Oval mufflers are better for quieting drone down, but a mid mounted resonator helps a lot. Remember, you have pretty much straight pipe from header back to the end where the muffler is so all you have under the car is straight pipe. Adding the resonator, or a middle muffler will quiet things down a lot. I thought it a great idea to make a lightweight road racing exhaust for an older car once. Bullet muffler in back, should have just went straight pipe. Added the moroso to where the resonator would go, big difference inside, small difference outside(race muffler is a race muffler afterall) but it was quitter.

If I remember correctly, there are 2 drain tubes on them.

Can anybody here verify how many grounds to the starter there are on a KA24de?

Also, is there a certain position the starter needs to be in for the car to turn over or can you just put it in there, ive been trying to start my car after rebuild and my starter is just making a weird clanking sound. lol i love this dumb question thread

one ground. But its a best practice to run an extra ground strap from it to either your chassis or batteries negative terminal.

as long as it has power and ground and the belt is tight you should be good. If the starter is clanking it should also be turning the engine over, if its not turning starter is likely bad

anyone know if the R32, S14 or S15 floor mats fit on S13?

[1on1]

r32 will not fit and s13/s14/s15/ have similar size and I would expect the s14/s15 floor mats to be a little bigger than the s13.

S14 front floor mats fit fine... though a little weird overlap on the trans tunnel on the drivers side. rears fit, but theyre a different shape

Problem 1: What would cause my rev limiter to stop working when hot? The last couple of drift events I've been to so far my car's limiter will work for like 1 lap and then just stop. After letting my car cool down in the pits the same thing happens the next time I go out, 1 or 2 laps and then the limiter is just gone. I don't have an aftermarket limiter or anything. And just to be clear when I say 'hot' I don't mean I'm running the car into the danger zone.

Problem 2: This may or may not be related to problem 1, but it would be nice if it is. Last event I did a lap when my car was running fine, there was no signs of it running poorly (just the usual limiter not working) Anyways I finish my lap and stop in the lineup and when it's time to move my car just would not respond to throttle, my idle was rough and fluctuating. Shut the car off checked my throttle cable, tps was plugged in, maf was good. Start it up again still the same. So after about 10 minutes of looking at various parts of my engine bay with my xray diagnostic vision I give up. Start the car up and now it responds to throttle. I was able to drive my car home but ever since that happened my idle has been really low and my car has been running a bit rich.

Any suggestions would help. I haven't really dove into diagnosing it myself yet, but a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated before I start breaking shit in the garage.

do CTSV calipers clear 17x9.5 +15 MB Battles?

[mattrobertsxn]

I relocated my battery while rebuilding my motor, does anybody know where this second plug leads too? I know the first one is the fuse box.... anyone?

And an add-on to above question, do i even need that or can i just run it straight to the starter and call it a day?

if you don't get your answer here, hit up the CTSV caliper guy

Don't know about Battle's, but Square 17x9 +15 are good to go with CTSV calipers. My freind Rob has them on his coupe

[brokeboi01]

Took inside the top and and noticed this rough edge. Sign of engine wear or just some random sr bit?

Looks like a leftover from casting. Is it attached or can you get it out with a magnet?

It'll work with 4 pot Brembos. If you want the 6 pot you'll probably need to run 18's.

any major differences between redtop/blacktop/notchtop transmissions? my notchtop spun a bearing and I wanted to buy a forged blacktop but will it fit in my old tranny?
I'm guessing yes but just want to be sure
E: also out of curiosity, how much power can the tranny hold? the new engine would have all the stuff necessary for more than 480hp, and has a stage 2 clutch, but how much can the tranny take?

Yes, the transmission is the exact same. Go ahead and buy a couple of replacements if you're running that kind of power. They easily shatter at 3-350hp.

Can someone tell me why my car dies when I put it in gear. It will idle and rev just fine but as soon as I go into any gear, it shuts off. No, there is nothing wrong with the clutch engagement, it is electrical. I don't even get to release the clutch before it shots off. I'm thinking I just need to order a wiring specialties harness

There's slight gear ratio differences between S13/S14/S14a transmissions, but they share the same bellhousing bolt pattern and are pretty much interchangeable. Just make sure to reuse the speed sensor for your chassis. (Use an s14 sensor in an s13 trans for example)
S15 trans will bolt up also, but you'd have to change flywheel, driveshaft, and crossmember.

if its a 6 pot, you will have to run 18s. I have IS-F calipers, which are basically the same thing as 6 pot CTSV bremos with minor exterior changes and they barely fit under my 18" rays that have the most aggressive face design.

Yeah definitely make sure your starter belt is tight, right after you fill your blinker fluid and grease your muffler bearings, should be good to go LOL

CD009. Swap one in. New from Nissan for around $1800

Gotta think about that if/when I blow the current one, can't really afford to buy a new one since the engine itself is expensive af plus new turbo, intake, exhaust, chip, injectors etc to get the 400+ hp. Hopefully the tranny will hold for at least one year

My SR tps is reading 3.7v at WOT KOEO. Is this in spec?

Did you do anything to your car before this issue happened or did it start out of nowhere?
