September 2008 Ride of the Month

[07G35S]

Congratulations Damon Brock, aka Nissankat to those here at FreshAlloy. Damon picked up his 1997 Nissan 240sx just before his 16th birthday and immediately began modding it. Its gone from a enthusiatic daily driver to a capable, street legal, track car as of late. Damon says you can find him on the track, autocrossing whenever he has the time. His 240 was chosen to represent FreshAlloy as the September 2008 Ride of the Month.

Thanks to all who entered the competition. Tough competition is what the ROTM is all about, and every month even stiffer competition steps up to the plate. Think you've got a ride worthy of enough for next month's competition? Submit your ride to
freshalloy_rotm@yahoo.com (freshalloy_rotm@yahoo.com)

Additionally, keep in mind our friends at Nissan Sport Magazine will be watching the ROTM threads for prospective vehicles to feature in their magazine!

Clean! I like it

[DJPyro]

HaWt.

That's right, with a capital W.

[Nissankat]

Thanks for your comments and thank you to fresh alloy for choosing my car.

[elixirvtec]

man that is a extremely clean engine bay.

[palmerwmd]

Clean Solid Car!

Non ostentatious in the Freshalloy spirit!

You mean full on ricers with rear wings higher than the roof and neon underglow kits and roof scoops and 2 sets of foglights and aero-spaceship bodykits are not going to be considered for ROTM?

BTW, very nicely put together car. I would only add a HUGE spoiler if it were mine. :26:

[07G35S]

^ all entries are considered. With the small number of entries received monthly... I wouldn't count anyone out!

[ZYAL8R808]

^ all entries are considered. With the small number of entries received monthly... I wouldn't count anyone out!

That's it, I'm entering my rusting 1990 300ZX for consideration. :D

[idrive]

very nice, I love the cleaniness and well put together part combos...I especially like the KA

[Silk240]

wow, that is a super clean ride! nice job on it

[gunluvS14]

man, that's a very clean car.
I think I saw picture of him in SCCA Buccaneer JAX Region photo gallery.

[Nissankat]

Yea that was me. Do you come out to any of the Buccaneer events?

[SHIFT_6speeds]

^ all entries are considered. With the small number of entries received monthly... I wouldn't count anyone out!

How about my totally stock 2007 Civic Si Sedan? ;)

Congrats on FA ROTM....that is one clean and hot 240!

[gunluvS14]

Yea that was me. Do you come out to any of the Buccaneer events?

I'm a regular @ Coastal Empire, that's under Buccaneer region right :)

I guess I'll see you on Oct. 19th @ Roebling Rd. then. A lot of folks from JAX are coming up to play.

[MiamiGrinch240]

very nice, I love the cleaniness and well put together part combos...I especially like the KA

At first glance I liked it, when I saw the KA in the bay I loved it. Good job.

Nice to see a fellow Floridian representing with a clean KA-T Kouki

[Nissankat]

Thank you for the kind words guys.

Gunluv- I will most likely be at the roebling event so I will see you there.

[MiamiGrinch240]

Any dyno #'s?

Also, what made you go with the blue for the engine accent? Or was it to match the Cusco STB?

Ever have any issues with the Ground Zero manifold? I have been using it for a little over a year but didn't ceramic coat it, just swain coated my turbine housing.

[Nissankat]

I did 345 wheel on the my last dyno run. Here is the graph sorry it is so light.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/nissakat/05-21-2008102137AM.jpg

I don’t know why the blue. It has always been my favorite color though I have been told it is ricey .

I like the Ground Zero mani. I picked up about 500rpm of spool when switching from the old boost designs mani. I cut the 38mm waste gate flange off the GZ manifold and ran a larger pipe and a 44mm waste gate flange and with this setup I see no creep whatsoever. With the 38mm waste gate I saw a few psi of boost creep.

[Longfellow]

Very nice! I love the color.

[MiamiGrinch240]

Get a little boost creep on my setup. BB Precision SC50 on the GZ mani with 38mm WG with a dump tube extending under the driver seat. Dyno'd 337rwhp with 302tq at 13psi but I'm sure I could pull better numbers without a simple JWT ECU, SAFCII setup without a boost controller. Stock internals running off the WG spring basically.

How many pounds of boost to make those numbers? I'll PM you a pic of my ride.

[nice_big_wheels]

I like it, it's clean and looks great!

[gordonng85]

congrats!

[G35RIDER]

I just saw this car at Roebling last weekend, it's extremely clean, I love it!

[Nissankat]

^^ Thanks man. What were you driving?

[G35RIDER]

I came in with my friend in his 88 318 we didn't race though, I think he said he was talking to you at some point, his name's Paul.

[AJSPEC]

very nice... visiting here and seeing that makes me seriously consider keeping my car (95 se)

[sittinonvolks]

Bronze and white FTW!!!!!

[2Fass240us]

300+ ft-lbs from 3,700 to 6,000rpm...Jeebus, that's nice.

I would only add a HUGE spoiler if it were mine. :26:Not sure if this was in jest, but I would. Not HUGE, mind you, but something. I think the car's lines demand it, and he tracks the car. So unless it jeopardizes SM classing, doo eet! :D

[200SXpower]

That is a very nice car.Nother overdone, just clean.....

[Nissankat]

I just wanted to update this thread with a look at my new setup. The build thread can be seen here. http://www.silviav8forums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1221 Thanks
