two totally different parts/shapes! S14 SR20det uses a different intake manifold design than the 13 SR20det does.

S13 IACV:


S14 IACV:

I bought what I presume is an S14 IACV from a member and it has a metal adjustment screw as opposed to a plastic one like the S13. I just wanted to replace the screw rather than taking my entire intake manifold off. The screws DO NOT interchange. I think the metal is a new version for the S13 SR, sounds like I'm going to have to pull the manifold and find out

[dorkidori_s13]

the blacktop SR20s (NOT S14/S15 NOTCHTOP) used metal adjustment screws vs the plastic ones in the redtop IACVs. i have a metal adjustment screw in my blacktop SR just to confirm for yah.

[S14kouki805]

That's funny cause I have an S13 blacktop and it has a plastic screw, unless someone replaced the valve cover for a blacktop

fat 02 sensor or skinny?

[jaysgottaredtop]

If you only need to replace the screw, check the junkyards. Other Nissans share the same size IACV screw. I got a screw from a junkyard years ago to replace my leaky redtop SR screw. I don't recall if it came off a KA, VG, or something else.

Is Gt Spec still around? I've placed an order for the s14 front strut bar. Their payment method is rather confusing. They want a direct deposit but don't list the bank name or the routing number. I tried emailing and calling but no response

My redtop (og redtop, no fins) has a metal screw iacv.

I'm not sure what the year splits are for metal/plastic.

My S13 Redtop has a Metal Screw...

Dude I use to see from time to time in town here had a S13 Blacktop which had a plastic screw.

So not sure if there is any real rhyme or reason to which got what... That or both our motors had the IACV swapped out in Japan prior to getting the motors here in Canada & mine actually has a Blacktop unit where as his had a Redtop one... ?

[mechanicalmoron]

Anybody OBDII swap an s13? I'm wanting livedata and such. What all would it take, other than the ECU and harness? I've got the s14 manifold, or most of it.

Just got my bee*r limiter (25th anniversary edition so I think it's a bit different) in and am trying to figure out the wiring but I don't understand Japanese and need a bit of help interpreting.
From google translate it looks like left to right its yellow/green/red/black (see picture) but what are the denotations next to ps13 and rps13? Don't want to mess up this install so any help would be appreciated

So admittedly I don't know what a bee*r limiter is supposed to do, but looking at that pinout, the wiring is:

Yellow - Pin 22 Cam Angle Sensor 180 degree signal
Green - Pin 31 Cam Angle Sensor 1 degree signal
Red - Pin 38 ECU Power
Black - Pin 39 ECU Ground

I guess this powers it up and allows the device to monitor revs?

S14 rb20det with nistune ecu. I do not have the cable nistune provides for tuning and data logging but i have an OBD2 cable i use on my 06 bmw 335xi. Can i use the cable on the rb20 ecu? Are the connector pins the same, just with less assigned pins?

Nope. Nistune uses the Consult port. You can but the cable from Nistune, or you can pick up a generic 14 pin Consult to USB cable on eBay or Amazon and have at it. I use one with the Nissan Datascan App on my phone.

The OBD2 port (16 pin) is physically different, and the k-line data pin doesn't exist on the RB ECU.

I have no clue if those 14pin to 16pin OBD converter cables work. Though they might of the software/scanner speaks the Nissan Consult I protocol.

Thank you I appreciate it very helpful info. Forgot it was 14 conpared to 16 pin

Essentially yeah its a 2 step system that utilizes ignition cut rather than fuel cut for launching/flat shifting. Glad the pins seem to match up with what I thought

Thought one of yall might know this off the top of your head, but i got a wiring specialties lower harness that is supposed to auto to manual, do still need to jumper something? I got two fusebox plugs that dont go to anything, and one two wire plug on the other harness not going to anything.

Quick question I have 25mm extended flca's I have pbm s14 inners but missing a couple pieces to piece together my angle kit. I'm not trying to get that hella angle or go with pbm's drop knuckles what other knuckles are out there and also what outer would I use s14 or maxima

isn't the maxima just a hair longer?

Why not go with PBM?

GKtech are more expensive, ERA1 and wisefab are definitely more expensive, and you already said you're not looking for hella angle. You can have someone make you a pair but then you're usually paying more than half of what it'd cost to just get like PBM

In short, yes, it will fit in there. It's a double din. Will it mount to the existing brackets? maybe. probably not, however that's something you can fix with drilling new holes in you bracket.

As for wiring I took the liberty to google up some information for you on the subject. You of course can google your life away to see if there's an adapter harness. Doubtful. I would just splice away.

So I switched the IACV out for the metal screw one and now the car won't even turn over...FML

Would a faulty IACV not the let the car even start? I would imagine it would start but just run like shit.

Anyone?

[e1_griego]

That sounds coincidental rather than causal

It would start but idle like crap if that might just crank start and then stumble and stall out. Did you make sure to reconnect the ground cable if you took the entire intake manifold off but I'm assuming by your name you have s14 so it's not as extensive as the s13 iacv

Driftknuckle.com

[jaysgottaredtop]

^ No. Over priced, inferior, cut-n-weld junk compared to other stuff on the market.

DriftKnuckles.com: hacked up stock knuckle with relocated (and hopefully accurate before/after welding?) tie rod pickup point; $250 + $200 core charge

PBM: brand spankin' new forged steel roll center-corrected knuckle with precise CNC'd pickup points; $400.

Just get some roll center correction knuckles. They handle worlds better.

Why do some people have Yellow usernames?

I have the S13 SR though, yeah I thought it would start regardless even if the IACV was bad. I checked all the fuses and they all look good

Quick Question about transmissions, I was planning on swapping my KA24DE for an SR20 and was wondering if I could use my Spec stage 3 clutch from my KA trans onto an SR trans?

Different bolt patterns. It wont work.

[Mrodriguez124578]

Does anyone know if they still sell Kouki Fenders that are steel and not Fiberglass or Reinforced plastic and if so could you please link?
