Sloppy Mechanics

Before you come at me with the:

“Oh Wayne you worked so hard and meticulously on your car to make sure everything was golden grams and coccoa crispies, why would you do something so ghetto.”

The answer is simple, I fucking hate, and I mean hate. Dismantling the hot side of the engine, it seriously is the most tedious and retarded and curse ridden activity of working on my car. The swivel sockets needed to get 3 of the nuts off of the exhaust manifold, the other misc wrenches and retarded shit to get the turbo elbow arms off. The scratches and bruises from doing all of this in that small confined space. On top of the fact my AERO is now mounted so I don’t like putting my weight on it.

Seriously I wish I had bought another bottom mount turbo or a t28 when I had the money. But nooooooooooo I told myself I’ll save for a full race mani and a gt3076r, and lets be honest while. I fucking hate MAF as well, so I’m spending the cash to go MAP.

FUCK YOU MAFS!!!

in the gooch.

The moral of the story is, when you try to take a short cut in fixing stuff. You still have a gaping wound under the band aid, and band aids fall off.

W.E.

Lets review for the people who can't view the vimeo video at work.

I employed the help of my oven mit to deal with the hot running engine and checking our c clamp for stability.

This is how the c clamp was before I took the car out on a drive.

This is how it looked afterwards.

Wiring an S13 SR20DET up for an S14 (95-98)

If you've come here then you have decided to undertake the task of wiring up an s13sr20det motor for use in a 1995-1998 240sx. This isn't the end all guide or going to go over problem free for you if it's your first time wiring up an engine. But it will get you set on the right path. - Wayne Tips before you get started on buying stuff. make sure you only use adhesive heat shrink. Just so happens a strand of h/s I bought wasn't adhesive and the solder ended up corroding causing shorts/issues. I had to cut open the whole harness and replace all of the heat shrink to be sure.  Extra runs of wiring aren't really necessary to do this, you can use wires from your ka24de harness that are already color matched and the same gauge.  The s13sr20det harness can have about 3-4 inches removed from it behind the firewall (in car) but don't make any cuts until you know everything works, then shorten as desired.  If you break a plug/connector (use your brain a...

Just gonna do a random photodump and just chat about some things. Embedding some you tube shorts as well. I previously mentioned how I was going to upgrade to hid's and led corner lights and turn signals. But I also wanted to black everything out, light output at night shouldn't be affected. May be a bit harder to see things during the day but I'm not too worried about it. The oem stuff was already pretty hard to see during the day anyway as shown in the example below.  So here is the final result of the headlight and corner light tint, I still have my old oem signal markers in. I was waiting to pick up my led ones from paint as there just was no way I was going to be able to wrap them. Going to try and retain the ability to plug in oem stuff rather than discarding the wiring for strictly led items in case I need to replace anything with off the shelf parts.  This is the oem connector for the corner lights, I have my chassis harness sleeved and loomed in the engine bay and ...

RX330 Projectors, Dancing Led Signals, and Blackout Tint

This is going to be a three part blog of some sort. I had been traveling to the 240 tuesday meets which are about 60 miles away from me and I head home to a lot of freeway and road construction so I can't see a damn thing. Normally I've never had any issues with my halogen projectors on the kouki headlights. But I've always been curious about doing an HID swap.  After seeing Hugo's s14 with dancing leds on his Zenki I was curious about getting some done for my car. I've always wanted some kind of led lights, but clearcorners.com lights were just never in my budget even though Mike Mamos is an acquaintance. I don't ask for discounts at friends businesses, I spend money elsewhere like a true piece of shit. HAHA Hugo's S14 I really like the look of the blacked out headlights mainly because the led corners and turn signals are built in a manner where there is like a piece of tape that's put over the area where the oem light would sit and holes are poked in i...
