Two Easy 240sx Upgrades that Look SICK!

  • Rather minor "mods" if you even want to call them that, but I've been looking forward to getting Nicole some good brakes for a while now - end result looks great! I also finally installed my new valve cover from Colorado. FIRE SALE ON ZIP UPS AND PULLOVERS - LZMFG.COM
    Didn't mention it in this video, but I decided against CTSV calipers on her car because of fitment issues. Little did I know that Z32 calipers would have the same problem if not worse... You live and you learn!

    Regarding the loose studs... For some reason they don't fit well in those hubs (they are brand new studs). Alberto had tac welded them, but most of the tac welds broke. I have other hubs, but they're at the warehouse so I was planning on getting those another day!

      Adam LZ I was going to say "give it away, sign it," but then I remembered all of the weird broken or replaced parts I have for my car and how much I was told to get rid of them and didn't listen. Like how do I so easily get rid of the rock that say behind my driver's side headlight for 6 months until I got a new set of headlight assemblies..... True story, and my god was it a real talking point whenever I showed someone my car

      They sacrifice low end torque for high flow HP. I agree, but I'm actually trying to shift my power curve down lower - so much so that I'm actually going to go back to stock cams.

  • @noxious89123
    @noxious89123 7 лет назад +1

    You need to put the valve cover seal into the groove in the valve cover, if you just lay it on the head and put the cover on top there is a good chance the seal won't sit in the groove and will just be squashed or pinched; then you'll have an oil leak that could cause a fire. If it keeps falling out of the groove when you're fitting it, just use a few spots of sealant to stick it to the cover.

    should rebuild the q45 calipers. They don't look as nice as z32 but I can tell you from my car, rebuilt old q45 calipers all painted up look decent and stop awesome, just as good as z32 in terms of raw stopping force. Plus they fit with any wheels pretty much

    Lubricated threads transfer torque from rotational to clamping much better, so the 100ft lbs you put on the nut can act like 150 or 200 with lubrication. You can stretch studs much easier than you think and cause a failure.

  • @deadm00n40
    @deadm00n40 7 лет назад +6

    I think you mounted the rotors the wrong way. You have the right ones on the left side and the left ones on the right. The slices on the rotors should look like a sawblade. It's no big deal but just for next time.

    • @lukeduffy3730
      @lukeduffy3730 7 лет назад

      It all depends on the veins on the inside, you want the air (for cooling) to pull from the centre if it's on backwards it will cook the rotor because the veins won't pull the air through

    • @deadm00n40

  • @coltonolynyk4284
    @coltonolynyk4284 7 лет назад

    Regarding the anti seize on the wheel studs, you really should not put any form of lubrication on them because the oem torque specs are based off of a dry clean bolt. When you put anti seize on, it makes the bolt easier to turn and thus doesn't need as much torque to be tightened to the same degree. Over torquing of bolts can cause the metal to stretch, over time reducing its ability to be tightened properly, and in some cases causing the bolt to snap. Probably not a huge deal for slight amounts of over torquing but it is not common practice to do so.

    I'm all for spacers if they're safe. I run 2 1/2 inch spacers on my truck for over 2 years. Checking them once a month and have no issues. But non hub centric, non bolt on thread spacers are hella dangerous. That's sketchy for you Adam, but you take that risk. I'm shocked you'd put those on her car.

  • @ryancoughlin412
    @ryancoughlin412 7 лет назад

    PBM is probably the only manufacturer on the market who would advise that. While big boost isn't wrong about it assisting in a stuck wheel situation, or frozen lug situation, the thin amount of never seize used still throws off the clamping force rating that goes hand in hand with an OEM Torque specification. And here I was thinking this TIA certification was never going to be useful in conversation. 😅
