I've been doing some research and I'm thinking I should go with a 10w-30 now, I was thinking about going with this Torco A161033CE SR-1 100% Synthetic Engine Oil 10W-30 1 Liter.

So my questions are: Would it be better to upgrade to a 10w-30 especially with a long trip ahead of me? Is Torco 100% synthetic a good choice to go with?

Thanks for reading!

will the 95-97 j30 output shafts (6bolt) fit on a 92-94 j30 vlsd (5bolt) if they will, will normal s13 output shafts work? PM me if you have an answer

The collars are important in keeping the spring seated as well. Do you need both collars on to pand bottom? I would...as I've seen many times wehre the single collars have walked themselves loose and adjusted settings (unless they have a set screw or clamp built into them).

Derped
I meant drooping the spring, my bad.

And, assuming this guy is removing them cause he can't go low enough with them on (hardly makes a difference) the perches won't go anywhere, if its locked against the bracket.

hey guys i was reading through a couple clutch adjustment threads and everyone mentions when lowering the clutch pedal
i have to just loosen the bolt spin the fork then tighten the lock bolt and put the bolt&cotter pin in,

my question is how do i spin the fork when its wedged in-between the clutch pedal? pic is my clutch pedal , it sits way
too high up like im driving a truck, i want it about halfway low so it engages/disengages faster for me, thanks in
advance

edit: i took the cotter pin and bolt off but the fork doesn't come off enough
for me to be able to spin it , the pedal is in the way. (s14 KADE, Original 5spd)

You spin the rod. It should be knurled.

You are an idiot. If you cant get your answer from this then you need to kill yourself.

(EDIT: And apparently the '97-01 Q45...!!!)

If you can’t find a wrecked 240SX with an LSD, for cost reasons I would recommend getting an LSD from an Infiniti J30:

The one you want is '95 or '96 - Easiest install, requires no modifications...

Pre '95 has the wrong output flanges (see the solution below), and I’m unsure about the fitment of the '97 diff (see the exceptions below).

ALL J30's had an LSD...that's why they're easy to find and you can't go wrong (i.e. get an open one by mistake as you can with a wrecked 240) The flanges for the halfshafts (the shafts that go to the wheels) are the same pattern as the S13 and S14 for the ’95 and ’96 J30's.

The '92-‘94 J30s used a different bolt pattern on the hlaf-shafts but can be used if you also use the J30 axles...

Did you not say 95-97? I swear 95-96 is in between 95-97.
So yes you can interchange flanges in between any of the diffs. Therefore As long as the cover matches the car you can swap flanges/R&P/Axles, as long as they match each other.

no i asked if i have a 92-94 j30 diff on my car already which has a 5bolt pattern output shafts (the part that connects the axle to the diff) can i use the output shafts from a 95-97 j30 diff which has a 6bolt pattern and if they are interchangable will stock s13 output shafts work as well. i know the thread pitch on the end of the axle is the same and same size i gives a fuck about that

[spectre14]

just picked up s14a and need to swap out all the shit rusted brakes on it..
so was wondering if anybody recommends brembo or ebc pads? anybody had bad experience with them with warping discs on high temps or eating through rotor quickly? im thinking to just use the car on a weekend and some track time, and was looking for something similar in performance to hawk hps pads..

Your fucking retarded, Sorry I can no longer help. And I hope nobody else does either.

I have answered your question twice. Feel free to jump off a cliff at your earliest convenience.

(when did I even mention thread pitch?)

Spend 12 bucks on a new one and don't worry about it.

Reinstall it right where it came out, and then rebleed the clutch.

Why? And where are you finding 12 dollar slave cylinders that are decent?

[ShadowMan]

Just finished rebuilding my motor and am curious as to the best way to break in the motor. I know there's the 2 different schools of thought, the old way and the newer break it in hard method. I want to break it in so it lasts. Your thoughts and suggestions..........

[bermeo240]

so its ok to let it leak while i put it back in?

[bllabong89]

do the rb26 valve covers bolt directly on to the rb25 and is there any benefit to the swap? I have seen a few rb25's with 26 covers.

Because it's my preference, and last I bought one was at the stealer. As often as you need to bother with them, 12 bucks isn't a big deal.

As my intial post said, reinstall, and then re bleed the system

I'm confused at what part is 12 dollars, let alone any that I'd trust in that situation.

I'm confused as to why the idea of a person going to a Nissan dealership, to buy an OEM Nissan part, for a Nissan, and paying the price the man behind the counter asked for said part is foreign to you.

[Maldo]

What width are the rear rotors on a '97 s14 with stock calipers? I have looked all around and only found that the diameter is 10"...

Regardless of that he said there's fluid coming out of the boot. I'm like 99% sure fluid shouldn't be in that boot and it's time for a new slave cylinder anyway. I don't know the price of an oem one from the dealer, but I know for a fact it's right around $20 at autozone. Go buy yourself a new one.
