.... Ive done the research to know Ill be fine.

Two things.
1. I didn't say rings.
2. Do m04r research. BTW Nico is not research, its like a orgy of 20guys, 2 retarded chicks, a moose with AIDS.

Ive done quite a bit more than on NICO, and the whole post wasnt dedicated to you, someone else posted saying my rings would go. And whats with the negativity towards NICO anyway?

And Im getting suspension parts this summer, I wanted to swap the turbo while the engine was out.

Suspension plans include:
PBM Coils
-RUCAs
-Toe Rods
-Traction Rods
-Tension Rod
Suspension Tech Sway Bars
GT Spec Strut Bars

You caught me, I knew I forgot to put something on there, the tie rods Im going to look into and probably replace, the rest Im going to check & see if it needs to be replaced or not.

gotpurple--the intake was a ton of money but I felt it was worth it since this way I dont have to get a re-clocked adapter plate for the turbo and it has a recirculation inset already there

lol the clocking adapters are like 40 bucks.

but whatever, its cool to say you have greddy shit.

its going to be even better when you have this super fast engine and your car still looks like that.

and dont worry about the nico comments. it looks like you fit in perfectly over there...

Im painting it white...read up before the comment. Same thing with the GReddy intake. I care more about the engine than the body though..Function over form (i use lame internet lingo)

I do like the people @ NICO, theyre helpful & most of em arent complete assholes

Whats with the hostility seriously? Half the comments on here are people bitching about crap, is there no doing right?

This decided it didnt want to be attatched to my turbo anymore






FRSport is doing nothing, and Nissan offers no warranty on their products. Im fuckin pissed. Looking to get the peice welded back on...

First of all...
1. ur name
2. ur gonna be one of those guys that spends all that money, and is never really going to drive it hard, pretty much a garage queen...
3. all those parts ur getting are pretty baller, but all that power just so u could under steer even faster.
4. lack of research, and like Jay said NICO isnt research, all that boost on used internals.
5. u clearly dont know what ur doing, u should have used all that money on, suspension parts, u dont need power to drift, just mad car control...

this build sucks, no sparkle paint? no balling wheels? no pics of ur girl naked, what kind of shit is this....

im done, Holla back!!!

-Ok so you dont like my name? Stupid but whatever not a big deal
-Its not going to be a garage queen, Im gonna drive it every day.
-As I said before NICO wasnt the only place I looked, Ive been reading up on several different places and talking to different people
-I know that the internals can hold up to 400hp if your lucky, and when they go Ill just rebuild


And I think that no matter what I say yall arent gonna believe me but Ill say it anyway, hoping that maybe I can get some support from you guys.

My original plan was to raise the boost on the t25 and put all of my money into the suspension because as you said before drifting isnt about power its about control. I had to choose what I wanted to do first--suspension or turbo upgrade. I chose the latter because I would rather do the turbo while the engine is out of the car. Suspension is after I get the car on the street and will become a track car [down the road] when I find another car to drive everyday.



I am about function over form, so if it works but isnt pretty while doing it Im ok with that. I joined here hoping to meet some chill people & bullshit about 240s, but all I do is get flamed

And on the subject of suspension, Im looking at coilovers and a few seem to stand out..
PBM
JIC
Stance
Zeal
Fortune Auto

but I also dont wanna spend liek $3k on em which I think the Zeals are pretty close to that. Just curious on opinions

stance, bang for the buck.

how are they for everyday driving? opinions..?
I really dont mind a rough ride everyday so its not too big of a deal but Im curious

theyre all rough. its how it is... you do work and daily it..

i dont get it, how do you have so much money? we are all broke on here. and your 19. do you just work full time and not go to school..?
or are you one of the type of people that went to the rotc thing and blowing all of your money on this car?

anyways. you have a lot of learning to do. you should read more.
cool parts i guess.

I can appreciate your thought process honestly a turbo swap in car isn't to bad but you don't need to worry about that now. I can understand getting your project on the road at least you can enjoy it while you work on it to. Everyonehere is right you should of started with the suspension for drifting then built the power after you were able to handle the car. But you have to learn on your own and make mistakes and learn how to fix them at least you aren't buying all ebay shit and expecting it to last forever you have all quality stuff so you should get some life out of your parts. But as you go on you will learn things you should of done first and things you didn't need to do. But more power to you and I hope you get it running soon.

Well Ill be broke after this build is done lol I go to school full time and I work about 25hrs a week at to jobs [combined]. Both of them pay really well and if I werent spending money on my car...I wouldnt know what to do with it all

I know Im young & have alot to learn-but I know in the past year Ive learned a shitload & will continue to do so! And I know this car wont last forever as Ive said a few times, Ill just rebuild it! I love the 240 and I think I might go a KA-T coupe build next
