What part of the cold pipe are you talking about? Do you want the entire cold line from turbo to throttle body? Do you just need a piece with a BOV flange? Need some specifics bro.

[billyinse]

i got a motor(sohc) for my 1990 240 shell from a scrap yard my buddy snagged a distributor from another 240 while i was taking the motor out and it dosent have the plug on the end of it.... any pics of which wire goes where on the plug ( i guess its a replacement distributor cuz it has all different wire colors from what its suposed to) ...... anything helps thanks ...oh yeah its the hitachi distributor....(whats the difference? as well)

opps my bad.i ment to say i need a coldpipe for a fmic. for an s14 sr20.

just the coldpipe. like intercooler to throttlebody.

i cant fine anywhere that sells jsut that piece. you have to buy an entire intercooler kit..

I'd help you find one, but I need to know what size piping. 2.5" good enough? You can find just tubing, but most of what I'm finding is before and after the intercooler...

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Its because most times the piping is intercooler specific, so they sell it in a kit.

One cold pipe wont necessarily work with different intercoolers (think IC size, mounting locations, piping outlet locations, etc).

Your best bet is to either buy an entire kit, or fabricate your own from scratch.

Map out your path and buy some elbows and straight lengths, then tie it all together with some silicoups.

Hello, it's been a while since I came by here, anyways I have a little problem with my 95 240sx Master cylinder clutch connecting adapter, 1 side of it broke off of the pedal, my question is do they sell it individually?

This is the part I'm referring to:

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Yikes dude, that sucks!

I don't think they sell it separately, but maybe if you call the dealership and ask them if it comes on a new master. Other options would be to go to the junkyard and get one, or to fabricate one yourself... its not a very complex part.

[HasakiS14-5]

Yeah I'll ask around and check the junkyards, because of this now shifting the gears is bit of a hassle since the rod won't press in all the way.

If you cant find one at the junk yard.... take it off a 5 speed Nissan Maxima..... I got mine off a max

[HasakiS14-5]

Great, thanks for the info.

[youngmoney]

are the straps that hold up the gas tank the only things holding that you have to remove to take it out? the straps are undone and all the fuel lines are disconnected but it still wont come down. any suggestions??

I got new wheels a while ago, I need to flatten not flare the lip on my fenders. Is it worth renting a fender for this? I hear it is easier and sometimes better just to heat up the fender and bang the lip flat with a heavy rubber mallet using your other hand to support the outside of the fender.

Not really worth the rental if after you're done using it, you have to go around and bend it all more anyways. I would be careful using the mallet tho.

[allenms240]

I'm not new herem but I do have a simple question. And I don't want to get flamed. So...Under my valve cover, there is a crapload of gunk.How should I go about cleaning it? Just wipe it off with a rag? Should I use any solvents?Thanks =D

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Use some degreaser and/or dawn. Just make sure you rinse it out really good and don't leave any soap in there.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

^ or water.

Are you just worried about the gunk under the valve cover... or is there more in your engine bay somewhere?

You could try giving your engine the "seafoam treatment".

[allenms240]

Yeah its gunk all up under the valve cover, im not sure if it is in the block or in other parts of the head. I did seafoam once a while ago and it didnt remove any of it. I gues I'll just go at it with a wet cloth.Maybe another seafoam...

[speedeast]

You tried putting seafoam in your oil before?

[allenms240]

gastank, brake booster line, and the crankcase.Then after letting it run for 15mins, i changed the oil out.No change

[Dire91]

THanks, is it true I have to remove plastic s*** under the fender seeing that its connected to the tabs on the lip i need to bend.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Yeah, you'll probably have to unbolt your inner wheel well thing.

did any automatic models of the 240sx come with lsd? i have an 89 automatic s13 and it left two tire marks when doing a burnout. everything on the car is stock except for the turbo kit :P (note: it spun 18's)

Larger wheels are easier to spin. (Height, not width) As far as coming with an LSD, it's my understanding that the LSD came as an option for SE models, and was also included with the hicas models.
