Sleeve is part of the Bushing.

Isn't there just a metal sleeve that the bolt goes through, and it goes inside the bushing. I dont remember another sleeve outside of the bushing on the fronts. I could be wrong though.

Teh Luckinator · 12-17-2011, 03:16 PM

yeah, there's an outer sleeve as well.

If its anything like the outer sleeves on the rear its pressed in, so I dont think anyone makes tgem. Were you supposed to take it out or leave it in? I know on my energy suspension bushing for the rear you had to cut them all out for good and not use an outer sleeve.

And I'd do your question about the manifold, but it'd be wrong because I have no idea

Can a bad ecu still throw code 55?

UGLYLOWLIFE · 12-17-2011, 05:43 PM

this recently started happening. SOMETIMES when i release the gas pedal, it jerks really hard and can happen in any gear. what's the cause of this?

EsChassisLove · 12-17-2011, 06:00 PM

Is anyone here running 850cc or bigger injectors with a PowerFC?

I just wanna know how it is at idle. I hear that over 740cc with the PowerFC and the idle is a little funky due to the powerfc not being able to trim that big of an injector, or something...

JasianBlazin · 12-17-2011, 06:16 PM

did any of the s14 SE's come without LSD?

Maldo · 12-17-2011, 09:48 PM

Anyone know what tire width would go with a 17 by 9.5 rim? I was thinking 235 up in the front and 245 up back. I think that might be a little to wide though. Any input would be appreciated.

Jesus FAWK. I am so tired of seeing "what's a good tire size for XX wheel?"

A 285 is the maximum tire for a 9.5.

Do you want stretch? 225/245

Want full rubber? 265/275.

Thank you I was just making sure. Your answer is MUCH appreciated.

Teh Luckinator · 12-18-2011, 12:20 AM

215/40 on a 9.5. Do it, homeboy.

285 on a 9.5? Really?
215/40-45/17 or to 225 /40-45/17 - for that stretchy shit <gangsta
Max I would say 245/255 for that grippy kinda shit. < :thumbdown:
I work with tires every day, 285 is huge...and would look like a bag of dicks.
There's my 2 cents. Do what you want

When's the last time you put a 285 on a 9.5? Must of been a while because its flush as fuck with the wheel. Which looks dope. A 285 is really pushing it with a 9.5. That's why I said 275 for max rubber. You know, its for the big boys making big boy power.

Now move on.

Yes, lsd was an option, not standard on any trim.

285 isn't pushing it. You can fit a 315 on there easily. 275 or 285 would be square. 245 is still a stretch.

215.. lol..

240xxx · 12-18-2011, 01:46 PM

anything in particular i should look out for when purchasing a s13?

*Wake* · 12-18-2011, 01:53 PM

^^18 year olds. Thats what I look out for.

A 315?! Thats insane.

The 2001 Z06 came with 295 on a 9.5 wheel and they ballooned over a little bit. I guess thats why I said 285. I like the square look, not the crazy ballooned over drag racing look.

nikkisixx69 · 12-18-2011, 02:56 PM

how much is my nismo steering wheel worth?? there is a bit of wear on the top of it ! thinking of selling it

mowgli 240sx · 12-18-2011, 03:15 PM

i have a 1995 s14 with a stock ka24de
at idle after a few seconds if i give it a little gas
a puff of blueish smoke comes out of the exhaust
but goes away when i drive, so it only occurs when
im in idle
i have custom blast pipes with a cat
idk what is causing the puff of smoke if its from the straight pipe or i need a new cat or something else any feedback would be appreciated

VNG704 · 12-18-2011, 04:25 PM

Reaccurring question. Blue smoke means its burning oil. My guess, valve seals need replacement. Seals are going and oil getting through into cylinders.
