Read the title of this thread.

Took the hose off of the smic for the bov and saw this weird metal cylinder in there...my other smic does not have this piece, what is it for or is it some stupid thing the previous owner stuck in there?

Looks like the VC to intake breather tube for the PCV system.

Ever tried google?

The answer is yes.

Does the rb25det shifter assembly use the same clips to hold it in place as a ka? I have one clip on my tranny and i dont see any other grooves for more clips, shifter wont stay in place. Try

[chiboy002]

how hard would it be to replace the valve seals on an s13 ka-de without pulling off the head. I just took it off and don't wanna have to get another gasket set if i dont have to

[jdmjap808]

Sorry my question was answered by a friend. Sorry

I'm planning on doing a battery relocation, but what do I do about the connections that are on the positive terminal????

[Fearell]

What are these two connectors on my SR harness?

[Ramonesfreak2010]

That 2nd connector looks like the ones for the fuel injectors.

so i'm going to be swapping in a new clutch in my redtop this week.. do i need anything else besides what comes with the clutch (alignment tool, pilot bearing) and some fluid?
i guess i'm trying to ask.. do i need anything small like new flywheel bolts or anything of that sort? i do know that i have to get my flywheel resurfaced..

Technically the flywheel bolts are one time use (torque to yield)...having said that, most do not bother getting new ones.

Clutch kit should come with it all, don't forget some anti seize for the pivot ball/input shaft/throw out bearing slide.

Hey guys I've got an odd question. I've searched and can't seem to get any info on it so...my question is. Is there any way to increase the tension on my trunk lift rods? This is for an S14 with SE wing. When I pull the lever in the car the trunks clicks and is able to be opened. It just doesn't lift up. It doesn't really want to stay up very well either. Thanks!

[Steinkrunk]

is it a trunk that didn't have a wing on it before? Or is the car not an SE? The pistons may be valved for a wingless trunk and the extra weight from the wing might be just enough to make it not want to pop up and stay up.

Other than that, I would try replacing them. They're probably blown out or something. How does it sound when you open the trunk?

[Z_Spool]

they aren't gas struts he's talking about, they're the metal tension rods under the rear deck from what I'm reading. Not sure about how to adjust those though... If I had my car handy I'd try to figure it out for you.


My question is kinda random, but does anyone know if Nissan dealerships still sell the rear 'NISSAN' vinyl for the S13's? Mine just got out of paint, and I can't seem to find an OEM decal. (again, not looking for the 240SX or Silvia badges, just the "NISSAN" decal under the tail light) Thanks in advance.

Last I checked they do have it. I checked it out about a year ago I was gonna get the nissan sticker thing that goes on the back hatch. I forgot how much they said it would be though.

[nikkisixx69]

Yeah, I found it. West Covina Nissan has it for $16.54 on their OEM parts site, thanks.

Some turbos have built in divider plates, make sure your elbow doesn't have a divider plate built in, or vice versa.

It's a base with SE options. The wing being one of them. Ya no pistons here. Just simple metal tension rods. If you have any ides on how to adjust the tension on them I'm all ears. Thanks for replying so quickly though

Came across some 5zigs on the cheap, only problem is one of em is all fucked up, big ol chunk outta the rear.

Pull head off, and do it right. Half assing it just sets you up for failure.

Anyone know what kind of fittings the s13 a/c compressor high pressure line uses?
Maybe even the '02 LS1 compressor too?

[yomisiu]

A s14 Kouki dash would fit fine in a Zenki right? But you'd have to get the Kouki gauge cluster (aren't they different?)

If you're talking about aftermarket elbows for stock s13-s15 turbos, yes, they are interchangable. I've ran the same greddy elbow for a stock t25 and a stock t28 s15 turbo.

The dashes should be interchangable. It's not necessary to get a kouki gauge cluster to match.

Ramonesfreak2010, The wires that are connected to the positive terminal? Trace them back. If they don't go anywhere, take them out. If they go to something, connect them to power.
