are megan racing exhaust headers worth the money? theyr like 150$ while others are 300$

only reason i ask is because my exhaust downpipe has a different flange than my ka24de header, and the only flange that fits is from the s14 ka-de header
and it would prolly be cheaper than having one made
so yeah, is it worth it?

I know the setting is 2 in 5 out for a z32 maf with a stock ecu. Its probably different for this enthaply ecu since its already tuned for a z32 maf.

If I recall correctly, its 2 in 2 out. You basically set your SAFC as you would for the original MAF of your engine.

Still good, or no?

Are the s14 Zenki and s14 Kouki bumper turn signal lenses the same.

This is for USDM bumpers.

I cant seem to find anyone who sells USDM bumper ones.

SmokeCircle · 04-29-2010, 08:55 PM

I lost 2 of my rear 300zx caliper bolts. Can anyone verify if all 4 bolts holding both pieces of the REAR caliper are the same size?!

I would find out what the stock RB MAF is and see if another Nissan/Infinity car shares it
or track one down

Check Courtesy Nissan's site, compare the part numbers

I have these headers and have used the same one on two cars. A lot of people don't like megan, but stainless is stainless. Ground clearance isn't half bad either.

MidwestMyriad · 04-30-2010, 06:17 PM

As for the wheel adapters, is there a reason you don't want to do a conversion? Hubs aren't that expensive, plus they're a lot safer.

i just want the option to run 4x114.3 and 5x114.3 rims without totally swaping out the suspension just to do so.

xBtony · 04-30-2010, 10:43 PM

Total noob question, but whatever. What does the charcoal canister do in a SOCH KA, and do I need it for the car to run nicley. The car runs like shit, and Im trying to eliminate all the problems I can, and I noticed it dosent have the charcoal canister. lol

It is part of the emission system - most performance cars will have it removed.

EVAPORATIVE CONTROLS

Gasoline evaporates quite easily. In the past, these evaporative emissions were vented into the atmosphere. 20% of all HC emissions from the automobile are from the gas tank. In 1970 legislation was passed, prohibiting venting of gas tank fumes into the atmosphere. An evaporative control system was developed to eliminate this source of pollution. The function of the fuel evaporative control system is to trap and store evaporative emissions from the gas tank and carburetor. A charcoal canister is used to trap the fuel vapors. The fuel vapors adhere to the charcoal, until the engine is started, and engine vacuum can be used to draw the vapors into the engine, so that they can be burned along with the fuel/air mixture. This system requires the use of a sealed gas tank filler cap. This cap is so important to the operation of the system, that a test of the cap is now being integrated into many state emission inspection programs. Pre-1970 cars released fuel vapors into the atmosphere through the use of a vented gas cap. Today with the use of sealed caps, redesigned gas tanks are used. The tank has to have the space for the vapors to collect so that they can then be vented to the charcoal canister. A purge valve is used to control the vapor flow into the engine. The purge valve is operated by engine vacuum. One common problem with this system is that the purge valve goes bad and engine vacuum draws fuel directly into the intake system. This enriches the fuel mixture and will foul the spark plugs. Most charcoal canisters have a filter that should be replaced periodically. This system should be checked when fuel mileage drops.

Not to mention they are going to change your off-set.

Ebay.

There is no "genuine approved product" as the "approved, or proper" way is to simply convert to 5-lug hubs.

Not a problem. On another note, about the sealed gas-caps, if you leave your gas cap off most modern cars, you will get an engine light shortly after.

doesnt frp explode? its a vertex bumper so will that make a difference?

silviaguy240 · 05-02-2010, 12:41 PM

SSR sp1 mid disk clears z32 calipers?

t.vo408 · 05-02-2010, 05:24 PM

On a s13 blacktop into a 93 240sx. Am I supposed to use the KA lower engine/transmission harness and is it a direct swap?

Secondly, do I have to swap any sensors? Mainly the speedo sensor if I will be using the JDM cluster.

Nizmo_max · 05-02-2010, 10:32 PM

okay..was doing some research on the 300zx front brake swap..and just need consensus or people that had done this with experience. AUTOMATIC 240sx has the 15/16 MC correct? if so..are these a direct bolt in for MANUAL 240sx (mines a s14) ones? (im thinking it should, but just need consensus)..if so then why don't people just use these and save them on the hassle of adding another fitting to the 300zx's ones? i know there's two other kinds but im just talking about the 15/16 one!! Because don't you have to add another fitting to ANY 300zx MC's?

It should bolt on. The difference is in the brake boosters. The automatic brake booster is thicker.
