OK so I cant seem to find a 93 gauge cluster. Will it matter if its a 95 analog cluster?

take the clutch back off, then reinstall it. Sounds like its not aligned properly. Mine did that last time I switched clutches.

I'm sure it can be done with a lot of cutting and welding, but it would be a ridiculous amount of work.... Besides, you'd have to buy a S13 hatch to cut out what u need for it... You'd need basically everything from the doors back...

You are going to want to look for an 89-94 (S13) analog cluster. Good luck!

S13.5 (and also S13.4) would fall into the best looking S13s thread (its still an S13 chassis), and S14.5 would similarly fall into its respective S14 thread. Nobody has started an S15 thread (that I know of) probably due to the fact that not many people on the board have one.

How old is the master? Any idea where it could be leaking from? Is it all dry around the hydraulic line? Try looking at the back of the master cylinder from inside the car... is it leaking from that rear diaphragm?

Question: When rear suspension is under sudden load (i.e. on bumps or leaving driveways) I hear a squeezing sound. My suspension is all stock but the springs on the back seem good -by pushing the back side downwards and seeing response. Is it the springs or bushings or what?

Scary thought, but maybe the smoke is actually coming from your engine... Could have an exhaust leak somewhere around your manifold or somewhere else before your tranny. Either way, the smoke isn't good, and if it's your engine, you need to find out why it's smoking.

I did a z32 front brake conversion on the front this year. Now, the rears grab before the front and of course the rims are crazy nasty after a few days. What can I do? The only way I have noticed the fronts really grabbing is to kinda stomp on the brakes at the last minute. Any help would be cool. Thanks guys/gals.

Hey guys I got 2 questions.1) Instead of deleting the emissions on a s14 KA Intake mani can you just use a S13 Intake Mani and the S13 wiring? 2) Will a 16x9 +12 offset wheel clear coils up front? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hm... I've never heard of that, and my brakes don't do that (Z32 fronts, stock rears)... Maybe you have a sticky rear caliper or something? Or maybe your fronts aren't bled correctly? Lastly, you could try switching to EBC green stuff pads (reduced brake dust).

Ok so I have been looking into some suspension upgrades nothing to drastic as of now. I am looking at some Tokico HB3035 shocks and struts with some Megan Racing 1.75" F/R drop springs. What I am needing to know is that going to be a problem sitting to low to the ground?

It depends on what you consider as low. If you are going to use the setup you mentioned, with stock 16's and no aero then I will say you wont be low at all. This will just be a minor drop and you will plenty of room to clear speedbumps.

Well it will have aero in the spring. I am planning on getting the Nismo kit from Andysautosport.com since they have it from Silk Automotive for 500. But after looking I may wait on these seeing as how they are non-adjustable, with that being the case what is a good coilover or even just shocks/struts and springs setup that wouldnt really make my wallet run and hide?

Its a heat shield... and no, you shouldn't have any major concerns. Just keep stuff away from your exhaust manifold (make sure your brake lines are routed properly, and your spark plug wires are in their clips and not hanging too low.

hey guys I have searched on here, google, zilvia, and some vw forums about diamond racing wheels and some say that they suck for DD cars but I cant seem to find a reason why they would suck. Some have said that they bend too easy but they are made for racing so would anyone else have anymore input on these wheels?

Not sure, that is a pretty specific question. You should try asking in the wheels/tires section of NICO. Also, post a link or something to said wheels. | Quote, originally posted by Dire91 » | Thanks! Also when going turbo why is important to get a different or new MAF doesn't a stock 240sx come with one? |
The stock 240sx DOES come with a mass airflow sensor, but it can't sense enough air for higher power levels (it can't meter that amount of air... it maxes out around 250whp). Where as an "N62" MAF (one from a twin turbo 300zx) can meter enough air for about 550whp.

Im working on my wiring harness for the SR. Everything is pretty basic i suppose, but i have a quick questions.Almost every wire i've cut has been copper on the inside, and i've been extending them with copper wire. The O2 sensor though has three wires coming out of it, two of which are the regular copper But there is one with silver wire in it? Is this aluminum or some other silverish metal? I was just wondering whether these can be extended with copper wire or if i have to get some silver wire to extend that one. Thanks

if anything you might want to use a lil dab of solder and none of that ironing s***... but only do that if the wire is not aluminum. say its stainless steel or just plain steel or even actual siver for the hell of it then id say use some form of solder to conduct it. or a hell of a wire nut....maybe a junction crimp deal but dont just twist em together and tape em.... it causes problems down the road when you have no idea what just shorted. believe me cause ive been there. just got done finding the ground fault from a led in my glove box.... now all my stuff is wired properly | Quote, originally posted by nightsauce » | you can use copper wire.

Why in the world did you try to make it complicated? The previously given advice was plenty. Plus, I don't know why you say "none of that ironing s***..." considering I made my entire wiring harness using pieces of another wiring harness and a wal-mart soldering iron.

The reason a wheel designed for racing would suck for a DD and bend too easy, is they try to make a wheel designed for racing as light as possible. Generally, the lighter you make something the more fragile it becomes.

It's going to be completely different depending on which engine you drop in your car. You need to first decide what engine you want to put in it. A lot of people have dropped LSx series engines in theirs so that's probably the swap you'll receive the most help with. Start by checking here: http://forums.nicoclub.com/zeromain?id=173
