machine Shop. Built by: Jason Shumate (S13.5, www.GunEmDown.net)
-Block bored .20 over
-Rods checked
-Crank turned
-Arias .20 over forged pistons and rings
-All new gaskets
-New timing chain/OEM guides
-Head checked for cracks/checked valves
-ARP Rod/head/main studs

Turbo
- AGP T3/T04 (.63 compressor housing, <10 miles on it – Spools great, and good for 450-500 whp with race gas)
-JGS Manifold
-JGS dump tube
-JGS downpipe (2.5”, wrapped in heat wrap)
-Tial Wastegate (seems like it is a 38mm with a 11 PSI spring in it)
-3” downpipe extension (Greddy knockoff)
-3” cat back exhaust


-JGS motor mounts/Tranny mounts
-Fidanza Flywheel/Short Shifter
-ACT 6 puck clutch and Pressure Plate (rated at 425 whp I believe)
-300zx Fuel Filter
-450cc Injectors
-EGR Plug
-New Master cylinder, slave cylinder, thermostat
-OBX reinforced radiator hoses
-magnet oil drain plug
-Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump
-Front mount intercooler (Ebay style)

-All new intercooler couplers with T bolt clamps
-NEX coilovers
-Zeitronix wideband (adapter for laptop hook up)
-Custom intake w/ AEM Intake Filter
-HKS SSQ Blow off valve
-NGK plugs (2 degree colder then factory)
-Magnecore 8.5 MM Plug Wires
-Altima dual Fans
-Nismo Radiator Cap
-MSD Ignition Coil

Inside:
-Boost, Oil pressure, and temp gauge
-2 Racing seats with 4 point harnesses
-Billet shift ****
-Bride steering wheel (knock off)
-Pioneer 200w cd player with dual pioneer 4x6 door speakers
-G-Tech Pro

Exterior:
-Red paint (re painted a week before I bought it in Oct 2004)
-16” light weight rota wheels
-AS430 tires (front 2 are great; rear two will need to be replaced)
-Tinted windows (legal limit)


Additional parts not on the car:
-Q45 Brake calipers with Hawk Pads
-Hawk pads (for the rear – stock setup)
-Stainless steel brake lines
-ACT Stage 1 racing clutch (good for 250 whp or so I believe; about 14K on it)

Unless it mentions that it’s a knockoff, then the part is the real deal. As you can see, the most vital parts are from the most reputable companies.

The bad: the car is not currently drivable. It cranks, runs, and (after warming up a bit) will idle. However, I’m not exactly sure why it won’t run correctly; I haven’t had much of a chance to look at it myself, nor have I been able to get anyone to look at it. It has a pretty bad oil leak (I think it might be the front main seal)."
