skeet down skeet down
 
well i went to check the stock inlet... and some problems arose... that we will never go into so i have decided to just leave the car in pieces for a month or so till i can afford a inlet. dont worry all i jammed a microfiber towel into the hole on the turbo that the inlet goes too but skeet is down. more wheel time with the se-r is in my future lol...:hmmm:

dang bro that sucks...

bioevolve 01-31-2009 01:44 PM

DAng sorry to hear, hope it wasn't to bad.

babcockxmx 01-31-2009 03:17 PM

skeet what the problem is? I will send you my stocker to borrow if its something to do with the inlet. Pm me if you want

skeeter149 01-31-2009 03:20 PM

thanks all i am gonna stare at it for a while, look at the money situation and figure it out. thanks babs i will touch down with you if it goes that way but i think its either gonna be me putting on the thinking cap or finding money, thanks everyone for your support. this place rocks.

aaronc7 01-31-2009 03:27 PM

yeah llike cock said if you need an inlet to borrow let us know.

lol tell us what happened!

bioevolve 01-31-2009 03:29 PM

Inquiring minds would like to know.:toothache:

tagkat 01-31-2009 03:30 PM

No doubt what's up I can send you my stocker too!

skeeter149 01-31-2009 03:31 PM

uhh i dont wanna share makes me feel stupid.... and then the wife thinks less of me i think it can all be salvaged with a little finesse and work, but damnit i am beat. after the "incident" i spent twenty minutes cleaning my exhaust and waxing my rims to feel better. the car looks great, cant move but looks great. and damnit i think i got some of the battery acid on me. burning sensation for the loss. makes me feel bad for people with crabs or herpes lol.

babcockxmx 01-31-2009 03:34 PM

hahah crabs ftl

Well i wont mind sending you my stock inlet or whatever part you need to get that baby running. Cus even when you have the spare money to get an inlet you will have to wait and and who knows theres could be like a 3 week delay because of inlet demand. so just let me know man. but you have to tell me what happened tho haha

skeeter149 01-31-2009 03:36 PM

have faith all this isnt the first time i have messed up something, lol. i usually find something to get it right but it good to know you all are here and willing to help. makes me feel like family. well i am gonna use the se-r and give the speed a day to uhhhhh "reflect". tomorrow morning i will hop back to it and see if it cant work that mighty magic us car people do:)

for sure babs but hopefully i can salvage it. lol. this will go down as a big secret... it was one that started bad, breaking clips, found the inlet super loose, was gonna leave it alone then doh!!! i tried to finish and thats where she went south. :) it involves rubber and a hose clamp that dont like to be tightened or forced and then someone has to go and push em farther then they wanna go.:kidding:

babcockxmx 01-31-2009 03:42 PM

hahah ya my stock inlet jus fell off my turbo when i changed it. im sure you will work your skeet magic and fix her up

skeeter149 01-31-2009 04:26 PM

i hope so, or i could be like some people and get fed up and just sell the car for a 370z lol. dont ask why but i love that car, the stick has auto rev matching for your downshifts awesome. thay say its the first car to have that what do i know. anyway i want another nissan lol to go with my se-r.

superskaterxes 01-31-2009 09:29 PM

It wouldn't take but one random rock up in there somehow and that would be game over.

Hectik1 01-31-2009 11:37 PM

That sucks! Man sounds like most car projects. Doesn't it seem that more work is always needed when checking/replacing other parts. Way of the car world it seems.

Good luck!

Haltech 02-01-2009 08:52 AM

Sounds like Skeet broke the nipple off the stock inlet?

bova 02-01-2009 08:59 AM

that was going to be my guess

If that is the case, plastic weld works great!

:silly:

ptperformance 02-01-2009 04:53 PM

Damn, take care.

skeeter149 02-01-2009 07:40 PM

thanks all i didnt even look at the speed, i spent all day changing header out on my se-r. i changed the radio. found that it did indeed come with the pulley set i wanted and began changing the last two motor mounts. all in all a good day and i am so excited to be wrenching on something that wont break if you sneeze at it the mazda can wait. but thanks all and as i figure out more i will update.
