perhaps you have spent too much time making that pixel car when you should of been researching

Catalytic converter back exhausts for the s13 will fit all 89-94, JDM or USDM, it doesn't matter. The exhaust systems were designed the same.
Headers though, SOHC will not fit on a DOHC
But an s13 DOHC is interchangeable with a S14 header, but things wont fit exactly right. this also depends on which header you got.
S14 exhaust is not a direct bolt on for a S13, but can be done if you don't mind cutting and welding

thanks, I was just looking for a clear cut answer. I was told by a greddy rep that the ti-c will not fit an sohc.

time to save for a nice exhaust.

for those of you that have 5-point racing harnesses, what do you do about your big WHANG interfering with the crotch-harness? i mean, do you wear non-restrictive boxers when going to race events or are briefs acceptable? what about wearing a cup? i was thinking protection would be a good thing, but then if you have your testisechles all cupped together.. it could be a recipe for disaster when you brake hard or upon impact. i am thinking boxers could be the way to go.. that way you split the impact forces in two...

just trying to be safe.. thanks guys

I don't know for sure but I bet they just always wear a cup wherever they go.

Got any more pics of the mom?



I'll say this, I've been in a decent impact in the woods with a 5 pt and it actually didn't bust the boys up.

The problem is, he does liek the forum. That's why he's bitching/complaining. Trust me, it's FUCKING annoying how slow many of the new members have become. Just further proof that No Child Left Behind didn't work.

Sell your car and get a VW.

But if you must put your car at a ride height that looks like shit, handles worse, and bumps all over the road, just take off the lower mounts, and invert them.

I like this idea. I've been trying to think of a similar setup but that sounds like it could work well if you did it right. But some kind of 170* lens might just be easier. Just a thought.

[zombiewolf513]

Sorry for double post.

I don't have these in my car, but I do wear one in a MATV I drive. I keep the crotch one a little loose so it doesn't crush my junk. If it wasnt adjustable I think I'd probably freeball it, put the harness to one side between my thigh & sack, and put deoderant there to stop the chafing.

Hey Im trying to find answers for a friend buying his daughter rims for her car. We tried looking around at all the forums and looking up all the wheelfitment for dummies threaded and posted on all the sites but we are coming up short when it comes to fitting the rims on the car. Either the offset to much not making it fit flush or its rubbing on the springs, looking for help since her bday is right around the corner and time is limited. If you can answer this please do honestly and accurate if not just dont say anything please.
She has a 1995 240sx SE, no spacers nothing stock 5 lug. He is trying to get her 18 inch volks or works preferrably 18x8 or 18x8.5 in the front if they fit with out rubbing and sit fluch with the fender and 18x9.5 or x10 for the rear and they need to sit flush with the rear panel. She has about a 1.7 drop in the front and about a 1.0 to 1.5 drop in the rear since it still in settling since the suspension is new. If you know the answers please assist us and helping him still be that super dad in his daughters eyes. Sorry he asked me to add that last part. thanks for the help everyone plus the front has a 20mm wide body kit on it I believe so please take that into play also thanks again

Am I losing my mind?

I cannot, for the life of me, find the damn plug for the electric fan on an S14. I'm almost positive someone cut it, because I can't find it for the life of me. Can anyone tell me where it is or snap a pic? I've looked alllll over on the fusebox side of the bay. Even took the bumper off and looked in there. Doubleyouteeeff

do i need new lines? are they compatible?

thanks

[Wake]

no dohc res is on the other side, lines are compatible but you need to bent them to the other side of the motor because the pumps are on opposite sides.

[Yad]

thank you guys i appreciate your help!

[mightymike130]

I guess so. Havent seen a dohc reservoire in forever. Only Sohc and SR

[ShimiBoi]

Ok, I know most ppl on here have tried these rims. Super Advan sa3r 17x7 and 8 staggered in silver or XXR 002 16x8 all around in black. What would my fellow zilvians suggest as far as weight and fitment/looks on a black s13 coupe with lowering springs? Thanks

[thestreetzking]

so.. heres my question..
FIXED

I was thinking of using this Drift Innovations HD170 Stealth Camera and mounting it at the head of the weather vane

you aint been in a racecar for years, lol.
I would assume that the hip straps would help hold you back.
(of course i dont have that 5th one hooked up, so i dont know.)

i used to think of this. like a little parachute on the back or some shit to keep it aiming.
but it would be so all over the place.

the only thing i could think of is to run some sort of elaborate gear off the steering mechanism somewhere..
prolly just use a wider lens.

you could probably get pics if you searched for electric fans, since thats the same plug a lot of people splice up when they put efans in.
