the ss braided line replaces the dampner/slave cylinder line

if you want the entire thing buy the auto to manual line, its about 3.5 feet of line

I'm trying to locate spring isolators for KYB G2 all around on a 91 s13. KYB doesn't make them (neither does Monroe). Springs are Eibach but they don't make the isolators either. I've talked to 4 different Nissan service shops but no seems to have the part listed. Are there any OEM replacements available?

is the spring jumping around or whats seems to be the issue???

[Miamibass]

I'm having the springs and dampers installed. The original isolators are trashed and my mechanic needs new ones to complete the install. My car is up on the lift right now, costing me money until I can find a solution.

[Edwin562]

Before my coils, i didnt see no isolators on my strut and spring combo.. it ran fine but i does make annoying noise though....

[killer skittle]

Does anyone have a picture of how they mounted r32 glass headlights on there s14. Thanks, could only find pictures of them already finished mounted. Just curious on how YOU mounted them I will be picking up a set later this week.

The isolators I've seen are wrapped around the ends of the springs, these didn't come that way. Every Nissan parts dept assumes that since they can't locate the part, it must have been apart of the spring also, but my mech says on this car they should be separate. BTW, this car is completely stock.

1991 Nissan 240SX OEM Parts - The Nismo Shop

That's the same part I found last night. Took the diagram to the shop this morning and there was so little left of mine, we couldn't be sure. I'll try again with the tech at nissan now.

bump, noise

Here is everything (one rear hub/axle not pictured) off of my 1995 s14. I plan on putting these 5lug hubs onto my 89 s13.
My question is, do I have everything off that I need?
I've got the hubs, and axle's for the back. And the hubs, axle, and LCAs for the front.

[doomviillain]

[Edwin562]

Just bought a new tps, installed it and voltage set at .47 but my car stalls sometimes when coming to a stop. It does not stall at all when i unplug the tps. what could be the problem?

[S14kouki_10]

Anyone know the exact weight of the stock manual s14 driveshaft?

[zooopreme]

My brakes have been acting weird. I have z32 brakes all around & the front brakes squeal loudly only when I have coilovers & brake from 5mph to a complete stop.

I mentioned coilovers into the brake problem because when I went back on stock shocks, my brakes did not make any noise whatsoever. And now that I put the coils back on, they started making noise again.

There's life left on the pads & the rotors have no surface rust/dirt. Can anybody help me out?

for those of you who got a brand new cable trunk lid for your S13

is this what your trunk end looks like? my old one has a different style bracket, this doesnt bolt on, and they said its the right one. the cable that connects to the trunk latch is also a little longer than stock, but i dont think that would be an issue. is this for an S13 or S14?

heres what it looks like side to side, top is the stock, and bottom is the new one

anyone? ive really searched and searched. is it really as easy as cutting inner lip out of overs and bending them over the wheel???

[nathanss13]

So doin 5 speed conversion and need to know exactly were the holes go for clutch pedal assem. For me to drill or should I just mount the pedal and go from there?

[JaredP]

^^^on the inside firewall you'll see two "tubes" coming off it right behind where the pedal would go. drill in those, and cut the hole out in between them. done

[nathanss13]

Thank you very helpful and should I just go with a steel braided line or fuck with finding the hard line and will s14 pedals work on s13 cause I have a set of those just laying in my yard

[JaredP]

dunno bout the pedals, but get the 52" (i think) stainless auto>manual clutch line. i got mine from fr sport and fit like a charm, was even "hidden" a bit and got rid of the clutch damper box

How much do solid risers actually help with suspension geometry? I'm considering getting them, but for a daily it seems like the noise may be annoying. So if they're not that much of a help I may get Energy poly bushings. My car is almost tucking 17's if that helps with deciding how much it'll actually help.

[nathanss13]

Anything else I should spring for since the nay is empty right now and I haven't done jack shit to the car yet other than some eiback springs and lookin for some tokieko blues or kyb struts

Sorry for the spelling errors by the way guys touch screen phone at work no good

[JaredP]

since we have no idea what your building or what your plans/goals are with the car, theres no way we can answer that. a good cleaning/paint of the bay always looks good though if its completely empty

[nathanss13]

Well for now I'm trying just to get a fairly stock Sr and rock like that with a front mount for the smile and pretty much just goin for cleean with enough power for my play time and I want it to ride like a porn star...

Oh yea pig nose coupe
