When you say "turn the key" do you mean into the start position?

Stock replacement

I turn the key all the way to start the car, the starter doesn't click or the motor doesn't even turn over. I just have to turn the key a couple times fast and eventually my car turns on.

Both of you check the connection on the solenoid seen here with the orange wire in the second pic.

I don't remember the wire being orange on mine, but anyway, the female connector on the end of the wire just slides over a little metal tab on the solenoid without clicking into place and can become loose. This is for an sr20det but may be the same with ka's.

Found my prob it may be the other guys problem too. The starter was quickly eliminated cuz I knew it couldn't of been it

This thing behind the ignition switch was loose. When I pushed it in and turned the key my car started up first try. But when I didn't push it in the car wouldn't start first time.

As far as that moaning sound coming from the car, I doubt it could be noise coming from the fuel pump because after it's done priming that wierd moaning sound starts. It's just annoying has anyone had this?

Thx for all the replies zilvians and thx for the link man.

So will running low comp pistons on a stock tune mess up my motor? Spun a bearing so I built the bottom end while it was out and have no money for a tune right now. Also 9:1 pistons but only running 5lbs of boost right now till I get a tune

What's the best way to Install a Rocket Bunny Wing? It came with nothing but the Wing. Tried searching but nothing really came Up. It's probably been answered before but I couldn't find anything.

So I came across this on craigslist, was considering going to snag it. BUT, I just can't wrap my head around whats going on with that wheel gap! Seems a bit much even for stock suspension with wheels and aero. any ideas as to whats going on here????

ended up hitting the starter couple of times with a screw driver. car started right up. How long could I go driving with a bad starter solenoid??

They're probably 15 or 16" wheels with a stretched tire

You want Illest ugly, or Japanese tech savvy?
For Fatlace/Hellaflush/Illest guy ugly, just use pop rivets and rivet it onto the car for crap fitment that well, looks like crap fitment(noting the man hisselfs Mark A.'s, S14 that was in an older issue of Super Street)

OR you could go Mr. Miura style and do it right. Set it onto the deck and look for any gaps, smooth it out with a sander until it fits perfectly, then use some 2 Way tape to place it for fitment. Now that it's placed for fitment, you evenly mark the places where you want to drill, countersink, then using countersunk screws and nuts on the trunk interior, mount it correctly so it fits well and looks like Mr. Miura's cars. a dab of green loctite on each screw, or your girl's nail polish keeps the screws from wandering away

doubt it. atleast a 17" wheel but yes tires are stretched. and it does look higher than stock height. they may have coil overs and raised the car so it doesnt damage the kit. who knows.

i wanna know why he's asking us and not the owner.

owner posted his email rather than his phone number so getting in touch with him isn't so quick. Just wanted to see what everyone thought.

My 1997 240sx has a S13 Transmission in it. I bought a new Bradded Steal Clutch Line because The old One needed Replaced. My Problem is I tightened the Nut as far as I could on the Slave end of the Line but the Line itself is still a little loose and is leaking. Is there anyway that I can Fix This? Like an O-Ring of some type? Is it because It's an S13 Slave instead of an S14 slave?

[mau5trap]

Can someone tell me the jack stand points for a s14. Sorry I'm new with s14's.

not sure if you saw the previous post, but it ended up being the starter.

[240sxdrive]

I'm trying to connect an iat sensor to my power fc for s13 blacktop sr.

I need to connect the red wire to pin 26 and black to pin 21 or any ground or splice them into existing wires if they're present.

This is what I'm dealing with.



The ground wires from pin 21 and 39 are soldered together. They don't lead to one wire though, both wires come out of the ecu, are soldered together then continue with two wires lol. I can probably just clip the joint and make them individual but the weird part is that the blue wire coming from pin 26 connects to that soldered joint. So I have 3 wires, #26 blue, #21 and #39 black all connected, then two black wires leading from them into the engine bay. On top of that there is a dial connected to the blue wire. WTF is going on here lol.

No different than s13. I should make pinch weld adapters out of hockey pukes soon.

I know exactly whats going on. Those came from a different car in a trade, ro the guy had the tires on one set of wheels and traded those for these wheels, but the 205- 40-17's don;t quite fit right on the s chassis.

I had a set of what were supposed to be 5x114.3 G-Games clones that turned out to bex100, so I swapped the wheels for a set of Infiniti Enkie Hyper's at the local shop. The rear tires were fine, normal stock gap at 215-45-17, the fronts, however, at 205-45-17 give the front of the car that certain 4x4 status. Those wheels would probably ft a taller 215 perfectly.
If you totally hate the whole package, send them my way, I'll get some adapters and put them on my 1993 Sentra SE-R for perfect fitment

Which ever is more affordable. Same thing pretty much.

[kingkilburn]

Any resources on the OBD1 KA upper engine harness? I need to cut into mine and trouble shoot the thing and would rather not be going in blind.

I can get them both for the same price..
oreiley carries ultima starters
&
auto zone carries duralast starters

[David48]

I just dropped an SR into my S13. I pulled the KA out and it ran good and had no problems. Now it cranks but the fuel pump is getting no power. The fuse is good. I also noticed that now with the key out, the dash warning lights(brake, door, seat belt) will stay on as though the key is in, and the automatic seat belts still retract when you close the door with the key out. I'm not sure if they're all related or not, but has anyone ever had this problem?

[_kouki_monster_]

I am doing a rb20 swap in my 89 s13 and working on hooking up power steering. So i cut the old crimp shells and took off the hoses. Inside the hoses the are some coiled steel pieces. Anyone know what they are? I was thinking some sort of resistor or something? How will it effect steering if they arent there? Thanks

i would stay away from anything "autozone" branded like DURALAST crap

[mau5trap]

how do i test just the solenoid pinion on a s14 starter?

[theStig880]

I recently finished an SR swap in my s13 and Im having a mystery clutch issue Im hoping someone can help me with. Some background information, its an Exedy Stage 1, oem (freshly resurfaced) flywheel, Exedy throwout bearing, and a Nissan pilot bushing all on a mostly stock powered redtop. Im also using a known good Nissan clutch slave.

When I first finished the swap, the clutch engagement seemed to be really low on the floor. I bled the clutch several times and adjusted the engagement point higher but the clutch still feels off. By that I mean it feels all on or off with no middle ground. This leads to stalls and jerky shifts. The clutch has not been broken in yet, I have 3 miles since the swap. If anyone has a suggestion, I am all for it

My car used to do the second part. Did you press that button right above the key when you took the key out? If you don't do that, sometimes the lights will stay on.

The light issue literally just fixed itself. lol no idea what it was. My other issue was a fried ecu

Does anyone know of a company that sells 50-60mm front fenders for an s13 silvia. everything ive seen shows blister, but its the whole kit.
