gt3040r

gt3582r

if you don't know no worries

even if you knew nothing of turbo sizing its fine, because im almost at the point where I might flip a coin.

cgtdream · 05-06-2007, 09:11 AM

Any sites out there where i can purchase oem stuff for my s14?

Grendel · 05-06-2007, 01:01 PM

Hey, awesome thread...

I've been looking at suspension parts all day, got a couple quick questions for ya...

For parts like Tension Rods/Rucas/etc, the prices fluctuate from brand to brand a lot. How is the quality of say splparts.com's tension rods ($189) vs JIC tension rods ($360). I ask because most people on here say you get what you pay for, yet I also see lots of people recomending splparts.com for suspension upgrades.

Also, Stance GR+ Pro coil overs... Thumbs up or thumbs down?

Thanks a bunch for this thread

Iceman00 · 05-06-2007, 02:25 PM

It's personal preference really.

It's 50% quality 10% pricing 40% name.

IMO i'd get battle version tension rods, cause that's the only one i've had so far and they worked more than fine on my beater hatch...

Really you just need to find 3 core people you trust that are at least kinda friends and ask em whenver you dunno shit.

Farzam · 05-07-2007, 11:15 PM

Thanks Sam.

I was thinking about NA KA but KA-T is tempting.

Or saving up for an RB.

Nikeboy355 · 05-08-2007, 12:02 AM

Will we ever be able to rev a KA to 9000 RPM safely?...

Farzam · 05-08-2007, 01:00 AM

With enough money, anything is possible.

**Phlip** · 05-08-2007, 07:48 PM

Spare us the discussion, this thread is to ask Farzam car-related questions and he either answers them or finds the answers, not to have a discussion that could go down in an AIM chat.
It is in Tech, Steve, because he is to be asked questions that are generally technical.

dom0988 · 05-08-2007, 08:01 PM

I just bought an sr. Should the wiring harness be cut anywhere if they claim it comes "uncut"?

Synicals13 · 05-08-2007, 08:15 PM

why does my sr engine(pretty much stock) idle so rough and inconsistant. Ever since i got the swap in, its been running really rough. The whole shifter shakes. Sometimes it will idle at 900......at other times it will fluctuate from 900-600-700rpm. What do ya think is the cause?

TheTimanator · 05-08-2007, 09:39 PM

here's is an issue I have been having...

First of all I have an SR with fmic, eletrical fans and stock thermostat. I use a Pivot Fan Control Gauge-X to act as a thermostat for the fans as well as a more accurate gauge. Also the water pump and thermostat were both replaced a little over a year ago. Here are the problems I have been having.
1.) the gauge becomes horribly inaccurate when the fans come on. I know this b/c it will read 220 degrees F and I shut off the car and it will read 180....it's never consistent. Although I'm not 100% that the car is not running hot.
2.) the car "pulses" when the fans come on (rpm's don't change, it's more of a vibration thing)
I have "bled" the coolant system to the best of my ability, so I don't think thats the issue. Have any ideas on how to fix this? I just want it to be reliable again for daily use if I need it.

As a quick fix , or maybe a permanent one, I was planning on putting a clutch fan and shroud (which I already have) in and possibly getting a nismo thermostat. Although that looks like it's gonna be tricky b/c of the condenser ( i think it's the condenser, I still have a/c).

'90RPS13 · 05-08-2007, 09:59 PM

Found you a motor farzie for $200.

ZenkiKid · 05-08-2007, 10:03 PM

would you consider going "white bunny" 240mm clutch on a Sohc KA overkill?

and performance wise is it worth doing?

This was worded shitty...

The wiring harness should be modified to be used.

The wiring harness is crimped a lot...so it may look like it's cut.

MAF

Bad timing
Vacuum leak

I dont' know what your'e doig with the car, the future mods you want, current mods, or any good info.

With that being said, ebay a clutch, cause you probably will upgrade the motor someday and why spend a lot on something you'll end up ditching in a month when an ebay unit isn't even that bad?

Nikeboy355 · 05-10-2007, 05:37 PM

Does "Prolong" really work?...

Nissan240sxDriver · 01-10-2008, 09:49 PM

i installed some aftermarket gauges. had to pull of the needles. put them back on and they aren't reading right. any ideas on what could be the problem? or possibly reset the gauges? thank you.
