Hey, I'm new the board, i've got a 93' 240sx black with s13 projector headlights, tokico KYG struts, coilovers, front/back struts bars, and more, just waiting to get so heat here to install everywhere at once, i know i got a beast of weight on the car so i decide to drop the ka for a rb25det, with 720cc injectors t3/t04 garrett turbo. I've looked at the rear fenders 50mm do they have to be molded to the car? So far i like what i see here....One

Welcome i like the Rb in the S chassis makes it feel solid check out the RB section.

ok, quick question i've search and searched but i want to know how to change the differential, not the whole pumpkin but just the differential, I have a s13.

[AZhitman]

Unless you have access to special tools and have disassembled / reassembled a rear diff before, it's best to swap the whole pumpkin.

Setting pinion depth is damn near impossible for an amateur and results in a ruined diff if not done right.

Why do you need to swap it?

[tigwebu]

i have an open, and i what max power to the wheel...both wheels. am i seriously long legged or is there no room in the back seats.

[AZhitman]

Back seats in an S13 are useless and are only there for insurance purposes.

Diff won't give you more power.. If you're still stock (not boosted), a VLSD isn't gonna do you a bit of good. Stock KA simply doesn't have enough power.

[tigwebu]

naw i know that extra power, but its even amount of power to the ground i'm going with a rb25det, space in the complete swap out

IF your short like me &the person in back is short they fit.Replacing the diff is the way to go!VLSD the way to go for the street like the hitman said!

alright well I guess they have to go(back seats) More room for the speakers. VLSD whole pumpkin, got yah. Thanks for the info, I got a feelin i'm gonna get shot with hate but i'm ask anyway. Struts/springs on the covert how do i get to them to replace them, I know on bmw 325i you go over the top and bolt but i can't see the top, do i need to break out the grinder, remove the top,etc? i tried the search and failed. Be gentle newb learnin

[daz1320]

Take out the back seat then you can get to it.

APC seats are in, after donating blood to the Automotive Gods, and some heavy words i got the seats out, but the sliders on the apc are universal, can i use the sliders from my old seats? Or theres something i'm missing. Daz1320. appreciate your info. I'll post the pic once the i get the new carpet in & finish the fiberglass box i'm puttin in replace of the rear seats. vert community thanks for the info, once again, i dont know a lick about interior , but i know an engine a$$ in to a$$ backwards.

I guess the sliders are universal.My freinds Scion is sponsored by APC.We had to put those seats in his car,but to do it we had to do some fab work.

[tigwebu]

you got any pics of the custom seat slider, i've think of getting steel L bars on the back and redrilling the front.

My friend had a set of APC seats in his S13 coupe. I will talk to him tonight and ask him how he got his to fit, since it's the same in the verts.
