the shroud enclosure around the fan allows the van to create vacuum to pull air thru the radiator (it also helps to push air past the motor inside the engine bay to help cool it a bit). without the shroud, it will not create vacuum and will pull almost nothing thru the radiator.

Spend the few hundred dollars for the fan, aluminum radiator, and shroud kit with a fan controller. Dual electric fans that both run at teh same time do not draw mechanical power from the engine, ie, no parasitic drag. One can literally sit in the hottest weather bumper to bumper traffic with this set up, and not overheat, it's that effective

Looking for longest out tie rod end that’ll work on a s14. I saw a thread with the entire lengths of different nissans but I’m looking for just ends. Installed GKTeck knuckles and ran out of adjustment on my ends. Not looking for angle, just an Nissan tie rod end that will work.

Anyone with tomei 256 cams: what's your idle vacuum reading? All the threads I find are people with too low vacuum from installation errors. I wanted to see what actual readings are. Debating on a vacuum pump for the booster if it's really going to be too low. I can't imagine how bad since the 256 is super mild. Thanks in advance.

Nominally about 7" tall, 3" thick, and 20" wide, but my scale is down with my knife stuff right now and I'm too lazy to measure a photo and have no reason to contact PBM

At what point can we actually start asking 10k+ for good condition, restored and lightly modified 240s? People always harp on folks selling cars for 7k+, but just curious on other people's opinions on this one.

When inflation gets to the point people start paying it. Most people harping on prices weren't going to buy anything in the first place. Serious buyers slide into the DMs.

It’s a better thread for this question since they’ve brought up the subject of current price trends in the s-chassis community. |

Sure parts, bushings, new built engines with all new parts on them, nice clean well done paint, all that adds up to over 10k. Add the total up, insuring all parts have been replaced to new standards or cleaned to a 10/10 state. On a clean titled car, subtract 25% and that is about what it will sell for nation wide. People drive across the country for 240's if they are done right, and that one person really wants that car. Mine, when it was a beautiful BASF Onyx Red with orange pearl, a car that had been brought to the shop for work, liened on due to non payment becuase all work was not performed and owner fought and lost, was selling for 8k becuase new windows, killer paint, kouki tails...but the rub upon seeing this 8k car... The tails leaked becuase not sealed right(at a BODY SHOP), and trunk was full of water. Only steering rack, and front sway bar bushings were replaced, remainder of total kit was in the back seat. Shop had actual 3500 investment into car. I said FU to 8k and made a hard offer or 5500 on the phone. Upon inspection and seeing they lied I handed them 4500, or 1k profit. Now, that car isn't worth 1500, no matter how much money I put into it becuase even though it has a clean title, it was rebuilt(go ahead, without knowledge or declaration, LOOK at the front of the car and you will think it was never wrecked. It was rebuilt to factory standards, seams and all(front damage, core forward). Who cares, not selling, dumping enough funds to meet cause for divorce levels into it, and by the time it IS done, I'll legit be around 35k into it and done. If I sell, it's still a 1500 car, so I'll have to add parts, paint, etc up, make sure yeah its all fucking new or replaced with new, drop 25% and put it out there with a huge amount of drift tax 😅😅😅😅💀

Alright, been throwing around the idea of using Sentra SE-R Spec-V front calipers (factory brembos). I like how they're sized for a similar weighted vehicle, not super expensive, should fit most wheel applications, etc.
What I don't like is the idea of having to use rotors drilled out for 5 lug. These brakes have been around for awhile, and when guys first started using them that was the only option. Nowadays I'm wondering if there is a more elegant solution for this problem, anyone ever figure it out? I've done a little digging but can't come up with a match. The factory rotors are only 22mm thick, but decently sized, 305mm. Altima SE-R rotors are too large and too thick (26mm iirc), and everything else is either too small or too large, and that's before I even get onto rotor hat depth. For some reason tonight wilwoods website isn't loading, which is a shame because they have so much information to the public. Searched zilvia..nothing I could find, but maybe someone else knows.

Im in the processing of trying to rebuild my 3 piece wheels, and Im stuck at step 1 which is breaking the hardware loose. The nuts in the back of the face just wont break loose and I was wondering if anyone had some tips for breaking them loose. Would PB Blaster help?
I believe it is common to use locktite on the assembly hardware when building 3 piece builds, and I believe mine may be loctited. Ive read that applying heat may help. Anyone with experience please chime in.

Does anybody know the dimensions of the S13 silvia aero bumper vents? I recently purchased a Bomex bumper that looks identical to the aero bumper, and was curious if the OE vents would fit.
I know DorkiDori makes them, so I'm assuming he would know. |
