So I've started to do some cleaning up as the car is still down. Started working on the cooling system. Changing hoses and actually doing what I paid for with the civic. Just hoping that it's not as bad seeing that I've had no leaks and currently have a bone dry block. Should be fun. My only...
According to Wikipedia,
"A back-fire or backfire is an explosion produced by a running internal combustion engine that occurs in the induction system rather than inside the combustion chamber. Unburned fuel or hydrocarbons ignited from a slower burning, lean fuel air mixture that is still...
Okay so I've some good news and bad news.
Good news is that the car starts now and can idle.
Bad news is that the car is backfiring and cuts off when rpm is raised.
Almost everywhere that I look for information says timing (improper firing order) and the fact that it's doing so out the intake...
alright fine, so some people have stuff on point. my little secret is how i use my two products for it all. Simple green has a dilution of 1-10 and so does purple blast. what i've done is make a gel suitable for use on paint and metal alike (with or without clearcoat) that won't strip. i use 1...
Alright so we all have our favourite car wash products that we turn to when our fabulous ride gets dirty. We also have our secret to that almost showroom clean that has everyone wondering "how you do that soldier?"
Well I'll share my products first. I usually go for Simple Green Car Wash...
Depends on your budget to begin with lol. But as far as I can tell there are quite a few places popping up that I myself haven't tried. But as I go out more I shall try them and get back to you. Easiest place for me is on the cross. Grab a gyro and lime in the car.
Yes the mix works on all metallic surfaces. But be careful as I said of the mixture drying on it. And the supreme shine cost me I believe around $40-$50
As far as an interior dressing i find that this works wonders

MEGUIAR'S SUPREME SHINE? PROTECTANT
So far I've had one application last 3 weeks on the interior of my car and 2 weeks on my tires even after cleaning...
Ok so i can actually say how to use the mix for your advantage. You would need one part purple blast, one part simple green car wash concentrate and two to four parts water, depending on how diluted you want it. I personally use two parts water as i want a gel like spray. Can say how it works...
Re: Nissan CA18 woes

Well I've heard quite a few. For most people their first car is always betsy. Not my choice for a name. My friends named my last two cars, toya and Vicki. Haven't gotten a name for this one yet though
Still digging inside the car and found a consult port in the dash behind the kick panel. That means of can read and write to my ecu, which means I just need to get someone with a consult tool to scan the car and see what values are wrong and hopefully we can get it sorted without a swap. The...
here's my afternoon check as i don't have time on a morning. coolant, brake fluid, engine oil, transmission oil, washer fluid, scratches/dents, lights. check tire pressure once a week or when i hit the gas station to fill up.
So my options to get my car on the road are as follows
Ca16 engine complete (can keep my current setup)
A replacement Ca18i with harness and ecu
Sr18/20 with cable type gearbox or hydraulic manual conversion
Qg18 complete with hydraulic manual conversion
OR
Full auto conversion for any of...
Haven't posted in a while. Have started to go into the car myself. Found the ecu but haven't taken it out yet. When some more progress is made I'll let you guys know
