This is more a less a follow up from my wreck post, just some things I discovered today I thought I'd share with you all :D

First off, replaced my driver's side strut and got the wheel back on, however since the new strut is tighter it now pulls to the right :( so looks like new passenger side strut and alignment job.

I'm on my way to work and I see a dark grey 91 240 and I'm like "that looks pretty good" and the closer I look I notice something different. He has a Silvia tail light conversion!!:shocked So I honk at the guy and try to talk to him through traffic which is not easy. He said he got it from some nismo parts online thing and I explained my accident to him and all. Rather nice guy. But I deffinately want the tail light conversaion, it was soooooo beautiful.

Anyway back to the car. So once we discover there is a water leak we strip out the intake, fan shroud, and radiator*which is bent alittle*. Come to find out the top right screw hold nipple thing is busted and cracked, so when the water is under pressure it was squirting out. Hopefully tomorrow I can repair this as a temp fix until I find a used radiator or just find one used.

However I noticed something rather odd when I took out the fan shroud. Now I don't know if this is specific to just the 91-94 s13, but the hose that leads from the bottom of the air intake duct is nothing more then another damn resonator box :rolleyes

I dunno if everyone already knew this or not, I always thought it was just another hose for the vaccum system or for a sensor, I never figured it'd be another resonator box. Oh well, hopefully I'll be rolling again by the weekend.
