Mi Beardo es Loco · 07-11-2009, 01:04 AM

Holy crap! Since when has the High Desert had a thread on Zilvia? Hells yes son, I've been looking for somwhere to boast about mi caro without some redneck in a 96 lifted Silverado telling me how shitty my car is. Well....when it's actually on the road. I'm actually almost done after about 2 years and 15k later so it's actually coming along nicely. If my car is done I'll def be at the next meet. Just let me know where and when.

upsdude · 07-11-2009, 01:12 AM

hey do any of you high desert guys drive a (what looked to be) a black zenki with a kouki wing? looks like black primer to be exact...anyways i passed by him by victoria gardens on the 15 and he pulled up next to me a couple times and stuff...i tried to wave hi and nod but it was way to dark i think for him to see me

. For a second i thought i was going to be followed home

spooled240 · 07-12-2009, 12:10 PM

yeah that's probably steve aka cowboy...he's paul's brother from OSR, he's a cool guy and shows up to lowes once in a while.

upsdude · 07-12-2009, 05:54 PM

when do you guys go to lowes? and what's osr?

spooled240 · 07-12-2009, 06:34 PM

last time i was there was probably a month or so, it starts every friday night at 9...I would still go if my car was still running. OSR is a shop in hesperia that had a dyno day a few months back. They mostly specialize in jap cars and the sr20det.

Yellow4g63 · 07-12-2009, 08:58 PM

There is going to be another dyno day but it's mostly going to be a Tune day for 6 people.

spooled240 · 07-12-2009, 10:31 PM

well i'll be glad to check it out if my car is up and running by then =]

docrez · 07-15-2009, 09:47 AM

Injectors and ecu went in yesterday...and the bitch started right up. Idles a bit high. I need to make sure my timing is right. My only question is whether or not to cut out my HKS EIDS. Im not sure if it will make a difference wih the Wolfe ecu.

spooled240 · 07-16-2009, 12:48 AM

hm you can manually adjust your idle speed by turning an adjustment screw on your throttle body

AY PUTA JOSH...beeeezkneez why dont you answer you phone are you mad at me

hahaha

spooled240 · 07-17-2009, 12:02 AM

hahahah nah dude I've just been busy with work and working on my car..i can't do anything right now, it sucks. Sorry if I didn't return your calls I must've missed them while i was at work or something.

I'm trying to get my car up in two weeks, let's see if I can do it. If I find a local ka tranny for cheap i can probably get her done a lot quicker.

xsidewayzx · 07-17-2009, 12:05 AM

when you guys having another meet, i still need to go out there and meet you guys.

upsdude · 07-17-2009, 11:51 PM

So i happened to be by lowes tonight, had dinner at Mimi's cafe. I thought it was a spot for just the s-chassis ppl but it looked like there were a bunch of hondas and vato-mobiles. I would have stopped to have a closer look but my very pregnant wife wanted to go home.

xBtony · 07-18-2009, 03:02 PM

Whats a good place to meet in Victorville? Im trying to set up a meet with my xB homies but IDK where is a chill place..

upsdude · 07-18-2009, 04:17 PM

the jess ranch shopping center is the nicest spot i can think of...but it's in apple valley.

osrs13 · 07-18-2009, 04:50 PM

when is the meet up the hill

spooled240 · 07-18-2009, 08:11 PM

lowes meet: 99 percent common/boring crap...1 percent (on a good night) interesting/nice cars.

Thanks! I'll look into it

spooled240 · 07-19-2009, 01:12 AM

^you know that this is a nissan forum right? lol

docrez · 07-19-2009, 09:13 AM

So, the car ran like a beast for all of 2 days... then on my last day in the HD I went in BestBuy came out and no start AGAIN. This time no click. So i had it towed home where the bastard will sit and think about what she has done for the next 6months. I bet it fried this ecu too. I cant figure why. I guess I'll find out for sure what happened this January.

spooled240 · 07-19-2009, 10:30 AM

your car is being a bitch lol Sounds like a minor problem though like a bad connection somewhere. How are your battery terminals? Are they tight and clean?

cfinch · 07-19-2009, 11:45 AM

Sounds like you need a real mechanic lol...

Rly? No...Duh..I was jus tlookin fer info on a spot

spooled240 · 07-20-2009, 12:45 AM

^just checkin

my shortblock is done! Now I'm just waiting for my head and then everything else can go back on. I still have a lot to do but the progress is what counts.

i also picked up a s13 tranny for 100 bucks today just to spare me the PITA of rebuilding my old tranny so maybe I can get my car running within two weeks???

docrez · 07-20-2009, 07:20 PM

Yeah, definetly a bitch. Terminals are clean. My wife tells me she went back to the same Best Buy and parked in the same spot that i did in the 240, when she came out my tuck wouldnt start either... same symptoms. Although it turned out for her that the battery magically cam loose. Not the case with my bitch ass car.

jahrolla · 07-20-2009, 10:34 PM

ok guys i need some help with my 94 vert.. in the morning my car started fine with no problems. but when i came home and tried to start my car it would just crank over, so i gave it throttle and see if it will start.. sure enough it started and drives fine.. what you guys think the problem of my hard start??

spooled240 · 07-21-2009, 02:11 AM

a fuel related issue such as flooding or insufficient fuel pressure could cause a hard start. Or it could be an ignition issue, hard to tell really. You should do a tune up(new cap, rotor, plugs and plug wires) if your car hasn't had one in a while.

jahrolla · 07-21-2009, 10:51 AM

well i just replaced my wires and plugs with ngk iridium IX, ima change my cap a rotor today

LOUD240 · 07-27-2009, 07:29 PM

guess I have to give the HD thread a bump
MIKE-where the hell are ya?
Josh-ya done yet?
Chris-come on dude need some snappy comebacks
Jared-you drink tooooo damn much

jahrolla · 07-29-2009, 01:54 PM

hahaha i know i gotta quit soon...NOT! drinkin is my hobby and cars is my passion ahaha...
