Hks SSQV Snap Ring - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I bought my SSQV without a flange so I ordered up an HKS flange. When it got the thing it was missing the Oring and snap ring. I already got the Oring but I cannot find the snap ring anywhere. Anyone know where I can just get a snap ring to fit this thing? Thanks.

I know ebay links violate forum policy (or do they?) so please forgive me but I found that this would be relevant.

you might be able to get it through any auto parts store. just bring it with you. the flange doesnt come with anything at all. the o-ring and c-clip can be purchased separately through our website: http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=794&rsku=0 or contact http://www.fftec.com/contact.php which is one of our dealers

Yeah it is, I had to take the thing to Checker to have them do it for free... then I was harassed with questions about my SSQV and 240.

easiest way to do those snap rings for me is always to get one end in and use 2 screwdrivers and go around it slowly... watch it tho sometimes that emmer effer will spoiiiyoiyoiiiyoiiiiing.

Yeah, I just had to do mine. Thing is a BITCH. Oh, and I have an extra snap-ring (brand new one that came with the HKS bov). Make me an offer on it (including shipping) and its yours.

Yeah, or you could use snap ring pliers and do it in about 30 seconds with no problems...

OR NOT!

Even with Snap ring pliers it's A GODDAMN MOTHER FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS to get the c clip out.

So much so that I had to capitalize all that because I got so frustrated just thinking about it.
