I met a guy at james' shop a couple of weeks ago who has an F-Max powered classic and a G20, i cant remember his name though, the way he was describing his car, he would be a good friend to have

i think you are talking about Jon Hall (sp). he is the previous owner of the white se-r at TPM which i bought. i just bought the 3 inch exhaust from him (which USED to be on the car anyways, wth do i have to pay more to put it back ON the car?!) Anyways, how is everyone doing? i dont think ive met every one of yall on the Texas List. im Hien.

yeah hien, thats the one, he seemed like a solid guy..... man you beat me to that exhaust, that was one hell of a deal!!

Hien-eken · 01-21-2002, 04:00 AM

hahaha... yeah the exhaust is pretty huge and it has nice mandrel bends (rubbing it in). im not using the borla muffler though.. so any of you are welcome to it. i know im not the only one going turbo....my turbo is coming in monday hopefully so i'll keep you guys updated.

I was just wondering how it is down there in corpus? I used to live in kingsville and last time i was out there the euro cars barley started to catch on. It was mainly trucks. Any who peace out

Corpus Is mostly Mustangs. but there are a few Imports down there. A 300Z thats pretty quick, Shawn with his turbo miata, Lots of Honda/Acura. Jerm with his RX7, John Has the FMAX sentra but I don't think its ready yet. At one time there was a guy with an NX2K also Steve had his car at Fmax but some bad stuff went down.

Turbo91SER · 01-22-2002, 07:58 PM

Yep, it's me..... there is no scene in Corpus, so don't even waste your time..... My motor is sitting on a stand waiting for an oil pickup......... has been since August........ I did pick up my valve cover and some other stuff for Jody from the powder coating Monday......LOL......... maybe it will all be done one day.

QuickZeek · 01-23-2002, 09:12 AM

Yeah but Jon I'll still have you for longest project.

its been over 2 years and counting.

at least im only counting the days now.

Turbo91SER · 01-23-2002, 10:10 AM

Yeah, but it sucks that I am waiting on a $25.00 part for almost 6 months now. It's not that the money has ever been an issue, just a parts availability.

QuickZeek · 01-23-2002, 10:37 AM

Time to find a new supplier

Turbo91SER · 01-23-2002, 01:08 PM

Dwayne,
I guess I need to, I am only working on like number 6 I think it is. Any suggestions?

QuickZeek · 01-23-2002, 01:18 PM

Oil pickup for your turbo?

Where are you getting the oil from near the Oil filter
or is it a DET and your getting it from the front 12x1.25 threaded
oil hole. Im using an adaptor for a Carborator with two reducers
to neck it down to -3 an. all I wanted was a -3 an fitting to a 12x1.25 thread pattern. but this should work fine. the adapter goes up to -6 so i have to step it down twice -6 -> -4 -> -3.

Turbo91SER · 01-23-2002, 01:26 PM

I am needing the pick-up that picks the oil up out of the pan... the one that bolts to the timing cover.

QuickZeek · 01-23-2002, 01:47 PM

OH, well then none of the Dealers have anything?

Get if from a Junk yard or somthing.

Turbo91SER · 01-23-2002, 01:54 PM

Dwayne,
I'm not trying to be rude or anything but everyone says they can order it and all of the people I have talked to don't have any junk GTi-R motors.... If you can help in any way it wouldbe greatly appreciated....... but then again, I know your still scared of getting your ass whipped too......LOL

NX$paniard · 01-23-2002, 01:58 PM

have you dealt with the nissan guys at www.mag-auto.com
ive bought some stock parts from them, they seem fairly organized...and its wholesale prices...

QuickZeek · 01-23-2002, 02:00 PM

LOL Why does it need to be from a GTi-R, you don't have a GTi-R motor do you? Why not from a DE or a BB DET. You arel talking about a Oil pick-up for a turbo? or for somthing else.

And we shall see.....but i'll be glad to bring the NX down and show your bucket of bolts how to run.

Turbo91SER · 01-23-2002, 02:06 PM

Dwayne,
I am doing a different front cover with a high volume oil pump which requires an oil pick-up and crank pulley off of the GTi-R.

Yep, you got that right, Bucket-O-Bolts.
We'll see Dwayne.
