: newbie finally begins to mod his classic

hello everyone. i am pretty new here. ive been around for a little while reading a lot of posts and researching. i have started to start modding my se-r a little more now so i will now make myself known to everyone.

today i succesfully installed my hotshot header. and i love it. took around 5 hours. we did run into some problems. we could not get the cat off the secondary because it was so rusted. solution: i just got a straight pipe put on until i get a new cat. does anyone have any suggestions.

i also ordered a new JWT pressure plate, flywheel, and a B15 disc that my uncle and i will install on saturday when we put on new axles(i should have changed the cv boots earlier)

this week i also have been working on a system for my car. nothing big, just a set of infinity kappas components in the front and rear with an eclipse amp running those and 1 12" solobaric with a directed amp running that. i originally bought this stuff for my maxima, but since the bose is working so well, ill put in this car. i have another solobaric 12" L7 if anyone wants it $250 is what i paid if anyone wants to give me that for it.

just wanted to say thanks to this forum for teaching me a lot so far about my classic. hopefully i will install cams when my brother (Antonio G) comes back home for christmas. he got me into this car so i count on him for help when i need it. i will need help for cams.

in terms of cats, i believe a bunch of people here have gone with the catco free-flow cat. you might want to make a separate post about it.

good to see another se-r is being put to good use instead of a pizza delivery car ;)

Good choice. When you put the axles in you may want to replace the axle seals.

You will love the JWT B15 combo!

Make sure you break in that clutch right! :)

Anyone down for a little freezing mini-geekout? If Laly gets his cams shipped in time, I will be helping him install S3s in his motor, so if anyone wants to learn, I'd be willing to show them.

Yeah, I'm here now...

My brother got the cams, but he needs to order a valve cover gasket. When we get that, the install will be on. PM me w/ your name and phone number and we'll get in touch.

Laters,

Antonio

You should destroy that Civic EX stock! :)

Well, we're still waiting for our parts to show up to do cams. Most likely Monday will be Camday. And then I leave on Tuesday back to the Bay Area...damn I will miss Chicago. :(

Yeah, so it is done. Laly is now the proud owner of a S3'ed 92 SE-R. Big thanks to B13SentraXE to coming out and hanging with us while we did the install. I think I'm getting pretty good at these cam installs now. ;)

Leaving tomorrow for the Bay...will miss Chicago terribly...

Aww shucks. :p

No problem guys, whenever you're gonna do something give me a call. Hey Laly, has the power kicked in yet? I found this pic, it's basically gonna be your car when you're done ( i.e. rims, tsuru kit).
Check it out. http://www.nissanhawaii.com/galleries/HawaiiRaceway/pages/HRW048.htm
Almost forgot, thanks AntonioG for bringing my timing up to spec (and checking eveything else out too).

well me, my bro, and B13SentraXE had a good time today doing the S3 cam install. i broke in the cams and took it to dody rd. OMG does this car rip between 5k-7k rpm. i am very happy with my se-r and found a new found love for it. the mod bug has bitten me and the bite still itches because i want more. :D

B13SentraXE, thanks for the pic and for coming out today. hopefully i can the tsuru conversion on soon. that is exactly how my car will look when im through. but i think my paint job savings fund has officially changed to the nitrous savings fund. i might settle for just painting the grill and the new bumper i plan to get.

i have done a lot of work on this car in the past month or so. i am very satisfied with doing the work by myself or with a friend. having a great time with my se-r. thanks to the forum for providing me with a lot of info. ive learned alot from this site.

i know i cant hang with the turbo boys, but i am very please with my N/A beast. now to look for prey.

happy new year everybody.
