Best excuse for being a slacker and not being on the forums for the past week or so

[the garynator]

So I figured I’d let you guys know why I’ve been nearly non-existent on the forums since the start of the Chimp Challenge. It wasn’t really by choice, but I guess if you wanted to say it was, you could. I really wanted to be a bigger part, however, something came up which has been pwning my freetime (all 6hrs of it this week :< ). Here it is (btw, I had to drive 700 miles to get it and 700 miles back…got 4hrs of sleep Wed. night; 2hrs Thurs. night and had a 15min. nap and a 1hr. nap between 6:00AM Friday and 9:00PM on Sunday…And I drove all but 2hrs. there and all but 1hr. back) Enjoy:




EDIT: Check out post # 25 for my new favorite photo's :)




(I know it isn’t really folding related, but she’s gonna have my lappy in her 24/7 once I get my engine management installed…so I guess you can say she folds (or will fold for that matter) :D )

[smokie mcpott]

mmmm SR20DET... sexy
i think the S13 and the S14's are my favorites
that was a very good conversion...it looks like it is supposed to(dont know what USA was thinking when they started bringing them in).

[NedClocker]

So, what is it? And, why did you have to drive so far to get it? :D:D:D

[Neuromancer]

I think your camera is crooked :)

[smokie mcpott]

its a nissan 240sx thats had a conversion done to make it like the japanese spec nissan silvia s13... the motor used in the conversion is an SR20DET... turbo of course... depending on the rest of the setup it could be puttin 275+ to the ground right now
the 89-94 240 is what that car started its life as

Common, can't tell me no one on here knows their nissans :confused:

lol, :P

Fine, it's an RB20DET (2.0L Turbo inline-six from a R32 Skyline GTS-T)...Figure she's at about 280ish rwhp right now, but I'm shooting to have everything straight w/in 2 months and at that point it will be at about 350rwhp...and keep in mind, the car only weighs about 2500-2600lbs :eek:

[||Console||]

I thought the Skylines have a rb26 tt, I had a 89 240 trunk style with heads up display I loved it ( if the cops didnt take it from me I would still have it ) .
It had headers and a strait pipe no resonator and no cat. the exaust was gutted . I had a SOCK =) over my maf sensor and I had a second computer for it that I put a socket in and had a EEprm that i put a different bin file on took off the rev and speed limit and bumbed up my fuel rails and timmings .

[the garynator]

Oh yeah, more pix:
(some are duplicates cuz I've got them in both places...basically this is a complete list of my pix)

I also took the favorites out of my first post because I moved and deleted some and this was easier.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I love this car more and more every time I drive it! I can't wait till tonight, I'm getting together with my buddies who are going to help me tune her up. I'm going to install my Greddy E-Manage system and tune it on the wide band plus adjust my coilovers (I'd be just as well off w/ solid bars instead, honestly, no exageration! :eek: ).

More info later...and possibly video :drool:

That's awesome gary! :attn:

BTW, I'm going to start moving some of my stuff to Florida on try to help get my parents' new house finished on time. You'll definitely have to take a vacation down there next time you get a chance, especially since you're 21 now! :beer:

I'm game! :beer:

BTW guys, I've been absent more than usual the past week, someone kicked my ecu wires on accident when I was going to give them a ride last friday, and the car hasn't started since :bang head ...I've been working on it EVERY free moment I have had...I overnighted some mad tyte jdm parts from Japan (alright, maybe it was Texas, but shhhhh. lol). They got here today, so I am hopefully going to have it running for the weekend.

Next week I should be able to get on a lot more and take care of some commitments I have made (IE. BAR and stickies). Till then, I'll leave you w/ a link to all of my pix/ videos of teh Silvia :beer: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v283/the_garynator/Cars/89RBSilvia/

The only Nissan I have ever owned was this truck. I was having way too many problems with the Airbag setup, so I ended up selling it. Very good truck, but it was the last time I ever used Firestone 2500's. Last I heard the guy I sold it to painted it some kind of green.

I like mine better... fender gap and all.

Plans for this summer -- Suspension bushings, spring/strut combo, timing chain + cams. Naturally, I would like a lot more, but there is little i can do about reality.

You have a nice car there though, it has a good look to it... And worthy mods, although my favorites are the S13 coupe and S14 Kouki's.
