When I bought my car, the airbag light was flashing. When I had it inspected, my mechanic said he basically didn't know if it would actually deploy or not, it was going to cost an arm and a leg to replace them, and I've heard that the effectiveness of mid 90's airbag technology is questionable to be...

Possibility that it could be a fake and leaking? there's a sickening amount of fake ssqv's out there
I decided to take a look at my greddy bov for **** and giggles, turns out it's 100% fake =(

It's either got to be valve seals or turbo. I went ahead and began pulling the turbo as their is a good chance I'm going with a different one anyways. So far, so good, I've checked for oil residue in the exhaust ports and in the manifold before the turbo, I figure if oil is leaking and burning off t...

My roommate and I were with a couple buddies who had an SRT4 in a car show, and when it ended we found out the guys with the SRT4 had never been properly hooning in rwd car, so why not go tear up a parking lot? We head to a [usually] abandoned parking lot, some garden supply store. It has two large ...

since his question was answered ima thread jack. n60 and n62 are wired the same right? so i can just drop in and make changes in nistune and go so to speak Yeah and it saved my ass when I blew the electronics of the Z32 maf out along the highway, threw in an N60 laying around switched with nistune ...

Definitely does not smell like burning coolant, so assume it has to be oil. I've kind of been leaning towards bad turbo/seals though, i find more similarities in other people's experiences with blown turbos, and almost every account I've read about valve guides involves smoking on cold start ups and...

I'm probably going to attempt to do this myself. It doesn't really look to bad with an air compressor to keep the valves up, and the tool to compress the spring. But, there are 16 of these, right? Surely not all 16 could have gone bad at the same time, would 1 or 2 of these going bad really cause th...

I think I'm just afraid of that, it looks like a lot of work and tools I don't own yet

Actually I did a comp test just a few weeks ago, numbers were 175 170 170 175. I feel like those number support a problem other than the head gasket or rings Here is a video I took in March (I've had this problem for almost 3 years now) that shows the sudden onset of smoke, it looks "blue-er&qu...

Update It's either got to be valve seals or turbo. I went ahead and began pulling the turbo as their is a good chance I'm going with a different one anyways.

Been running blow through for 3 years now, never had an issue, has actually saved my ass being able to limp the car home after blowing a coupler.

I've had this problem with every single pilot bushing I've ever installed. I had to sand down the inside of the bearing a tiny bit. Make sure that alignment tool fits before you do the actual transmission. Nothing is worse than being underneath 150lb tranny while you try to force the shaft into the ...

I have dual altima fans with A/C. I'd be more concerned about fitment with A/C rather than how well A/C works, it takes a little more trimming. But no issues with the actual A/C Just wire them to be always on, or get a temp probe (I'd recommend an override switch with a temp probe, I've seen a coupl...

I believed I've figured out the issues and posting in hopes this can help someone else. 1st, the slave cylinder went bad, dissection showed that the bore of the valve/piston was basically bad , allowing air and fluid past the seals very slowly. I assume this was the shifting issue. 2nd, When I took ...

what color of RTV did you use? Did you use the grey stuff?

High temp red, grey might work better though, red is what I had lying around at the time. I have pressure tested up to 20-25 psi, but car normally only sees 7-10 psi

IIRC code 55 is knock sensor which would put the ecu in the knock map and would run extra fuel Did you replace the o-rings on the injectors when you last took them out? If not I'd put some money on a leaky o-ring. Remove your rail injectors and all, place a paper towel underneath it and turn the key...

I used rtv rather than a gasket and have had no issues with leaking

i think the part number is 4644

I have my outlet facing upwards as well, it's extremely close but I have heat wrap and a heat shield, absolutely no problems. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr354/Freise/IMG_0893.jpg And I have an S14 but all the parts I am running were made for and came from an S13, the hotpipe meets the FMIC p...

If unplugging the MAF makes it run better its worth it to check the maf and double check the maf wiring, sounds almost word for word like a problem I had that turned out to be bad ground on the maf

I went through everything again and still can't find for sure what the issue is. One thing I noticed is that the clutch plate on the backside, the part that mates with the pressure plate looks abnormally worn. Is it possible that the clutch was slipping and rubbing against the pressure plate? I'm no...

look at the backside of the flywheel and the flywheel side of the plate between the block and flywheel and see if you see a place its rubbing. Also check to see how much thrust (fore and aft) the crankshaft has . Reason I ask this is mine started that after I put the white bunny clutch in but it co...

What should I be looking for in a failing TOB? Like I said, it's out now, spins freely and doesnt appear to be scorched at all or anything, so I'm not sure how it could be broken, not that I'm disagreeing, just asking what to look for.

The car came stock 5 spd and even so, I no longer believe the pilot bearing has anything to do with the issue after reading more about what it's suppose to do anyways.

Recap on the original issue: When clutch pedal was pushed all the way down, a grinding noise appeared from transmission. The noise would disappear if the pedal was raised slightly, or eventually disappeared on its own when the car heated up. Update: I continued driving the car until a new issue aros...

I'd sell it too. In my opinion, the amount of fun you'd have destroying a fresh clutch in your car > the fun you'd have staring at a bottle of 1974 scotch

I had a similar problem, unplugged the fuel pump fuse and the car would remain running for way longer then it should. Turned out to be a combination of FPR going bad and mass airflow sensor wiring shorting out. Recently when I blew apart my mass airflow sensor I couldn't even get the thing to idle r...

I went with innovative blue digital wideband and autometer cobalt, fairly reliable setup and they match pretty well.

Stock Flywheel, resurfaced during clutch swap ACT Xtreme pp w fullface organic clutch I haven't considered the spring issue, but that's most definitely a possibility. The first pilot bushing came from a place online, the second came from autozone, the third came from advanced, and the one in there n...

Last winter I had sort of a grinding noise appear whenever the clutch was depressed. It was not consistent, and always disappeared once the motor warmed up. In addition to the grinding noise you can feel the vibration of some sort of grinding through the shifter. The noise ONLY occurs when the clutc...
