Now this is the one that is different



See now this one has the check and film on the drivers side

Now question number two. I'm waiting for my PBM solid risers to come in. But I'm wondering did I do this right? Or did I remove too much?



All four of them are bare like this. No lips. Help?

Bump for answers

What are my options as far as Rear Diffuser on S14?

So far ive seen/searched; Top Garage, Origin Raceline, and some custom looking stuff. What else is there out there? Is there a site i can choose a bunch of diffuser from and I can just cut my bumper up?

thanks

Since tech threads are gone figured I would ask in here. I just bought another 240 and it has the sohc, i need to replace the tensioner bearing. Does anyone know the part number so i don't have to buy the whole tensioner?

i just did the nx1600 cluster swap. i'm not positive on all the wiring it was really my first time doing wiring and it works perfectly fine but my headlight fuses blew out and i'm not sure it was from the cluster cause it didn't happen right away. it happened after a few times driving my car. my question is could faulty wiring to the cluster have anything to do with the headlight fuses going out?

Im hearing mixed reviews about the pbm skid plate, I read people say they suck and aluminum is weak. Other say they are strong and amazing. Anyone honest review before I get one?

i am having an issue with my usdm climate control in my s13. I have all 4 speeds working properly but all of a sudden i cant select different vents(shit is stuck on the floor). first thing i did was replace the climate control unit with a forsure working unit, still the same. I searched an searched and still am not sure..... ANY IDEAS??? I am thinking that this has something to do with it, but i dont know what the hell it is??? sorry for shitty pic but im refrencing the black thing with the brown plug in it.

ive had mine for a year, its saved my life a billion times. Yea aluminium wears through faster than stuff like steel but who the hell wants steel under their car?

Theyre rigid as fuck if you only bolt the rear two and the front middle. Only bit of advice is to use thread lock when putting the bolts in, mine came off on the highway and it was dragging. made a light show for traffic.

IMO it was well worth the money, i would buy it over and over again solely based on the fact that it prevents big ass things from hitting my oil pan, cause you can't always avoid those shitty bumps that bulge in the middle

[foxystyle]

Thank you chiboy, very tempting to buy it. Aluminum wear out fast on yours or anybody? I want to lower my coils more but my oil pan shouldn't be sacrificed.

Will any year q45 from 1990-1996 front caliper fit on a s13? I'm trying to buy new rotors from 88 rotors but they requested to specifically note the manufacturing year/date. Which led me to question if there's a change in caliper between 1990-1996? I don't know what year my q45 front calipers came off of but they bolt on perfectly fine. I just need new rotors! Do i just tell them i have q45 brakes and they've give me the appropriate rotor for my application?

my steering wheel is hard to turn when the car is standing still like it has no power steering, and if im moving its easy to turn like power steering should be but i cant move the wheel back and forth (as if you would initiate a drift) theres alot of resistance, and normalyy if you take a turn you can let the steering wheels spin to straighten out, mine will not do that i have to always turn the wheel is this a bad pump? or could it be the steering rack and pinion? or just taking a shot in the dark here could it be my cut springs? they are all cut differently from previous owner

really would appreciate help for this

my car will get up to 180*, but when i accelerate or downshift hard, my aftermarket and factory temp gauges will drop down below 140* and than slowly climb back up unless i really beat on the car, which than it drops all the way down on both gauges....thinking it has something to do with the thermostat and not so much with any wiring or anything since it happens in both gauges

info on car
car is a 90 with an sr swap
aftermarket gauge picks up right out of the motor before the top of the rad

[killer skittle]

Small question to go along with that...
My electric fans are set to ALWAYS ON for my sr, does it need to be set to come on after a certain temp? Its getting cold here and my fans are always on and my car takes for ever to warm up.

yeah you should have a controller to have them come on at like 175-180

but it also depends on your fan setup as i have altima fans and one is always running, and the other comes on at like 180-185

How much is my pair of work equips worth? Theyre 18x8.5 +41. They both have a decent amount of curb rash on them.

Is anyone on here running a gt3076 or equivalent on an SR?

I don't even have an oil change on my 2871 and I kinda wanna jump up. I'm looking at a buddies 61
Mm turbo. It's not too big. I just wanna know what the response is like

[future]

This thread fucking blows. I've tried using it three times. All three bumping my question three times. For now on I'm just going to make more pointless threads for small questions

Okay princess.

Maybe your differential covers have to do with having non hicas or hicas in your car? Abs or non abs? Open differential or vlsd? Making pointless threads or researching yourself?

And I believe you should be fine with your subframe like that, just install your subframe risers. You can ask matts13vert on here to clear that up for you.. He also has a video on YouTube.

But you can continue making more pointless threads for small questions!

[Wake]

Its not like anyone is going to answer in those either you whiny little bitch.

I saw a picture once, i don't remember where, it wore through where the bend it, which is where the sway bar is. Mine hasn't worn through, nor is near it yet, but when it does you can always fix it or buy a new one. And you have to be stupid low driving on the ground for it to wear through, theyre pretty thick
