Yep, blow through for me because of being able to drive after blowing a coupler or something. 2 years or so with no issues.

I like the Z33 seats I have in my Vert, tight fit and I bought them from a guy who swapped S13 rails on to them.

Depends on what you are swapping.

S14, S15, R32 are direct fit. Can't remember about R33-34, seems one bolt may be off.

Otherwise going to be some custom brackets, etc.

Having more govt control, may not be a bad idea, if the govt didn't suck. So I'd like to keep them away.

You'll still be paying for it for all the strippers, instead of just one.

Well, we'll be paying you, so you're kind of stuck in the middle.

Plain and simple, don't like the govt taxing me based on my actions, not my income but my actions.

Do also wonder if this is the greatest thing ever, why all of the govt (Pres, house, senate, etc) are exempt from it.

If you have 2 motors. Use one as stock internals for the T25. Build the other in the meantime and find parts for higher boost setup.

Usually is just a slight weird idle for a second after coming down from higher RPMs.

Otherwise no issue with using AT ECU on MT ECU (as long as engine is the same). Does remove speed limiter as well.

Have seen a lot that run pretty hot.

My KA runs cool overall and my oil temp usually stays very close to the water temp. Hotest I've seen the oil temp was around 200 or so probably.

For S13 Coupe with KA-T
Around $33.

5 qts of Mobil 1 $24
Nissan filter $9

Do get a qt of oil left over, so every 4 changes you have enogh left over for next one.


My S13 Vert with NA KA is cheaper for Mobil dino oil.
And G35 uses the full 5 qts of Mobil 1.

Easy answer is they are the same. Possible to use block/head for any S-chassis '91-'98.

S13/S14 cams are different, but otherwise its mostly the intake mani/wiring/etc that's different.

Since it is a DD, I would assume your only car. Then I'd buy another engine. Either low mileage to drop in and boost or another one to build while your car is still running.

VSS is Vehicle Speed Sensor, yes the part you swapped. Should be a way to jump/override that part I would think.

No skyline ever have it? If it did probably easier to get those parts.

If not, hardest thing is probably the throttle plate to get the 2nd wire on it.

Yeah collector means you won't drive it but so many miles a year. And I don't drive my Vert that much at all anyway.

Bought it in '06 with 101k on it. Think I'm up to 116k miles now.

If enough keep getting wrecked, then collector car may be a better option.

I know some that have done it on the S13 Vert, I need to look into it to lower my insurance.

Didn't see it mentioned here. But Nissan has them. They are on the Z31 turbos.

I'm using them.
