i u think u can hear a pillowball over diff/music/exhaust/other noises.... then maybe think about getting something quiet....

I was on the freeway, some piece of huge metal flew from a car in front of me and hit my front bumper, made a hole in it, and now the metal is now stuck and dragging under my car. i didnt get the car's license plate number, what willl happen if i go to my insurance about this?

Well, my exhaust is quiet (65mm HKS + turbo), my music isn't always loud and I don't have much of a system to speak of, my chassis is low miles (70K) and it's still quiet, full interior = quiet, diff is VLSD so it's quiet... so yeah, I guess my car is quiet. Just wondering about people's experiences with pillowballs from Tein for S14 applications. I've heard people say they are silent and others say they are so noisy and clunky they hate them. These are on other applications possibly besides S14s.

Call your insurance. Worst they'll say is, sorry they can't help you. From what I know, most insurances want a police report with accidents.

look in the FSM. here is a link to some: 240sx FSM, Full Service Manuals, S13, S14, KA24E, KA24DE : 240sx General Discussion

What are the length and diameter of the SR coilpacks, the part that sticks down through the valve cover and head?

singlecamslam · 10-28-2010, 02:02 PM

Do s13 sway bars fit on s14......

zooopreme · 10-28-2010, 05:02 PM

Generally, how much would a synchro rebuild cost me at a reputable shop? Is that how I'm supposed to go about it? It's difficult to get into 1st and Reverse and sometimes 3rd gear, I literally have to exert more energy than what is needed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

how much vinyl wrap it takes to wrap 240?

MANOlOS14 · 10-29-2010, 11:34 AM

Ok i've tried to research this and wasnt too lucky but im jst gonna ask here: On a KA24DE s13, 14 engine bay the battery is located on the passenger side thus the air intake runs from throttle body (passenger side) to the opposite side (driver side), Has anyone tried relocating the battery elsewhere and run an air intake from the throttle body downward, kinda like running pipping to the intercooler if u were to turbocharge it but instead of an intercooler its just a cone filter? I dnt have my 240 no more so i cant try it and i just want to know if its more effective than the common way.

Michael Nolan · 10-29-2010, 12:30 PM

where do you get bubble knobs from?

axiomatik · 10-29-2010, 04:30 PM

People used to do that all the time before SR's and KA-T's became prevalent.

it grounds to the alt. in the first pic the top nut is where i usually run mine

icedsole · 10-29-2010, 10:14 PM

A quick inquiry, is part that the actual clutch fan connects to the pully with the same for SR and KA?

I installed my clutch fan with a "KA" piece onto my sr, and it didnt seem to go into the fan shroud that far. i thought maybe
it could be that i have a stock radiator, but id just like to make sure.

Top two the one on the right?
would this be the reason why the alt fuse burnt out because its not grounded?
thnx

becuase he is about to sell his car and wants to drop the bomb pic in the forsale section.

jk i really don't know. but if i'd guess. I'd say he's saving it for the wheel fitment thread. Can't post until its 100 percent boss!

How often do KA TEMP SENSOR'S go out? FYI Dual Cam, 186,xxx miles, From a 91'?

It's a common issue. Gas mileage goes to shit cause the car stays on the cold start map.

singlecamslam · 10-30-2010, 07:19 PM

s13 sway bars, do they fit s14's?

Also, code 91, right bank O2 or whatever, is that just the o2 sensor? 95 s14

fuck, this might explain why my car burns through gas at a ridiculously quick rate.

XxCAPTAINxX · 10-31-2010, 12:09 AM

just curious if anyone else has had any issues with YAMATO GARAGE. i ordered my s13 RUCAS 3 weeks ago and i have yet to receive any tracking information or notification that they have shipped. i have pm donovan twice the first time all he said is the computers are down. and i have yet to get a message back from the second. i am starting to get skeptical of them.
