Installed it, The car would stay on for more than 5secs now but eventually drop idle and die. But heres the weird part now...when I unplug the CT harness from the sensor the car stays on, rough-to-ok idle. Now when I step on the brake pedal, idle drops and if I keep pumping the brakes the car will die. So do I have a vacuum leak? or bad brake booster?

And I don't know if it's another cause to my problem but I do have a leak from the header. Missing like 3 bolts T_T car came like that. That would cause me running rich? but would it cause the car to die/stall?

just started to rub the wires about to rub right through a couple of them. could you possibly post a link for a how to as well. thanks

Under the hood. Unplug and relocate. You can also pull it up. Or fab up a plate or some sort. Use the search function. Common enough problem that there is many threads on this. C'mon man.

cheapest way = beer/coke cans + steel zipties

remove fender and pull it up or relocate it so its nice

Hey, can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm doing a full suspension rebuild/upgrade and the last parts that I need are LCA bushings(front & rear) and tension rod bushings. ..but, of course, nissan doesn't sell 'em separate.

So does anyone know where I can get rubber LCA and tension bushngs?? ..I don't really wanna use poly for these arms.

Okay I came up on a apexi n1 exhast cannon but only the muffler and no resonator. If I were to put the apexi and put it straight to the cat, would it be loud? Would it sound all ricey and gay or would it sound mean and good? also should i just take off the cat and just go all straight piping and just have a muffler?

what motor are you running?

[chiboy002]

anyone know a good high temperature heat that looks like the gold brembo color?

ive only seen a few pale golds and then like orange-golds. nothing yellow-gold

[azsr20det]

if i remove the up and down adjustment stuff from my steering column, does it stay in the location i left it in when it was removed? or fall limp or what?
i wanna take it off so i can put my gauge trim back in, and im thinking id just leave it off.
looks way cleaner without the plastic cover/wiper & signal stalks
car doesnt need wipers, i can put headlights on a switch, and signals dont appear to work anyways. im sure they could be given buttons if i really need them

question was the first bolded part.
rest was additional jargon, feel free to give imput on that too.

ok i tried installing godspeed gen2 toe arms on my s13 today but i couldn't get them in.



that part was too long and i could only get it in if i took off one of the little round end pieces but with 2 there was no way it would fit. i'm wondering maybe there's smaller ones for s13's cause if i remember correctly the s14 part where it bolts up is bigger. anyone know what this could be?

from reading this thread...
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/416544-fort...ms-normal.html

seems like they gave you the wrong spacer(from s14 which are bigger).
may be that is some help.

Rubber Megan bushings on ebay, Nismo bushings or replacement OEM arms are your best options.

Falls limp

If it's like a spring binding noise then that is 'normal' for most coils.... there really should be a bearing on the spring so it can rotate without binding but for whatever reason there isn't on most coilovers. You can try torrington bearings but I hear they don't last long.
If it's more of a popping noise try tightening the top hats/camber plates

[DenkiMan!]

does anyone know the specs to this part: 55424-33P00 (S14 Differential Bushing Long Bolt)

help anybody?

[shiftdrift]

it's most likely the auto ecu. my idle jumped up a bit when i 5 speed swapped and left the auto ecu.
