My mechanic aligned my car on a Hunter alignment rack, and the results were okay, but slightly inconsistent. He told me I need RUCA's and a front camber kit to adjust camber so its even on both sides. The rear is the main offender. So I bought some SPL RUCA's, and I was wondering..
A) Should I wait to install them until right before going back for an alignment? B) If I decide to install them now, can I simply hold up the stock ones to the new ones, and use that as a basis of measurement for length? In my mind this would allow me to install them now, without affecting the current alignment. C) Are there camber plates available for strut/spring combo's, or do I need to use the camber bolt kit for the front? Car is an s14 by the way. |

B) Yes, for the most pat C) Camber bolt is cheaper and easier, but there are companies that make camber plates but you may need to get smaller (dia.) front springs.

so today i did a 3rd gear pull (i rarely get on my car but like to open it up every now and then) roughly 4000rpm when i downshifted to 3rd hit full boost and around 6000-6500rpm i was completely engulfed in smoke, smelled kinda like oil, checked the turbo on the conpressor side little to no oil residue found. checked hot pipe same thing, motor was rebuilt roughly 6000k miles/1 year ago, any ideas on what it could be? i'm thinking it could be the valve cover/spark plug gasket, hoping its not a piston ring but can anyone give me some insight or an opinion on what it could be and how to check it if it is a bad piston ring? my setup as far as what i think is important to know - redtop sr bc stroker kit, 262 cams, valve spring retainers, arp head studs cometic head gasket acl bearings gt2871r
edit please pm me!! |

NO KA was ever turboed from the factory not even JDM ones.
There were High Compression Single cams randomly over here but thats it. I believe a supercharged V6 was offered in some of the same trucks that the KA came in but no supercharged KAs either

My clutch has no feedback anymore and it wont shift into gears. I checked and there is fluid but it is dirty. how do i figure out which to replace, the slave cylinder or the master, and can i do it without special tools? Also, I dont have to mess with the master brake cylinder at all right?

Replace both master and slave. About $30 for both at most parts stores. If you still have issues its going to be clutch/TO bearing related.
Leave brake master alone.

I have another small question I need help with.
For some reason my headlights are stuck up. When I try to put them down manually they go down then pop back up again automatically. I'm certain the fuses are fine, the motor is fine, obviously because it's working automatically. It's just not going down when I turn the headlights off. Anyone have a clue why?

did you push the button on the left side of the steering wheel which keeps the headlights up after you turn them off?

Anyway yeah replace them, you should remove the bleeder block at the same time if you have already done so. Bleed the system. tighten everything up and top it off if needed, then drive. Quote:

I'm running 8mm spacers in the front of my S14
Front inner fender linings removed, and hammered/rolled in front I tried to switch to 10mm spacers in the front this morning, and suddenly I'm rubbing tire to fender under regular braking, only on the driver side. It's wierd because it's only my driver's side, not passenger I switched back to my 8mm spacers and no problems again. Which part of the fender do I need to roll/hammer more to stop the tire rubbing under regular braking? Front of fender? Rear of fender? Will rubbing occur under turns? Thanks in advance, peace.

I don't think it's the wiring harness, because my S14 is green, and I put touchup paint on the underside of front fenders after the hammering/rolling (Had some very small paint cracks in the inner metal lip of front fenders)
After driving for 10 minutes with my 10mm spacers, the driver's side tire has some green paint on the sidewall of the tire. Wiring harness has been completely tucked and ziptied up to as close as the body as possible. I only rub the harness when I do full lock left turns (usually when I exit my garage or pull into parking spots). This is kinda strange to me because I'm not super slammed. Here are some pictures of my front driver's side fender setup. Front tire is 225/45/17 with +17 offset -8mm = +9 Edit: hmm I checked again this morning, and I have less than 2 fingergap's worth of space from fender to tire, so I guess this is why even with the extra 2mm it's rubbing.
