Soo my radio said to hook this green wire to my ebrake. Radio is now working properly. My ebrake light is on constantly now though and Im pretty sure cause this spring switch guy wasnt hooked up right. Cant find a pic of what its supposed to look like. Also I pulled the ebrake wire off and on and the light still doesnt go away.

Did a smoke test looking for vacuum leaks by injecting smoke into the intake (after MAF). Lots of smoke was exiting through the BPT valve. Is this normal (engine is not running, of course).
I'm thinking it should "leak" due to no exhaust pressure sealing up the BPT valve. Am i wrong? |

here's how it's supposed to look; That wire from your radio (does it have a DVD player?) is to tell it when your car is parked. You don't HAVE to connect it to the ebrake. should just be able to ground it to the chassis to bypass it. |

The switch is good still I think, I just wasnt paying attention to when I took it off. And when the light stayed on I thought I put it on wrong. I tried to put the brake up and down with the wire touching and off and the light still stayed on. Thank god its only 4 screws to rip this thing off and on |

Cluster lights, head lights, and tail lights flickering
So I was working on my fuel pump (97 s14 240sx) and prior to the work, I removed the negative terminal on the battery since I was dealing with electrical connections. After completing my work and reconnecting the negative battery terminal, all the cluster lights, head lights and tail lights started flickering. At first the flickering was constant but it evidentually died down to only when I opened/closed any door. I can start my engine and drive the car no problem. I'm clueless when it comes to electrical and wouldn't be surprised if I blew a fuse. Can someone provide some guidance/information on how yo fix this. Thanks. P.S. I was not having any battery or alternator problems prior to removing and reconnected the negative terminal. |

If you didn't just happen to develop a switch problem or stickyness at the same time, you might have leaned across something on the lights, like a plug or ground, while working in the trunk. |

https://www.wiringspecialties.com/connectors1.html https://www.wiringspecialties.com/canesaswco.html Perfect fit and brand new connectors. Its a shame to see folks on ebay selling a pair of beat up pigtails with 1" of wire for $30-$40! Get yourself these and youll be set.

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to mount the hood release cable in the interior, it should have 2 bolts, but in my interior there is only a single hole, am I missing something from my car?

After swapping heater cores I seemed to have missed a plug putting things back together and now have no AC. Anyone know where this guy needs plugged in?
S13 plug behind glovebox https://imgur.com/gallery/vjoqL0Z Edit Figured it out. Plugs into the little box on the front of the cooling unit. I don't know how I missed it.

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to car stuff. I have a S13 that was passed down to me. It's in relatively good condition but needs tires, brakes, rotors, calipers, and all new fluids Brake pads and rotors are arriving today, but I've run into a couple issues with the calipers: 1 - Almost every single caliper bolt has broken during removal. They've been super hard to remove. Any advice to make this a bit easier? 2 - The bigger easier here is that so far I've had at least 1 caliper bracket bolt break off inside the right hand rear knuckle. How screwed am I? From what I've looked up I've figured that I need to remove the entire knuckle and try to extract the bolt, or replace the entire knuckle. Does this sound pretty spot on? Thanks! |

If the heads are okay but they all break, someone might have used crazy locktite or something - heat from a torch will loosen threadlocker, but overdoing it will destroy the heat treating in your fasteners. Even really overdoing it with the blue stuff can be a problem, especially if the metal was prepped well. (that said, the "permanent/requires heat" thing is pretty much bullshit, at least for the red permatex, which is the brand and color of choice where I live - a dab will do ya, and will also come off when you want it to) Are the threads that came out covered in colored stuff? Red/yellow/blue/grey chunky stuff? If so, apply heat before doing the rest, and before extracting. Generally red is meant to be pretty tough, yellow/blue are medium, and green is very weak (or sleeve locker, which is basically unremovable) Caliper bracket bolts should be installed with a dab of locktite - the pin/guide bolts should NOT. Sounds like you've got the right idea - you'll probably have to take the knuckle off, drill out the middle of the bolt, and use an extractor to get out whatever's left. |

At this point I'm starting to consider what other maintenance items I should be looking at while I'm at it. Ball joints? Struts? Getting a bit more complicated and expensive but I guess I'll be learning a lot.... None of the broken bolts have had any threadlock on them that I've noticed - just a lot of rust. I've picked up some PB Blaster and was planning on working at removing the knuckle today. |
