Still, $80 for a front cover and oil seal? I think I can get them from my junkyard for like $10...

And even HEAVY sandblasting shouldn't do that, but oh well...

 

okay just imagine that you happen to be the most unlucky person in the entire world....

 

I have a spare front cover if needed, only issues is that its painted grabber green

 

He could just sand blast it. 0h wait....

 

snws gonna be pissed...

 

what?

Congrats, is that at a tech school?

 

you got a miss. and sure took its sweet as time to start. also, booooooring. hahaha.i got my 260ZT to start first try, re-timed the oil pump shaft and drove it. had a few intermittent loose connection problems after but otherwise i was driving it. haha. all you n00bs blow.

 

yeah i wonder where my miss is coming from...probably a shitty injector. thanks for the advice but i dont want to take too much time out of ur busy schedule arent u supposed to be **ster**ting to a mirror.....

 

why a mirror when i got pics? ha. homo. possibly an injector, maybe just a bad connection but it could also be spark delivery didnt i hear someone mention something about they saw an arc? in the vid that is... you always got this to look forward to:

how it should start


how it should idle n rev


ok not as high of an idle haha but it was on F-idle so it lower when warm

and how it should drive and break traction when accelerating on cold roads under boost



listen to my friend scream when the rear starts swaying haha. in his defense it did point us right at a mailbox at 60mph. haha. meh. still a baby. and yeah it was snowy out but the roads were dry just cold, it does hook up a bit better in warm weather.

 

im just messin hahahah i think my favorite part is "shut up ur not supposed to be talking" hahahahahhaa!!! okay so I'll check out my spark gap, my injector pulse and my Air flow meter I can't think of what else it could be...I know my wires have good resistance I tested them just a few months ago. Anyhow those are some pretty sweet vids

 

come on nismo i know ur reading: i've been waiting for your cyber-step-father input <3

This is EPIC! It runs! It lives!

Now... to actually get it on the road...

 

well here's the update:
while i was waiting for my injector (one was leaking if you can hear me talk about it in the video) a kid in my auto shop dropped a socket into the valve cover...down the timing cover...so I spent the past week getting it out and getting a new front seal. Turned it on today and then about a minute it had this terrible screetching noise coming from the block then it died. tried to start it a few times and it screeeeched and i decided it was bad to continue. hmm....oil check = 4.5 litres but not one drop circulated into the oil filter...i think im going to sell this whole thing and drop Z's soon this is getting too frustrating so this is my last post bye bye Z's

 

Did you put your oil pickup tube on? Anyways sorry to hear...

Can I have your Z's Please? lol

 

solution: always prime your oil pump i guess

is that you in the black sweatshirt? why were you not IN the car watching all the gauges and making sure everything was okay instead of sitting on the fender and revving it right after you started it?

 

and prime the oil filter. why wouldn't you prime those?

 

Did you ever think that he had already done that before this video?

 

yes, but it's STILL a good idea to do that, especially with all the problems he's had in the car.

 

i was monitoring the water temp i had been running it all day. rose to about ~190 then dropped wayy down. after running this for a while i the cylinder block was about 175*F valve cover and head were 150* and radiator was reading around 170*. Tach is now working now just my oil pressure wired up.

 

one clutch master cylinder, one clutch slave cylinder, one cut up and rigged gas pedal, ten feet of wire, 20 feet of electrical tape, 1 gallon of gas and 5 miles later:

he's home

now to get some exhaust, register it and get a license plate. I've never been so paranoid driving such a loud thing 5 miles, holy **** its SOOOO loud at 3K with open downpipe!! and the shreek of the turbo!!

 

its not that loud dude. don't be such a *****. i've driven MUCH louder. hel i drove my 260Zt for 3 months DAILY with an open downpipe and didnt get pulled over once. so how does it run now? did yah floooor it? and what is the deal with the wire electrical tape and gas pedal reference?

 

no i didnt floor it!! it's still break in period got to wait about another 2,995 miles! yeah it is really lacking some torque with no exhaust. i have to also adjust my lifters... dude its a miracle though, my school has a police station/academy and there's a police department between me and school
