Superbowl Sunday??? Who fucking cares...

Because the Miami Dolphins aren't playing this year. Who's with me on that one???








nobody........................






piss off then...



My pops has been asking me to move my car so he can use his garage again, I didn't want to stuff that KA24DE into my s13 until I properly tore it down, cleaned it up and re-installed it.

From the looks of things I think I am just going to go ahead with a full engine rebuild while i'm at it. I see no reason not to at this point in the game. And while I'm at it I guess I can plan out the flywheel and clutch arangements as well since.... But first lets get to work.



Yeah I have a lot of work to do, and of course the empty side of the garage is now packed with junk from everyone else whoring out my parents garage...

MINE!!! ALL MINE!!!

So yeah.


As you can see, this car has been forgotten. I felt bad because the black widow that set up shop on my s13 died from starvation... The economy is now affecting spiders, what is the world coming to?

Anyway I got this thing off of it's jack stands and then proceeded to push it out in the street, turned it around and pushed it right back up the driveway. It's ridiculous how blown the suspension is on this car lol. It's seriously as boyant as a hotdog in boiling water.



Well started breaking down my S14's KA24DE



I knew there was an aftermarket clutch in the car, but I had no idea it was a six puck... This shit was mad toast anyway, would always slip. It was pretty obvious it was just a replacement disc used with the oem pressure plate. The pedal was always soft in the S14, I am thinking clutch masters stage 3 and one of those two piece flywheels.



I didn't take any pictures of me removing the intake side. But in case you forgot, this is what a ka24de looks like with that missing, and the cause of my spark well leak... which I documented in a previous entry. (Tripple P! Power Plant Plans!!!)



Initially I was just going to clean the motor off and throw it back in after replacing these gaskets... But I know a larger problem is at hand concerning the headgasket...
(Getting the car ready for a painless engine removal. ) LOL And this isn't all I shoved in there...



and finally we have the deaded 240sx shelf shot!



Next weekend I will work on getting the engine back in the s14, finishing the fusebox project and testing it out, and then see if I have time to drill out the core support and remove the windows!

Wiring an S13 SR20DET up for an S14 (95-98)

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...

Almost there!

Just gonna do a random photodump and just chat about some things. Embedding some you tube shorts as well. I previously mentioned how I was going to upgrade to hid's and led corner lights and turn signals. But I also wanted to black everything out, light output at night shouldn't be affected. May be a bit harder to see things during the day but I'm not too worried about it. The oem stuff was already pretty hard to see during the day anyway as shown in the example below.  So here is the final result of the headlight and corner light tint, I still have my old oem signal markers in. I was waiting to pick up my led ones from paint as there just was no way I was going to be able to wrap them. Going to try and retain the ability to plug in oem stuff rather than discarding the wiring for strictly led items in case I need to replace anything with off the shelf parts.  This is the oem connector for the corner lights, I have my chassis harness sleeved and loomed in the engine bay and ...

RX330 Projectors, Dancing Led Signals, and Blackout Tint

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...
