That's completely reversed. No way that is a issue from a simple rotor/hub swap. You have an issue with your master cylinder doing things backwards. Coincidence it started at the same time as the swap? Possible...

I have stock knuckles and bought 25mm length flca for my s13. What tie rod inner and outer will work with this setup? I was looking at the tein combo or pbm rods. I just want to see what other people are running with the stock knuckles

Agent S14 · 06-22-2015, 01:51 PM

I just had my machine shop call me they said I need oversized pistons by either 20 thousandths or 30 thousandths.

what are my options here?

Did you support the calipers properly after you removed them? Occasionally, people (idiots) will remove the brake calipers and hang them by the rubber brake lines; or worse yet, they accidently drop the brake caliper putting a tremendous strain on the rubber line. This can damage and break the innermost lining in the rubber line, essentially turning it into a one-way check valve. Press the brake pedal and the valve opens, allowing/forcing fluid into the caliper piston. Release the brake pedal, the damaged innermost lining closes, thus not allowing brake fluid to return. The result is a locked up caliper. A damaged inner lining cannot be seen by visually inspecting the outside of the rubber brake line.

How to diagnose: press the brake pedal, release the pedal, check if the caliper is seized. If yes, crack open that specific caliper bleeder screw. If brake fluid comes squirting out under pressure and the caliper releases, you probably have a damaged rubber line.

dbeiler · 06-22-2015, 03:52 PM

If BOTH rear calipers are locking up, I would suspect a faulty proportioning valve. Unscrew it from the brake master cylinder and inspect it.

Question for the guys with 5 and 6 point harnesses. Trying to figure out where to mount my submarine(nut) belt for my crow 5 point. Where did you guys drill the hole? If you want to send me pics of your set up to my private messages, that'd be awesome! Thanks!

My 98 did not come with factory tweeters. I USED THE SEARCH and found this thread http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=30903.

My question is would wiring tweeters to the door speakers work in providing a signal to the tweeters and would the tweeters do their job and only output higher frequency sounds than the door speakers?

I don't feel like going to a "stereo shop" because I know they are all full of shit. Thanks in advance!

Kuma · 06-23-2015, 02:43 AM

does anyone make rear overs/flares larger than 50mm for s14?

Looking to reupholster my bride zeta ii but what I'm concerned about is the logo. I know most places can embroider a new logo but the zeta ii's have the old bride logo and I can't seem to find a solid picture of it. Anyone have any suggestions how to go about it? I was also thinking of just not getting that piece replaced and fabric spray it to match the new material.

What is this? I'm thinking of relocating it to clean up my engine bay while the motor is out.

I think that has something to do with the egr (or the coil?) if i remember right. If it has to do with the egr (verify that if its an s14) you should be able to unplug it and have no issues, but i'm not sure , im not around my car.

I'm like 70% sure i don't have that hooked up on my s13. ( if that the egr related one)

heiyuu · 06-27-2015, 12:11 PM

my 180sx w/ sr20det was getting flatbedded and everything seemed fine until they started winching it up the now inclined flatbed. coolant started pissing out. We popped the hood and it seems like it was coming from the back of the engine where it meets the tranny.

also, if i idle long enough steam/white smoke comes from that area too.

my question is, what could be back there leaking so much coolant?

Anyone having problems with JGS oil feed line not threading in much or is it just me? The first few threads go in fine then after that it becomes super hard to force it in more.

Standard sun roof for all early 90's Nissan's. First thing to go is the seal, easy to replace with aftermarket too, if you're careful

Hey, ran into an issue after I got my engine bay repainted. Reinstalled the wiper motor now I can't get the wipers to come to their proper resting spot. tried unbolting them several times and repositioning them with no luck. Is there a proper way to reset them?

hellion240sx · 06-28-2015, 10:07 AM

Geting a vert soon. Looking at getting a 4point, at least, does it eliminate the use of back seats?

Frsport used to have custom roll bars made for the vet vert, but no longer offer that deal.

Any leads to a very vert roll bar? Or will it be a custom job?

Thanks

Speaking of interior im in the process of doing mine but its a mismatch of oem I took out my shit stained grey carpets and orderd some diy black ones and my car looks 10x cleaner with that and deep cleaning all the seats. The only issue im having now is seat belts. Everything is fine, all the plastics are hand cleaned and my dash got some detailing, still has one tiny crack but no one can really see it tbh.

My drivers and passengers are fine but my rear passenger belt on the one side is locked up. The other one is fine. I just got some working seat belt from a local and it was working before but that is also locked up. What do??? I want my back seats in so I can drive some of my 240less and carless mates to some meets and the off chance I'll have more than one female in my hatch lol. Im all for safety when driving and I must have all my belts working. I dont like to risk my life or my passengers life because "weight reduction" of a couple pounds.
