All DOHC KAs use the same clutch - so just make sure it is for a 91-98 Nissan 240sx with KA24DE engine

I think the SOHC KAs use the same too - but I am not totally sure on that so dont quote me!

I have never heard that before?
I pulled the shift lock cable - from the shifter to the ignition and did not install it back - and had "0" issues?

Sounds to me like you ignition messed up somehow?
There is that little button you need to press in to remove your key - I bet somthing is messed up there.

Just curious, where are those part numbers from?

Nissan

and another quick tip - stay away from the bolt kits on ebay - they are crap!
Trust me I know first hand!

Hey Where did you get yours for 500 bucks???
That does not include the transmission right?
How much was the total cost?
How can I find a shop that knows what they're doing on 240sx in NYC area.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can use the KA and SR gear box and rear of the tranny - but you will need the SR bellhousing for the SR and the KA bellhousing for the KA.

The ODBII S14 trannies have 2 holes (bolt hole and CAS hole) ontop the bellhousing for the crank angle sensor.

You can use the S13 and S14 ODBI or ODBII bellhousings on any DOHC KA - but on the ODBII S14 it will more than likely throw a code if you do not use the crank angle sensor. The ODBII S14 car will run without the CAS - but I doubt it will pass emissions with the check engine light on?

Best bet is find a good tranny or rebuild one and find a ODBII S14 bellhousing.

You also have the sensors to deal with as well.

If that wont work, can I just use a OBD1 trans/bell housing and wire around the crank angle sensor? Im assuming the crank angle sensor is just a resistor type sensor, if it is, than I can just use a variable rate resistor on the signal wire and adjust it until it no longer throws the code...

Kinda crazy, but it just might work haha.

No the auto bellhousing will not work.
As for wiring around the CAS - I have cant say really I havent looked into it.

Thats cool, wouldnt it actually be more efficient and cause less CELs to show up if you find an OBD1 5sp ECU?
For example, my combination Im thinking about running would be:
OBD1 KA trans with an OBD1 5sp ECU in a OBD2 S14.
But would that OBD1 ECU run the OBD2 motor OK? And it should be a plug and play ECU swap right? (no jumper harness)

Also, will a S13 clutch and brake pedal assembly work in a S14?

pedals are interchangeable- just make sure you get a brake pedal with a cruise control sensor if your car currently has it and i have heard that you will also need to shim one of the bolts on the clutch pedal for the pedal to mount at the correct angle. as far as ECMs go, i am pretty sure you need to get a M/T ECM that matches your production year. however, josh can confirm this. also, check the pin numbers and harness layout between the ECMs you are thinking of swapping. this may provide your answer straight away.

Also IMO you are trying to do way to much work - if you want a ODBI car - sell yours and get a ODBI car - IMO its much easier - as you might go threw all this trouble and it will not work like you planned.

If you have a ODBII car and want to pass emissions - get your year ODBII ECU - plus the tranny bellhousing.

You can use the s13 pedal on a s14 - you may have to use a few washers to level it up on 1 side - I have done it before without the washers and you couldnt even tell though. Just check it when you put it in.

Agin I would try your best to get a s14 pedal assembly w/ sensors and connector w/ pigtail - if you dont get these you will have to straight wire them in.

Not to make a sale but you have so many questions that are answered in my DVD - I have no problem helping you out - but to be fair to my pervious buyers - please watch it and then you can ask me all the questions you like - I will help as much as i can.

Thanx!

Oh also, I swapped the ECU for a 5 spd ECU, so maybe its not the Neutral saftey or park neutral switch?

Well the auto harness works best IMO.
5 Speed ECU is recommended as well.

As for the Park switch (the only 2 wire plug behind the fuse box) - you just jumper the 2 wires on it together - this connector is behind the fuse box in the engine bay.
There are 2 options - jumper the actual harness and loose the connector all together - or jumper the plug and plug it into the connector.

***If you relocated your battery - make sure you ran a wire to the starter from the battery

No problem man.
Yes its the only 2 wire plug (there are 4 plugs in a row) on the S14 its the top plug and I cant remember which location on the S13 it is but its the smaller of all the plugs and its a 2 wire plug as well.

As for the relocation - the starter has a power wire and a signal wire - the power wire being the thicker of the 2 - there are many ways of wiring up the relocation - the most basic way - is to keep the harness intack and use the stock posative battery cable - cut off the termanal - and extend it to the trunk (as you will still need to power everything)- of course there is more involved than just this.

Yes any connector not used can be cut off and taped up to the harness - just make sure the cut wire will never touch any other open wire or metal or you will have issues.
I am not sure if you using the s13 or s14 harness or car for that matter?
On the S14 tranny harness you have - from from front to rear - crank angle sensor (on ODBII), Reverse lamp switch, OD (5th) pos. switch, Neutral pos. switch, Speed sensor. You will use all of these with the 5 speed and auto harness. Reverse and Neutral is the only 2 you really need though.

If you have the lower harness too - it will have the subconnector to connect the tranny harness to, the starter wiring, oil press switch wire, alternator wiring, battery wiring, fuse box wiring - you will connect all of these.

The S13 tranny harness has - from front to rear - Speed sensor connector, Reverse lamp switch, Top (4th) pos. switch, OD (5th) pos. switch, Neutral pos. switch and the lower harness is the same as the S14

You do not need to connect the Top (4th) pos. switch or the OD (5th) pos. switch on the S13 tranny. But you can if you want it to be like factory.

You confused me on that one - post a pic of how you jumpered the wires and the location of them etc.
That will help understand alot better.

Awsome glad you got it running - not sure on the dash lights though - the wiring for the 5 speed swap has nothing to do with those lights?

If I had the $$ I would for sure

I'm in the middle of my 5speed swap and was finishing up the last bit of wiring when I came to the automatic speed control device step.
Looking at this picture which isn't mine, it's another s14.

I noticed that I have the two connecters on the right but not the one blue one on the far left...where did that come from. This is needed to complete the clutch cancel switch...any help guys would be appreciated.

'SO ITS A ROTARY MUSTANG, WITH HEADERS, PISTONS, AND CAMSHAFTS EH??, NICE MAN' <actual quote

'my drinking team has a racing problem'

Yes you will need that sensor on the clutch pedal for the cancel switch - if you would watched my DVD I go over this very clearly - as so many people have the same issues.

Not sure if the CA uses the same gearbox as the KA? I knwo the SR does.
To be safe just get a clutch kit for the CA.

Not sur eif you are the guy I have talking to over email? Please send me a email - i will try to help as much as I can.

I just pulled a S13 KA24DE Tranny harness yesterday so I will be more clear on what all is what agin.

yes its a great idea - it has actually been around for years - just be very careful to not break or strip out the threads on your flywheel!
