Sounds reasonable... I have a thrupipe instead of a cat, so I can see how this would be normal. I just wanted to make certain before I buy a wideband O2 and new plugs that I wouldn't foul them quickly if something was wrong.I AM losing coolant, but I think I have a small leak... plus I have...

Hey all,It's been awhile since I've even touched my 98 Eclipse Spyder, but it's now time to resume my project. I stopped work on it after I completed my AWD swap becasue I parked it on the street the DAY I finished it... and it was crushed by a garbage truck:I've FINALLY fixed it... by...

I can't exactly lie and say it's a rare AWD Spyder... since there is no GSX Spyder and thus conveys no actual value in the eyes of the law. What I have to do is have it appraised as property, not necissarily as a car that's being driven. I have to account for the purchase of parts, personal...

I have not found a competent adjuster yet and have not contacted my lawyer, but I have gotten a statement from RRE and have found an advocate who knows people who work in high places in the city. All I want is for them to double their offer. $12k is reasonable.My car was not insured for the...

Wow. I didn't know that this was moved to a completely new thread. Nor did I know that there were so many replies.Here's the lowdown: City offered $6100. Minus $1100 for the car salvage buyback.So, I'm up sh1t creek.So, here's what I think I'm going to do.1) Retain counsel. I had one...

I can't fuukking believe it.:barf: :barf:This is what happened to my all wheel drive swapped Spyder. It was parked in front of my house. The city offered me $6000 totaled.Does anyone know how to fight this? How can I get more money for my labor and parts? They can't just give me the...

Thanks!Yes, I priced that out at IPT when I got the VB/SK. I don't want the eBay kit because I am more than capable of doing it myself and saving the $. Same reason I don't by any other "kit" on eBay. I just need the info.

Also, the link:http://www.rmtmods.caDoes not work... just so you guys don't send me there.

Hey all!I have a 98 Spyder converted to AWD auto that is my wife's favorite car. Every car I own, except the Eclipse is manual. I just like the control it gives and the power that manuals can handle (especially my Nissans) without supporting mods. I have pulled out 3 autos in my Nissans...

Not I. I really, really want this fixed. I can't seem to find a wiring error... just the end-problem.

It is time to replace my shocks and springs on my AWD Spyder. The GSX shocks have been blown since the install (I got all the parts for $400), but I am just now getting to replacing them.My wife doesn't want to drop it at all, but I want a good, adjustable performance combo. No more than...

This is EXACTLY what my problem is. However, the gauge stays on empty for a long time before the fuel light comes on.It's a big deal to my wife and therefore to me. She wants the ultimate Eclipse. So thats what I'm building... Gotta iron out those flaws!AWD owns me. I admit it. I...

I am also HUGELY interested in a fuel tank wiring diagram with verified fuel gauge operation. I have the same problem as mentioned by 99gst_racer using his diagram. Can someone give a little insight please? My wife won't even drive it until the fuel gauge works... go figure.

I was just trying to maximize the engine as much as possible since I'm going to be building it from scratch. I figured I would ask to see if it had been done before. I'm researching rod/piston combos and thought it was highly probable that I could get up to the 2.6L volume with the right crank...

Well, my recent AWD Spyder conversion is treating us (and by us, I mean my wife) extremely well. So well, in fact, that my wife is letting me build a 2.4L block. So, yay for me.I'm likely going to source a G4CS sometime in April and start. I would want to just go all out on this build, as...

So, I just put my AWD Spyder on the ground on Wednesday. It runs and drives great! It's a little creaky in the rear, but I'm installing a roll bar this weekend to stiffen up and relieve the torsional stress.Anyway, I have a few questions for those who have done this swap:My fuel gauge...

I have 4 sensors (3 actually, and one plug) that need a quick ID. Can anyone tell me if they are a necessity or if they can be completely removed from the harness? I know one is a pressure sensor that was on the stick intake manifold. The other 2 I do not know. The non-sensor I know is...

1> Can you rebuild the engine yourself?2> How much do you know about turbos and tuning?

I've had a MAFT + AVCR + SAFC + 3.5" MAF on my wife's Spyder for a few weeks now. All it gives me as far as the indicator lights is a dark green light and a blinking red light. The red light blinks twice... then goes dark.... then blinks twice etc.... I get nothing on the green light. I have...

Hey! I've got a qustion (of course). We just put the 7 bolt out of my wife's wrecked 2nd gen into her new 2nd gen, They are both GS-T Spyders. The car was hit from behind, and had no front end damage. After everything was in, we tried starting the car and got nothing. The engine didnt turn...

Well, here we go. We just snagged a 99 GST Spyder pretty cheaply. We had an old 98 GST Spyder that was totaled from behind. We are in the process of swapping all the mods from the old car to the new one... and install some upgrades that were meant for the old car.The car has 135,000 miles...

First... It HAS to be a Spyder. No leeway there.Second... WE ARE getting a GSX drivetrain swap... that's why I don't need suggestions on building the tranny. I DO need it to bolt up to the stock tranny for now. I can't afford the downtime necissary to do the GSX swap. We are, however...

Ok, here's the deal. My wife LOVES the 2G Eclipse. It's her favorite car of all time. I've fallen in love with it too, despite having 4 other cars all Nissan. But, alas tragedy struck last week.We were driving on one of the main roads in town when I was forced to pull to the side of the...

My wife's HIDs did that as well when I had the wired to the low beam relay.I rewired them to the high beam and they stayed on for some reason... so I kept them there. I rewired the fogs to be on with the accessory (a la sidemarkers) and it works great.If only I could get them to fit...

Yup! A V6 into out 2G! Has anyone else done this on the forum?

There's not really a decent track around here to run at. Only one dyno shop. The closest thing's a 1/8 mile... and all the ricers hang out there. Not really my idea of fun...I dyno'd a max of 446 with no bottle. I'm not a big bottle fan, though I have a 100 shot wet kit I could use on...

I saw no ICs on agpturbo.com. I like the turbo selection, though. I've thought about going full garrett. I have a Garrett GT 3040 twin ball bearing on my Maxima, but know nothing about choosing one for a DSM.

Well, my wife wants more power, but she doesn't want to do the research. I'm an extremely experiences Nissan driver and have turbos on all my vechicles. I'm fairly new to the DSM modification scene, as it's not a car that I drive or work on very often. She's gotten tired of trying in vain to...

RH? Website?

I know spacers are dangerous for racing, but for show it should be ok... at least temporarily. Where could I find some?

That's what the backspace is for... to push the rim farther out laterally. Instead of changing the offset, I'd opt for the backspace to save money.

For instance:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2434244934&category=43958These have the correct boltpattern... but have killer backspace.

Well, I'm a professional lurker on this board. It's hard to find topics that haven't already been thoroughly covered. :DI have put on a Quwhees Widebody kit on my wife's car. I didn't really like it at first... but now that it's on and COMPLETELY molded... I am seriously in love...

I have heard not to vent to the atmosphere. It makes DSMs run hard at idle.Funny, My Max runs beautifully without recirculating. I guess the Eclipse was designed to recirculate.

I have done the standard bolt-ons to my wife's GST... Intake, Exhaust, etc. In looking at body kits (at her request) I ran across this engine bay pictureI noticed that one outlet is plugged from the intake (circled)Why is that? It it because it's using a FMIC?

I'm a Nissan freak. I'm a decent DSM fan... mainly becasue my wife is a DSM freak.I still prefer the real Silvia Varietta. It's current;y one of my ongoing projects in addition to my wife's GSX Spyder.
