So I sold my stance oil block to Mike @ Clearcorners.com today, swung by his shop to drop it off and hang out for a bit. Mike is a really cool dude who is very passionate about what he does. We swung by his house to check out his 180sx restoration project which is looking pretty awesome if I may say so.

We also went to a hot dog stand up the street and he bought me lunch, that was rad. I also met his smog guy which has this insane 600 hp integra, with azenis tires haha.

Brave man....

Anyway Mike asked to check under the hood and I pop it and I have motor oil all over the bottom of my cowl, wtf. I see oil pooled around the number 3 injector, but I don't think it's coming from there, the valve cover has all new seals. So I peak around a bit more, and the oil drain back line to the block is broken which means everytime I have been boosting, I've been spraying oil all over my fucking engine's hot side.

Gay.

Time to buy a new hose.

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
