Spring side goes into the block.

What's the best way to use HIDs in Silvia triple projectors? I've seen the thread where a dude swaps the low beam to a HELLA projector, but not much about HIDs. I've also seen people say you can't do it. Any pointers?

Don't buy a PnP kit. Silvia projector are horrible for that. The glass is nice but the reflector bowls are antiquated.

For Hi/Lows:
Bi-xenon FX-R Stage III Kit - Complete Kits from The Retrofit Source LLC

For Lows only:
Low beam TSX Stage III Kit - Complete Kits from The Retrofit Source LLC

Info:
s13 silvia tsx retrofit
s13 retro

Second one used to have good pictures of the Retrofit internals.

Thanks a lot for the info, dude. Seems a bit pricey, but I guess you gotta pay to play. I'm guessing HIDs on Bricks are horrible as well?

Ok so i had a cheap alarm on my car but recently i had a auto to manual swap and my friend disconnected the alarm. Now it wont lock my car but the alarm light still goes on. So im guessing my .alarm needs to be programmed but that isnt even the biggest problem. See the problem is ever sence the swap when i lock the door manual and get out the car to close the door the lock changes position to open. Idk what this is is realy annoying and am afraid of theft because of where i live lol. So in short i get out lock my door and slam the door shut then poof i check the door and it opens : (. Any help will be appreciated thnwx

my point wasn't about replacing spark plugs. I was asking what your spark plugs looked like as a tool for trouble shooting. Maybe you have a problem on only one or two cylinders, and thus the spark plugs for those cylinders look different.

chiboy002 · 11-30-2010, 12:11 AM

can anyone help me find s13 5-lug front hubs?

I'm planning on going with the OEM s14 ones on fr-sport, maybe have my old bearings pressed in but probably just buy new everything.

I heard good/bad stuff about ichiba, i can't justify buying oem rears and going with completely shitty-looking front hubs.

I also don't want to buy all that shit and have to get flca unless its the only option, cause i don't want a new alignment

HPKMotorsports3 · 11-30-2010, 09:30 AM

Whats the biggest/widest tire size you can throw on the stock SE rims for the S13? and still run safely...is it 215?

I dont know what size s13 SE rims are, but i know s14 se rims are 16x6.5... Which I ran a 225/50 on no problem.

Genuine OEM Nissan Z32 Fuel Filter
Is this filter good for s13 240sx with a SR20DET engine?
The other question is are there any original bolts and nuts for the drive shaft i lost one when i disconnected it );

i gotcha...hooked it up to the machine for the second time...and got a different reading...maf says it's fucked...i'm sure that's the problem right there...(it read fine the first time)

Yes, it's the same price as the 240sx filter. Flows more and lasts longer.

Are you talking the DS to Diff bolts?

chiboy002 · 11-30-2010, 06:34 PM

has anyone ever used a moonface differential/trans oil fill and drain plug?

If so, reviews?

Or is there any alternative to the plugs, they seem to be a burden when using (fill plug is almost stripped on mine because of odd shape)

R33E8 · 11-30-2010, 06:41 PM

How much do people usually make from parting out a complete running s14?

yingiang · 11-30-2010, 08:41 PM

do s14 have to tub if they get high angle knuckles ?
18x9.5 wheels with +12 offset

Razi · 11-30-2010, 10:19 PM

Anyone know where I can buy a stock SR intake box + intake pipe in SoCal?
I heard a few shops have a small collection of em.

I just got a new autometer temp gauge for my s13... can i just tap into the Pin on the ecu(or the wire at least)? i'm not sure if it will get the right signal or not. The gauge calls for 3 wires, ground..ignition, and signal wire

rickyv42 · 12-01-2010, 07:29 AM

Does anyone know if the S15 blue suede interior has a blue back seat to match the front seats or is it the normal black one?

Nathans got it, bunch of people have made it work.

But it also depends on the size tire, ride height, alignment settings and type of knuckle as well.

Im tubbed with a 17 X 9.5 +12, 245-40, re-11, with no knuckles and I cant get the caster settings I want right now. Certain set ups are going to require more, and mine with such a large tire is hitting the back of the wheel well and harness (even though its been moved around).

Thats why I would answer "depends".

240sx123$ · 12-01-2010, 01:45 PM

Im getting a wiring specialties premade plug and play harness for my SR swap. Should I put the harness on the motor before or after dropping it in?

Thanks Nate. I have some doubts so I think I will have to tub since I want a really low stance...

How are you supposed to get more clearance on the back of the wheel well ?

MrFairlady · 12-01-2010, 06:35 PM

found a set of my FAV wheels EVER but they are Super Weak.

Would These Sizes even fit on a Slammed S13 with coils w/ S14 LCA's etc:
18"x9" +41F , 18"x 10"+45R
Under Stock Front fenders? Rears?
any Coilover Hitting Front or rear? spacers obviously to get them somewhat where I need them But worth it for these Discontinued Wheels.
