I had a feeling thanks for confirmation!

So seriously. Why are there two different versions of 26mm rotors? Which one do I buy? I have some old Aluminum 26mm calipers to slap on the ol 240
'height' refers to.... the hub part? I mean wtf is this lol
121.42036 is for the Z31

OR...when you buy your rotors, you pick up some antisieze, apply it to the hub surface, and not worry about removing later on

Hello I have weird one that I cannot figure it out, it seems to all be related. I have a 89 240 coupe the motor is stock, MT with roughly 143K on it that I purchased for $400.00 and is in need of some TLC. The car runs and drives as long as you stay below 4K rpm, the speedometer does not work nor does it show 0. When the cars reaches 4K it seems to bog down like when you let your foot off the gas, I am able push in the clutch and release and the car continues to speed up and does not bog down until 4K.Max speed is 74~76 mph based on my phone. When I turn on the head lights the gauge cluster light does not light up. Only a couple of times while driving at night the cluster lights come on, the speedometer works along with HUD and i can rev past 4K and drive faster than 75ish . Any ideas, I am guessing some type of wiring problem.

This may be a little late but I weighed both sizes.

My 26mm rotor was 15.2 lbs.

My 30mm rotor was 16.6 lbs.

if i have a cluster with a working speedo, but a stuck odometer, the ecu will still get the speed signal right? The ecu gets the signal from the speedo and not odometer right? Just making sure

Yeah, VSS goes to the ECU first.

But I've read in multiple threads that the vss goes to the cluster first. So does the ecu need a working speedo or a working odometer to get a signal?

Signal goes to the cluster first. Does not need a working odometer.

Just want to make sure for this subframe. I was going to run ES bushings so I left the metal collar in but I found a white line bushings that have a metal sleeve on it so I should be ok to cut those sleeves out like I would if I were to run a solid bushing right?

Just go with FD Legal since FD is now sponsoring Pro Am, or maybe you can level up to Pro 3

What are you talking about? It’s a street car. If you’re talking about going with solid bushings that’s not happening

Better option is go to Whiteline's website and download the install instructions. They were pretty good for my G35 bushings.

The ES kit is a great set up. I love it in mine. Aside from burning out old stuff, its easy to install.

KA KA24E 5KRPM limit underload

What’s up guys. I’ve got a 1990 S13 Hatch with a KA24E SOHC with a 5 speed Trans. I’ve been trouble shooting this issue for weeks and no progress at all. In Nuetral the motor revs to redline without a problem, throw it in any gear and it bounces off 5,000 RPM. I’ve read multiple forums and pages stating it could be the 5th gear sensor, I’ve disconnected it yet it’s still occurring. Could it be a MAF problem? I’ve really ran out of ideas... thanks

I turned in the idle screw to bring the rpms down from 2000 to 850. I believe in closed loop it's around 850 and open loop it's a little over 1000.

I'm also seeing some strange behavior with the CEL. There are codes but no light. The CEL is illuminated just before starting the car and turns off after starting. Does it take some time before the codes actually light up?

I'll address the codes before continuing to investigate the close/open loop switching. p0171 and p0400 are the codes

Thanks

I got an oil pressure gauge unit after I did an oil change, and now I want to install the oil pressure sensor but dont really want to drain all the oil since it is still pretty fresh.

Would I be able to get away with undoing the OE pressure sensor without oil spewing everywhere?

I understand I may need to wipe up around the area, but will oil start to pour out if I take the sensor out? Should I undo the oil cap before pulling the sensor out?

Wait like an hour after the engine has run for the majority of the oil to drain back into the pan. There will be some oil in the feed that will back flow out the pressure sensor hole. But, it's not a lot. You can take off the oil filter to get it out of the way and release the pressure from it's back flow preventor. Just keep it's flange upright to keep as much oil as possible in the filter. Worst case is that you dump the filter and you have to top of with a half quart.

Would undoing the oil cap suffice for releasing oil pressure? The engine hasnt been started for a week, so I think the oil settling part should be okay.

Not really pressure. The oil in the feed portion of the block. There is not a lot there. Removing the filter is just an easy way to back drain it out instead of it coming out the oil pressure hole. Also, gives you more room to work. Keep all the oil in the filter and you may not even need to top off.

Removing the oil filter for sure was a good idea, working from the top of the car proved to be very awkward due to very little room to move around and removing the filter bought me enough room to get pliers in there. I wanted to ask, is there a factory fitting on the oil pressure port? Or would my sensor* thread directly on there?

FYI, I did get an NPT to BSPT adapter* which threaded onto my sensor.

The reason why Im asking is bc I had to thread the BSPT adapter onto another little fitting that was already on the block, which then screwed into the engine block. I tried to screw the BSPT fitting into the block itself but I was getting a lot of resistance and didnt want to strip any threads.

Just to be clearer about the sequence,
sensor -> NPT to BSPT adapter -> fitting -> engine block
