Lol Thanks man, I confirmed with GKtech that the ABS ring can be pressed on their hubs so I went ahead and ordered those. Need to track down some oem bearings and maybe some more abs rings if I can find them

In my experience, Timken bearings for these cars are typically NTN or Koyo, made in Japan OEM.

is it generally accepted that all KA24DE aftermarket headers will hit the steering column? i have a set of no-name headers on mine that currently sit directly on the column. finally found someone selling ISR headers and he took a hammer to them to avoid the column. i google it and find out that plenty of others have clearance issues. pacesetter, OBX, ISR, whatever it is... what is the alternate option?

i guess i shouldn't mind taking a hammer to it if it's an N/A motor that doesn't really care about flow restriction anyways...

edit: it was my motor mounts lol. they were sagging like you know what. also i found out i have Flashark headers. never heard of em

loosen your motor mounts and adjust the tilt of the motor... there is a lot of room in your brackets.

got it, that was my suspicion. thanks

Can I fit a 9.5j et35 on an s13 in the rear without touching the coilover? Don't want spacers

Yes. Should fit no problem in back. Inner clearance really isn't the issue there.

17/18x9.5 +35 will fit fine in regards to the coilovers (you will need to roll your fenders though). depending on what tire size you run, you may need to add camber. my Advan Super Racing Gen.2s are 17x9.5 +38 on 245s and fit with -0.5 deg of camber (factory) perfectly on rolled fenders. my current 18x9.5 +34 Blest wheels require 4mm of camber (which is like -4 deg) with 245s to clear my rolled fenders. im gonna change the rear tires on those out to 235s to eliminate camber and make it so i can swap my Advans on without having to adjust rear suspension geometry.

coilover clearance on both is just fine.

I have a no-name header that fits, it's very close but no interaction. Mine is similar to ISR or OBX, just an "ebay" stainless 4-2-1. 4-2-1s usually have better clearance, that's why 4-1s usually have that extra joint in the bellhousing area, otherwise you wouldn't even have enough room to install them.

That said I think under the right conditions letting out the clutch something on mine juuuust kisses the floorpan or firewall. It's not much but just enough that I feel a tingle in my left foot. And that only started after I replaced my sagging transmission mount with a fresh OEM-style one from Enjuku.

Hey all i am swapping my s13 i have a rb25det and i was able to get my hands on mckinney mounts, my question is does anyone know if the isr driveshaft would work? they state that its ment to work with their mounts only if not does anyone know if the prefabed driveshafts work or is it Best to try and get measurements?

[AKADriver]

Can anyone point me to the FSM page (S13) that has the diagram for the front undertray? I can't find it for the life of me. Just need to know exactly how many fasteners the factory used. Parts diagrams are surprisingly no help (it only shows the four j-nuts at the front).

The parts diagram on Nengun has qty 4 01241-00011 of the nuts, and then has the bolts as 08363-6162H (11). The 11 in parenthesis is how many it needs.

That sounds about right off memory. 4 up front in the bumper, 3 to the core support, 2 at the tension rod brackets, then 2 at the subframe. S14 might have 5 in the bumper.

There's no diagram in the FSM for the splash shield.

Part number or alternative for the four steering shaft bolts that go into the rubber donut that connects the two parts?

I don't want to use Ace Hardware bolts since I know the OEM ones have shafts without threads. I'm worried the threaded surface is going to cause play.

[AKADriver]

Nissan doesn't list any of the column bushing parts separately (there's just one part number for the entire lower steering shaft). Are you sure the bolts even come out? It's been a while but GKTech's install video for their bushing backs up my memory that the bolts are pressed into the shaft halves.

you are correct, i JUST replaced my rubber donut on my s13 and both sets of bolts are pressed in. if you need to swap the bolts out, especially the ones on the firewall side, may god help you.

Corbic i know you probably know this but don't forget to mark your steering shaft when you take it off so shit don't get misaligned.

I need to replace my clutch after 10 years of drifting.
I have an sr20det swapped S13 coupe.
How do i tell if i have an SR or KA trans?
And are the clutches the same or different?

[e1_griego]

1. The bellhousings are motor specific, which means it doesn't matter if you have a KA or SR trans.
2. The clutches are different, but clutches go with motors, not transmissions.

You need an SR clutch.

Thanks man!! Surprised my clutch lasted this long.
Flywheel would also be SR?
Might as well replace that while im in there.

[e1_griego]

Yes they're different.

s13 KA with an S14 IACV. on all cold starts, my rpm will drop and then the car shuts off. if i hold RPM for a few seconds, then slowly release, it'll stay idling (very low)

the brown and purple plugs on the IACV are plugged in. i tested and found no vacuum leaks. y does my KA die on a cold start?

for what it's worth, when it's hot, it starts and idles perfectly

[allntrlundrgrnd]

Nevermind lol

Is the ECU temp sensor hooked up and working? That would be my first thing to check, the two-pin square connector one on the water neck. Basically just check the ohms on a cold engine, I forget what the spec is, but if it's unplugged or out of range, ECU thinks the engine is warm, no cold idle.

S13 and S14 IACVs are electrically compatible but they did change the connector, connector could be wired backwards if it's been cut and spliced. The production break actually isn't S13 vs. S14 it's actually at June 1992 that they went to the "S14" style with the purple connector. Part number changed from 2378153F11 to 2378153F12.

Does anyone have a good source for the Nissan emblem for stock s13 front bumper? Or an alternate option maybe from a different Nissan? I’m almost done painting bumpers and the old emblem looks like ass. I’d like to replace it with something new.

According to the parts diagrams, for the chuki 240/180 it's the same as the kouki 180SX. 62890-51F00. Looks like it's cheapest on amayama but a lot of stores have it.

Oh shit I thought it was discontinued! Thanks man + rep!

thanks! temp sensor is hooked up so i'll check the ohms, but it definitely works (i can see temp changing as the car warms up).

also, about the IACV connector thing, how the fuck do you know that? i like to imagine you've been waiting for months to drop that random fact. that's impressive.

I kinda vaguely knew it because my '93 is all kinds of weird from the factory and an S14 IACV plugged right in. They rolled out a lot of changes to the KA for the '93 model year in the summer of '92 (butterfly delete, one year only cams) and then some more random stuff right before the end of S13 KA production in the spring of '93. So I looked it up on the parts diagrams just to confirm what I was thinking. Partsouq is usually where I look this stuff up.

There are two temp sensors FYI, one runs the temp gauge and one talks to the ECU. The gauge sensor is the skinny one with a flat spade connector. That one could be working but the ECU one could be bad and you wouldn't be able to tell without a CONSULT reader.

This got my ass laughing like an idiot in front of coworkers

[brndck]

OK PART TWO OF MY RANDOM ASS QUESTION

Does anyone know of a NEW style Nissan badge that is the same size or very close to the Nissan badge used on s13 front bumper?
