Apparently motors need oil...MORE blown motor and Jungle Fever update..nsfw
so we were at the shop yeasterday, helping my buddy do some installs for his new company he's getting off the ground( www.redlinemax.com ...shameless plug). he has a turbo 99 Maxima w/ built bototm end(9:1 JDM VQ30DET pistons and rods) he took a customer out for a test drive and comes back telling me those magic words... "I think I broke something" 
so we finish up the Cifero headlight swap we were doing and pull his car in and drain the oil. his Maxima won't start and the motor seems to be locked up. we drain the oil and less than 1 quart comes out 
at this point were pretty sure its locked up or the pump got starved, one of the vet engine/tranny mechanics checks it out and assures "its fucked". we kinda suspect that there was a leak in the rear near the oil feed/block tee, since there seems to be some oil sludge back there. but we drop the motor, its takes about 3 hours between breaks, a few major oil spills, BSing around and my buddy nodding off. but we dropped the motor with the kit on it and we'll tear it aprt later this week. if its really bad, looks like a rebuild might be in order, but damn this gives us 3 weeks before SEMA in NJ.....crunch time!!!!!!!!!! 
here some random cam phone pics, since I didn't have the digi, they are small, but I never really post any of my projects so I said ---- it
how many times ahve we taken this thing out..I'm loosing count, lol :P
----!!!
T04 and Deltagate
Downpipe/catback and rear exhaust manifold feed pipe
rear/front manifold feed pipe junction --> turbo
Corey aka sleeping beauty takes a nap(one of many)
engine/tranny finally out
the motor/tranny with the turbo kit on it
2 years of blood sweat and tears into this thing....she'll be back
and of course after all that I go over to a friends house to crash...needless to say after spending the WHOLE day at the shop and not with her, she wasn't too happy to see my stank, dirty, greasy ***, lol but what better opportunity then to snap a thong shot :P
