[240sxdriftSRT-4]

sounds good to me

[Joesph R Cooper]

nah, I was looking to make a budget turbo setup my friend had a stock WRX turbo lying around & told me he'd let it go for $300 so I almost bought it.....

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Yeah, DEFINATELY not worth $300. It is too small for a KA anyway.

whats needed to install z32 rear calipers on a 4 bolt s13?

Thanks

[rzerob]

This website will tell you everything you will need to know.

But to install you need the z32 calipers, rotors, rear splash guards and r33 brake cable. 240sx calipers have the ebrake inside them, the z32 calipers don't, so you need the rear splash guards or you won't have an ebrake. I just did this myself and it is not easy, I would not attempt unless you have some experience under your belt or if you have someone that can help. Also With you having 4 lug you will either need to convert your hubs or have a hole drilled in the z32 rotor so they will fit your 4 lug. Good luck, like I said it isn't easy but it is worth it if you upgrade to z32 brakes on all 4 wheels. Also I would definately recomend upgrading the master cylinder it is a noticable difference and I believe a must for the upgrade.

Hi thanks alot man!, anyways i was trying to source the answer because someone wants to buy them off of me. For the time being he does not care for the e-brake functionality. Just to get it to "bolt" on and work. So aside from the calipers all he would need is some conversion lines and rotors?

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

why have i been searching for like 30 mins on the internet and sr faq to find out what kind of block the sr has. Is it cast aluminum or iron? I havent seen it stated in the sr faq spec list.

I have a zenki s13 and am swapping to RB20det, i have a couple questions:

whats the most cost effective way to convert from 4cyl to 6cyl rpm gauge? will the Auto Meter 9118 Magneto Signal Converter work?

Second i would like to use the rb transmission since my ka has 170k on it, how can i get the rb transmission to clear? do i have to cut the firewall or r their some motor mounts that would save me some cutting?

Help!!!

[THE-D]

quick questioni want to replace my tension control rod bushings

http://www.energysuspensionpar...=1336

Ask your question here zeroforum?id=135 they are RB specific and I am not 100% sure about it but I am pretty positive you would have to use the RB transmission. I don't believe the ka transmission will match up with any RB motor. Ask to be sure on the above website but I am almost certain you can't match the ka and RB.

"quick questioni want to replace my tension control rod bushingshttp://www.energysuspensionpar...=1336

Yeah they should be in there, I just did these two weeks ago. I bought the energy suspension bushing kit for my S14 and they were in there. I ripped mine almost completely out at the track, so they needed replaced. Just to help you out, a press will make this job a whole lot easier. I think you can rent them at autozone. Have fun.

thanks bro

My 96 ka24de started immediately today but died just a few seconds later. i restarted it and it died two more times. It had been turned off about 30 minutes earlier and its about 95 degrees out today so i thought this might be a heat soak issue but i'm still worried. any advice?

Just a guess but, IACV? Make sure you have no vacuum leaks. Does it stay running if you keep on the throttle?

[ashoe]

It stayed running when i got on the throttle and ran fine after about five minutes. i can't find any leaks and i replaced all the vacuum hoses when i bought the car about three months ago. the only engine mod is a aem cold air intake that was on the car when i bought it but seems to be correctly installed. Is there any way i can test the IACV?

sorry, i searched and now know how to test the IACV

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Hmm... I don't know of a way of testing the IACV, but it almost sounds like you may also be having a problem with your coolant temp sensor.

Coolant comes up to temp on the gauge quickly and stays rock steady at 1/3 of the way up? is there another sensor i should look at? I've never seen the car overheat or even go up to half on the gauge.

[rzerob]

What does it idle at?

[ashoe]

It idles smoothly at about 650, except when its trying to die. 1000 when the ac is on.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

don't confuse the coolant temp sensor with the thermostat. The sensor is on the front of the motor, kinda above/near the throttle body.

[rzerob]

I think your idle is to low. I adjusted mine to around 650 today and it kept wanting to shut off on me. Started up great went to idle then died. I adjusted it back to 800rpms and it ran fine. I would adjust my idle a little higher and you should be fine.

[nismoracingsx]

Hi, i need to fab an intake to help with some clearance issues. I searched and see that the stock ka24de throttle body is 60mm. Converted thats about 2.36 in? Went to Lowe's to look around and they only have 2in or 3in couplers. Think I could stretch the 2in rubber coupler on there? b/c i doubt the 3in would seal i searched on ebay but didn't see what I was wanting, and don't want to wait for shipping anyways..ideas?

*EDIT

nvm, found reducers on ebay for 2.5" to 3", guess i'll have to wait for it in the mail

crosspost from my thread, im lazy lol.

update, i just got all the paperwork and whatnot for the car (cuz i bought it myself with my own money, im pretty proud of myself :P) and it has eibach pro-kit kyb agx shocks? or springs, i dunno haha. i guess that explains why the ride was so stiff when me and my dad took it for a test drive lol. are they good? im assuming these are adjustable, so that means i can lower it and whatnot if i wanted too? sorry if my noobness is showing

Sounds like an easy and cheap fix. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

[PapaSmurf2k3]

You can't adjust ride height with that setup, but you can adjust dampening.

Hi guys,

I'm thinking abut buying an s13 (1990). My question what rate of theft do they have? Are they stolen frequently like Civic's, or are they left alone for the most part? The one I'm keen on getting just has rims, an exhaust and 180sx JDM tails on it.

TIA.

[s13r32]

Hey

I just finished my kade swap on my car...just woundering if there is a way to get the kae tac to work with the kade?

Im sure they are a bit more on the 'wanted' side as are the civics, especially with rims and 180 jdm taillights. i have an 89 240sx and a 2000 civic and so far i havent had any problems with either. altho my 240 looks worse than stock, but my civic with rims and all that stuff i havnt had a problem. also depends on your area and where your going to drive the car

Well what I did was just swap the gauge cluster from a sohc one to a dohc one. Works like a charm. Even got those led bulbs for the cluster and put em in as I swapped em.
