90% of the cars i've owned have been Nissans/Toyotas/Hondas(lol). So yeah probably have knowledge to affect you. Try me...but if I can't answer, don't expect me to.

I'm trying to decide on an LSD. My car is setup for drifting, but I also do road racing w/ it. The two LSD's I am looking at are the Tomei Techni Trax or the Nismo GT LSD Pro.

Ask from people who owned em...see what they say.
I think Dousan has had a wide array of LSD's.

This thread is NOT for this kind of question, but you're premie.
Sell some shit you got. Sell parts off your car you don't need. Try and get a loan. Your wheels/exhaust would get you some money, steelies and open exhaust is worth it.

Hey farzam just read your wole thread, good job on for that
and I got a question about intercooler piping, you said earlier in this thread that the length of the piping didn't affect but wouldn't shorter intercooler piping mean less lag. I mean, doesn't the blow off valve release the pressure from the system when you release the throttle. So if thats right, then having shorter piping should mean less area to build the pressure in, so less time to build the pressure. What do you think ??? |

Is it true that for large power (400whp+) that one should covert to external of is internal still "ok" (referring to first question). What is the best route to disable to ETCS? Power House Amuse controller or a different route?

How can I cure my understeer problems that I encounter at any speed above ~50mph? (for drift)
Clutch-kicks, weight shifting, nothing seems to work except running extremely bald tires in the back. This is on an S13: ka24e, coilovers, locked diff. Also: Is this thread limited to automotive related questions?

Technique...new car...more powerrrrr...change suspension settings. Do you just have coilovers as far as suspension mods? Go get a tuner shop to give you an alignment, it's hard to come by a place that'll do it and do it correctly for that matter, but if I can find a place here in Raleigh, you can probably find it anywhere.

Well its not a new head. It has 120~k on it. I am thinking maybe the valves could use adjustment. Also, I dont seem to have all power until, lets say, 3,500rpm. It kinda bogs til then.

Adjust valves to spec. That's what it was on my Integra.

sounds dumb, but on a 96 ka what is the best way to get to the knock sensor to replace it. I try and work on it about once a week or so but my hand can't fit between the manifold, and those flexible extensions dont work to good.

Please help
Blindly, I bought a HKS wastegate actuator under the advice of this guy at a local perormance shop. He covinced me that this was the source of my problems. What was happening was.... I bought a boost controller (an old greddy profec) and hooked it up and saw no increase in boost. So we put a tee in the vac line (and took the controller out) from the actuator to the ic line and saw a slight increase. So i bought a performance HKS wastegate actuator.... to my suprise, this didn't fix anything!(even with the boost controller). WTF! I'm running in the 5.5-7psi range. So is it my turbo? If so, Can i use the HKS wastegate actuator with an S15 turbo?
Any advice will help... ps. I am using all the stock sr ic stuff. Thanks, Mark |

Why is it that on my S13 coupe, my tail lights/dash lights/ding when door is open(letting you know the lights are on) only work when the headlights are on high beam? Also, headlights go up but not down. I can manually screw them down, and they come back up fine by using the headlight switch or the little button on the dash. Could the problems be related? I've checked all fuses/relays for headlight motors and changed out the button on the dash from one of my other cars. Thanks, Harley

Nice to hear you're feeling better now, Farzam (at least, I think you are...?).
Do Chiltons manuals have colour coding diagrams for wiring? Also, have you ever heard of a Bently manual (NOT the car), wondering if that has better information than a Chiltons?
