Would 13" (332mm) brakes fit without issues in 17" wheels?

Just kept getting multiple clicks. When I took my key out, all my lights on my gauge cluster stayed lit? Jumping the car did not work.
Had to push start the car to get it to turn on.

Bad Alternator? Battery? Fuse?

check if the wire to the starter is loose.

i understand the differences between polyurethane and hard rubber bushings and why hard rubber would be ideal for a street car unless zerk fittings are installed, but does this only apply to moving parts?

im looking to replace my power steering rack bushings and wouldn't mind spending the extra money on nismo bushings if they are better, seeing as i won't need to grease them quarterly. However, the power steering rack doesn't move enough to maybe warrant a greasing, right?

Will polyurethane be sufficient for a power steering rack bushing, rather than the pricier hard rubber, in terms of maintenance?

To retain working AC on the SR20 you'll need the DOHC components and compressor, the ECU working with the HVAC controls, and one of my conversion brackets

Okay cool. I'll probably see if it does anything, and if it does I'll keep it.

And no worries with the SR20 A/C stuff, thanks though. KA here.

Well I seemed to have diagnosed the problem.

Went out and jump started the 240 and it fired up. I left it hooked up to the truck I was using to jump and tested all the accessories and brake lights and the car did not change idle and there was no dimming of gauge lights.

Moment I unhooked the cables from the truck, I let it idle for a bit then I hit the brake pedal and the idle dropped and gauge cluster lights dimmed.
Same with the headlights the car pretty much was about to die with the headlights on and stepping on the brake pedal at the same time.

Guess its time to swap out that alternator.

OrangeVirus1 · 04-03-2013, 04:42 PM

Soooo my RB20 has no redline.. I can keep revving forever... I haven't taken it past 8200... but Shouldn't the ecu limit it at like 7600?

ZFair · 04-03-2013, 05:06 PM

Does anyone know if the rb20 motor mounts fit the rb25?

s13coupe92 · 04-03-2013, 05:43 PM

I was hoping someone could site me to a website where I can buy the weather striping for a s13 coupe, more exactly the front windsheild stripping. It'd really help, appreciate it. Thanks!

Probably has an aftermarket chip in it that removes the rev limiter.

RB20 Mounts are exactly the same as RB25DE mounts so they will fit but you'll also need to use the brackets that go from the block to the mount from a 20 or 25na as well.

dluevanos01 · 04-03-2013, 06:40 PM

Anyone know where this plugs into? It's from the harness that goes on the passenger side of the car and into the cabin.

and if that is not plugged in cause this?

OrangeVirus1 · 04-03-2013, 07:15 PM

Ok then, What is a KNOWN safe Redline to set for the RB20 @ roughly 375whp? I will tune it to just cut 100% of fuel @ whatever RPM.

which RPM should I set?

Also, ( I have no powersteering ) but Why is it my car is like 3x harder to turn left than right? turning right is like nothing, but turning left is hard as hell..

I would set the limit at 7600 - 7700.

7RIFT0 · 04-04-2013, 12:08 PM

What is the widest wheel an s14 can use with out modification. Front and Rear.

Anyone know where I can get an S14 SR ECU plug? My harness has been modded with a different plug, which isn't really helpful...

The center seal in your rack is probably busted

kaul_ · 04-05-2013, 04:41 AM

Q45 and R33 NA brakes. Are they the same?

ya sure the nut behind the wheel isn't too loose?
Steering rack, ball joints, control arm bushings, wheel bearings, steering gearbox

Somewhere in your system is a bit of unsorted business that requires attention, as long as it's not the nut behind the wheel being loose

You are over thinking this way too much... just get some energy suspension steering rack bushings. The rack should not be in motion, there should be no maintenance needed, install, drive, done.

ME GUSTA · 04-05-2013, 04:44 PM

For all the commiefornia guys. I have a problem with smog.

My Nox level is a bit high. I passed the 15MPH barely with 488 out of 493 max. But failed 25MPH with 585 out of 516 max.

HC:
15mph Max: 88 - Meas: 69
25mph Max: 53 - Meas: 59

CO:
15mph Max: .36 - Meas: .18
25mph Max: .35 - Meas: .29

NO:
15mph Max: 493 - Meas: 488
25mph Max: 516 - Meas: 585

shop says I should slow down the timing and that might be fix. any other possible solutions? preferably cheap ones? EGR, catalytic, etc.

OrangeVirus1 · 04-05-2013, 07:22 PM

Need some opinions, Ok so my intercooler piping just wont fit with the setup I currently have. But the intercool piping is wrouted the best possible way right now.

What are you people's opinions on cutting out part of the hood and seeing an intercool piping stick out?

Go or no Go? ( for a potential daily )

is it sticking up too much? if the piping is broken up to 2 pieces on the side you might trim the one.

OrangeVirus1 · 04-05-2013, 07:45 PM

It is sticking up too high. I can't wroute it any other way without making like 5 feet more of piping and can't close the hood with the way it is. but it is the best wroute for my IC pipping..

zerodameaon · 04-05-2013, 07:54 PM

Just do it the right way, not some janky way.

OrangeVirus1 · 04-05-2013, 08:30 PM

the way my intercooler is, I have to run a crazy excessive amount of piping to keep it from touching the hood.

I'll figure something out.

zerodameaon · 04-05-2013, 11:11 PM

Cutting your hood to have piping stick out is not the right way.

Yeah. I got the hood to fit and close. No cutting. Well I had to cut that stuff that is on the bottom side of the hood. that crappy support brackets or w/e. and had to flatten down the pipe a little, and Put some Washers on the back of the hood.

now it opens and closes fine. no holes in the hood.

They look different but probably equally as shit. Just upgrade to GTST Brakes, they're cheap as chips.
