Thanks guys. Should have it back together when I get a new head gasket. could take a while if Greg doesn't have one in stock.

Did you notice a loss of oil pressure? did it happen during a pull?

Did you hear the bearings knock? If not, you are probably ok. I ran an SR20 dry of oil a few years back and it took about 20 mil...

I've run my car on a course for 20min sessions. You get about 15 laps in that time. I didn't have any failures, and the intercooler didn't seem to get too hot. The engine never overheated with the ...

I can't believe the valve seat and the valve are completely unscathed! I'm feeling really good right now. Just put the cams back in, pulled the valves open. Inspected the seating of the valve. Ever...

Ok guys, I must be the luckiest-unlucky mother f*r out there. I pulled the head off with the engine still in the car. It went pretty smooth actually. Only took a couple hours of me hunched over. Bu...

Yeah, it is a stock VE TB.

What happened?

WTF man. First my TB screw gets swallowed, now Ashton's car got messed. Man, I'm so disappointed. I've been depressed for the last week, this tops it. Sucks.

I couldn't get the screws out to locktite them. I was banging on the TB with an impact driver trying to get the screws out. Instead, I just stripped the screws a bit, and rather risk bending the TB...

Yeah, it's bullsh**. I can't believe it worked itself loose. I tried an impact driver to remove the screws and they wouldn't come out. So I used some glue to hold them in there, just in case. The h...

The engine swallowed a throttle body screw. Add another SR death to the list. The piston is fucked. The turbine on the brand new turbo is the next up for inspection. Which, if damaged, will result ...

I'd buy it on day one. ^^^

I am going to keep her for now. Fix some things, and come back stronger than ever. Each time I dig into this car, it gets a little bit better. Wish me luck on this new endeavor fellas.

I have reservations about the boxer engine. I would like to see how it will respond to mods. If it can respond even half as well as the hondas, then it will be a great motor. But having a chassis t...

If Nissan could get their act together and offer us a lightweight, small compact, silvia that has back seats for small kids... around 200whp and turbo.... then sign me up. And if they make it one l...

I will fix her up. Make her better... again. And see what I can come up with to reignite the romance lol. We really are like an old couple, we hardly ever fool around anymore heh heh.

I am sad the...

I'm in Utah. Yearly inspections for emissions and maintenance.

My wife doesn't think I will sell it, and she's probably right. But these little setbacks keep me from enjoying the car, or being able to rely on it. It would be different if I didn't have to pass ...

Ya, I didn't check the TB screw. I will probably see it when I pull the head off. I don't think it came loose though because I glued them in place. I will be fixing the head though. I will let you ...

I still have a bit of student loans to pay off. So I think 8K is a good price. The car books at 3800 I think. Given it has new cams, turbo etc. It wouldn't be cheap to buy. But then again, anyone w...

Thats true man. I could make at least 10k parting it out. At least, then I could sell the shell off for cheap. I just don't think I could bear to see this car taken apart.

to most people, a car is...

Of course, I would have a fresh built head. The car would be ready to roll. I may lower the rev limit to 8500rpm and everything would stay intact.

Or i could part it out. Sell everything individu...

How much is a super sentra?

Check out my ride yo.

I have a spare head here. I'm gonna tear into it when I get time. Shouldn't be too expensive to fix, considering what's into the car. It pains me to see this car down, especially this time of year....
