Bloody hell its been awhile since I posted in this topic. Well today I bought a Nissan 200sx in black needs some engine work but apart from that Im well happy. Will get some pictures up tommorow. Big thankyou to Chris and Andy AKA Aceritz and Sanchez for helping with the delivery! And im sorry for nearly killing chris!

woooh! another 200! look forward to seeing some pics

Needs a damn good clean about an inch of dust on it will get some before and after shots.

tahts was the most dodgy bit of driving/towing in the world,

picture the scene, all towing chris, al throwing a ciggy out of the window, al looking back after throwing his ciggy to see that he is have way across the road, so pulls back in snapping chris with back in, the car starts snaking, i assume the crash position, the snakin stops, i get a text of chris saying you fookin drive !

Nice car though al, need alot of engine work, but a real good base model to start with, pretty jealious !

Bin the vtec buy the turbo!!

AGREE

Andy was telling me about this today matey well done got loads of drift wheels that happen to be for a s13 AND FORSALE.

Right, in day light we decided to take Al's project down to his mums were its gonna rest in piece !

So like a funeral services al decided to dress it up ready for the grave !




I bet your asking your self at this stage : god how is a man of this size/build/muscle structure going to fit in it, he's like half its size, but he can. I have seen it with my own eyes !


He's some pics of the car cleanish, although it was funny watching al clean it, half way through watching al scrub it i took my eyes off him for one minute and before i knew it, he was spraying the tyres with that tyre shine stuuf. He has the attention span of a hamster.







Oh and here is the wheel after al decideed to drift it in to a big wall on the way home !




Good base model you got there al ! Hope you continue to keep enthusiastic about it as you are now !

Looks good that all.

Looks like a pre-facelift (by the bumper) what reg is it???

If it is pre mate needs a diff/lsd unless upgraded.

I think it does need the diff, taht will come with the new engine, which is deffo needed, stuy said it has moved a shell, then some thing about a beach and lobsters

Its on a "G" plate, so will be un-lSD'd

Its a pretty decent shell, but needs a new engine - once thats in an MOT will show what other bits and bobs are needed

... I just hope it gets more use than the treadmill - C'mon Al - prove me wrong

I hear what your saying boys. Stuy that car has already had more use than the treadmill already. Plan is get it MOT'ed see if its worth perservering with then get a rebuilt or secondhand engine fitted. Then all the ancilliaries sorted ie LSD, suspension etc.

Been on a couple of various websites and found more pictures of my car before it was stored for six months.

Well, latest update on al's car >

nice matchin trainer/hoover combo mate

YAY go faster matts

R they Dyson Trainers ??

does the hoover come with car

took me ages to find a pair of trainers that match the dyson thankyou all for the comments!

I have a mate selling a welded diff matey £40 if your interested.

Just bought myself 6 alloys from him (why i dont know)

quote of the day too ......



'al get out the fuccin way'

yea and wheres the fookin 14

pmsl, thats a 21, try givin me the 17 on a large extender, no al - thats a medium extender !!!!

Good work lads

Keep it up and Ill get away with doing fook all here

you were lucky you nearly had my own personal small extender in your own hand at one point


trust me mr mac you may have got away with not putting the engine in but there will be other jobs!


Once again cheers lads for your help and brother sean for some nice use of your long legs for kicking the engine in place.

Any pics of it sitting in the car

will get some up later today

Is it running yet???

no not yet, i give it 4 weeks from now !

any progress today al?

no progress today mate was out moving office furniture! probably back on it today

Fingers Crossed x

Keep them cowboys away Al

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-HA!

wot do you mean keep them away chris and andy have been there from the start!!

you must have got the inlet back on by now al!!??

Unfortunatly the inlet manifold, all the breather, vacume, fuel etc etc hoses is probably the most complicated area on the engine, and possibly the hardest bit to work on with the engine in the car

i havent been there sean and still waiting for an inlet manifold gasket as soon as i have that its going back on.

Al you can have the ones i have here if you want to get it sorted and keep the others for spears.

yer yer yer, bet i could do it in 5 mins, not going to though as al said he can do it 2.5 mins, so i'll leave him too it

looking good al, hope it all go together nice and easy for ya. Keep up the good work and hope the weather stays nice for you nothing worse than working with oil in the cold with blood driping from ya hands lol

This running yet al???

almost, engine turns over but no fire up, this was the last thing at the end of the day though, so we will investigate next week.

Chris is up to his usual tricks though

....and I didnt feel a thing

lmfbo

looks like he blew his load to early and all over himself, lol

ewwww too detailed lol

coz you are baggy

PMSL

ah i see chris upto his usual antics then!

well little update got the engine running today for a whole minute and then it died, if it didnt start chucking it own would still be on it.

Good news Al - always positive when it give you some encougagement like that

As for the rain though, I was on mine all yesterday afternoon, and I got no rain - must have been isolated to your mums

...are you sure all effects from the night before had worn off

any excuse to do as little as possible hey al

or perhaps the rain canopy that you use to collect rainwater to re-use was keeping you dry????

Right, this topic hasn't been updated for a while. And seems as though we made abit of a major break through I thought Tank ass al (with it being his car) would of made an update. So here goes.



Ehinge sucessfully transplanted, but for some reason she wasn't firing up right, and when we did manage to get it to turn over and hold an idle, it was a really poor one.

So after abit of investigation Al decided to try and reason with the ecu


















But the problem was narrowed down to nissans amazing Idea of using the same connector over and over again on the top of the engine, thus tricking us in to thinking that the idle valve bypass plug was an injecttor plug, when it wasn't.



SO we swapped them around with haste, and wayheyyyyyy, she's alive, but there seem's to be a problem with smoke now. We think the turbo's shagged. But on the other hand it could be some thing to do with all these missing bits ?

holy crap thats alot of bits

unfortunately I have been busy working unlike some. engines running ok but looks like turbos knackered

You get 51 weeks holiday a year

I know, and it take's 5 mins to make a post

Sorry al was ment to text back.

Havnt got a tubby sold my T25 a while back.

Some cheap ones on driftworks at the mo.

Dont worry mate thanks for the ecu! probably sourced a T28 just need to get some cash now!
