Screw it, I'm going to bed. I may check this in the morning, if not then tomorrow evening. Take it easy for now.

So I haven't really had a lot of time over the past couple of days to work on my s13. WC, I had my battery unhooked and pulled it away so it wouldn't touch anything. I'm hoping its just one of the fuses at the relay points. Now, I was told there was two. One in the engine bay, which I know of its position; and one inside the car by the clutch, which I couldn't find any listing for on the back of the fuse cover panel. If there is one by the clutch, could someone give me a diagram, or tell me which one it is?

BTW, I'm not going to work on anything tonight due to the rain. But tomorrow if I'm not busy I'll be all over it. I'm going to start setting some random short-term goals to complete at different times through the build. This may keep me on track more.

My goal for this coming week is to get my car drivable by my birthday.(Sat, the 29th)

And anyone willing to send presents is more than welcome to. :P

Hmm dont really know watcha meant by i kid. But i was just saying im not a newb who thinks he knows everything. And im on this site for the sole purpose(right now of course till i know things) of meeting new people and makin friends, and learnin about my passion. ALways had it in me, just never had the resources til now. So ill just sit back and listen to all the people who know their stuff, and take it in. So i just wanna thank you and all the others who so gracefully teach us newbs and put together this great site,mods and members....thanx for takin your time. Because theres some people out there who could give a rats behind about the newcomer.

thanx!

Not getting an engine because everyone has one is just as bad as getting an engine because everyone has one. Get the engine that best suits your needs, and one you can maintain. These days everyone has RBs, CAs, and KA-Ts anyways so it shouldn't matter. These are mass-produced cars and engines...you will not be unique. The SR is a very nice engine, it would be dumb to rule it out because you think everyone has one.

turboing an na rotary is 3 times as much of a pain as turbo in na piston motor

true the sr is very easy to get parts for, with teh ca and the rb u might have more of a problem but if the car is a daily driver (like mine) and cant afford lots of down time to wait for parts to come in, sr or ka is teh way to go
