How do you remove 'service engine soon' light on s14?

[Irresistible]

The simple answer would be.... Service the engine.


Scan the OBD2 port, and see what's wrong with it, and fix it, or just ignore it, as I've been doing since I got the car 2 years ago. It's not always something bad. Me for example is the EVAP control valve wiring is messed up.

Any suggestions on the best tranny fluid? And what you guys use. I've been using Redline MT90 for the past couple years, figured i'd see what others think before i swap trans and change fluid. Only other one i've really heard of was some Amsoil gl4 i think.

Edit: nvm, found an old trans oil discussion thread. Gunna try out the Amsoil

I have an s13 hatch, my front drivers side wheel sticks out further than the passenger side. Will front adjustable lower control arms fix this?

[EhrikETFG]

can you use the usdm bumper support when you so a silvia front?

[chiboy002]

is that box on the s13 fan shroud a resonator? it has a hose coming from the air tube, and definitely looks like a resonator, but wanna be 100% sure

@ s13 bumper support guy.
not without modification

@ fender problem guy
some s13's had body fitment problems. one side fit different than the other. just pull the fender to accommodate, unless its a camber problem

Codes 130 and 140? Both 02's?

can you piggyback a tuned ecu with emange? i know people have done this with the safc.

[Wake]

Emanage is a stand alone I thought.

why would you need to piggy back if you have a stand alone?

emanage is not a standalone. in my case, i have the emange to make fuel corrections. what i would like to do it send my ecu to be tuned (jw or enthalpy) and use the emange to fine tune the ecu.

where can i pick up some jdm turn signals for a chuki half and half?

[Import Convert]

Hey guys I can't pull up any definitive info on this megan AFPR. Megan Racing Universal Silver Fuel Pressure Regulator with Gauge
It comes with universal fuel rail adapters but, my question is. Do I need to purchase a seperate fuel rail adapter or use what megan provides? This will be going on a KA24DE.

the tab is if you want to use a z32 ebrake set up. thats where the anchor nut goes.

is it sand blasted? might have messed up the bearings if it is, or some wierd shit is going on because i've never seen one painted/blasted before

heli-coil if its on the outside of the engine

if its a block thread then you should take it to a shop so they can do it

[snoops14]

Anybody know if vs-xx or vs-kf 18x9.5 -6 standard disk (A DISK) will clear Z32 brakes? thanks in advance

troubleshooting question:

my safc reads that my throttle position is always over 50%. my car also breaks up at around 4000 rpm and won't hold idle. is my TPS broken? i don't have a multimeter to use at the moment, so i can't do the test.

helicoil, or ignore it. my buddy stripped one of the valve cover bolt holes and his sr doesnt leak. if you havent used helicoils before you should probably get someone with experience to do it

if you do it yourself make sure its going in straight
