Nice inflation Performance Nissan

-
So I called around for the PVC Insulator I needed and Performance Nissan had the part that I needed, whats funny is this right here.

Whats the difference between the price on this invoice and the screenshot below? 
Almost twice as much for their online price although the MSRP doesn't match at ALL
This is one of the reasons why I'm pissed this part came up missing, secondly you mean to tell me if I made a fuss about their online price as opposed to calling in to pick it up I would've saved $5.62??? I mean I'm not a cheapass or anything and I'm grateful that they had the part I needed in stock so I didn't make a fuss about it but jesus man really 17 dollars after taxes for a rubber grommet? This is why it took me forever to put this damn cover back on my engine. Whats done is done!

All buttoned up. Need to top that brake fluid off. 
I hope that now that there is some firesleeve on that return hose to the block that they'll stop cooking through and spraying oil all over the back of the engine. Also the valve cover had some holes drilled straight through when I got it tapped for the coil packs and coil cover (it's an N/A s15 cover) So I made sure to fill that with RTV on the opposite end and let it sit a few days to cure. We'll see if I get an oil well in the engine bay again

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

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

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
