Found this by my car leaving work the other day.

It's a sign... Black Money may be going away at the end of this year... Got a lot of work to do on the engine bay of Simone before I commit to a complete color change. Exterior is easy, the engine bay needs some tlc.

I also have a video and some door maintenance stuff I'm going to post up pretty soon, I've just been too lazy to edit the video from my camera. I fixed the door for the most part, but I won't get too involved with that at the moment since it will be out of context.

Similar color, but darker green. 
I know a few people have already done this paint job already, and I've had a teal car before. I think it's just a really awesome color.

I think Jowe Lee also was painting his lexus is300 this color but that car seemed to fall off the face of the earth, wonder what happened there. http://itzjow3.com/category/2k3-lexus-is300/



After some more digging I found out the color is Verde Artemis... it also has a HOK candy added to it, so when I finally commit to this paint color, it has to be protected, no excuses. Candy is almost impossible to paint match if I fuck up the bumper again.

So I will also be modifying my vertex bumper heavily to ditch the integrated diffuser and build one of my own that mounts to a front bumper cage. The front bumper will no longer mount to the fenders in any way shape or form, this includes a quick release front end to make it easier to work on without removing the headlights.

So your kouki tail lamps are faded? You want to fix them. Well that's good!

THATS REAL GOOD OEM s14 tail lamps in all their glory. This as dark as they come. They're painted on the inside.  Many of you out there know the struggle, zenki owners who want to upgrade to kouki tails, kouki owners who went from black to whack. That the kouki tail lamps fade over time, they're such a timeless and simple upgrade.  In my personal opinion they're the 1999 civic type R headlight of the 1996-1998 Nissan 240sx. I could go into a whole segway about the differences in references for newer and older parts we use over here and how things are described. But in short Zenki refers to a first gen design of a car model and Kouki refers to a later model so you have an idea why I am calling them Kouki tail lights rather than 1997-1998 tail lamps. There is nothing JDM about these, they're not an exclusive part, anyone who refers to them as jdm is a fucking idiot. MS PAINT KING!!!  Anyway, I mentioned in my previous entry that I was going to get these...

S14 Digital Climate Control 2022 Redux

Introduction  Hello,  So you wanna install one of these. I'll try to be the voice of reason in 2022 and tell you it's probably not even worth it. 10-15 years ago, heck yeah go for it.  But if you're insistent like myself, I'll give you all of the tools needed to get the job done.  It's been a while since I've installed this. 12 years in fact. I've contemplated making youtube videos but to be honest I am ungodly lazy. This blog post at this point is more of a diary for me as well as a how-to because if I ever have to troubleshoot this crap again I know that I've unnecessarily over-documented this install for the final time.  I will say that, I originally followed the write up here:  chuonthis s14 dcc write-up  I don't want to plagiarize and flat out copy the write up, but I'm going to stage the information very similarly.  I have it available in PDF format and have uploaded it here in case their website ever goes down. I recommend saving that....

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...
