I told you I was getting all of those windows out... one way or another.

before



after



sanded up all of the pillars to find the yellow brick road.



then the main event, the rear window...




this seemed like a really solid and good idea, about 10 pulls in each direction, cord died. The silicon back here is fucking mad thick, so much so I took a godamned fancy ass steak knife to it to see if it would make quick work of the silicone, and it caused me to yank the handle clean off of the knife (not pictured.)

So I thought about it, and said nah probably not a good idea. The said to myself, I've always wanted to do this, lets see what happens.

So I took my mini sledge, and tapped the upper left hand corner of the window, seriously I mean tapped it and well...



The fucking window exploded, like a loud ass BOOM and the passenger upper corner just flew all over my garage, FUCKING BAD ASS!!! It sounded like a bowl of rice crispies for 30 minutes.

snap crackle pop, snap crackle pop.

I've never broken a window before, much less an automotive one so I didn't know what to expect. So I just took the longest object I had, put on safety goggles and tapped away.




seriously, that was so much fucking awesome.

sorry I'm easily amused.

packed the garage up for the night.

tomorrow I sand, and well.... vacuum.

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

S14 Digital Climate Control 2022 Redux

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.  O

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
