eh, you should be alright... but keep in mind if you havent replaced your fuel pump with a walbro unit, youre running on a 23+ year old pump most likely. spend $100 and buy a walbro, might also wanna buy an adjustable FPR like Tomei or Aeromotive with a gauge (cant stress the gauge enough).

Might actually get them to weld that pipe on the intake side for a recirculation hookup.

Its actually crazy how few companies actually sell intakes with integrated recirculation pipe.

Alright. I'll keep it at 10 psi until I get some more supporting mods. Already ordered the fuel pump. Thanks!

Again with the studs question, so the 10mm spacers I bought (eibach) has studs with 14.9mm knurl diameter, and S14 front is 14.3mm, right? It should fit great?
I'd like a confirmation before I shove them forcefully and can't return them anymore.

Any experience with eibach studs? Are they strong?

Two dumb questions:

Are LHD and RHD clutch pedals the same?

Do extended control arms with stock knuckles and tie roads even work?

pedal MAYBE, bracket assembly NO

Does anyone know if the "Silvia" on the s15 dashboard is an actual emblem? I would like one

Since I deleted the egr, the egrc solenoid valve shouldn't affect my car mechanically in any way correct? I can just ignore the cel? My car runs fine, idles fine, it's just the code that's popping up. I appreciate any help.

It'll be fine. You'll always have the code

Fenders are rolled, with the rears being slightly pulled. Car is sitting on Blitz coilovers if that makes any difference.

That won't fit at all without overfenders.

Or you can potentially melt the wires.

You need to really verify what amp draw the fans have and then make sure the controller can run them.

As in, if you have two fans which draw 40 amps each, you can't expect a single 30amp fuse to control both after the relay

Are the spacers bolt on or slip on

Google S13 and S14 Knurl size, if I can do this you can do it too.

14.9 will not be happy in a 14.3 knurl hole. It *may* press through but may require a slight drill out to accept the 14.9 studs

Clutch pedals not the same.

You'll need longer inners

[S-Nation S13]

quick question, have any of you guys here have any experience with the Villains Dual Rear Caliper set up? Any insight would help. From my research it uses a VW caliper, I mean a caliper is a caliper the damn thing clamps but what gets me is the caliper is meant for a 70's era car kinda on the ropes with that idea you know. thanks in advance

Slip on, they are meant for a 350Z but Eibach site says that the studs are 14.9 knurl on every Nissan and Mazda they provide.
I can't get a sensible answer since every site seems to say different things, all I know is that S14 front should be 14.3, but so seems the 350Z be also.

So I'll rephrase my question: Are wheel studs the same for 350Z and S14 front? Will they fit on each other?

Thanks

Not sure what you mean by that, but the stock tie rods will not reach the knuckles after extending the LCA. Other than that it will "work".

Really? Because when I asked the wheel fitment thread, two people said that it'll fit no problem, and that it's "standard" S13 fitment?

Yes, the fronts are the same. 14.35 mm knurl on S14 front as well as 350Z/G35 front and rear. Rear S14 is 12.83 mm knurl.

14.9 may be a tight fit. Maybe look into spacers from b2autodesigns.

Brilliant thank you!
I already ordered them but haven't arrived yet, the site I ordered said that they are for 350Z (they don't have S14 but I figured it's the same), it has a note "S16" which is

If they are meant to fit 350Z they should fit S14 aswell

EDIT: in case anyone else is wondering the same question, yes the knurl size is the same on S14 front as 350Z, mine fit greatly

Okay another question about the exhaust on S14a

So I have two o2 sensors, first in turbo elbow and another in catalytic converter, I bought a straight pipe and it has no boss to fit the o2, my question is that if I unplug the second o2 and tuck it somewhere in the chassis will I get any other issues than CEL?

I can live with the CEL for a while since Im gonna get my car tuned and remove the o2 sensor completely but can I drive the car for about a month without any issues? It shouldnt affect fueling etc since the first o2 does that, right?

It will be fine to tuck it somewhere. The second O2 is only there to measure the catalyst for emissions. A better option would be to buy or build an "O2 simulator" and tuck it in the dash somewhere. So you will have a "clear" ecu if you live in an area that does OBD2 emissions testing.

So. Not sure what I did here. I was finishing my 5-lug swap on my 95 S14 the other day. Everything was going well until I went to break and remove the axle-nut from the drivers-side rear. I thought locking the E-brake and having it in gear would be enough to allow me to break it loose. I put on my 36mm socket with a breaker bar and went to loosen it and it didn't break loose, but spun back a half turn. Did i screw anything up? I ended up using another breaker bar to brace between the studs and removed the nut. I guess I'm just worried i fucked something up. Finishing my new brakes this week and it'll be ready to be back on the streets (HOPEFULLY lol).
Thanks.

[1on1]

Use your jack handle and insert it over your breaker bar to give it more leverage then it should break. If not, spray some PB blaster or WD40 for on the axle nut and try again. Otherwise, have a friend or family member hold the brakes (while the car is on and in neutral).

Sound like you spun the drive train by hand..🤣... its fine. At least you got it, I will never try another axle nut w/o an inpact for as log as I live. Impact FTW

Haha I was scared as hell lol. I was thinking I stripped out my diff or an axle lol. Or turned it out of timing. Everything should be fine though??

Does anyone know of a cheap ebay quick release that works with the NRG v2? I'd like to put one on my gaming rig so i can just take my Nardi out of my car and put it on there

Does anyone know if C33 Mirrors fit onto the s13? Many thanks in advance!

Driveshaft question

1jz vvti in an s13

Does this go in far enough?







Thanks for the help.

[lunchmeat]

Negative ghostrider. Drive shaft looks a few inches short.

[mr.nismo.]

Hell no. I've had an abs driveshaft in my non abs s13 and I constantly blow tail seals, your shortage looks dangerous

Super small and easy question, going to go through wiring fsm tomorrow but buddy picked up a neo head swap sr20 built motor in a zenki for a good price today. Car runs crazy rich, everything checks out as far as no codes, tps is good voltage, high timing around 25 degrees on cold idle and is running in the 10s all the time.

NOW the issue I saw in datascan/nistune is its reading 9.9 volts key on the on position. Battery directly is reading 12v and when you start the car the voltage for the software is saying the car is at 11.9 which is way to low. On my ka-t hatch its 13.9 and low 14s.

Im sure this is a big issue but has anyone had anything similar? Going to look through the charging diagram and find a pinout for sr20 ecu so I can trace the power wires to the body harness and go from there. Is there anything I can check first before anything else? Never seen an issue before with having 12v battery but a drain on the ecu ?

[LoSt180]

Could be grounds need to be cleaned up. Or the wiring is getting old and causing a lot of resistance, which would cause the voltage drop.

[XMcEvilson]

when my lights are off, the turn signals work fine. when my lights are on, the front right doesn't blink. anyone else had this issue? s13 hatch
