I think so. Can't guarantee that. Double check with someone

starter
ignition switch

and I'm still fairly new to these cars
what other things should i take a look at or replace?

Are you getting spark? Fuel? Check there first. Could be a CAS too, when they fail you get a no start, and the occasional start.

Unsure on a bridge but on other seats you can as if you reskin or replace or wash the harness, you need to take the hard plastic parts out.

Shouldn't hurt anything. Disconnect battery, fix wiring, and hook it all back up. You may need to still clear the ECU MAF code though.

Note bc and the other post below your OP. What they are saying is yes, at least dry out your plugs, and you should inspect and change your oil. Why? If you flooded the engine bad enough to wash the plugs, you probably washed the cylinders and got fuel into the crank case. As you know, chump gas is great for cleaning parts off when they are oily or greasy

'washing' a engine sucks. Have you ever seen the results if they kept running? Spectacular stuff, but usually ruins things like hoods, intakes, and sometimes worse.

STOP working on your car NOW. Go immediately into town and look for a small building with a sign on the door that says simply ASAP, and register for weekly meetings. This would be ASAP, Anti Silvia Abuse Program. There you will meet a sponsor who knows how to properly work on S Chassis cars. He, or she, will assist you when you work on the car by pointing out what you need to do so it is done correctly. You have now gone above and beyond the normal ham fisted wannabe stage and are in full blown Silvia Abuse. STOP now, or we may have to make an intervention.

So i just got sum new wheels for my S14 and can't decide what rear overs to go with.. I was already set on sum 50mm Charge speed overs; rear wheels are 18x12.5 -44 and I'm kinda thinking the 50mm might still need a good -10 camber . I have a D-max 3 kit on and was wondering how BN blister rear overs work with non BN blister kit I have a chance to get them for cheap at the moment. any pix or info would greatly be appreciated thanks peeps

[teh smithers]

My horn doesn't work on my S14. My fuses are good. I've disassembled the hub, and it looks like it could be one of two things: The rotating hub itself (brown wire), or my green/white wire, which has a small bit of damage done near the connector. The rotating hub says not to take it apart, but I want to access the brass contact ring. How should I go about doing so?

I'm sure ZFever can.

[tengo240]

so i pulled codes from my ecu and at first i got 55 , so i went to start the car but while pulling codes the battery was dying and cranking it over killed it. So i jumped the battery and redid the codes and got code 11 ,the cas. now im not sure if that was an actual code or if it was because the battery died while trying the first time? either way i cleared everything then drove the car and it still does the same stuff . all i really changed was the engine harness (chasebays ) and pt my chassis harness behind my dash .I have looked over my chassis harness dozens of times ,relays ,fuses ,grounds are all good .
I have had to repin the chasebays harness for the maf ,so far the ect plug didnt match,none of the trans plugs match and now this whole deal .

Oem navan? Urethane probably. Def not fiberglass

[O$mo]

For safety reasons Dont go bolt in. You would need a shop to bend the piping if you go with the dimensions. If you are good with CAD you can probably make the design and have a shop do all the bending and ship the pieces for you to weld, or bring to a local shop for welding

[Mr_Flamenco]

Thank you for taking time and replying me,

what I am wondering is what type of material is good for competition level roll cage
is there a specific type of welding need to be done to the rollcage?

Thank you

you only need the adapters to run 6.5's in the doors, depending what you want sound quality wise, however, should run new wires as well. Otherwise it's a pretty simple install. And for your second question, 6.5's won't fit in the stock rear location without modding

Formula Drift Roll Cage rules - Yahoo! Search Results

Scroll down to 2012 rules

This may be a little more than you were looking for, but I believe it will comply with most international sanctioning bodies as well since it is modeled after D1 Japan, and SCCA

Anyone have any info on the Blitz Nur Spec RX? Checked a few video clips but they were all s15's and a 180sx i believe. Trying to decide between that and the Nur Spec R.

Same exhaust. The RX is just for where you can't have a removable silencer.

Been wanting to wrap my s14 headliner so it's black.

Anyone know of a black fabric that is similar to the OEM headliner? Haven't seen anything at any fabric shops. Also is it possible to remove the old fabric or do people normally just use spray adhesive and lay the new fabric over the old stuff?

Anyone know any details about the back lit Japanese license plates? I have read where they are for semi trucks, and somewhere said they were for government use only. I recently got two in a trade with some other parts and I just want some more info please.

Is it normal to have some play in the wheel bearings?

My rear passenger side wheel has some play in it. I removed wheel and rotor and inspected it and it looks normal. But wen the wheel is on i get about 1/8'' play

*it feels normal while driving, and no kind of weird noises come from the wheel

Check suspension? If your wheel bearing is fine, you might get that "play" from loose suspension.

I Checked. All bushings look good. Its definitely the bearing.

It's a vanity plate. Anyone can get a "jiko-shiki" (字光式).
