It's easy it just takes time and some money.

By a wastegate with a vband flange, send your oem manifold in with the flange to have it welded on, then put it on.

When you buy the wastegate they have different options for the springs/psi. Tial MVS 38mm are great for the oem manifold. They are tiny, compared to other wastegates.

Edit, don't forget to weld the internal gate shut Haha.

What is the exact procedure for tightening the alternator belt? (talk to me like I'm an 8 yr old)

Yes you'll need to loosen that, and then on the side of the bracket you'll need to loosen the nut on front, and trun the long bolt on the side of it to tension it. Lock in the little (is it 12mm or 14mm i can't recall) set nut and then retighten the large one.

Here's the bleeder (I believe)

Does it just pop/screw off?? would try
but I'm scared of breaking it

Cut/take that little rubber cover off, and then access the bleeder.

I'll admit, that was a pretty good answer to ChiBoy's attempt at trolling, as he obviously didn't know how to do it either (the issue with forum coolguys is that they blab without knowing, so props to you for calling his shit out)

With that said, I don't have any experience doing the R32 setup, but the E brakes are kinda clunky for sure. If you do find out let a moderator know so they could update a faq as more solid info is what this place needs for sure.

To run it on your stock manifold, you'll need to have it welded on. I got mine done at JPC Fabrication as have some others. 100 dollars, and no more stupid boost issues. PM me if you need more info.

Im getting new rotors and im wondering what is better for track and drifting, drilled and slotted or dimpled and slotted? Also are password jdm rotors any good?

BOROSUN · 09-13-2011, 01:28 AM

j hooks rotors.

that or blanks with hawks or porterfield would be better.

JaeTea · 09-13-2011, 04:19 AM

Have a belt squeal on start up. It also does it if I turn on the heater and the lights or the rear defroster with the lights or the heater with the rear defroster.

Went and tightened the alternator belt and the squealing got ALOT worse and lasted longer. Plus the alternator pulley was burning hot.

I'm lost.

check your alternator. the pulley shouldnt be that hot.

seems like a slipping belt is causing the pulley to heat up from friction

Why do my gauge light and left turn signal, turn on when i step on the brakes? Lights are off. S13 BTW.

hartig · 09-13-2011, 09:04 PM

is it a terrible idea to make my own gasket for my turbo inlet/outlet? t25 on a redtop.. i have this gray gasket maker material and i'm just wondering if its worth using, or if i should get some gaskets from a 300zx.. obviously i'd rather not spend money if i dont have to

SLiDe_WaYz · 09-13-2011, 09:10 PM

Do you NEED a T28 clocking kit to run a t28 on a S13 SR?

just get the cheapest rotors you can, that are solid and vented. no need for cross drill or slots

I know what it looks like lol, I just didnt want to fork out 150$ for the kit if it wasn't necessarily needed.

if youre talking about that silicone stuff DO NOT use it. if it's the fiber material it will work as long as it has a metal center. the other shit will just burn up. that metal sheet sandwiched in between the 2 fiber layers is important for high heat.

if you have access to machining tools or have the dimensions ready then you shouldnt have a hard time getting a machine shop to make one for you.

sr20sean · 09-14-2011, 12:38 AM

does the signal wire for the maf go TO the ecu or does it come FROM the ecu?

not sure if i should check at the maf or right near the ecu to make sure the wiring is ok.

Anyone happen to have the dimensions ? I can head to a shop today for one to be made.

Maf has Power/Ground/Signal. The wire connects from MAF to the ECU, but it's the maf that is sending the signal to the ecu.

EC section, FSM.

I'd sooner just buy it to have it done, then buy the material, setting up the machine cutting it etc etc. Unless it's ALL free

Got a tranny fluid leak where the transmission meets the engine block.

Is this an easy fix or something I'm gonna just have to deal with.

*Wake* · 09-14-2011, 12:59 PM

Is dropping your tranny easy to you?

It all depends on your care level

Aside from the rear valve cover leaking, any other fix requires dropping the transmission.

Lukasss · 09-14-2011, 07:08 PM

Anybody know the thread pitch and depth of the bleeder screw for an OEM S13 clutch slave cylinder? I don't have one handy to measure.

Thanks.

Prime · 09-15-2011, 03:38 AM

Looks like someone dropped my intake manifold off the workbench. Dent in the side, and the rise from it is on the mating surface. Hit it with the dremel and a good flat block with 400 grit. This is on the upper plenum where the runners bolt to the lower. Looks good to me, but I do have a spare.

Swap or trust the gasket to seal?

mvang44 · 09-15-2011, 12:42 PM

I have seen the 180sx type X spoiler but recently seen a hatch with a bigger on?,is there actually a big one? anyone knows where to find a big type x spoiler for the 180sx? If so get back at me! need more info, tell me what you know!

if you have a spare one, why not just swap it for your own sake? no point taking the manifold off twice

I was gasket matching it. I don't want to redo the work. But better safe than sorry in this case, I guess.

Was wondering how he got his winshield wiper like that? did he just remove one and put a bigger wiper blade?
