Carbon Fiber Gurney Flap for Kouki Wing

-

Been a while, still waiting on some odds and ends and mainly motivation to start working on the car again. I'm in no rush to get it back together and with the holidays coming up I'm not trying to get in too deep with spending any cash and stretching myself thin into the new year. 

Ordered a Greddy Diff cover, and a bunch of odds and ends since it's time to finally service my diff, it's been almost a month and nothing has been heard regarding my order. I'm bout one more cancellation away from just giving up on owning one. 

Here are some bigger and hopefully detailed pictures of the Gurney Flap I got from some aero shop down in the Dominican Republic, took about 2 months for them to make, it's made off of a mold. I mean structurally it looks pretty good but there will be a lot of massaging on my part for it to fit the way I want it to fit. 

Still not sure what my mounting solution is going to be for it, wish it kind of had some recessed mounting holes on the bottom. may have to nutcert the wing, I'm not going to strictly rely on double sided tape or rivets. 




I tend to have a problem with getting into one project and starting another, I remember I tried putting digital climate control in the car while I was in the middle of re-doing the entire chassis harness. That was stupid, it only took 10 years for me to re-do it pin to pin and document the whole process since forums are a thing of the past. Even if information is there most of the time it's expired. 

superawesomeracing splitter supports showed up as well. Just been too exhausted to try and meddle, was considering making an airdam for the splitter where it meets the bumper, I hate the little gap, but maybe I just need to nut up and finally shave my bumper down. May possibly end up buying two more of the splitter supports to go just slightly in front of the racebred brackets but still behind the bumper. 

You know, aesthetics. 


Been thinking a lot about starting to go back to the gym as well, don't think I'm going to be all gung ho, social media hoe about it. Comes in waves, just dislike the culture and the environment, but also don't like being 260. We'll see, I always get motivated and life and how I deal with it have it's own plans. 

But other than that hopefully we're good to go soon.

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

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
