That's actually pretty nice. Need to measure the diameter of the cross bar..

For the IS I bought one from safedrives.com but it appears the one I bought is not currently available

How is the car coming along jwick??

If you are referring to the G

Currently in pieces again chasing a damn oil leak. Really hate AN swivel fittings.

Other than the oil leak its great. Runs good, makes a ton of power and sounds good. Got Mr. Gales pillar install last weekend. Waiting on my upgraded exhaust since my stillen turned out to be a bottleneck.

If you are referring to the Lexus, haven't touch it since last year. G took over priority. Maybe it'll be on the track for 2015

thereis a marine company that makes an automatic extinguisher for engine compartments, it has a polymer line and when flames burn the line it ruptures releasing the powder foam whatever. Sea-Fire Marine - FT Stinger Series, FM-200 Fire Extinguishers

This one?

AFFF systems aren't Halon. It's a foam with a powder in it, designed for putting out fuel fires. I'd much rather be covered in foam than stuck in a burning car.

Yea, that's it.. Where did you get it?

I saw that too and I want to do the same thing!

I saw it when it was posted a while back. I think valpozguy had a previous experience with some fire.

Well not saying I'm going to have any problems with my new fuel return system but there are a lot more parts and fittings. Better be safe than sorry. We need to get with that guy and find out where he bought his because I like the way it looks and the fitment..

Update: the motor is in!! Got it in last night so hopefully before the month is over I should be riding again... will shoot some pics later.

Pics?

Still in Jamaica, will be back friday. Will get some pics up then.. yeah Mon!!

Bought the extinguisher at target and painted it myself. Got the clamps at autozone it the Im a looser go fast parts section. lol

Alright ladies and gents, I'm BACK!!! Been trying to sell my house for a few months now and now have a cash offer so I am now forced to get my car up and going Fast... It's crazy since my little vacay to Jamaica since I've been back everything just seems to flow perfectly..... It's funny what a week long of listening to Bob Marley does to you. :tup::tup:

Don't forget the pot

Soon I will be refilling the coolant system and was considering doing a 75/25 water/antifreeze mix mainly due to fact that it really doesn't get that cold here. Anyone else running this mixture or close?

Should work fine. I've heard of guys up here that run the same mix with a bottle of water watter with no issues.

That was my goal. think I missed a little heavy on the antifreeze. we have very similar climates so go for it. Don't forget the water wetter

Motor, tranny, and most wiring in!!!!! :tup::tup::tup:

As of today I'm 97 % finished. Worked all day and made great progress. Will shoot some pics tomorrow...

Almost!!!!!!!!!!:happydance::happydance:

Looking good and hoping that it all works out in the end for you. I have been reading this thread and also the other one where the guy from FL blew his engine.

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing the results, I bet you can't wait to be up and running again.

I'm dying to drive my car again, especially since I can now run the max boost levels knowing the motor will hold the power... At the gulf for 4 nights so should finish it before next week is over. Thanks for the support..:tup:

I just picked up a set of nismo rims and could use a hand on spacers or no spacers..?? With my sport wheels I ran 25mm rear and 20mm front but I believe the off set is different on the nismo's..

NEVER run spacers!

Have ran spacers on everything I have ever owned and never had any issues...

Fortunate and a lot of people are in your boat. I happen to be in the group that will never consider spacers but I'm an engineer and can do the math of the impact.

ok, well maybe you should start a thread on wheel spacer safety.. lol

:p

So what we you engine break in procedure requirements?

Actually I'm planning on priming the fuel system and turning the motor over without actually starting it to lube the motor... Hell what do I know... lol

Start it for the first time and let it idle for about 20 min then drain the oil.. Do another oil change and do another in 500-600 miles... Of course using Nissan oil..

Hell, I do the turn over bit when I change oil and also when I installed the oil cooler. Why Nissan thinks 1500-1800 idle at start is a good idea is beyond me. Maybe we all should have a kill switch and crank them for 5- seconds before firing them. lol

New built motor, with new internal parts all working for the first time..

I tried that too after the turbo install but there was enough residual fuel in the line it fired up anyway

Planning on taking out the plugs and disconnecting the main wiring harness going to the fuel rail.. Hopefully it will not start by doing that... :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

There is nothing wrong with spacers as long as you use extended studs. Never use other kind. Just because you are an engineer doesn't mean much. I work with eight of them and I would not let them work on my mechanical ball point pen. I'm not saying you are not a good one but when ever I hear " Trust me I'm an engineer " I run the other way. Being smart is will keep you safe, and being stupid..... well we all know these kind of people.

I couldn't agree more but to each his own.. jwick is a good guy though. :tup:
