I have a couple questions for you guys.

Question 1: What kind of paint stripper is the most effective and thorough yet safe to use on aluminum wheels?

Question 2: Has anybody replaced the studs on Project Kics spacers before? do you happen to remember the knurl diameter? i need get extended studs and i need to keep my spacers on the front so my wheels clear the tie rod.

Thanks for the help!

Since you're somewhat local, you can check out Super Autotoyz. They have A LOT.

i have wheels i need tires for they are 17x9 +12 and 17x9.5 +12 i was wondering what size to run i was thinking 215 40 17 front and 235 40 17 in back would this be good or should i run 215 40 17 all around or another tire size

[hOngsterr]

do 215/40 all around thats what im doing.

Hearing a weird sound under acceleration. It sounds like a skreeching noise ONLY when turning right and sometimes when driving straight. DOES NOT make the noise when turning left.

I just swapped my SR in, NOTHING is rubbing anywhere, no zipties..nothing. I thought it might have been a small leak from the downpipe but sealed it up again and its still making the noise.

Someone told me that it might be possible that it might be my power steering mump going bad? IDK why only turning right and going straight though. Does the pump work hard when turning acertain direction?

It isnt the manifold, not a gasket, and theres no turbo play. Its blowing my mind.

so finished up my 300zx rear brake swap, got some of those adapters for the e brake cables, and got everything bolted up, Now with the ebrake handle adjustment nut for the cable all the way loosened up the e brake cables still have lots of tension on them and still are engaged. I ran the cables through the stock holes in the subframe, and they are 2+2 cables on a s13. If i don't run the adapters the lines have too much slack and if i do they are too tight. Any one have any suggestions or might have had this problem?

[Mister.E]

are the upper engine and lower tranny harnesses the same between zenki and kouki model S14's?

[240sxChillen]

What Bulb type do zenkis have? h4? halp.

EDIT-It was H4

[Jakob]

are s14 oem kouki and zenki sideskirts mounted the same way?
what i mean is the stock kouki sideskirts are mounted with screws and clips on the body of the car.
are the locations of the holes and clips the same on kouki and zenki skirts?

[Mr.Bobble]

You can get the whole kit. Everything else will work out just fine. Correct me if i'm wrong somebody else..

Kouki sideskirts have I believe 5 holes on the bottom? Navan zenki sides there are two holes that mount to the front mud flap location that's already pre drilled. Also two holes in the rear. You may have to make a custom bracket unless it comes with it or drill additional holes.

One of my friends bought a caulking gun and some silicone caulk. Didn't leak at all. Someone also used rtv with no leaks

Does it spark? Pull a plug, crank it, and check for spark. Does the fuel prime? When you turn the key to the ON position, do you hear the fuel pump whine?

If both are good and you are cranking strong, start checking electrical. Check all the grounds. Check all the connections - make sure they are properly snapped together.

On my DOHC, it would not fire but would crank hard. It turned out I didn't put together a connector correctly so it wasn't getting a signal to spark. Look it all over. If you narrow it down some more but have no luck, post your progress.

[R33E8]

Anyone have any recommendation of tires to put on rear z32 wheels? They use 245/45/16 which is kinda hard to find.. The cheaper the better..
