Scratched Clearcoat, ?s

hmmm try using a polish to buff it out... that should work... If not come back and let us knw... Use some force with the polish and should rub out..

my rolla was scratched before i got it, and only noticed it when i got it home. i had a bottle of mcguires scratch-x that i used on my 200sx. on very light, surface scratches, it will most definately take them out. the deeper you go, the harder it is to take out. try it tho, its only like 5 bucks or something at autozone. you just use a pad and polish it on, let it dry for a few mins, and wipe off. anyhow. yeah, it did work on my rolla tho.

scratch-x and some polish I used that on my old SR20DE 8)

I thought it was a SR20DET? Or i guess i read wrong, and hoped u had a det ...

oops I was in such a rush to the post I forgot the "T" on the end, thanx for correctin my error, yeye

sr20det can only be found outside US soil, unless it was either imported or a modified sr20de. the T stands for turbo. so if its a stock USDM SE-R, it's an sr20de.

hehehe that engine was imported from a shop in Japan alot of custom work was done and money was spent........ alot of it

nice... i hope you still have it. that was my ultimate plan for my 200sx, but with the shocks blown, my rotors warped and needing new pads all the way around, the engine mounts becoming soft...... the corolla was a much better investment. i could have had a very nice old car, or a very nice new car for a little more. i think i made the better choice. i still love the old nissan tho. she corners a lot flatter than the rolla, even stock vs stock. i feel like im gonna skid off the road w/ this thing, the way i drive

that was my plan, by a 200sx se-r, either do all motor or add turbo etc etc... Never found a good deal, so im here...

Unfortunately I sold to it a real close friend who helped me modify and tune the engine, my Sentra could have lasted for a long time only xcept i couldnt be forkin over 200 bucks for smog and it was about for something different, I might by a 240sx with a swapped in S13 in the near future

.....my plans for this 03 is along tha same lines only I might pull off putting in on of these engines:

2ZZ-GE (that will be turboed)
1MZ-FE (N/A)
2JZ-GE (possible supercharger)

I know several mechanics who might be able to pull one these swaps

the 2zz would probably be the easiest and cheapest, right?

yeah the 2zz would be the easiest to do

damn bro, i want a hook up. i know only one person competent to do something like that here, but he charges out the ass to do shit like this. Hopefully after college, i can afford it...

I want to do the 2ZZ swap with other people i know including myself, but if i do it, i will need another car so I will have to wait till after college too. The mechanics are cool they help tuned my SR20DET and find the parts for them. These 3 engines are not hard to find in Cali.....the junkyards in Long Beach, CA. alone have yards for each type of car whether it be foreign or domestic. I got a call last month that a Celi GTS was in the yard with tranny and engine in good shpae but I didnt have any place to put it, so I might do some searching later on.

u think the IS engine will fit the rolla without heavy body mods, i would love an I6 then trubo it.....

from what some of the mechanics have told me the engine bay of the 03 is really big...but the put in would be a costly expense because will need new motor mounts and stronger chassis

damn ur lucky to be able to do a swap like that... I seen a few 1zz-fes on ebay for like 500, I wanted to buy em so bad and buildem up, turbo and then swap into my ride... God damn I hate fuckin Univ :x ...

yeah but when u graduate, u can afford a ride with the 1zz, besides, ur desi so there is no other option right???

Yeah I have seen those alot in the junkyards too but I want to use a 2zz or 2jz
