Well looks to be time for some injectors. On the dyno i was seeing 102% peak(90+*) Last night i was in the 70s and nice out,And it will be a good idea since i do plan on a FAST 92 and UDP soon.
Looks like ill be doing a trade with a local guy for a brand new set of SVO Green top 42's for some tuning.

A 92/92 setup would make this car an even bigger animal!

Man I still love that S15 front end conversion no matter how many times I see it. Great pics. What's up with the front edge of the drivers door? Chipped paint or early rust? Car's great btw.

Well after breaking a axle in the car a few weeks ago on the 1-2 shift we got the car back to the track last night.

She ran it for the first time ever the night i broke the axle and went 12.7@118.

Car really needs some suspension(currently blown coilovers lol)
Still a little timid on launching the car hard and snapping another axle.

All in all the car mph'ed very well and should really do well once we get the 60's down

Some updates here and there with the car
Installed a set SVO Green top 42lb injectors since the factory 2000 injectors were between 100-106% IDC.
Got rid of the old junk coilovers.
Did the Eibach kit and KYB Gas adjustable struts/shocks all around


Well before and after, top is coils bottom is new springs. Barely different except higher in the front

Car seems to ride a million times better.
Car also got a new set of tails


Hoping to get some more things done before TK2K but things aren't coming together like planned with a rear end. Plan was to ditch the 4.08 Rear end and get a 3.69 rear end and spray the car since the car is maxed out around 131 mph in 4th at 6,900-7,000 RPMs.

Might just end up doing a UDP and FAST 92/92 setup instead.

I'm guessing the stock 240sx rear is the same as the 300zx rear N/A. I will have 4.08's in mine only until I can fit a G35 rear to drop it down to 3.35.
