what did you do to your s12 today?!

Im having separation anxiety from my notch (lol) so just curious as to what some of you did to your babies today?
post pics if you can...if its..ummmm....glorious enough(lol).

im aquiring parts for mine slowly, no peeks "yet"

i removed what i could of what was left of my sound deadening glue...which wasnt very much, and then i painted my floor pan gunmetal duplicolor.

Drove it to work, same as every day. Almost out of gas, light is on. Also been using remote start in the mornings, it's cold.

Just a little more fine tuning on MegaSquirt, and trying to figure out why my fuel pump keeps cutting off (I think it's the fuse).

been thinking about working on mine for the last hour. I think i will make it out to the garage and work on finishing the engine bay

ive retired the vert for the winter, so the s12 is back on daily driving duty.

did this to it this weekend.




in other s12 news,

this today

^ what are those lines..i mean who are they by lol.

I drove mine...
And noticed there's something wrong with it's clutch... It's fluid is BLACK... and it's only 2 months old.
Suppose... Should start changing the clutch fluid every other track session. rather than every three

I  looked at my s12 today. may be I will drive it again soon. na then it would get dirty. I will just look at it for now.

Drove it to and from class, reattached louvres.
yesterday, i found i could drift it.

I pulled the dizzy, radiator, and coil off of my parts 240 and put them on my ka patiently sitting in my s12. It only needs exhaust and she'll be ready to come off the jacks... there's been talk of a side pipe

(Insert thoughts here)

side pipe....eh.

Went to work, ran my road, went and talked to the shop about sponsorship some more, picked up dinner, and came home. Going to try to change the top ka timing chain/tensioner on tuesday and remove the other useless top guide....thank you nissan for making useless stuff i dont need and putting it on my engine for future tossing into the garbage.

Today marks the first day of disassembly of old blue, our blue se parts car.  More info and thread coming to a forum near you..

changed oil which was long overdue. While changing oil crushed the old oil filter because it decided it wanted to stay on the motor finally got it off and heaved it into the mighty mississippi (yes from vegas I was pissed!) advanced the timing because it was really retarded because iggy and myself didn't know why it was off so much (think it's the wire not reading it right) but the car has more power and is waaaaay smoother up top and down low also boost kicks in in sooner as well. Still need to fix this pesky oil leak problem it is really annoying...

maxpow, have you changed your fuel filter or checked your fuel pressure? Your problems strangely sound fuel related to me as you have given your spark plenty of attention.

I corrected my exhaust today, made the muffler look less retarded and more stock looking.
It was sticking out way past the bumper and out the side, because I was lazy when I put the new muffler on. :lol:

I also resurfaced the flange mating surfaces, so it's not leaking like crazy either.
I didn't get around to putting in the cutout though

They are super reliable and will run with alot of stuff wrong.

Gutted the parts car, all that's left is the drive train, it will be out tomorrow along with the suspension and off to the scrapper.

powar steering finally!

hotdoghogie on 01:32:41 AM / 08-Nov-10you guys are really starting to scare me with the 20e horror stories... i needs mine to not blow up.
:(

They're only stout because they're so gutless they don't have the power to break themselves.
the 20e is a reliable motor. It's just a terrible motor at the same time. I hate it with the flaming passion of a quadrillion suns.

Oh, and I put a little air in my tire today... That was what I did to my S12

i went to oregon...it was pissing rain and blowing sideways....could hardly step on the gas it was standing water in some parts.

i set off 2 car alarms just cruising down my street on my way to school, and i called her a dirty whore

got in it drove it to buy a 30pk of miller and came back home and parked it.

30pk of miller to help with "fine tuning" my ride height and stance aspects today......... maybe moar lowar????

Replaced broken amber fog lenses with clear ones. Taped em to at least keep the lenses together if they shatter again. Did the same for the headlights.

Put my illuminated license plate back need to pick up some 194 bulbs with green filters since i cant have any other colour up front per the county.

i went around tryin to bate people to race but nobody wanted any of the black widow :(

I reconnected a bunch of little vacuum hoses the previous owner disconnected for no apparent reason.  before it ran horrible...now its actually starting to show signs of life!

^fail, did you at least get the bee?

Colonel Gustard on 10:22:40 PM / 10-Nov-10^fail, did you at least get the bee?

I put my clutch switch back in (not the one for the starter interlock), so now my launch control works in Megasquirt again.

Rebuilt a t3t4 ball bearing turbonetics turbo with a stage 3 48 turbine for my vg.

Pulling motors is enjoyable ^^  :)

Pulled a motor and started stripping down a parts car the other day.  Finished it off by taking out the last parts, like the front subframe all the way down to the gas tank.  Tomorrow he takes the walk down the green mile...   You're my boy Blue!
