Another terrible experience but a good outcome (bad frontclip sequel2) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

sepulchral · 02-12-2005, 06:53 AM

Went to NoyanUSA yesterday with my friend, we borrrowed a truck and dragged the bad front clip 2 hours up to Manassas Virginia (with a trailer). We get there right on time when they opened, at 10:00am, and they had a loading truck there. I was like "Ok they must be finishing up" I went inside and they were all scrambeling about, and one of the guys that work there said the truck driver came late and is picking up 45 motors (b16's,b18's,etc) for a sister company. I was like "ok shouldnt take them that long..."

Then he went on to saying that the night before they had gotten in 9 R33 RB25DET clips in, 3 clips per package (roughly 6,000lbs a package) and their forklift fried its clutch just trying to move the tremendous weight. So basically they now had to load the motors by hand. And for any of you who wanted to know their RB25 clips are $2900 So i was there from 10:00am until 2:00pm just to See my options as far as s13 front clips.

When i got out there they had the same clips they had before, i started every single one their and they all were (to me) not as up to spec as i wanted. Then my friend found a clip on the back that looked untouched, we started it and it ran like a GEM. I thought i'd call it a day, so i picked that one.

I had an inkling that the clip was there due to a wreck because the whole passenger side was caved in, so people, usually a clip from a wrecked car is the best thing to go for.

My clip had an HKS Air filter installed on 10/24/04 at 29,000km, that was like four or five months ago, so this car cant have more than 40,000km! It also had some kinda ghetto suspension and i found an APEXi N1 sticker in the glovebox. I hope it turns out to be great, wish me luck.

Also the truth about sr20dets from Noyan themselves:

"It is harder to find good running quality front clips now at an affordable price.." Noyan is slowly discontinuing sale of sr20det front clips

Good find, people are goign to start having to rebuild engines now. not bad imo, CA18 guys have been doing it for a while. Just gotta be more choosy... Glad you found a good one though.

thanks benny

Fastback180 · 02-12-2005, 09:13 AM

Good old Manasshole.

How are things lookin there back in my old home town?

Glad to hear you got a good find! They use to sell CA clips for $800 like 3 years ago. They were kinda iffy, but they got back on the rebound. E-mail me and let me know how the whole thing goes. Or when you're out there raping kids on the Midlothian Turnpike! :P

Here's my good find for the weekend...I got a Silvia for free!

Much thanks to my bro Dan_s13...And also for the Heinekens last night!

glad to hear everything worked out for you

Annoying Eric · 02-12-2005, 11:22 AM

I wouldnt want a clip with any sort of upgrade, because for all you know it could have been some kids car and he beat the piss out of it... But thats my opinion..

nissantuner22 · 02-12-2005, 11:43 AM

I'd prefer a stock motor, with stock oil filter, and stock air cleaner, and signs of up to date maintainance. My SR20DE motor had the OEM filter, OEM plugs, OEM aircleaner.

wouldn't it still be his opinion no matter where he originally got the opinion from.
yes it would be somebody elses opinion that he agrees with, therefore also making it his opinion. tell me again what the purpose of your post was? to start shit or something? grow up.

sepulchral · 02-12-2005, 06:55 PM

this is not a cone/mushroom filter this is a filter (piece of hks foam filling) for stock airbox. you cant judge a car was ragged to hell just from mods, my friend has a 400hp evo8 and he never even gets on it. you NEVER know unless motor shows the signs of early wear.

RedSuns · 02-14-2005, 07:56 AM

i have bought many motors and clips from noyan and never had any issues with them.

RSP13-Sideways · 02-14-2005, 03:25 PM

I said it before and I'll say it again........all of us in the US are getting the fish at the bottom of the barrell. Japan is running out of (S13 Red/Black) SR20DET's plain and simple....

how the hell did you start them?

did you bring in your own gas tank and pump?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 02-15-2005, 08:47 PM

My suggestion to people is....start buying automatic engines and 5 speed trannies. Far less abuse and theres still a gazillion of them out cuz nobody wants them. My boy in japan said that thats all he can find now a days in japan, shit-o-matics, no more 5 speeds.

G_Fish240 · 02-15-2005, 10:02 PM

yeah but then you have to find a 5 spd tranny and ecu
