Take the belt off or your gonna burn up the compressor

How is it going to "burn up the compressor?" It only works when the clutch is engaged. No power to the AC system means the pulley just freewheels.

is it going to do any harm to accidently switch 2 ground wires on the engine harness? theyre the same gauge wire, so technically it should still ground fine right?

S14, cusco ruca, low chassis, blowin cv boots.

ok so i replaced the boot and it blew up after a week of driving. ruca bushing on the upright is completely destroyed, so when suspension compresses the ruca would flex down onto the boot and cause failure.

so my new question is what do i replace the blown bushing with? oem?

every thread in my search was for z32 parts and how poly bushings bind. my car is just about tucking rim on 17s so i think the bind would be pretty severe..any ideas?

OEM or Poly, they both bind equally, which shouldn't be much an issue nor concern is the rest of the suspension is still rubber or poly.

Question...
I have stock unmolested 97 fenders, Don't want to do any pulling or rolling. I am thinking of getting either 15x8 +0 225/50/15 or 225/60/15. Or 16x8 +0 with 225/50/16 I would like to have some meat in there. I like the look. I don't really like the rubber band tires. I know it's not 255 like others on here, But its all stock motor. No need for tires that wide.

I have tried searching in many other threads, max tire, this one, Wheel whore, fs, wtb, etc, but this info isn't available... Thanks.

Or should I ask in those threads? Figured I would try here first.

How much poke is too much poke? For An s13.

Alright guys, need a little help.

I bought my first car today, and it was an s14 (: So I'm pretty stoked on that. Well the key doesn't unlock the passenger or the driver side door. I forgot to tell my mom this, and I gave her my key to move it when she needed to get out. I just got home and she locked the car. I can't use the trunk to get through because the lock on that is just broken, the only way to get in the trunk is to hit the latch in the car.

So my questions are:
What's the best way for me to unlock it from the outside? I've thought about using a wire coat hanger but I want to know if anyone else has any better ways.
And how can I fix this? I've read about a few people having this problem but I can't seem to find someone that actually gives a good answer about how I can get it to unlock without keyless entry.

i need a little help. i just bought an nx1600 cluster with the harness already spliced and everything. problem is he was running dohc, im still sohc. the only thing not functioning is the rpms. anybody know what pins/wires i need to switch around to get it to work? or am i screwed

[morbid]

I tried to search for headlights but couldn't find an answer. What headlights are these on the left car? I'm guessing they are custom. How can I do it myself?

Screwed. Swap in an SR/KADE or pop in another gauge someplace.

Call the lock guy, depending on your insurance it may be free. Otherwise, clothes hanger. Then find a set of locks and keys and replace them all.

Ask in the max tire thread for info on max tire. My guess, somewhere around 235/55.

ask in the identify this thread. I dunno too much about s13s but my guess, supermade or raceon. There are others.

Flush is nice. Poke is not.

Just say no to poke. You'll be glad you did once that trend dies off.

ok thanks.

Also, on the way home from buying it I noticed that every once and a while the speedometer would go crazy and go down to about 40mph while we were going 70-80. Then after a few minutes it would go back up. I was wondering if this could just be a loose wire maybe?

those look even with the hood, so im not sure if theyre custom head lights or what. but you can do the "sleepy eye" or "frog eye" or whatever people call it by cutting some brown wire. i dont know how to do it, but you can google those and find out how. itll look like this http://www.180sx.co.uk/images/sleepy1-thumb.jpg
if thats something close to what you want

Does anybody know if the Q45 front calipers will fit under the stock S14 15 inch base model wheels?

Q45 brakes will fit under just about any 15" or larger wheel. So, yes.

How About this poke?

[soreballz]

^Rear looks decent, considering the low-offset 16s. Front looks like my asshole... And I don't have a good looking asshole.

But hey, if you like it, PM the owner, get his specs, get those wheels, and rock the shit out of that retarded trend.

[chuki.s13.coupe.]

lol alright thanks man.
