Suspension Q!
Hi there guys,
I hit my car a back while, now before i head back to Curacao from Holland (student) I'm shipping the parts from USA to Curacao cause unfortunately we don't have that many parts in Curacao. From the picture #2 I already have on my list, the lower control arm (bent) , the tension rod that is clearly broken, the inner and outer tie rod just to be sure because i think it also bent. Car is a (JDM 180sx hatch 1995 sr20det) But on the first picture that i posted i want to know.....if i buy the aftermarket lower arm, will i just have to take the sway bar off?....because to me it doesn't seem that it would fit on it. The marked space is what's got me worried cause in the godspeed lower control arm i don's see the sway bar crossing? Do you guys have any tips that i can take along? Would really appreciate it And here the pics! I took a picture so u guys can see how badly i hit the car. |

I don't even have a thermostat in my KA. The only time it gets to full operating temp in in traffic or at the track. I'm running a big koyo rad, stock clutch fan. Mine runs real cold most of the time so 170 should be fine.

so i got my sr all wired up this week , ran vacuum line from my waste gate to my hot pipe , my fpr to mani t'd off to my boost gauge.not using a bov so i capped that on the throttle body. i turn the car on and it idles like a rotary and pours black smoke and reeks of fuel and will not rev when i move the throttle and if it does its delyed and super jumpy .
i took my intake manifold of a few moths ago along with my iacv.i did not use new gaskets i just put it back together with the old ones wich seemed in good shape.i removed the heater core, looped the coolant lines ,put on a new elbow with the old o2sensor. i need to get any info on the following things 1.why is it idling like shit and pouring black smoke that smells strong of fuel? 2.im gonna replace the intake gaskets and iacv gaskets , could this have really been leaking enough to cause this issue? 3.im gonna check the plugs to see if a injector is messed up ,they worked when i parked it a few months ago so what could have caused this if it is bad. i had my fuel lines hooked up wrong on the fuel rail and fpr,so i switched them back over and it started but did said issue , could there be fuel in the motor ? i removed the spark plugs for 3 days before putting new ones in so i thought that would have let all gas evaporate . what should i do? thanks any help will be good. |

photo and car is deolio, hope you dont mind.
just using the car as it has a sil front and i do not. lol. my small question is; do you think the side marker looks good on the coupe or out of place? i am thinking about doing this before i put the fenders on the car for the conversion. YES i do like the look of it, BUT i have saved myself from a few blind spot crashes because I notice it on either mirrors or side markers and honk or get out of the way. |

i see your point on flip fronts, but doesnt that look off on a sil front?
the way the corners wrap around give it enough going on up front, which is why i thought of pushing it to the fender. |

Don't know about drag racing but on a road racing car they are used to keep sudden lateral weight transfers to a minimum. Obviously not meant for a street car. Metal bushings are great for suspension articulation and feedback. They do required periodic maintenance and are wear items. They don't make your car "bump and jump". That's probably poor suspension geometry/setup coupled with cheap coilovers. I daily drove on spherical bushings for a couple of years on my last s14 and it drove well. The Skullworks s13.5 that place 2nd at last year's Import Tuner FR Shootout: solid mounts - check spherical bushings - check garbage coilovers? - hmmm, no |

The only reason for them in a USDM front is because the normal blinkers are forward visible only.

Installing a pair of e-fans for my radiator. The radiator is still in the car, fully hooked up, along with my AC condenser. Is there a way to mount my e-fans using a plastic rod mounting kit without pulling out the radiator or the AC condenser?

Lift the radiator out of the feet at the bottom and tilt it back. Just mounted my PS cooler to my condenser, had to get my arms in there to put the push backs on.

Oh, no, it's a pair of engines that need to be torn apart and have new RINGS put in. The engine idles funny because OIL on the cylinder walls is corrupting the FUEL/AIR charge and does not burn right. The engine is trying to work harder to overcome this corruption with a higher idle and by constantly adjusting the idle higher to work. Cheapest way to fix this is tear the motor apart, buy new gaskets, replace the rings, hone the cylinders, and put it all back together. Better way: New gaskets, better cams, align bored and honed, bored .030 over, cylinders crosshatched, gapless rings, new rods, you know, go fast hard parts that will cost you about a month to three months salary

I have a 90 240 with a bad idle problem. i I've replaced PCV valve, cleaned the idle air control valve, and cleaned the throttle body. And for a while the idle air control valve worked fine but then valve got clogged up again. Is there anything that could be clogging up the idle air control valve? i also have a video of my ECU code. could anyone help?

I have a pair of corbeau A4's with corbeau bottom mounting brackets with sliders. I am thinking about getting Bride MO rails but how much shorter are they? Does anyone have reference pictures of just the MO rails installed? yes i have searched and saw a few pictures but have not found anything giving me a good idea of how much shorter they would be than the corbeau rails. Thank you in advance.

Does anybody know if the JDM s13 power window regulators are the same as the USDM ones? My driver side regulator broke and I can't seem to find one locally that isn't absurdly over priced. I can get a JDM passenger power window regulator shipped to my door for $50 bucks but I have no idea if the JDM passenger regulator is the same as the USDM driver regulator. If anybody can shed light on whether they are the same or not it would be much appreciated.

This may be too specific but my passenger side, rear coilover will not go near as low as the driver side. This are PBM Comp coils and the driver side is like a quarter inch from the wheel and the passenger side is about half an inch from the wheel. However on the driver side coil there is still an inch of thread to go up and Im all the way threaded to the top on the passenger side. Im sorry if this is unclear at all, basically the coil wont go low at all.

I would try adjusting them when they are off the car first and make sure they all measure out similar max and min heights. Then call the coilover company if you notice an inconsistency.

Quick question (no offense to anyone) I hope someone can help.
Q: Are the questions on here getting dumber? I feel like the same shit is getting asked over and over by different people.
