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!

Hi, any idea why the bottom screw on a clutch master cylinder would be wet?...my clutch height has been set to 7 inches from floorboard like the fsm described. using autozone cmc. ne way to seal it?? use some vaseline in that area??

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?

would it be from the hard line threadings? is there anything i need to put in those like thread sealer or teflon tape( i dink brake fluid eats thru that).cmc is new and installed 1/2 a year ago. thanks

No thats why there is a flared end, its not needed. You could try replacing the line.

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?

Post by **DRIFTKNIGHT_240** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 8:47 am

the oil level in the transmission is ok, but still smoke coming out the shift boot?\

maybe a seal or rubber in the shifter /??

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 transmission. 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.

Post by **justinedible4** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 1:49 pm

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?

What does the exhaust manifold cover do? Dampen noise from the exhaust? I only have basic mechaical ablities. But I shouldnt have any concerns as far as removing this for cleaning / painting?

does anyone have a link to the factory manual for the s13 sr20det with torque specs? I need to learn everything I can before I do the swap

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.
