REALY? cause mine are round on the bottom so they sit flush with the inside of the spacer.

like these pictured.

i have an S13 with RB20 with KA tranny sittin on R32 crossmember
i know that Stock S13 driveshaft will work but i think thats with RB20 motor and tranny.
in my situation i have RB20 and KA tranny and the stock S13 driveshaft is short like an inch short.

anyone in this situation? or had this problem before?

can i just put a custom made spacer or is there any other driveshaft that will work?
cuz the mckinney is $415 not including the shipping and tax yet.

KA/SR/RB trans are the same. You need to get a real driveshaft.

ok so my window hasnt worked since i got the car a few months ago,the amp clicks so i thought it was the motor,took the motor out cleaned alittle bit,tried it and it worked for a sec after jiggleing the plug to the amp,then stoped .so then i took the motor and pluged it to the passenger side and it works fine. so my question is if the amp clicks is it bad?? and if my amp is bad can i bypass it or do i need the amp?? o yeah i have a 95 s14

[stance]

Your amp is bad. Idk if it's possible to bypass it. But I'm using an s13 one on my s14. Just had to switch brackets

I think the pull might have weakened the metal so even if I do get it out it will just go right back from the slightest touch I need someone to chime in who know exactly what I am talking about because I know alot of others have gotten this exact same dent. Pick a random page on the wheel fitment whore thread and your likely to see one I can post pics of it if necessary I JUST WANT IT GONE! haha it hurts to look at

and thanks for the input guys appreciate I will try your methods also

I have done the football method twice. They were slight dents though, yours sounds bigger. In that case you need to heat and shrink the metal around the dent as you pull it, but its all on feel and you would need to strip the paint.

How the hell do i get the Diff back in?? I'm told i don't have to pull my half-shafts out.. but I've been wiggling that crap for an hour and can't figure out the trick thanks to the nubs on the half-shafts needing to go into the diff's output flanges and argh!!!

[killer240]

so i dont have my driveshaft connected to the diff..
im tryin to tighten up the crank pulley bolt.
how will i do it without rotating the engine? or opening the oil pan and stickin a wood in there.?

I've got holes on the hatch of my S13 from the old spoiler, I want to get rid of the holes, how did you get rid of it? I was planning on just using putty to fill it in but my concern is what holds putty in place, if this is wrong let me know! lol I'm no body work savy.

Gotta weld them shut. Either use round pieces of sheet metal or squared, dont really matter. Just make sure they are large enough to cover each hole. Place the pieces of metal from underneath the hatch and spot weld them from the top of the hatch, grind down the welds flush, then fill it in with putty. Careful not to heat the metal too much while you weld, use a wet rag to cool the area around so the metal doesnt warp. Thats what i did.

when i put mine on i had my old exhaust on, you dont so it will be easier. you jack it up high enough so just the male nubs of the axles will fit into the cup. usually you have to do one side first and then slide over and pull the axle (they do compress somewhat, like about 2 inches) pull it as hard as you can and then slide it over. have someone help cause i almost dropped it on my head. pretty much it should be like this

`]__[' the brackets are the cups and the apostrophe and other thing are the male nubs. you just need to get it to slide onto the flat part and not into the hole, then just jacking it up the rest

the hardest part after that is getting the bolts to line up in the back, make a new post when your there lol

good luck

[deuce40sxftw]

heres my question... who wants me to make a right up about relocating your fender harness into the bay?

i wanna know if there is an interest because i don't want to waste my time taking pictures and writing it all out if every1 is just going to bitch about there already being one (which i havent found)

[MrFairlady]

Anyone ever Separated 2 peice Wheels?

Looking at +35 f and +38 b. Will this fit with/without spacers?

Also let me know if these have a really bad shape (concave/convex etc.)
I've googled heaps but can't really get a good grasp on them.

With a 17x9 you can easily go down ten or fifteen MM on the offset and still clear stock fenders. 35 will not clear though.. I think maybe 30 or 25 is the highest you can go with a 9j. 17x10 38 wont fit either, im guessing you will need at least ten mm spacer

For one, you won't be able to rotate wheels/tires.

really? why is that? don't they rotate each seperatly?

[Z33dori]

you can still rotate the tires, you will just have to dismount them.

All S13 open ended lugs I've seen there look cone tapered at the bottom like that. Even the ones I see by the parts counter.

Check the "wheel aisle" first if they have any that'll match and then check the parts counter for the stock ones. Buy one for like 20 cents and then see if it'll work.
