This one doesn't look near as good but thats a 52mm. Looks like theres a good bit of room left in that one

Broadfield · 02-08-2013, 06:38 PM

Looks like it shouldn't be a problem then... I would obviously mount the 62mm up front and the 52mm in the middle.

240sxracerb25 · 02-09-2013, 07:25 PM

Sounds good. Would you be able to give me an estimate on how much you'd charge for that? Thanks

For a custom one-off piece, you would be looking at around $200 for a light textured finish or $300 for a smooth finish. I don't really have any experience with that piece so I don't know if it's smooth or textured?

It would not be a shitty fiberglass piece like the one from Ebay. I would retrofit/mod your OEM piece. So it would bolt back in just like it came out of the door card. The fit and finish would obviously be OEM grade.

What is your take on XRP vs. Earl's fittings? From what I remember, you carry XRP fittings.

Correct, I'm an XRP dealer.

I had all Earls product on my SR20... very good stuff of course. The finish seems to be a little nicer on the XRP product. The weave in the braided nylon hose is also tighter than the Earls. Not sure if that really affects performance or not... like bend radius. But it looks nicer. Also, on the braided nylon hose, the XRP comes standard with the inner stainless braid. Whereas you have to step up to the Earls Pro-Lite Ultra to get that. The XRP product is generally cheaper in price across the board. XRP has some unique product that others don't and most of their product is NHRA approved.

Sounds good. I may be hitting you up when I am ready to order up all the stuff to make my turbo lines. Thanks.

Awesome, just let me know if you have anymore questions in the meantime.

I was looking into getting a dash cam in case I ever got into a accident to cover my ass, since people around here don't know how to drive. I was just curious if you knew any decent cheap ones by any chance before I started doing more research.

No idea man, I have no experience with dash cams.

Whats good actuators for installing on a manual lock setup s13 hatch. Any writeups on the install of them as well?

The premium DEI actuators I sell are the best I have run across. They also have the most mounting options and are the slimmest. There's really not much to write-up.

I am running 18x11 +30 with a 285 tire on a 25mm pull. With the ride height I'm at I had to hammer the crap out of the upper/inner wheel housing and notch the lower control arm.

I finally had a box come in that's big enough for those overs... so I'll be shipping them out soon!

Hey, I want to buy one of those Door mounted cup holders for my s13. Where do you get them from or do you rig them up yourself? Please PM me

I have no idea what you are referring to.... I assume you are thinking of someone else!?!

e5s4y · 02-28-2013, 01:48 PM

hey broadfield, i managed to get an entire s13 manual seatbelt conversion (A-pillar, B-pillar, seatbelts, and headliner) for free from a canadian 240, but my only problem is that the driver side A-pillar had a gauge pod screwed in to it (which I hate). how would you recommend sealing the holes? I can get pics of them if you like to show the size, but id say small enough to barely get a pinky in.

Damn, you are a lucky bastard... I haven't been able to find a coupe headliner for the manual belt conversion. I have everything else though.

Anyway, how I would do it... which is the right way, is to fill the holes with 3M 34240 or Norton 5 minute Speed Grip. Prep the openings on the inside edge of the holes and backside of the panel with 80 grit or harsher. Use masking tape to tape over the front of the holes. Then use the glue on the backside to fill the holes and let it spill over around the holes to give it more area to bond. Let it dry then pull the tape off. You can now sand the front side if the glue sticks up at all past the front of the panel. If it sags for some reason you can use some body filler and sand it to level it off. Once you are happy with that use some aerosol 39813 SEM Chip Guard to texture the entire panel. Then paint to match your OEM color.

Any thoughts on a honda s2000? Ever worked on one of them before?

dudermagee · 03-01-2013, 03:58 PM

Could you give me a rough idea on how much it would cost me to go all XRP fittings similar to your setup?

godrifttoday · 03-01-2013, 04:01 PM

I'm looking for good speakers for my car budget 500 I have 05 altima, what u recommend? What head unit , nothing too fancy but that does the job well

What do you want to know about it?

Probably around $3500-$4000... the clamshell setup adds a TON of cost. The HS-79 hose is also very expensive. However, you could do the HS-79 hose, but with crimp JIC hose ends. That would save you a lot of loot.

On my setup for example, the two radiator hoses would cost you around $600... and that's at jobber pricing. That would include:

(3ft) -16 HS-79 hose
(4) Double o-ring -16 aluminum weld-on ports
(2) 90 degree -16 crimp clamshell hose ends
(2) straight -16 crimp clamshell hose ends
(4) -16 crimp sleeves
(4) -16 clamshells

So is the $500 budget for just the speakers or the speakers and head unit? Because the way you worded your sentence it reads as $500 just for speakers.

I don't know how you don't have one yet. I will make one right now.

^^ just a general opinion. I know you'be worked on a shit ton of different cars, so thought maybe you would be a good person to ask lol. Like anything, even an opinion on the interior or electronics lol.

lalo167 · 03-04-2013, 11:53 AM

What materials would you recommend to refinish my interior pieces. Just how you did for this customer. I also want to do my center console and shifter/radio trim. Will I use the same stuff?

OutlawLui · 03-04-2013, 12:26 PM

On a Oxygen sensor, is it normal to have continuity between the Ground wire and 12v wire?

*just the sensor, not connected to the harness that is.
