Resource Pit - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

misnomer · 02-01-2002, 12:24 AM

I was thinking today (very very traumatic experience, I don't recommend trying it), and had an idea (equally as traumatic, if not moreso). . .

Anyhow, we answer a lot of the same questions over and over again here on the forums, and I know a lot of you have taken pictures of installs and modifications you've done, so why not set up a repository for this information?

If you've done something nifty with your 240sx and have the urge, email me with a detailled description of your project, the process, and any pics you may have for it, as well as your final verdict. I'll piece them together and categorize them for browsing.

WeST: if you don't mind, I could borrow the zilvia.net layout and bundle the full deal for you to set up here, otherwise I can use my own scheme and drop it w/ my own ISP (#### port 80 blocking whores).

That said, reply with comments, and email some good info :-) It'll give me something to do in those coupla hours before I go to sleep. Mebbe I'll even spellcheck and check the grammar for ya :-)

I have always been up for stuff like this.

I just wish more people would document their install and then writeup something about there impressions and thoughts. But most reviews I get are VERY simple, some people send me some that are as detailed as....

Item: Injen Intake System
Thoughts: Very good intake system, helped alot with HP.

Now that dosent help anyone. So, as long as people will take some time and writeup a nice install doc/review I am always willing to put this stuff on the site, but only when its quality stuff.

Since I am changing the format of the website though I would reccomend just doing the writeups in Word or something simular then I can reformat them for the web.

THANKS FOR YOU HELP!

Ok , I am down guys , I could give you a very detailed parts list for 5 speed swaps. I also could give you my 240mm lightened Truck flywheel and clutch combo for Turbo setups. Thats it for me right now but more stuff is on the way because I am installing a my own design Turbo setup . I am also putting in Whiteline swaybars and bushings.

maybe just a giant FAQ? Where people can add comments, or provide links to old threads?

*Jeff240sx* · 02-01-2002, 01:04 PM

I think I have answered almost everyone's questions about the 300zx brake setup, and have done so on numerous posts.  This would help a lot of people, as I have found out, so, I could write up a step by step install of the 300zx brake swap for the fronts.  I neglected to take pictures, but I could take my rims off in no time and photograph everything I did.  
I am all for this idea, but someone needs to say when to send stuff in, and where to.

I was planning a FAQ Section as well. But I am having some sort of database created so I can manage and add stuff to it real ez.

If you have or will soon have any writeups for the site please email them to me @ [email protected] or [email protected], send stuff anytime. Anyone can drop me emails about anything anytime. If you have an idea then please share.

THANKS!

I plan on making very detailed installs of the following:

1.  Import Intelligence gauge overlays / hyper white bulbs / intelliglow needle kit on an S13

2.  Interior makeover on S13

3.  Honda S2000 pushbutton starter install on S13

4.  Ashtray replacement thingy (S13) (if I can find another console to test a new theory to make it better)

and whatever else I think of..  I have pics of everything that I've installed I just need to get motivated <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

misnomer · 02-01-2002, 11:00 PM

Yeah, uh, do what West said <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> Stop talking and start writing. I don't see you writing yet. Who are you trying to fool, START WRITING!!

*DSC* · 02-01-2002, 11:04 PM

Well, since there aren't very many people here with whiteline sway bars, I'm takein lots of pics and will write something up on the install of those. Not a very complex install but, hard enough for it to be worth writing about.

Archangel · 02-02-2002, 01:59 AM

When I finally get my STB's in I gladly do a write-up on the install on an s14.  I know its a pretty simple install, but the rear bars can be tricky.  I'll take alot of pics.

vancouvers14 · 02-02-2002, 03:04 AM

hey dsc, can you send me ([email protected]) some install tips?
