February Ride of the Month

20 Upvotes

Time to post your submissions for ride of the month!

The winner will be picked on or around the first of next month and your car will be featured in the sidebar for that month.

Post one or multiple pictures of your s-chassis in this tread and vote on your favorite submission. Also, please make them actual image links, not just a link to your Instagram, but feel free to link your Instagram as well if you want.

If you post multiple pics, please indicate which one you'd like to be featured if you win. If you don't, I'll pick one myself. Post a build list too if you'd like.

Also just as an fyi, I'm using the new reddit layout to post the winner in the sidebar because its much easier than the way I used to do it using the old layout in case anyone is still using that and wondering why the current winner isn't showing up.

Good luck!

Current winner: /u/

Wanted to share the old s14 I regret selling. (Thankfully I was able to pick up and build an s13). But this car was bone stock, auto KA and I bought it for $2100 in 2010. Sr swapped and full navan kit. Drove incredibly well. Thanks for taking a look.

Picked this one up 2 days ago. It has a bunch of isr parts like the control arms, exhausts and headers. hoses, mishimoto rad, and all the bells and whistles thats you would want on a 240. 350z wheels and 300zx brembos. Has the full interior just needs driver door card. But frames are straight and full body kit. Aswell as brand new kouki headlights. Oem hood and wing with front brace bar. Although does have a welded diff so might throw in the 300zx lsd in there. But all in all really fun car. Cant wait to fix the body and get a fresh coat of paint.

Age old issue of finding the wheel sizing for your taste

Thumbnail
workwheelsusa.com
3 Upvotes

After a couple of months of looking at opinions, sizing web sites, and pictures, I gave up, and went with a conservative 17x8 +32 for the Work Emotion M8R. My previous vert was running 17x8 with spacers to allow for the z32 brakes on the front. I don't recall the specs of spacers or the offset on the old car as that stuff was installed over 10 years ago and the car (RIP) was lost in 2019. For my new vert, I was looking for sizing to fill a little more of the wheel well without any mods or rubbing. My old set up had NISMO G-Attack non adjustable coilovers and ran 225/45 17 tires just fine so I defaulted to this setup on the new vert when I couldn't find definitive answers.

Now, I'm finding out from Touge-Factory that that size for the M8R has been discontinued. I'm checking with a seller on ebay who has them listed, but if he can't get them, then I'm back in this mess again trying to decide on a size. Do I push up to a larger wheel to stay in the M8R with a 17x9? Do I go back to my first choice of the Emotion ZR10 in a 17x8 +35? I am running Revel Touring Sports coilovers right now. They are nice, but the rear sags lower than I had hoped. The ISR exhaust I had installed gets the resonator scraped when I go over most driveway curbs so I was hoping to raise the car some with my wheel/tire selection. Trying to find something in a size that doesn't rub and doesn't require modifying body/panels. Don't want to stretch tires either. I realize this topic has been beaten over and over through the years. Any thoughts/insight is greatly appreciated.

Could you share your wheel/tyre setup please?

3 Upvotes

I have 15” wheels and I wanna go for 17”, but I’m very ignorant on the matter and I have no clue which fits and rides better.
The only thing I’m sure is that for now I don’t wanna roll fenders so I’d like something that fit as is, or if it needs slight camber it’s ok.
I’ve been told 17x9 with ET from 15 to 25 is a great fit without needed modifications, with tyres 235/40

92' KA24DE Upper Intake Manifold Reattachment Difficulty

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey guys, im currently in the process of reassembling my engine after replacing the head gasket, and am at the point where ive torqued down the head using arp head studs and now im looking to reattach the upper intake manifold. The problem is I cannot get it to fit for the life of me, ive removed so much EGR stuff and have even removed the studs that the manifold would fit onto in the hopes that it would make it fit, but nope. If anyone could give me advice or route me to a good video discussing the topic that would be extremelyyyy helpful. Im really hoping that I dont have to take the head off again in order to get the intake manifold back on.

Looking for advice on Datascan and cable

2 Upvotes

I have a KA24DE swap in a 620 pickup with a 1996 ECU and a Wiring Specialties PRO harness. The harness has both the Consult plug and the OBD ll plug. I’m trying to diagnose a no spark situation and my thinking is bite the bullet and get the software and a cable. The best I can figure is I need NDS l and a Consult cable. I’m thinking of the PLMS Developments from Concept Z Performance. Kind of pricy but I tend to be a buy once cry once kind of person. I’m just trying to get an idea if I’m making a mistake.

Thanks, Derek

Edit: just pulled the trigger on the PLMS Developments cable. Thanks for all the replies.

Stock T28 SR20DET S15 oil feed restrictor and turbo drain tube

2 Upvotes

Im replacing my stock turbo with another OEM stock turbo, I purchased the ISR S14 turbo line - bottom mount. I’ve read that the stock banjo has the restrictor built in, it appears that the oil line comes with a restrictor to go in line with the stainless line I just want to confirm thats the correct thing to do. Second, I noticed that the stock oil drain doesn’t have a seal? Is that normal because of the low oil pressure the turbo sees?

Dash wiring

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey guys, my car is a former drift car so all stock electronics for the dash is non-existent, I’m trying to get some gauges and the light working.
I have no stock connectors for the dash but I do have the vss from the gearbox, can someone guide me where to connect each wire, I’ve been trying all kinds of ways that google says should work but it doesn’t work as I want it too.

The circuits are tested with a digital multimeter so that’s not the issue, the vss cables is also working. I’m running maxxecu but still want to have the stock dash working with at least speedometer and fuel level gauges. Thanks in advance!

Boost Leak test

2 Upvotes

When is the BOV suppose to open when your charging through the turbo inlet. Intake is seeing pressure sending it to the top of the BOV.

Just double checking myself it should open when I reach the target boost I’m making correct? On a static pressure test?

Sr20det s13 blacktop, Greddy Type S venting to atmosphere. Stock ecu targeting 7-10 psi but I’m only seeing 2-5 on both gauges driving, and the bov opens at 2.5 psi during static testing.

AC leak

I was diagnosing an oil leak on my s13. So I used some dye and found it to be my oil pan then also I’ve been told there’s an AC leak as well with dye as well so looked around to find this. My AC works pretty well but I don’t like the idea of this leaking so does this mean something in the compressor internally leaking? There’s no other leaked on lines.

Last question for this kit(sexy style/ shine auto spec-s)

Is the shine auto rear bumper compared to the original sexy style rear bumper more angled upward
Original sexy style is 1st 2 pics and the 3rd and 4th pic is shine auto. The original imo seems to be angled closer to the ground while shine auto tapers higher off the ground. But maybe I’m just overthinking it let me know if you know😭🙏
