I'm New Here And I have A Simple Question Thread, (No Flaming Allowed)

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Is a ka24 from an altima a direct swap into a 240? I found a low milage motor for 150 from an altima also my 240 is a 91 auto but I just need it to run while i get together my swap

No, IIRC, the bolt pattern for the transmission is different.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

naturally i overreacted when i thought the valves were hitting the pistons. i called my brother and he reminded me of the valve springs existence. it was just the resistance from the valve springs that i was feeling. sorry for the outburst (not that anyone read it)

With all your plugs out, while you turn it, it should turn pretty easily... and not just flat out "Stop" like you were saying. If you can make a complete rotation, you should be good.

Hey guys, I have a '91 s13 coupe, i've switched to s14 manual belt sin front, so i dont have those stupid lap belt assemblys in the back anymore. Wondering if an s14 carpet will fit my car? (i dont want an s13 carpet with big unecessary bulges lol)

I'm pretty sure the S14 carpet won't fit in the S13. I'm pretty much backing this up on the fact that the S14 floor mats are nothing like the S13 floor mats, so the passenger compartment is most likely different. (Maybe different trans tunnel design??).

oh i forgot to reply to the guy above me. i dont think it would be a direct swap seeing as how the altima is fwd and the 240 is rwd. dont quote me on that though, but im pretty sure.

altima's have a variation of a ka? i just bought mine a week or two ago so i dont know anything about them.

Not the same engine at all. Cane use it unless you can fabricate.

[MICRoS13]

How do i know if i have abs or not ?? i have an 89 hatch no power anything... i wanted to know because im buying rotors & pads & i heard theres abs rotors & non abs rotors

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Chances are you don't have ABS, but I think it came as a package with HICAS and a limited slip diff. If you don't have either, you don't have ABS. You could also pop the hood, follow your brake lines, and look for an ABS module.

Alright, so my 240 has a front end problem. This is the situation, the drivers side front wheel is the problem. When i cut the wheel all the way left, the tire rubs fender (not up top, down by where it meets the door). And when i turn it right it makes the same noise. I've noticed the the front drivers side wheel sits closer to the rear of the wheel well than the passenger side.. Any idea what part might be bad that is causing this?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Sounds like the car has been in an accident... maybe your entire cross member is out of wack? Tough to say without seeing it in person.

[youngmoney]

i realized there was no way the maxima had a variation of the ka when i layed down the other night. its a v6 fwd motor im retarded haha

[billabong093]

So these rotors will work when i bolt on my z32 rear hubs and go 5 lug right? Im wanting to stick with the stock calipers in the rear, the rear z upgrade sound like a nightmare.

Yup, they should work just fine.

Hey everyone, my question kinda goes in line with billabong. But would these parts equate to a complete 5 lug conversion and me still be able to retain the stock s13 calipers?

That will get you 5 lug with working brakes, yes.

The removal and replacement of the wheel should be the same. I am not sure if the wiring is different. I also tried searching and didn't find it.

[youngmoney]

how do i siphon gas out of my car if theres a screen in the way? can i just go in through the trunk?? i would just poke the screen out but i dont want that to clog my fuel pump

[OutToWinPAHC]

You can open the trap door in the trunk and get into the tank from there. But I would get a new tank gasket. Just avoid hitting the sending unit and pump too much.

Thank you both sooooo much. Cuz I had a guy at the Nissan local junkyard tell me that the 5 lug s14 se rotors are too big for my stock s13 calipers. Thank you guys.

[justinedible4]

So after some research, Im not going to buy Ichiba hubs. Too many people have showed me that they are no good and the only way to fix them is take the supplied bearings out and press in new OEM S13 bearings. I dont have money for that soo Im going with all s14 stuff now. I know that the s14 rear hub bolts up fine with no modification but the front requires:

S14 front hubS14 SE spindlesS14 ball joints

Im a newb and my question is, with the s14 spindles will that affect any coilovers i buy or any other suspension components up front? e.g. lca, tension rod, etc.

Thank you

[zenki!]

Hi I'm new here. Just got an s14 with an AT, and I was wondering; is there a regional s14 forum? I'm from NJ and looking for shops that can do me an AT to 5sp swap, or even an SR swap with that... since i am not mechanically inclined.

[chicos240]

YEP...zeromaingo to the bottom

[youngmoney]

god siphoning gas from the tank is ridiculous. not to mention it stinks the whole damn house up! i have a headache haha

This thread is for asking questions and answering them. It's NOT for you to post about your day..

Hmmm... it might be slightly different for your coilovers, but it shouldn't be anything that their adjustability couldn't overcome any way.Also, whenever I've replaced the front ball joints, I've replaced the entire control arm...

[BlackLabel24]

Anyone know what rims these are?Edit: I know its very hard to tell but does anyone know what kind of brides those are?

[Gnarboy240]

the wheels look like SSR Professors IMO. ballin wheels but youll pay for them.

my question is if anyone knows were to find the ka24e to ka24de swap write up if there is one. i looked around and couldnt find one. thanks.

[justinedible4]

Another quick question here guys. If I press in S13 OEM bearings into s14 hubs, can i keep the s13 spindles?

I looked them up and I cant find a store that has them for less than $600 each which is way out of my price range... I dont know much about rims, would anyone know any similar 5 spoke black rims? Thanks

[zenki!]

My stock s14 front seats feels like it sits too high, like my head is going to hit the roof. Is there an after market seat rail i could use with the stock seats to make them lower?
