How does height to fender have anything to do with wheel width?

It will still be a 5x114.3 lug pattern. The axle/diff swap only changes the axle and diff. The hubs are unchaged.

do Nissan Altima upper and lower injector o-rings work on an s14 sr20det?

Teddy · 03-11-2010, 03:02 PM

I just installed my S13 DCC, and it stays on when I press the Off button. It still blows air. What's the reasoning, anyone know?

How the hell do you remove the stock e-brake boot? I've been twisting, pushing, pulling, sweating and it still wont budge!

Did you use the JDM Blower motor speed sensor? On mine I had to trim a few of the "fins". They touched the metal tube inside the blower box which constantly grounded it and made it run all the time. It might be as easy as trimming...

A 240SX one. Use a 5lug S14 rotor. The rear brake rotor sizes are the same.

TurboSE · 03-12-2010, 08:50 AM

how much size difference is there between a Z32 rear caliper and an S13 rear caliper?

TurboSE · 03-12-2010, 10:07 AM

Buying a used OS Giken clutch, I know it's rebuildable...is there any damage I should look for that isn't fixable?

I just bought another s13 w/ rb20det and I'm just wondering what oil filter and spark plugs do I get? If I was to go to kragen, autozone, napa or carquest? Thanks

Did I say measure the "heigth"?

I said measure from hub to where the fender sits.....horizontally. Like invisible line that goes from fender to the floor. measure the hub to the invisible line. Does that help you?

im having a problem with my redtop, it runs great but the other day it started smoking out the exhaust like it was on fire. at idle it doesnt do it but after running it hard it smokes pretty bad while its idling at a stop light. it exhaust smells normal but its like a greyish color. i have search the forums and i think the seals in my turbo are going out, any one have this problem before?

allntrlundrgrnd · 03-14-2010, 07:56 PM

is it worth it to get stance gr+pros over +'s?

helper spring really help?

Tearlessj · 03-15-2010, 02:50 AM

On a S14, there is this valve type thing connected to a cable on the rear heater hose. I removed this all together when reinstalling the motor. Does anyone know of any ill effects or what this part does?

The valve type thing is mounted on the firewall.

I don't need help fitting wheels. You gave a poor explanation saying "hub to fender" nothing about horizontally. I thought you had some bizarre ratio for determining fitment.

Your manner still has nothing to do with fitment.

I believe this is to let "hot" coolant into your heater core so you have heat in the cabin. That is the only function I could determine when cleaning up my bay. If you remove it, hot coolant should be flowing through you heater core all the time. So, the heat would always be on?

diomedes · 03-15-2010, 11:35 AM

Hey Tearlessj, who is that chick in your avy?

*DALAZ_68* · 03-15-2010, 11:58 AM

gonna post this question here instead of making a new thread...
heres my situation

at the track...transmission is no bueno

the shifter goes in and out of every gear, 0 resistance...clutch pedal goes in and out normally, went under the car, and clutch fork engages and disengages as normal...

heres the wierd part, if you put the car in gear (1-5), normally, if you were to push it in revense, there would be that resistance...right?

if i put my car in reverse with it in gear, itll move backwards with 0 resistance...

my thoughts, and others, think , the actual shaft that goes into the motor snapped after overheating...

cars originally an MT chassis, has its damper box still...doubt that helps...

so...my question is...is it the tranny shaft that snapped...of did the clutch give way...

mind you i do not know what clutch i have...all i know is, that everyone that dorve my car agrees its not stock, but it was grabbing great thru out the day till this happened...

(yes it was at the track not the streets)

edit:

please note: the motor still starts, so that tells me its not the flywheel since the starter uses that to crank...

and when the car is on, i dont hear any clanking in the bell housing or anything, leading me to believe that it is the shaft, not the clutch...but im unsure, just need help here...

???

no, unless you get the gr+pros for the same price as gr.

if you want to go low you'll end up completely compressing the spring then removing it

s14_driver · 03-15-2010, 01:00 PM

hammer the fender flat, roll the fender, run more camber, run a smaller profile tire or more stretch

last resort would be frp overfenders or flares
