version select has alot of the kouki spin offs. i think an entire set comes out to around 600$ so prolly 200$ a bumper, check ehm out

9 in the front is what most people run, 9 +15, and then rears like 10/.5 is pushing it but you can do it

remember, you can run pretty much any size (within reasonable limits) by running crazy camber. this gives you "gangster fitment" so do what u want

i have 8 +20 and 9 +15 staggered widths (f/r)

no, you have to worry about offset. it has to be pretty damn low, you can always run bolt in spacers

and my works, eurolines, dont have work on the rims... they might be some special edition shit or fakes. but i doubt fakes

I should have been more clear, I meant the silvia aero bumper, not the 180sx kouki/type x bumper.

have you tried googling s13 silvia replica bumper?
not making fun of you, thats seriously how I find most of the items I am shopping for, then when the results come up, select the shopping tab on the top and it will sort out in order by price and lacation, and it will show only the true for sale items.

90' 240sx hatch. (all stock car) Im looking into buying 16x8 wheels with a zero offset. What modifications would i have to do to my car? Would the zero offset be too much, and hit the coilovers n such?

Looking at RPF1's 17x9 +22 up front and 17x10 +18 out back.. If they'll fit without much modding needed. Want to have nice flush fitment.
Anyone have ideas for tyre size for this setup as well?

usually when I dont know where to post a thread, I search for another one similar to what I want to post, I make sure it's not locked and I post int he same section..
I would think
general chat would be the right spot though

s13 @ fullboost · 07-08-2010, 03:50 AM

you know the dent you get when you roll/pull to much on the rear quarter panel? how the F do you get them out ? I know someone knows what I am talking about I have seen other s13's with them its from pulling much and its the same dent in the same spot on both right and left side of the car

*gorillas13* · 07-08-2010, 09:32 AM

I'm trying to find out if anyone knows what throwout bearing to use with the HKS twin plate clutch. I've emailed HKS and called numerous shops that used to carry this clutch(It's now discontinued except for rebuild parts which don't come with a throwout bearing).

most people usually just bondo it, but if thats not an option lightly pound it in with a metal hammer, and the hold the back so you can form the crease where the pull is... if you know what i mean

i had the same issue when i bougth my blitz twin plate, i had to find a website that had the parts catalog with the part numbers for each clutch and individual part then i found the part # for the bearing for my clutch and corssreferenced it with nissan , usually they are bearings already used on other nissan cars, for example the one for the blitz twin plate for an s14 is the same bearing used in the stock. 350z

WIthout damaging the paint use a football, wedge it in there and inflate it slowly till the dent pops out.

no they aren't the same. if your good at wiring, you can probably get it to work... but its easier if you just find an s14. hows the wiring harness?

remove everything you need to get to the "backside of the quarter panel.

take an deflated baskteball, and put it where the dent is. pump up the basketball. you might have to work with it a bit, but it should create enough pressure to pop the dent. good luck.

totally didnt realize someone posted the same idea with a football. my bad.

ineedfire · 07-09-2010, 12:11 AM

What offset can I go safely without touching suspension etc on enkei rpf1 17x9 and 17x10?
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.

good idea guys Have you done this and does it actually work ?? because I can get a suction cup on it and it will pull it out but when I release in snaps right back in. 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

DDB240sx · 07-09-2010, 06:55 AM

I need help. Let me start off by saying I really don't know a whole lot about transmissions and such, I'm still learning. I got an sr20det redtop in my s13. Randomly when I come to a stop it acts like it doesn't want to engage into 1st gear. Other times it shifts perfectly. I don't want to try and force it into 1st cause I don't want to ruin my transmission. I'm running a stock clutch and flywheel. What could be my problem? Do I need a new clutch? Is a synchro going bad? I just need some insight, I'm sure some of you have dealt with this before.

heavenboundkevin · 07-09-2010, 11:35 AM

^ i have the same problem on my ka24de. i would also like to know the answer.

DDB240sx · 07-09-2010, 11:54 AM

I spoke with the shop that I deal with and he told me something to the effect that the sychronizers are... out of alignment? He said it's a common thing with these transmissions and the best solution is shift it into another gear and then into 1st. It works, I just wish I knew if there was something else.

ZX88 · 07-09-2010, 12:32 PM

where can i find those special bolts for bolt on spacers. the ones that connect the spacer to the hub.

wh0aitznic0 · 07-09-2010, 12:34 PM

I believe they're regular open ended lugs you can get at any autozone/advance/napa.
