After I got this turbo on, I drove it for a few months. It developed some rod knock, so I parked it. While I was deployed to Afghanistan, I took it to a friends house to have some work done.

I finally came home from Afghanistan a few months ago and have been frantically trying to get my car finished. The guy who built my car ended up skipping town and leaving my car unfinished.

Quick video of it running.
KA24DE-T running - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPtY66BCuRs)

I put a new harness in it because the original harness had a short somewhere and the maf was putting out a signal. With the new harness it worked great. I cut it off for the night and when I went to turn it on the next day, no spark. Ive put in a new distributor, plugs, wires and still haven't been able to get it to run. Taking it to a shop soon to see if they can get it working.

[idriveslideways]

I really thought this would get at least one comment.

[Twinkies!]

any other things planned for it?

[Jay Gadsby]

Nice man, I am in killeen too, working on my kouki autobody project now. And if you need some powdercoating done, let me know.

[ForeignMuscle]

Nice heat shields. Roll Tide.

[reaper6071]

yo great build!!! yeah im a soldier and im work on mind to tryin to get it right when i get it alittle more together i will be puttin it up

[Banana_Cute]

who jacked up the car on the intercooler? LOL.

anyways. do you thing man. You have a long way to go! Good Luck!

[nastymilk]

I love the red intercooler, looks unique. Keep on it man! She's getting there :D

[RastaS14]

Looks like a nice build list! Keep it going.

Sucks about the no spark issue. What makes you so sure it's lack of spark and not fuel? Could be a dead fuel pump or clogged fuel filter?

[idriveslideways]

Well I finally got this thing running, but was still plagued with problems. I just didn't have the time to mess with it anymore. I ended up selling for 3500 and bought an 07 350z.

[SupaDoopa]

Nice move. That welding on the piping is kinda... yeah. Haha. I loved my Z33. What are your plans?

[idriveslideways]

My plans for it are pretty simple. Exhaust, JWT popcharger intakes, coilovers, Nismo V2 front lip, and enjoy the ride.

[Dolph_KYAS13]

is that a bricklen in the background?

[SupaDoopa]

The whole Nismo V2 front is so dope. With the right wheels and lips all the way around, you can pull that off so easily.

Also, I have JWT's. I loved 'em. You're really going to like the car.

[idriveslideways]

What's a bricklen?


So far I love this car. Although it's starting to feel slow :cry:

[EsChassisLove]

Just going to point out one thing.

You have an external gate on your manifold.

And an internal gate all hooked up on your turbo.


What

The

Fuck

[idriveslideways]

That car got scrapped a long time ago. Hence why I have the Z now.

I'm guessing you were referring to the old turbo set up that was externally gated. I sold that set up, went to the greddy set up, then sold the entire car and bought my Z.

[DNAmotoring]

Nice builds. good job cleaning up that curb rash, looks good. keep it up!

[idriveslideways]

It's been a while since I posted on this so I figured I would show you guys where it's at now.
