i would only charge shipping cost for something like that- the problem is that i would have to get it off the car first and i still have more pieces to pull from the other donor car before i bring the coupe out of the woods. i could try to accelerate the schedule for you if you really need it from me though.

EDIT: just send me an e-mail if you can't find it any place else.

oh man! :D yeah i'll look around local forums for a breather hose, i'll post a thread up tonight, but if you manage to get it off, that would be pretty tight!

ahh and for the bell housing bracket, you think my automatic transmission will have one i can use? or is it different?

there's nothing special with the hose, just rubber, you can even use a rubber hose that fit the nipple. the whole idea for it extend to the top by the bell housing is so that water doesn't get into it.

falken or diggles any of you guys still down to ship that hose? :P

and finally the last part of my clutch pedal came in, (the bushings that holds the spring), it was a ***** putting the spring on but managed to get it on there.. ended up scratching the hell out of my housing that i just re-painted oh well



probably spend.. hmm $40-50ish total on clutch pedal, that will hopefully last for a while..

Here's the trick. This large bolt goes on last after everything is in place. You need some elbow grease, but you can install spring and bushings without scratching the housing. You will need someone to put the bolt in the hole while you line up the housing and clutch pedal.

what im starting to wonder about is wiring, does anyone know a link to a detailed DIY on the wiring part of the s13 swap? i found one for the s14.. but don't want to use that.. hmm

and for the lower transmission harness, do i need to go buy a manual one, or does my car already have one that i have to do some modifying to? hmm

idk other people, but wiring was the easiest part for me. Ignore brown/yellow wire in the picture. That's for the convertible top. You can find more info in here.

2 of them are longer than other 4. Either 11 & 5 o'clock or 1 and 7 o'clock ones are longer. They are 11 or 12mm metric bolts. Well, just get them from dealership and be done with it.

how similar is the wiring between the s13 and s14?

there are detailed wiring guides for the s14 ..but not the s13 .. :S

and also, i decided not to buy they m/t bellhousing bolts on ebay, but i found out the thread size which is M10 X 1.5 thread/pitch, so i got that down so i don't have to worry about stripping the engine, also the nuts and washers i need to get, would i be able to use the same ones off my a/t?? or should i get new nuts / washers?... it would be easiest if i could just use my a/t nuts / washers.. but let me know!

thanks

If you buy it from the dealership it will cost u a hefty amount of money. They most likely will have to order all of it. I just went to the dealer and it will take about 1 week to come in.. But at least you know its the riht bolts and has the right hardness

Trust me. It's been discontinued. Later dealership will tell him 'Sorry, it's NLA(No Longer Available).' I got mine from ACE hardware store.

are the nuts are the hardware store not hard enough to support? so should i just go to the dealership? or could i survive with hardware store bolts?

thanks"

They sell bolts as hard as you want them. I pick up grade 8 for most the stuff I replace when working on my car, even if it only requires half that strength. I think I've seen 10 there too.
