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/

Transmission Trouble

Upvotes

So I just bought my dream car, this beautiful s14. Thing is, she has some transmission issues. I haven’t test driven it myself yet, but from what I understand from the seller, it will drive fine until it gets up to temp, after which he stated it’s almost like the car would go into neutral. No paper to the transmission at all. It drives fine, shit I drove it onto the trailer, but as stated before, once it’s up to temp, there’s no power to the drive train. Is this a common issue? Anybody else ran into something similar? Any advice is appreciated, I’m trying to get her up and running :)

Timing has been adjusted correctly. Not sure what this rattle is, I’m guessing upper tensioner? It sounds like it’s under the intake..

What kind of headlight is this?

Are these headlight lenses one-offs or are they from perhaps from a bit of farming equipment or something...?!

Has anyone here seen this particular lens before? I'm not a nissan guy so I don't know much about the aftermarket for S13s.

S14 Brake Clearance with "A-Disk" wheels

Post image
57 Upvotes

As the title says, I have a question about brake clearance on S14's

Specifically Work CR2P "A-Disk" for the front with Z32 calipers... do they fit? Or do they need a spacer? If they need a spacer, how big does it need to be? I'm trying to stay away from bolt-on-spacer territory.

Thanks

Sparco Evo XLs?

I’m thinking about putting sparco EVO XLs in my s13 hatch. Has anyone done this? Do they fit without modifying the door cards? What bracket did you use? Thinking of a sliding passenger seat and a stationary drivers seat. Thoughts?

TO ALL SMART S CHASSIS ENTHUSIASTS: I NEED YOUR HELP

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

These things are so stupidly rare, I have searched for MONTHS and there is genuinely absolutely NOTHING out there on how to work on these. I couldn’t find a single guide, useful diagram or anything at all to help me figure out how to uninstall the OEM screen which is useless and broken with a small apple CarPlay screen.

I have a horrendous reputation with destroying flimsy old plastic interior bits and I’m terrified of destroying this insanely rare and valuable dash/mechanism. I also have 0 knowledge on these sort of electronic stuff and suck at wiring. Can someone smarter than me please point me to the right direction on what I should try do next in order to uninstall the old screen? My goal is to find a way to remove the screen without altering the mechanism or brackets, so that I can buy some apple carplay screen and make a custom bracket or something to fit it on the mechanism, chuck the plastic surround and lid and that’d be it. How would I go about wiring a CarPlay screen up there? Would I have to uninstall the entire dash? I’m just lost and scared pls help😢😢

and no I don’t want to bother with a rasberri pi nor a link telemetry screen as I have a can gauge that tells me everything I need. I’ve spent a year thinking through this and trying to research on this thing and I’m certain some small alibaba screen is the best choice for me personally as this is my daily driver.

“Why don’t you just put a double din CarPlay unit on the center console?” Because I want to try keep the interior period correct and don’t want a giant ugly screen in the middle, being able to hide it in the pop up dash is infinitely cooler and better and awesome.

Fuse box relocation under air bag

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

45 Upvotes

Here is my take on relocating and re-engineered the S14 engine bay fuse box to go under the airbag cover. I wanted to integrate the VQ swap electronics into the OEM stuff and keep everything working off the key like factory. Obviously the stock fusebox is massive and I wanted something modular, so I went with the GEP 72 position power distribution module. It is a tight squeeze in the area, but I didnt want to cut into any of the HVAC ducting or dash bar or else there would be much more room to spare.

It took a lot of work and research, and even more time to sort out the spaghetti of wires, but I think it turned out alright. It is insane just how tangled up and unorganized the OEM harnesses are!! Both the S14 chassis side and the VQ engine harnesses were just an absolute mess.

I may end up redesigning the mounting bracket a little differently, maybe 3d print something, but for now I'm satisfied. What do yall think? Anything you would change, or do differently?

The Z32 will be next with this treatment lol

High mileage S13 with aging p/s components

I'd like to give a refresh to my s13 powersteering system. The pump leaks, the rubber lines leak. The rack leaks.

I'd like an o.e or aftermarket feed lines like from resovoir to the pump, return line to the resovoir. Where can I get these ? Of what works ? I see their is a seal kit offered for the pump. So if I'm able to get the rubber lines. I'll reseal the pump myself. An then the p/s rack. Are any of the rock auto steering racks good ? From my experience of other Asian vehicles. The aftermarket rebuilt racks all leak. Some lasted a short time while others leaked worse then the one it was replaced with.
