Due to my schedule, I will be installing coilovers one weekend, and suspension arms the other weekend. Alignment happening right after. Which should I do first?

I'm assuming the car is your only mode of transportation for the intermediate week. I don't think it will matter very much either way. Without an adjustable rear upper your rear will have some added negative camber depending how low you set your coilovers if you install them first. You can dial out negative camber with the camber plate in the front if you are looking for stock-ish alignment.

Why can't you do it all in one weekend? Unless you have bad luck and every suspension bolt is seized, arms and coilovers are a pretty quick swap. Don't forget eccentric lockout hardware for the rear.

If you plan on driving the car in between these weekends I would do coilovers first. Keep the same ride height so the alignment is somewhat in spec. Then lower the ride height(if you choose) while you are swapping the arms on the other weekend and get the alignment right away.

ID of the rubber part is 1"

I might be able to, but I work nights and don't have a garage, so my time and schedule is quite limited. Appreciate the response though.

So I have a GKTech "baffled" over the radiator catch can on my SR, and I just fitted a new Garrett to the engine. My previous S14 T28 seemed to get pretty oily in the intake after the catch can after a season of hard multi-day event drifting, and there's a little pool at the inlet to the FMIC. The engine doesn't make much blowby (S13 SR valve cover, so pretty much any oil that wants to leave, will), but pushes enough oil to somewhat defeat the baffles of the GK catch can. I'd rather not coat this brand new turbo's compressor blades if I don't have to.

I'd like to try steel wool in the catch can on the outlet side of the baffle. I'm worried of it breaking apart and naturally going straight into the turbo. Does anyone know of an inline filter with 5/8 hose ends and where I could find one? Or does anyone have better ideas?

Not entirely what you're asking for, but I have some of this in my catch can and it hasn't seemed to deteriorate in the few years its been in:

However, my catch can set up is VTA, so it's not under the same conditions yours is. Just food for thought.

Anyone know if SR20 fan clutch/water pump studs fit the KA?

Yeah they should. both are a M6x1.0 and all else that really matters is the thickness of the water pump pulley and clutch fan 'pulley' which are roughly the same, if not the same between engines.

Thought I'd follow up and share what I figured out that I'm going to do. It seems like an inline filter with 5/8 hose barbs does not exist in entirety, but I did find this on McMasterCarr with 3/8 NPT threaded ends, so I shouldn't have a problem clamping a 5/8 ID hose on either side and should do me just fine. Nice and small so it shouldn't look too ugly.

That seems like the cheapest option, although im personally not a fan of the difference in diameter especially if its a MAF car.

I did some quick research, and stumbled upon this which is about 10X the cost.

VE labs makes a "coolant filtering and inspection system" but I couldn't find a part number. There is a 3/4" one listed on ebay.

I'm surprised I haven't found that. Guess I should have searched for something for coolant.

My car is standalone so no maf. 5/8 ID hose will slip over 11/16" threads no problems and it won't leak. There is a small restriction in diameter but at the end of the day it's just to apply some vaccuum to the catch can, nothing overly sensitive.

That's perfect. Looks like rockauto has it too so I'll just grab one with my next purchase. Thanks for looking out Steve!

30100-RS254 - Nismo Clutch

This is for a Push Type Trans, correct? Comes with Disk and Cover?

AKADriver · 04-28-2022, 12:04 PM

What's the approximate added coolant capacity from an aftermarket 2-row 48mm radiator (eg Koyo HH, Mishimoto)? I know my stock capacity is 7.25qt (S13 KA24DE). A drain and fill of my Mishimoto rad (which is also draining some of the engine, upper hose, etc) seems to be about 5.5qt. Don't remember what it was for my stock rad.

Don't need an exact value, but Mishimoto literally just says "Capacity: 2" (2 what??)

2 gallons = 8 quarts... sounds about right from what i remember filling my Koyo radiator. its been years since ive had to fill it so it dont 100% remember, but i DO remember buying 2 gallons of coolant for it.

No, this is for pull style, you can see the center ring in this croooober listing. Nismo says it's a late R32/33/34 part

Anyone got a link to an english FSM that has the specs for a notchtop S14 SR20? I know a guy who is really good at building LS engines and figured if he had the specs he could help me rebuild my SR.

I have an english FSM for the notch top. PM your email and I'll send you the file.

Does anyone know if the S13 DOHC KA throttle cable is identical to S14 KA throttle cable?

I am collecting potentially strandable S14 parts, I plan to keep a spare throttle cable in my car lol I can just see it snapping clean off one day, and me hooking a string or a million zip ties together or something so I can pull the throttle from the driver seat to get the car home

I found the S14a manual and sent it to the mods at Nico club a few years ago. They have it hosted at nicoclub.com/FSM with all the other manuals.

You can also just grab the S15 EM section and use that since the engines are the same between them (mechanically).
