installed a new walbro, so glad Z-Fever had one in stock. AFR`s now are done where they should be. At 14psi i`m seeing 11.1-11.3 a/f and it pulls beautifully all the way to redline. Need some wider and stickier rear tires.
Think I will take it to BMP this Sat night and see where its at. I have to say I am really enjoying the car.

Finally got around to getting it up on jack stands and adjusting the rear hight and camber. Tires are sitting more flat now.
Also changed the tranny and engine oil while it was off the ground.
Put some Amsoil synthetic 75w90 in the tranny and Amsoil synthetic 10w30 high zinc in the engine.
Tranny shifts a little smoother when cold now.

So I finally got around to getting rid if the 225`s that came on the rear and put some 275/30/19`s on.
I also had the car aligned to get rid of the stance thing going on that had the car riding on the inside of the tires. Camber and toe were off.
After getting the tires sitting flat I realized i did not need the wheel spacers so I got rid of them. Car looks much better now and rides so much better.

new rear tires


Getting very badly need alignment. It was so far off.

I went up alittle to much. Had to raise it to stop the new tires from rubbing on every little bump.
I'm going to try bringing it back down some.
I am liking these new tires so far. Much better traction now.

No. It had a 6speed but it broke. I was told the 6 speed is week so it has a 5speed from a S14 SR in it which if I understand correctly is the same as a KA 5 speed from a regular 98 240sx.
If the 5 speed gives me trouble I may go to a Z32 tranny.

Just a word of advice, I believe you have BC racing coilovers, which isn't the same as Brian Crower. lol I believe all Brian crower does is motor parts, but I could be wrong.
