If you want help, you will need to describe your problems better
What were you trying to do?
Did you take it apart yourself?
Have your looked at the shop manual?


and people respond better to pictures.

Yeah it is difficult... but I still don't understand what you man.
Try hard to get pictures or figure out how do describe your problem more clearly if you want people to help.

Otherwise maybe someone else has a better idea

As for your radiator. I'm assuming you still have the brackets for them. Radiators meant for an S14 will fit in the S13 (and vice versa), but the upper mounts will bolt into the wrong spots. I have an S14 rad in my S13, but I had to drill into the core support so I could bolt the brackets down.

As for your diff issues, it sounds to me like you have the wrong bolts in there. I would pull the bolts back out, make sure they're the correct bolts, and if they are, check the threads of the bolt hole to make sure they haven't been stripped out. Because if they are, you'll need to fix that as well.

And lastly, this one is for my peace of mind. Are you using a speech to text program? It certainly seems like you are, but if you're not, typing a bit more concisely and clearly will help you out immensely with getting information from the community. It's very difficult for us to help if we can't understand what you want.

More information is always helpful as well. We have no clue what generation S-chassis you're installing all this in, as there are subtle differences between the two generations.

Lol, i agree on the speech 2 text.

To OP, make sure you have your rubber grommets on your radiator mounting posts :)
