I did my crossfit thing and then headed out to Irwindale to hang out with Jeff at his shop to see what new developments have transpired on his FD. The car is in pieces waiting for the fabricator to finish it up, looks pretty cool at the moment however.
Jeff has tires all mounted up on Lee's wheels from BRS Designs, they want to help get Jeff on the track and represent.
The work wheels on the right will be performing the track duty with the new Hankook Ventus TD
If you would like more info about the Ventus TD's you can check it out here.
My charge speed rear overs came in, shit gets here pretty fast from japan, only took a week. Everyone makes it seem like these take forever to get in your hands. I will also be ordering up a set of fronts pretty soon to replace my vertex fenders. I need something a bit wider up front with great craftsmanship and chargespeed is butter. Worth every dollar spent!!!
Going to have to have the antenna hole filled on the driver side. Didn't even realize they would provide a hole for that. Comes with a fiberglass gas cap as well, wonder if its' one of those jams you just stick onto your gas cap? I was going to do the same thing silbeer did with his gas door.
This stuff smells like coconut suntan oil I swear it!
I told Jeff I needed to lube up my pin slides on the aerocatch pins on my hood and if he had any spray lube at the shop. Then he hands me this, needless to say I also sprayed some in my door hinges to get rid of that awful haunted house noise the car makes when opening and closing them. So embarrassing for such a cool car!
Andrew from Honeymoon garage showed up to play with Jeff.
This is where I had to say my goodbyes for the day after talking about crossfit, throwing the football around, talking about chicks, and eating a nice meal at savoy's! All in a day, came home to this awesome package after a 30 minute nap and shower.
Nissan charges 25 bucks for that part, it's discontinued, and almost NOBODY has them in stock because nobody orders them. Every part that nobody carries or was hard to find I was able to get from http://courtesyparts.com/ It's a nissan parts dealership in TX. The only thing that sucks is the 8 dollars worth of shipping, but I guess if you add up CA tax along with a drive out to WestCo Nissan it even's itself out. Needless to say, no more coffee spillage in my car, so stoked about this.
People mindlessly throw this part away... because racecar, needless to say you can turn some good coin around due to it's rarity and people like myself who don't want ugly ass jdm cupholders in their defrost vents.
Till next time, still waiting for my spl stuff to show up.
If you've come here then you have decided to undertake the task of wiring up an s13sr20det motor for use in a 1995-1998 240sx. This isn't the end all guide or going to go over problem free for you if it's your first time wiring up an engine. But it will get you set on the right path. - Wayne Tips before you get started on buying stuff. make sure you only use adhesive heat shrink. Just so happens a strand of h/s I bought wasn't adhesive and the solder ended up corroding causing shorts/issues. I had to cut open the whole harness and replace all of the heat shrink to be sure. Extra runs of wiring aren't really necessary to do this, you can use wires from your ka24de harness that are already color matched and the same gauge. The s13sr20det harness can have about 3-4 inches removed from it behind the firewall (in car) but don't make any cuts until you know everything works, then shorten as desired. If you break a plug/connector (use your brain a...
Introduction Hello, So you wanna install one of these. I'll try to be the voice of reason in 2022 and tell you it's probably not even worth it. 10-15 years ago, heck yeah go for it. But if you're insistent like myself, I'll give you all of the tools needed to get the job done. It's been a while since I've installed this. 12 years in fact. I've contemplated making youtube videos but to be honest I am ungodly lazy. This blog post at this point is more of a diary for me as well as a how-to because if I ever have to troubleshoot this crap again I know that I've unnecessarily over-documented this install for the final time. I will say that, I originally followed the write up here: chuonthis s14 dcc write-up I don't want to plagiarize and flat out copy the write up, but I'm going to stage the information very similarly. I have it available in PDF format and have uploaded it here in case their website ever goes down. I recommend saving that....
This is going to be a three part blog of some sort. I had been traveling to the 240 tuesday meets which are about 60 miles away from me and I head home to a lot of freeway and road construction so I can't see a damn thing. Normally I've never had any issues with my halogen projectors on the kouki headlights. But I've always been curious about doing an HID swap. After seeing Hugo's s14 with dancing leds on his Zenki I was curious about getting some done for my car. I've always wanted some kind of led lights, but clearcorners.com lights were just never in my budget even though Mike Mamos is an acquaintance. I don't ask for discounts at friends businesses, I spend money elsewhere like a true piece of shit. HAHA Hugo's S14 I really like the look of the blacked out headlights mainly because the led corners and turn signals are built in a manner where there is like a piece of tape that's put over the area where the oem light would sit and holes are poked in i...
