I have a 1993 s13 coupe,auto to manual swapped already when i bought it. I was making left turn and and i accidently hit the wiper switch so bad then my car just turned off but i found what went bad, , which is the ignition switch fuse (30amp) blew up so i replaced it then car started again, engine starts up. I put it on first gear, i was going to drive it, car moved just a little bit but then died down . I couldnt find out what wrong, the car cranks but wont start. I checked all the fuses are good, relay and fuel pump, i even checked the fuel filter to see if fuel pump is good. I have Know idea what else to check, now my Wiper is kinda retard, the SWITCH is OFF , everytime i have the key in the ignition , its at on acc. Wiper just keep moving and moving and moving, i cant turn it off unless if the key is unplugged, any help , ideas??? I think it something about wirings because its auto to manual swapped

How low is the car? If it's super low, it sounds like your driver's wheel might have rubbed through the harness in the wheel well. I can't think of any way someone might have borked wiring an S13 for a manual swap to blow ignition fuses and cause the wipers to act wonky, so I'm left to think you've got a harness rub through somewhere.

Short fix is to re-wrap each wire like that. The better fix is to splice in new wire and use heatshrink to protect the solder joints.

Once you repair the damaged wires, move the harness up and out of the fender well to prevent rubbing.

I bought an s14 vlsd diff with abs. I have not started swapping it into my car. I just want to know if it will fit perfect without CHANGING my driveshaft??? I know i should use the s14 bolts with the bushing but what else should i do? And also the ABS sensor on my Diff is missing. What can i do to cover it? Any ideas???

If your car is non-ABS, your driveshaft will not work. As for covering up the hole, a short bolt wrapped in sealant tape will be sufficient.

The ABS diffs are longer than non-ABS diffs to accommodate the ABS sensor. The driveshaft for an ABS car is shorter accordingly. So basically, using a non-ABS driveshaft on an ABS diff will result in your driveshaft being too long. Driveshafts come in two parts, the front part can be swapped around to match either an auto transmission or a manual transmission. The back part is matched to ABS or not. So, if you find an ABS driveshaft for an automatic car, you can still use it. You'll just need to swap the front half to match.

I have a problem with my car after the harness(under fender left side) rubbed
Now my cluster, cluster light, fan , ac/heater n etc. are bot working. I found out the ACC RELAY (under hood driver side) is blown, relay and connector are. Is this the reason why theyre not working??? I tried to cut the burnt connector, and peeled the wire. I got a new relay for acc and i connected the peeled wires to new connector. STILL DIDNT WORK. Do you guys thinks, this is the problem? Can it be something else. Or the wires are just burnt? And Need to be replace??? Please help
