what is my best bet for repairing this rust without going to a shop? Pictures by Fam1ne - Photobucket

Are the fuel hardlines necessary on the ka24de intake manifold? I recently started smelling fuel when my heater is on, new o-rings so i checked out the lines and they really look original lol so i was wondering if one piece would work and say bye to the hardlines and just run a single hose

thank for the help

You could, just make sure the hose is rated for Fuel Injection and that you use the correct clamps

ok this is kinda odd and i just realized it...

apparently my AC likes to cut off when i set it to the max number (in my S13) it works fine and blows cold from 1 to 3...click it to 4 boom, the AC light turns off on the button and moments later the air blowing goes cabin temp instead of ridiculous cold...

thoughts?

Got a spare control unit you can try? Make sure it's not the unit itself?

I'd say it's either the entire unit (like Wayne says) more than anything.

Hey guys. Been looking all over the place without any concrete answers. Going to be replacing my sway bar bushings, but I'm having trouble finding the HICAS rear sway bar bushings. Has anyone come up with a viable solution? Do the universal 21mm bushings work? Thanks.

redline240sx · 07-19-2011, 12:35 PM

I can't seem to figure out why my car isn't turning over...

Car is getting spark, fuel, and cranking strong with a brand new battery.

If the car would sit for a couple of days and I decide to start it will start but cut right off asap. But, then it would just crank after that. HELP!!!!!Please!!

Thank you

EsChassisLove · 07-19-2011, 01:49 PM

Check fuel pressure and timing

chiboy002 · 07-19-2011, 07:46 PM

tips on cleaning the trunk interior panels/carpet of dirty oil?

a gallon burst in my trunk this weekend without me knowing till later in the day so it soaked in pretty good but i have cat litter getting most of it out.

Im thinking dawn soap/degreaser/carpet cleaner (oxyclean or something) and then letting em sit in the sun but the panels are cardboard or something so idk

At that rate, you should also look into new rod and main bearings, new front and rear main seals as well.

Check your couplers for leaks.

If you use OXyclean or Superclean, you can't let it sit to long or it will stain the carpeting as well. It will work though, as will simple green.

I'm running an S14 SR with a GT28RS on the stock tune. I'd like to turn the boost up to 12 PSI; do I need to adjust my wastegate at all?

I wouldn't change anything until you have the ECU and Fuel ready for the increased HP.

teh smithers · 07-19-2011, 11:46 PM

@codyace Assume I have all necessary fuel and ECU mods to support 15-18 PSI. What kind of wastegate adjustment would be needed?

With some small modifications, q45 and maximas. Goto your favorite search engine and perform a search on rb20 replacement tps for more info.

Boost controller, (manual or electronic) or if you don't want to use one, an adjustable internal gate.

nismonismo240sx · 07-20-2011, 12:55 PM

So I just installed some pbm adjustable tension control rods. The steering is way more responsive and even effected my braking.

My concern is that when I brake and pass by potholes or cracks on the road. It makes creaking and cracking sounds. Way more than before. Just wanted to know if anyone has tried these and had the same results...
