Nice man. Keep the videos coming!
I'm sorry if I missed this but have you dyno'ed the car yet?

Fezzik · 11-06-2010, 11:59 AM

Not yet. I'm getting it broke in a few weeks before doing that. Maybe next week I'll have a dyno. I'm doing pulls and checking hoses and for leaks.

Awesome! Good luck getting the flutter fixed. It really is kind of loud...

So I've been trying to figure out why my power steering was groaning a lot. First was a microscopic hole that was in the housing and was allowing air to get sucked in. Sam overnighted a part to me and that fix the biggest issue. Now I was still having a little groaning when turning the wheel. The return line from the pump to the resevoir was a custom cut. Ok I thought maybe its kinked a little. So I took the hose off and cut it shorter to where its got no visible kinks or bends hardly at all. So this helped a lot, but I was getting some groaning still.
I was like great got some problem somewhere. I checked everything; all lines and no leaks what so ever. So i tried different ATF (I orginally used valvoline ATF non synthetic) I made sure I got teh right dextron number each time. Some made it louder, sythetic seamed to make it louder. I was about to give up and decided to try the nissan power steering fluid. Its red and smells like ATF as well. WEll i put that in there and now the p/s is virtually quite now.
DO they do something different to the nissan p/s fluid. I always thought it was ATF? but hey it works.

Ok. Well so far everything is ok. I develeped an oil leak at the oil filter relocation housing. THe part that goes into the oil filter area. Never had a leak and tighened everything down pretty good. Well it was 15 degrees here in chicago and i start the car and back her up. Low and behold a oil pool. I go under and have to tighten a few things. I'll have to do it tomorrow because I'll have to drain the oil to get to one of the fittings. sucks because its redline oil and it only has 500 miles on it

Not yet. Sam told me he just got the car this past week. It was also a short week. Hopefully in the next week or two.

9 bucks a quart on amazon. Its still a lot, but its really really good oil. one of the few true ester oils out there

I knew it would be a bad idea to have to relocate the filter because things like this would start happening. Next thing you know that leak becomes a torn hose and you have a seized motor in your hands.

Like someone said, you should run dual bpv's.

Things like what?

All he had to do was tighten a few bolts, because it was very cold here in Chicago that night. The car is fine. The S/C is awesome. I've been in it more than once. It's not like he's getting detonation after his 7th "tune".
