I have never had wheel hop issues. I run subframe collars and traction rods which I believe is what stops wheel hop. Softer sidewall equals less shock to the tread. Softer sidewall also equals more tread on the ground. Remember that as you lower tire pressure, the area of the tire that is touching t...

Drag radials are for the street. Bias drags are for the track. The IRS of the car causes large camber changes when the car squats. Radials have stiffer side walls which results in pulling part of the tread off the ground when camber changes. The effect is much less with a bias ply tire. If you are g...

There is a write up on freshalloy. All you have to do is change which resistors are soldered in on back of the speedo. Free mod. This is good if you want your speedo to read right... The ECU will still see the wrong speed. The speed signal wire is split and one goes to the ECU or TCU and the other ...

Cant help you with the mirror. As far as the speedo is concerned, we use THIS to correct for different transmissions, tires or differentials. I run one on my car with the Z trans and the C4 and Chris runs one on his car for his 3.3x diff. We just got done installing and callibrating one on a 97 with...

The NA Z32 auto trans and the stock 240sx auto trans are the same (1A trans) but with different bellhousings. You can swap the bellhousing and bolt it right in. The TT Z32 auto trans is a 3A trans and with a bellhousing swap will also bolt to your motor. You can either adapt the TT flex plate to fit...

Thanks guys. I am happy to finally get some press but was disappointed with the article. The pictures were taken last year and the story was written by somebody that I never even spoke with.

Although I do drive it often on the street, I dont beast on it that much. Its driven to and from work, to the track, out to the local hang outs. Its just dangerous to play around with this much power with other people on the roads. Gas milage is probably not much different from stock during cruising...

The main reason is because we are moving. Thursday we close on our new 20,000 sq/ft facility and we are trying to reduce what we are going to have to move. We are in no way going to stop supporting the KA-T / 240sx community. As always, we will continue to stock parts, build motors, procuce fuel sys...

so how much is your auto drivetrain loss. 25-30%? what exactly the number are you putting to the rwp Our dyno is a small roller AWD dyno so I end up spinning the tires in the low 700 whp range which gives me readings that are much lower than my actual RWHP. My car has trapped @ at 162 mph and weigh...

Tuning is the KEY. Bad tune will kill even the best built motor. Full stand alone > rom > piggy back > SAFC. but remember, your EMS is only as good as the person tuning it. Not overpowering your parts is the second thing. Stock ring lands are weak. After that, rods, after that, head gasket, after th...

Its very typical to see blue smoke on shifts. It all depends on how you have your PCV system setup. Because its not designed for boosted appliations, it just doesnt function as well as one that is. The oil seperator on the side of the lower front cover is not baffled very well and allows oil past th...

The Greddy kit is designed for a 97-98. Although I believe it can be made to work on a 95-96. Its a decent kit but to be better, it needs the timing harness for the emangage and an intercooler. If you have an S13, your kind of on your own for putting a complete kit together. We offer a complete hot ...

You can kill the best built motor with a poor tune. JWT is very conservative with the tune but you have to realize that at best, its an educated guess at a tune for a specific set of parts. Once outside that specific set of parts, your kind of on your own. Even with the specific parts that JWT recom...
