Message Ill keep it short because I'm still in a court battle over it. But I bought the car on August 22nd then a few days latter it over heated on my way home from school I was in a debate with my self to turn off the car and not let the turbo's cool or turn it off and keep the engine temp down... Well I let the turbo's cool and tried to get moving to get the air flowing. Turns out my fan clutch went the spring on the front of it was busted. The guy I bought the car off of has an HKS EVC 4 (older gen) and it was never set properly I went to calibrate it and I think everything went well till my peak boost was 5psi. My immedaiate thought was that I was in safty boost. Till this day even after spending 7 grand extra on a new engine installation and repairs there after because the engine was installed properly. I still have not seen high then 5 psi. On the boost controller or the stock gauge. Now it's somewhat disconnected because it's not getting any readings vacume or boost. I still havn't located the hose thats not plugged in or worse missing. The guy I bought it from paid for the engine. And on top of that Coast Motor Supply fucked up my car. The timing was set at 0 nothing was plugged in the proper location and my tranny bolts almost fell out. I met xtrm300zx on here and I figured he would know of a shop. He did and that was Precision Z they have done a fantastic job getting the car to where it is today. A while back I posted a video of my crankshaft moving in and out about half an inch. And when Coast Motor gave me back my car both times. My belts were loose and squeaked horribly it was so embarrasing. Now she runs the same way everyday. And so what if I only get 5psi right now and I get about 200 Miles to a tank now (before I got about 80 yes 80 miles on a 18.7 gallon tank) I have owned my car for six months the longest its been in my posession is 9 days. Now I can start enjoying my car even though its only runny 5psi I still love it no matter what I wouldn't have any other car. Feel free to flame because I was warned about Coast Motor by a tt.net member after I had the car towed there. I know I'm not the shinning example of a tt.net member. But give me a brake (pun intended) most 17 year olds would have givin up at this point, not me I'm a nissan enthusiast for life.....
