ka24de vs. ka24det - Round II

[brizanden]

seriously i have yet to have one ever lol

[Razi]

good deal man can you get us custom titles? lol

Haha, the other mods are working on them.
In the new forum software people get a "title" when they are put in a certain group.
You could make a separate group for every user with a custom title, but I think they are trying to see if there will be a better solution than that.

[Chris28]

Haha nice Razi! Supposedly I'm a vendor, but we never cut enough vinyl to actually sell haha.

Anyone know off the top of their heads if s14 rotors are the same size as s13 rotors? I think as far as USDM they are the same, but I'm trying to figure out if I can use my s13 calipers with the s14 rotors I'm getting for my 5 lug stuff.

[Razi]

Haha, was it your Ignite Soul stickers?

I'm like 90% sure that S13 and S14s use the same rotors.

[Chris28]

Yeah, I sent a sticker to WD and got approved but then never did anything else with it.

I'm getting s14 calipers and rotors for $30 so I'll have what I need regardless, I just don't feel like buying new pads for the s14 calipers haha.

[brizanden]

no i tried to put my sloted rotors off the kouki on my s13 no dice up front. rear fit tho. s14 have a slightly larger caliper.

[Chris28]

Briz, google came up with some random thread where you posted contradicting info hahaha. I'll see if I can find it again.

Aight, I think s14 rotors are indeed 10mm thicker, but there is a lot of misinformation. Enjuku sells rotors for s13/s14 and only differentiates between abs/non abs. I'll just see if they fit when I get everything.

[brizanden]

lol how old was it? and what was it on? i probably said something went and asked someone found out i was wrong and came back and hopefully said the right thing lol.

[biggie]

IIRC, S14 kouki and zenki are different sizes, so zenki S14 and S13 may be the same or the S14 non-ABS = S13 ABS. Something weird like that.

[Chris28]

After further research, I think the only difference in rotor thickness is between the abs models. You can use s13 non abs calipers on non abs s14 rotors. Not sure about pad size though, seeing as some ebay listings are for 89-96 and some are for 89-98.

edit: Biggie that would make the ebay listings make sense. I'll just get the calipers and compare them to my current ones. All I really need are the pads, but I'd need to know if these calipers are abs or non abs first.

[spooled240]

I sold my old kouki brakes to my buddy who has a zenki and he said my calipers looked as if they needed a larger rotor

check out the new xxr wheels
527


526


look at that rear lip

I like the 527's in gold but I want some lip and you can get the 526's in 18x10.5 +20

[Razi]

Dayum!

So you have S14 calipers and are trying to match rotors? I've never looked at difference of ABS vs nonABS on S14s.

[Chris28]

I have s14 calipers and rotors, I just need pads haha. I'm wondering if I can use the s13 calipers on the s14 rotors, and if not then if I can use the s13 pads in the s14 calipers. I'm getting them later today, I'll check everything then.

Josh...I've had my eye on those 527's since they were announced, a friend of mine's boss personally knows the main US xxr guy and might be able to get me the hook up on them haha. I really really want the gunmetal ones.

[biggie]

I'd like to have the Square wheels Enjuku is carrying for my Vert, alas, no money.

16x9 +15 and 17lbs each would be great to replace my 8" 0 offset 002.

[fiznowler]

If it wasn't super crappy out I would measure the rotors all for you. I have a set of kouki base rotors, kouki se rotors, zenki se rotors and base s13 rotors off my 92. None of them are abs though. I am pretty certain the s14 kouki base and se rotors were the same though when I 5lug swapped my friends car.

yeah I like the fat lip on the 526's but they look like they have a convex face probably to clear BBK.. which I hate

i like the 527's but they look like battles which you see everywhere

idk i probably won't get them lol

[motoman399]

I like living on my own, but wish I had interwebs so I could come stop by more often. Hi guys

[homeslicej2]

^hey dude! We got a bit over 5" of snow here, Atlanta got b/t 7-8". I had to spend the night in the hospital bc i had to work a shift tonight. I've been at work since ~6:30pm Sunday. I am ready to go home. Yeah, I think the S14 non-abs rotors are supposed to work with the S13. I dunno though. I did a J30 front swap.

[fiznowler]

Welcome back Fizzy.

LOL thanks man! It is good to be back!

[homeslicej2]

It is freaking cold and icy here. We scrapped all the snow and ice off of my wife's car today in case she has work tomorrow. It was about 6" of the stuff, which is a ton for here. Most of GA is lucky to see 1-2" of total snow in a year, let alone at once. Do any of you have your battery relocated from the engine bay? If so, what fuse, circuit breaker, disconnect, etc. do you use?

[fiznowler]

Razi,
You should post up some good pics of your car for me. I need inspiration to get to working on mine!

[WDRacing]

It's cold as hell out and I have to stab my motor/trans back in...

Any of you guys good with photochop or whatev? I need to see my van lowered 2 inches with various wheels. I'll post pics if anyone wants to habo.

[Razi]

Here's my JDM tyte ride y0!

:P

WD: I can do a little bit of photoshop, post some pictures!

[DubsSuck]

So, im in Tucson, and I love it!

[WDRacing]

As it dawns on me...I have zero images of that f***. That means I'll have to wash it first or find some suitable subs online.

You should rattle can that bumper homegirl. The color match paint at autozone or whatev works decent. Just put the can in hot water before you spray so the pressure is real high inside the can. Sprays much better coat that way.
