Car weight was set at 3625, hp at 60mph was set to 13, and all runs were in 4th gear.

Well, the only other way to go is up. This mght be the lowest baseline I've ever seen lol.

Wow SS I'm late to the party just finding out about your situation. I saw you had a Nismo and running around trying to find out why. I'm happy to hear the motor didn't go and you parted with the car before anything happened.

You beat my old low, I did 245whp on a dyno dynamics in 09.

KaienZ34 · 07-17-2014, 09:08 PM

What!?! The new one????

davwak · 07-17-2014, 09:32 PM

Oh no! Hopefully it's not something terrible. *crosses fingers*

Mr&Mrs · 07-18-2014, 02:47 AM

I feel like im starting to read Ryans (98intrigue) thread. Sorry man hopefully it is something silly. As far as the dyno im curious to see what your planned mods do to those numbers.

SS_Firehawk · 07-18-2014, 08:49 AM

I think it's the fuel pump. It's at a dealer now, so we'll see. I think the pump failing and those low numbers might be synchronous. Hotrodz was kind enough to offer a room for my wife and I at his house. We drank beers, traded stories and enjoyed the company . He let me drive his Nismo. I giggled like a mad scientist the whole time. This forum has come through for me countless times for help.

You are family now and our casa su casa! Looking forward to seeing you riding in style again.

So after 7 hours, the service guys confirmed it was the fuel pump. Unfortunately, a new pump won't be in until Tuesday. Wifey and I were in some random parking lot all day waiting for a call back to figure out what to do next. I'm sure it took so long because they have to follow a step by step diagnostics procedure. Ticking and a hard crank with no turn over usually means no fuel. It was also the only thing that was touched on the car. I'm not going to point fingers at anyone. Things happen, and it's getting fixed for free.

Edit: This just turned into a $1,000 problem.

Unlike.

Damn.

SS_Firehawk · 07-19-2014, 05:37 PM

I got her picked up, but this is just a bad time for this to happen. I'm supposed to get ready to pack all my stuff in storage, go to Reno, and figure out where I'm moving afterwards. This mistake hurt. My Wife is Pissed, we're both stressed, bickering, and tired of our whole situation. Hopefully this is the cherry, and we can work our way down.

Crap!

Holy Hell, it doesn't stop. Anderson Nissan left gouges in my passenger door sill. I already called them and sent pics. Some were down to plastic and metal. I found five different scratches where they were working to put in the new pump.
