Origin streamline is sort of similar. Has the little side vent things. My origin stuff fit damn good.

but it has the vent in between the headlights.

True. Seems decently subtle to me though.

How tall is a pignose lip? I'm thinking about running my stock S14 front bumper as a spare bumper on my S14, but the SE lip is only 3 inches tall and it doesn't line up too well with my Origin sideskirts. So I was wondering if the pignose lip is taller than 3 inches to make the bumper hang a little lower. Maybe someone has theirs laying around and they can measure it for me or something.

hard to say, gotta play it by ear really. you do have a vacuum bleeder of sorts right? That helps tremendously.

You can use S14 brake pads for Z32 brakes, yes or no?

[MadScientist]

Looks like a custom straight pipe. From what I see, I can't see the bulge that the end of a Spec II has where it goes from 3" to 4". Also, apparently a 2JZ? So it'll sound different than KA or SR.

I know nothing about machine washing floor mats... But there is spray and soaps out there that will remove most stains. Just take a brush to it and brush the hell out of the mats when they're drenched in such spray or soap. That's what I did. I used some household carpet stain removing spray stuff.

Im looking into buying a two tone coupe for sale. It appears to be the stock original and rare two tone paint but for the sake of me wondering if the seller is lying and it got repainted is there a way I can look up its VIN number or something to possibly find some background information to figure out if it is an authentic 2tone or not?

[GL Chrillz]

I need to weld in part of my frame rail to replace my broken subframe bolt, and I couldn't find anyone who was willing to do it. So i'm wondering if I should buy a mig and do it myself. Would a 120v 90amp mig be able to weld this? It says they're good up to 1'2" and i think the frame rail looks around 1/8" or so. and chances are, I'll need to weld much more in the future as well.

I used to work at a dealership detailing used cars. We would spray some diluted Tide on the mats with a spray bottle, use a soft brush to get them soapy then pressure wash them (hose might work just as good). Try using stain remover on heavier stains.

I'm aware that they are different calipers but if I remember correctly, I read somewhere in this forum that S14 brake pads fit z32 calipers. Thus why I asked.

CHeck your vin plate under the hood. If its an original 2tone there should be a code like this Wk0/326 or something along those lines depending on the actual codes.

I would lean towards a 220v machine that has inert gas hookup. Most of the el cheapo welders you find in 110v are only useable for flux core Mig which is pretty crappy for automotive welding. Especially if you ever want to do thinner materials.

Amazon.com: Clarke WE6524 180EN 230-Volt Fluxcore/MIG Welder: Home Improvement

I've been using a Clarke 180en like the one in the link above for a couple years now and it has served me well.

I do not, but i have access to one
only problem is its at my work and i don't have an air compressor at home....................

i was thinking of gravity bleeding, the only reason i ask now is cause i have 1L of nice brake fluid and 2L of valvoline off the shelf fluid, so if 1L is not enough i'll wait till next year to buy more

i believe late model s14, kouki i think, came with bigger front calipers and stock rear. that might be what they meant, but z32 is a completely different mounting style than s14 and won't accept normal s14 pads

[Irresistible]

Maybe someone knows what's wrong with the ka in my s14.

Since its starting to get cold out my car idles a little rougher. Seems like every time the thermostat opens up the car wants to die out. Last year when I had a thermostat that was stuck open it would always idle rough. Other than idling rough it runs fine. Could it be my water pump going out? Or maybe bad belts because its cold? Didn't happen in the summer when it was warm out.
