First off, that's one badass looking car, second you are running rly low, I'm guessing there aren't many potholes in your area lol, and third, I am so going to drive around without a hood!!!

If there is coolant coming out the hole in the top of the water pump thats a VERY good indication for water pump replacement...On my KA the reason i kept getting low on Power Steering was because of one Screw Clamp just run the hoses with your fingers and see if you can find a loose one

Im running tein flex coilovers... the low stance is just for looks, i will raise it up for our shitty ass Indiana roads. the rims i bought off ebay for $400 for the set brand new... they are made by american racing..but some lower brand of a/r. Well... the car wont be red for very long...thats why the engine compartment is black.. the whole car will be black(s13 fastbacks look best black :grinyes: ) i also plan to get wheel adapters to space them out about an inch so that they are flush with the fenders. safc could solve my running rich problem...but what about the misfire?

the misfire could be coming from running to rich also...just to let you know

MAF sensor or boost leak

Sweet looking. Check out the plugs/gap for the misfiring also. I always end up having an ignition problem when misfires occur.

lol, your battery area looks all cluttered up.haha You should just relocate the battery. Makes stuff so much easier. Are you running an upgraded fuel pump?

bah...i can clean up the battery area just fine.. youll see... boost leak is very possible...i timed it at 15btdc...runs better.. but still spits at anything above 1psi...just took the car out in a parking lot... wow it gets sideways soooo easy.. cant wait till it runs good!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol2: :lol2:

ya... thanks... its pretty much stock on the outside except for the stance and wheels... oh ya and the RED PAINTED CALIPERS!!! YA!!! i cant wait to see it black....im thinkin i may leave it red to learn the whole drifting process.. then paint it... but anyway.. my car is all about GO not show...

I will have to agree with you about the go, but show can make the difference. Cars BADASS DUDE can't wait til i start moding. So by all go and no show does that mean your never going to get it looking tits or are you planning to make it look good when your done with the engine, supsension and exhaust mods?

i have a 71 camaro...which is my show car. my nissan is my beater toy... i will take out all of my driving agressions on the nissan, so hopefully i dont drive my other cars hard(if i still do..then i have a problem)...if drifting gets big here or i go where its big, i will make it look good for the crowds :sunglasse being black with dark tinted windows will be good enough for a while
