however, for positions, you have to look around. The way the PDF version is makes it really confusion but sometimes the table is on a different page

like for interior wiring, it will label all the harnesses and units on, say, page 200, but the actual names and numbers will be on page 198. (just made up those page #s)

thanks for the help man! i guess ill have to do some more looking around in the pdf's.

I know its not a Vac leak. I checked that already.

Could this be caused by not having enough engine grounds?

Do you have a bov? Is it vented?

I do have a HKS vented BOV, and I know that can cause an issue. But I've had this exact same intercooler kit/BOV on 2 other SR engines in the past and have never had this problem with either of them.

Sorry to cut in line, but would a d-max wing or supermade wing for s13 coupe cover the stock SE wing holes?

what are some ways to cause a turbo not to spool?? car has a bad exhaust leak from the manifold. all 4 bolts are there on the turbo to manifold.... but even if it was loose as hell woudnt the turbo spool a little? the turbo doesnt spool at all. aftermarket manifold,guy said it was 3 trim turbo(doesnt no shit bout cars so idk) midmount setup. going to trade the guy but the no spool is scaring me. could it be something inside the motor o rjust a bad exhaust leak at the 4 bolt flange or bad wastegate??

Okay, so for the last 2 weeks, I've been finding my clutch pedal stuck to the floor as I get into the car. I usually pump the clutch to get some pressure back into it. It'll work for a while and then I'll find it on the floor again. I've checked the master cylinder and it doesn't lack any fluid. I've bled the lines once before. So today I was getting ready to leave for school and the pedal was on the floor again. I gave it a bunch of pumps but it wouldn't come back up. I can turn on the car after pressing the clutch pedal the few centimeters it goes before being completely on the floor, but I cannot shift from neutral to first gear or any gear for the matter. Is it time to replace the clutch?

How's your fluid?

Is the slave cylinder leaking?

fluid level on the master cylinder is perfect. I'll check the slave when I go home after class.

noob mistake...i put my poly bushings on my fca backwards, and i cant get 1 side of the bushing out lol. i used a blow dryer to heat up the grease enough to get the one side out, but the other wont budge. any suggestions?

does the car run basically fine, just no boost? that happened to me not too long ago. the bar on the actuator the clip had rusted off, and the bar popped off. i bought a new little half moon clip thing, put the bar back on and it was good as new.

i didnt see your post sorry man! lol i cant find them in there though?

the threaded inserts appear to be steel though. i need aluminum.
in fact i dont see anything on that site thats made from aluminum lol

[Wake]

LOL maybe thats why I dont get thanked. I didnt even really look at the site.

I just googled "weld tabs". didnt know you were looking for threaded.

lol i looked at it while i was thanking you. then i was like wait this all looks like steel haha they do have threaded inserts but i dont think that will work for what i need it for. they look more like weld in inserts rather than press in.

ok either im stupid, or they didnt label this part in the fsm. but what do i torque it to? http://i56.tinypic.com/20gfdqo.gif circled in red

anyone know where to order new axles for not rape price

whats the word on the 70 dollar jawns i keep finding? seems like auto zone quality?

i suspect i have a bad cv joint on my drivers side

O'Reilly's has reman for $70 in the end, with new boots so they don't tear on low cars

Figured i should ask here, I have been searching and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. I have an s13 with a stock ka24de, my fan shroud some how broke and when i was trying to get it back home the wiring harness got tangled up in the fan now it wont start. I replaced the ignition coil and still no spark, tried my ecu in another car and it started no problem, I was wondering if any one knew which wires are supposed to have power on the power transistor, or atleast thats what i think its called. its this thing





Its has 3 wires does any one know if the white is supposed to get power?

sorry don't know to much about nissan so im really stuck and not sure what to do all the wires seem to be good still.
Oh yeah also checked all my fuses and relays and there all good.

what are the 3 colors? white is usually signal

[r0g3r16]

White black and green. Green is the only 1 getting any power. There's no spark out the ignition coil

[takechan]

ok quick question. So I am pretty sure the throw out bearing is going out. My car has a supercharger/straight cut sound that goes away when i push in the clutch. my question is how long can I drive it like this? There are no problems shifting just annoying as hell. I also drive nice and easy only around town.
thanks

[sr20sean]

Green is power black is ground and white would be signal to ecu. If there's nothing at the white wire that may be shot.

There's several ways to answer this... how much do you care? My friends subaru had a shot throw out bearing and he drove that thing HARD every day for over a year. It really is just up to how well you want to treat the pressure plate

[r0g3r16]

There is no power in the white wire would i have to replace the engine harness?

[sr20sean]

in the wiring diagrams it tells you the colors and a number next to the switches and i suspect
there is a table using the numbers somewhere i just cant seem to find it.

any help would be appreciated!

The color you can figure out easily. The number corresponds to the plugon the harness layout page you wil see how it might say e22 or f18 etc. That number goes to that plug to tell you how it should be pinned and what part it goes to. It should be the last section in eectrical in the FSM. Hope that helps!

Im on my phone so I can't get a wiring diagram but usually the white wire goes from the transistor to the ecu. So if you check for power when its unplugged you will get nothing since the power is coming from the transistor not going to it. If you can strip a little wire away while its plugged in and see what when cranking. If this sounds confusing sorry im tired lol

[r0g3r16]

lol its all good thanks for the help that does make sense. i was checking power on the wire but only with the key on never when it was being cranked, i'ma get some one to help me out tomorow and ill check while cranking thanks again.

[sr20sean]

Lol yea it will only send a signal when its plugged in and when its being used lol

[Jonathong]

So I just got my circuit sports clear covers, and would like to know which is the best sealer to use to seal it back up? Also how long has your clear covers stayed sealed with no problems using that sealer?

[Vitzio240sx]

Question, what hose is supposed to feed in the feeder next to the bypass hose, i put a picture so i make myself clear. I removed the heater and plugged up that feeder with a vacuum plug but recently my car has been overheating and i always find coolant around that area. So question is what can i use to close it up without worrying about a leak. and what can i use to find out where the leak is coming from? thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!
