View Full Version : Just picked up a mint 96 s14 and made a noob mistake on the 12 hour drive home

Monday I sold my '93 s13 coupe to get a new daily. Given that I couldn't not get a 240sx, I decided I wanted a Zenki again. Tuesday I flew out to Orlando to pick up a 1996 s14. Only "mod" done to it was a double din head unit - which was done by a shop. Lots of new parts on the car, 9.8/10 interior, regular maintenance, loved it. I was happy with the purchase.

After signing everything over I began my 12 hour journey home around midnight. About 5 hours into the trip I began questioning why at 75mph I was around 4200-4500 rpms.. It seemed a bit high. I also noticed when passing cars the acceleration from 70-80 seemed pretty quick.

After finally getting home I realized that on automatics when overdrive is off the car never goes into it's final gear.. Now I notice what sounds like a small exhaust manifold leak from the gasket. I imagine from driving 12 hours in 4th gear.
Noob mistake. Whoops. Regardless, I'm super satisfied with finally getting another clean s chassis.

Gallo 12 or 24 KA?? On the KA you can tell this by which side of the shifter the gearshift and overdrive buttons are at; if the button points towards the driver it's a Gallo 12, not very highly desirable or good quality engine.

I knew how the forum would react, that's why I posted here. I never owned an automatic before so I honestly just didn't know. It's not like my feelings are hurt haha. I think it's a pretty fucking silly mistake but hey, now I know.

The replies though are pretty amusing. I didn't expect anything less :drama:

How? How is this possible? We've been trying to figure out how to quantize matching numbers for an entire week now and we've all been scratching our heads. In theory, it is impossible, or at least we thought. Another dimensional plane would have to run in conjunction with the solar trajectory of the sun acted upon the inverse of gravitational pull here on earth.

I just don't get it, turbo, OBEEWON, and myself have been discussing this very topic over Skype and you seem to have come in here with perfectly matching numbers? C'mon now man who are you bullshitting?

I see this is much more intuitive than originally believed.. Perhaps the numbers have been within the fabric of the vin numbers.

My man, the only thing worse than not having a numbers matching slab is LYING ABOUT THE NUMBERS MATCHING.

Please if you can pray to the car God's ceramic turbo that when you enter the ulterior side of the chariot you exchanged duckets to aquire that your eyes doth don the numerals in exact copulation of the first second and third. Only then can assurity be for the rest of the ranks to follow suit and in the end match.

If not pray for rain baby, but money grippzz....

You guys are headed into the right direction, however you're missing a key element - an outsider's perspective on the equation you have all been perilously journeying through the moon's quarter gravitational cycle.

Deep within the fabrics and strings of what makes up the universe on the most simplistic and basic level we know Time and Space. However few have been able to comprehend the inner workings of these two ideas that allow them to work coherently. Such as elements are "connected" through chemical bonds, Time and Space also must have some form of connection as well in order to fluctuate the outermost factor which is us, the universe. Time and Space both have specific characteristics that allow them to be bonded by what scientists are calling MAE - Micro Atomic Elements. Currently we have only been able to comprehend 1 MAE. The MAE just so happens to be the key to forming Time and Space as one fabric spread throughout all that is known to zilvians and civilians - "Ju.1". Ju.1, or to use a more understandable term "Justification Bond 10 (we use factors of 10 because the beginning of time has been predicted to be formed with 10 of these elements in mind) is the underlying factor of this connection I've mentioned.

This is where shit gets wild. Put on your fucking safety goggles and thermodynamic aprons folks.
Within Ju.1 we've noticed factors that have not yet been accounted for throughout the ages. We call these Dependant Factors "The Numbers".
See for Ju.1 to work coherently "The Numbers" must match with what is created from the Time and Space continuum. This is paradoxical to some and we are still trying to understand this currently occurring phenomenon and how it is truly possible, but just know it is.
As time passes Ju.1 has been being tested by acting out against the outermost Justification System, and it's being represented within the Time and Space bonds. Negatively.

If we continue on this thinly layered iced floor journey Ju.1 will cease, time and space will both rip apart horrifically, the fabrics and fibers of the universe as we know it will spread apart at a rate so inconceivable the analogy "in the blink of an eye" wouldn't have been able to be processed in your brain's neurons firing with a fresh bottle of Lucas Neuron System Cleaner by the time you would be transformed into nothingness.

The only way to prevent this tragic possibility from happening is to:
1. ALL CIVILIANS. COMPLY WITH THE POLICE.
2. ALL POLICE. DON'T ABUSE POWER.

V1 of this new entity we are referring to as the worlds first Religiousophical Ideology of Centrifugal Entities, or RICE for short, in short is:
Don't be a dick.

The outcome of these actions will be beneficial to Ju.1 and we will certainly see climate changes, mood changes, financial changes, and even sexual tension changes throughout the universe.


I hope that settles "The Numbers" theory, we have been working in the lab day in and day out to try and bring the answers that matter to the questions that matter.

About 5 hours into the trip I began questioning why at 75mph I was around 4200-4500 rpms.. It seemed a bit high. I also noticed when passing cars the acceleration from 70-80 seemed pretty quick.


:picardfp: aka the power band.

"And I was driving down the road and shifteded into the higher gear, 4th to 3rd, and what is that called where your RPMS shoot up really high like 4500 and the car has power and you can pass people and it's really loud inside??"

The fucking power band.

Your assumption, that time IS directly related to space, based on Newton's Principia, has since been DEBUNKED, per the school of thought that follows the laws of Uncertainty. How can you consistently calculate a booty clap? I can only conclude that its apropos, unfortunately, that your numbers indeed do not match.
