[killer240]

does anyone have a size chart for the Work VS KF in 17's?
I just want to see if work made R disk for the 17's 5x114.3.

something like this.

EDIT: Never mind. They did have R disk for 17's.

Stock harness and headlights aren't up to the task...
A lot more amperage draw. Heat generation will be higher.

Then the reflectors are designed for 35/55w. The angles are such that ate a certain lumen they reflect differently. Not only will you blind everyone and look like you are driving with the high beans on. It will give you night blindness.

You want to increase the spread of the beams not the intensity.

def tail lights had this problem on all my hatches. get some butyl rubber tape from an autoparts store or glass shop and re seal them.

lol, what? Why would you tell him to get it but it just gives a placebo effect?

It is mostly a placebo effect, but it does bring that 87 Octane to about 87.9 with a full bottle, so there is some minor benefit. The point is though, it's a stock engine that will run fine on 87, and better on 93 or 94. Most people dump a bottle in, they 'feel' the difference. It's a woobie, a snuggly blanket of perceived performance, besides, something tells me he has already thought about that anyway

open the hatch, and pour a little water from a cup down the drip rail area. Look at where the tail lights come through. This is the most common place for leaks. The water will move down the drip rail, and fall right through the taillight housings into the trunk

Any standard, halogen, xenon, or other type bulbs, not HID's will work fine with oem wire and housings. When you step up to HID's or go digital LED, then you need things like resistance or buffer wiring or heavier wiring. OEM styled bulbs though(oem, halogen, xenon, et al), no need for heavier wire until you get over 100W

How will higher wattage bulbs not need upgraded wiring. But, HID's that use equal wattage and LEDs that use less need it?

HIDs only use more power during starting(Not enough to cook a harness). Then they use equal or less. The reason people upgrade harnesses on HID installs is because the resistance on old wiring creates a voltage drop that puts a strain on the electronics in HID ballasts.

Tits, thanks guys, thats my suspicion confirmed. Shes going into storage monday so Ill take care of it in spring when I get my kouki tails additional question, when you get new kouki tails, do they come with a new gasket or do I gotta make my own like jaxshawn said?

I have upgraded cibie h4 housings too... the reason for getting these halogen bulbs was so that i can actually see at night. i dont have retrofits, and this was an option instead of getting crappy HID's.

There is very little experience on this.

Others have said that they were able to use the 85w bulbs and it not melt their harness.

I've asked elsewhere, and he said that i needed a relay.

I'm not so sure about the stock harness being able to handle 100w... will it melt it?

either way, i want to run these bulbs, so i can actually see at night. i've got metal and glass housings with good reflectors so i should be alright.

my car is very low so it won't be pointed up so high.

[hOngsterr]

some gotta know, or do i have to buy a stock sr one.

for sr20det's blacktop s13, for the TPS can you use it off any other usdm cars?

he wasnt trolling, thats how i found out my leak, its from the tail light seals, go to autozone or oreillys and get the butyl tape/window seal roll. plus what he said.

is your wiring cut already? if not you can easily trace it from the lower harness.

not the same, iirc s14 has a slight gap on the s13, can be used but will leave a gap.

[kingkilburn]

Does anyone know of a place to pick up a set of door seals for s13? Everything I'm seeing from Nissan is either backordered or discontinued.

Why would you ever want to do that?

[Gar9854]

I maybe over thinking this but I'm looking around enkei's website and find the pf01ss and they're listing of specs is
http://www.enkei.com/size_chart/PF01SS.pdf

Are they saying that all the inset specs (which is negative offset says here http://www.tracksandtires.com/pdf_wh...ure-offset.pdf)
So are the pf01ss and negative only offset wheel?

I ended up getting the hella h4 conversion, I've tried probably 12 different bulbs so far and honestly the 70w+ bulbs are less effective than a set of osram night breakers, but I would recommend relay wiring even factory seal beams as s13's are getting old and I doubt your getting all the power you could to your bulbs through factory wiring.. But as a little trick you can wire a 1 way resistor in your wiring so when you turn your brights on your lows down cut out.
I did this with a Katz zeta booster and I love it. Good luck

[FourtyKid]

I'm wiring up my Alternator/Starter/Transmission, and on the wiring harness, I've got a plug that's got two wires, Yellow with a Red stripe, and Yellow with a blue stripe. I don't see anything for it to plug into. Where does it go? S13 Manual Transmission wiring harness.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. It's for the 4th gear and 5th gear position plugs on the KA transmission. Z32 tranny doesn't have those so that's why they were not used!

[Kaosrhd]

It's just alot better an more reliable and I like the steering feel alot better plus I keep blowing out my powersteering doing mountain passes/drifting

clearcorners says it's good, so i got them.

what i'm looking for is a set of directions as to what i need to do, in order to get them to work.

I have no idea...

Sure they're good but in Atlanta with everyone having drop in HID's and 28 in wheels I couldn't see shit with anything above 70w since it just blasted light instead of controlling it like the cibie, raybrig, or Hellas can do, but do as you must and good luck with cops and rainy days cause you won't see shit when the reflectors get light and shine back in your face (road signs and DOT lines/reflectors) when those bulbs blow which will be rather quickly look into osram or Phillips or the raybrig if you need the ultra jdm bulb

Remember, heavy-duty relay wiring harness is absolutely necessary with competition bulbs.

Say it right on his page.

I just need some directions as to what I need to do in order to install them..

Lol, anyone have any idea? It can't be that much, i'm willing to drop the money for it.

35amp relay, and what wires?

[David48]

Does anyone know of a company that makes a quality T2 KADE bottom mount cast manifold? I tried doing a hybrid SR mani but the guy welding it for me couldn't get it to work.

Better search would have been for "H4 Harness."

[Jesus_lopez405]

Ok, I broke my key in half and can't find the other half. I was wondering if I could put up my key code and some else may have the same key and I buy it from them?? Don't feel like paying 180 bucks for a replacement would this be frowned upon becAuse people may think I'm stealing a car ??

[hOngsterr]

I called dealerships, had a key code, they said it will be cheaper to buy a new lock set for ~2xx bucks lol

[jamg]

well with those keywords...

Ceramic H4 Headlight Headlamp H4 Light Bulb Relay Wiring Harness Socket Plug Set | eBay

can i just buy that?

and use that to run the bulbs?
