Leaky Injector
|
Hello, I am finishing up my s13 sr20. Before putting the exhaust side on I noticed a tube leading into the bottom of the motor. After some research I figured this is the crankcase breather. Mine is super loose and I can pull it out with my hand. How do I secure this so it doesn't wiggle out with engine vibration? Also do I run hose from that to the right side of the T on the valve cover?

if you need to secure it, you can always use super glue (and im not joking). being that its a perfect surface to a perfect surface, it will be a damn near permanent bond. or you can use a tiny bit of JB weld around the mouth of the hole to secure the pipe in place.... OR you can use urethane for windshields (this will hold up extremely well to the heat). |

My corolla's bolt pattern is 4x100, and im picking up a set of wheels that ate 4x98. I've heard of people using wobble bolts to fit wheels with a mm or two difference in bolt pattern. Can this be done and is it any less safe? Or should i just have the holes redrilled?

Don't fuck with it. Use copper Permatex. The shit is made for anything from valve cover gasket to exhaust joints. It works. That other stuff? Super glue is for the house, and JB weld, well, many have used it on many things only to see it fail except for one place...bedding a rifle scope rail to the receiver of a scoped rifle. Done

But you must must must MUST get hubcentric rings to ensure your wheel's centerbore is exactly centered on your car's hub. Normal acorn studs/bolts can get away without hubcentric rings because the lugs center the wheel practically dead-on. But with wobbles, the lugs can no longer center the wheel. It has to be centered via the hub.

Anyone on here can chime in on the quality of a super doof aero kit ? I've heard hit or miss things about the fitment being spot on to being somewhat off

Aiv (pair) delete
i recently removed the whole aiv system off my 91 240sx super hicas and it seems to have lost top end power. i made sure to plug the two small vacuum hoses off the bottom, plugged the pipe that came off the manifold, and plugged off the top that goes to the air filter. it seems like it takes it forever to start building rpm after about 4k i’m not sure what could cause this and i really don’t wanna put the system back on because it takes up so much space please help

I have an exhaust leak on cylinder 3 of the turbo manifold on my ka-t. I'm currently running the ISR MLS gasket, it's on it's 2nd or 3rd use. My question is should I go with another MLS(would probably go with a Cometic this time) or should I get the Mr Gasket copper gasket? I'm currently leaning towards the copper

Hello this is probably a really dumb question but I can't find the answer. Are the S13 Ka sohc and S13 dohc OEM air box ( or air box cleaner ) the same ? Will a S13 DOHC fit a SOHC intake ?

Probably easier to reattach the lines using vice grip pliers and hope you never have to touch it again. |

So I know (or think I know) I busted a bearing in my trans. Dropped the engine and trans (sr20det, standard nissan 5 speed) to check it all out but ran out of time and wont be able to take a closer look for another couple days. Im fairly certain its my input shaft bearing (makes a knocking noise with engine running and clutch engaged, push the clutch in the knock goes away), but im open to experienced suggestions as to what else it could be. My main question is how would i be able to tell if the bearing is bad? will it just move around on the shaft and have more play than its supposed to or is there another visual indicator? Just dont want to replace it and reinstall the engine and trans to discover I didnt fix it when I fire it up..

The biggest problem is that you don't have any audio on your issues. That would help. Have you googled/youtube'd/etc a bad throw-out bearing sound to see if it coincides with your sound?

Ghetto? Sure. 100% correct? No. But it's not going to effect how it works and saves you a ton of time. Quote:

Had a bad feeling thats what it would be... Will it be immediately apparent if the bearings are shot? Ive got a suspicion once I break open the trans I wont have any idea what im looking at. Is rebuild kit worth it or just find another 5spd locally is my best bet?

Nothing beats the experience of rebuilding your first transmission. If you can find a replacement for under $300 ( good luck, got one for $250 almost 10 years ago. ) then go for it. Otherwise, if someone is selling one personally for under $200 it probably is unknown condition, or beat to shit. It varies greatly. If you want to invest the time and money, there are plenty of sources of information on how to rebuild a tranny. In my opinion, it's well worth doing it yourself.

So I need a new passenger side axle. I recently replaced the drivers side, and at first got a new one from AZ and it instantly clicked. Went back and got the reman'd and all is well. Unfortunately no one has the reman'd passenger side. I've read that j30 axles can be used, and a reman'd passenger side j30 is available. I just wanted to verify before I ordered. I'm referring to the 3x2 bolt pattern. I know the earlier ones have the Rzeppa joint and are superior, but I'd have to find the 5x1 output shafts. I need a new axle as soon as I can get it

Is a junkyard trip out of the question? Stock axles are great. S13, S14, and 3x2 J30 should all be fair game. I've had terrible luck with auto parts store crap.
