yesterday, i installed a freshly welded diff for the purpose of destroying everything in sight.
hit a couple local spots, about 3 min each within a 30 min timeframe, then got on the interstate and was losing crazy power, then car died. got it home, super low oil, car had plenty of oil in it when i went out that night, and i jsut had a new valve cover gasket put on cuz it was leaking bad b4. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS NOT HOOKT UP.

anyways, motor still idles now, not well, starts to knock slightly around 2500-3k rpm.

last night was my first night sliding a turbo 40, ive slid na ka for over 3 years and loved it. always dreamed of slidind ka-t. but i didnt have the best experience. LOTS OF SPINNING OUT. i dont know if its because i simply havent driven a turbo car before, or the fact that the pulsar t28 had to sharp of a torque curve, or is it the fact that i had no powersteering. I DONT KNOW, but i considered myself a pretty good drifter before last night.
now i suck and i fuct up the motor. sick life : )

any advice would be greeatly appreciated.

buy a CA long block for like $300, next time replace all the gaskets before beating the piss out of a 20 year old engine.

this is a great oppurtunity for someone to get a whole lotta shit for cheap and put a little $ into it, fix it, and have a badass little 240. my loss can be your gain i really don't have or want to put any more money into this car.
with a new block/and or new bearings and a boost controller, this setup will see 300 whp.

truthfully, i only bought this car a month ago to try to trade it to my friend jordan for my old vert back. i never wanted a ca powered car or a hatch. i really wanted my old car back

$300 on labor is a damned good price for repairs as long as it's done properly.

I've killed my fair share of CA's, but I love mine too much to think about leaving it behind.

i'd just fix it, 300 is a damn good price...

Seriously Jason, stop fucking blowing motors.

It's not hard to keep any nissan motor running.

And drifting a car is going to put abuse on your car, so you kinda have to expect shit to break.

Deal with it, or stop sliding.

CA = garbage

Fixed.
