Ebay plug wires I spot. Let me know how those work out in about 3 months. I've had about 10 friends have them fail in short order.

Get electrical gauges, More accurate and much less of a pain in the ass. I like only wires going through my firewall.
and who's that girl thats leaning over you in that pic on zilvia!? When I come down there me and my old lady want to meet her and take her to the nearest hotel. Dayum!

Looks great David, Does the dash reflect alot of sun.... looks like it could be hazardous. Wire brush wheel would probably fix the problem.

if anyone doesnt remember the previous owner stripped the steering colum thread for the wheel, i had impacted a jeep lugnut on there to hold my hub in efforts to keep the wheel hub on and continue to drift

DO NOT BUY CHEAP HUBS!!! lmao!

the gears, on the hub stripped?!?!?! mid drift....

luckly... the guy with the whiplash drift truck happened to have a gas welder and there was a power source nearby for it.... never gas welded before
just to get 4.5 hours home home we did this

went to the yard and got a new colum shaft... very simple to remove

Gas welders are way better than flux core! just to throw that in.... Nice temporary fix, though but you forgot the duck tape and zip ties FTMFW. How did the event go other than that miss hap?

my terminal in my bay that goes to my rear battery mount grounded and exploded. i replaced that, my hard wired fuel pump line stopped working? replaced that. (brought a spool of wire lol) and i overheated, im pretty sure i overheated due to a kink in my heat core bypass line

prob for a super good price too as always haha

the koyohad a pinhole leak i jb welded.. if that doesnt qwork ill get it aluminum welded back.. but the pinhole is uber small... i got that for 40 dollars off my friend who ended up geting a mishumoto

the resivor was free off a s13 i watched wreck into the woods and he totaled his car and i got it off the scene

and the hose was like 15 -20% my discount at autozone

hey ka guys!..... does anyone want the part number for that hose??!!? it worked great after cutting it some.. i spent all day looking for it at the zone. to use for sr rads since its on the other side.. prob only would work for e fans maybe... i think it could hit a clutch fan.. ill get the number tomorrow

does a stock sr T stat work in a kae? would it help?

lmao u think id spend that kind of money on a grill vent piece i tapped my rear into drifting? hell no! you should have seen how close i was to this wall i tapped it! it was actually part of a sign on it, pretty radical

its galvanized steel i beleive, but thin shit. it collects dust and u can draw smiley faces on it also

nismologistAug 5, 2009, 8:37 am · #832

without the hatch from the side, it resembles a ae86 coupe.

David BAug 5, 2009, 10:27 am · #833

but i forgot! the code of the s12..... NOTHING BOLTS IN!

cylinder one, or whichever exaust port closest to the steering colum that goes to the rack, hits the colum at the joint like if i turn the wheel i can get it to fit in but i need to cut and reweld the manifold so it sits about 1/4 inch away from the rack, its so close of a fit, but not a serious problem, just got to cut the pipe section off, and pivot it, and find a small piece that i can reroute it too, trying to keep in mind i dont want to change the design of them

have to find someone that can weld better then me, or, just man up and do it my self, which ill probally end up doing

part of the downpipe actually rests on the floor of the car, i either A extend the downpipe, or B hammer it in some, which ill probally just grab my hammer

200sxkitcarAug 6, 2009, 8:04 am · #834

hammer that bitch! haha

looks good as always.

the header thing is a know issue with the ka in these cars. can't beat the price tho.

maybe next year if you are still rocking this thing I build you a new simplified harness.

if you do one for a sr id pay you

David BAug 6, 2009, 6:57 pm · #836

i heated the tube and hammered it in a slight tad, it doesnt touch but i know it will rub because my engine shakes alot, so im going to cake some poly urathane around them tonight, and also add a brace on the other side to keep it from moving over

Hockey pucks. No brace. Good as gold

David BAug 6, 2009, 9:24 pm · #838

if i use pucks it will be worse and the headers will sit on the rack, but can i make a brace? is that bad to brace it on once side. from block to chassis

Braces are useless. The shocks they have on ebay are gimmicks, and if you decide to do a solid one, All you end up doing is bending the shit out of the shock tower, strut bolts, or whatever you attach it to. Watched it too many times. Your best bet is mounts, and trust me. Hockey pucks will make drifting much easier.

Or use chain to prevent the block from torquing over. Those give way and prevent body damage. That's a tried and true method used many a time on hot rods and big ol v8's

Make a trans mount to. Poly will work fine for that.

Here's another idea for you. Get some mapp gas, and heat up the top elbows on the header. Closest bends to the manifold. and use a tube (NOT A HAMMER) to bend them down slightly, that will tuck the headers closer to you block, and out of the way of the column. Take the headers out to do this. Or heat them up, and push on them with a jack or something to bend them, but that may bend or pull the studs out of the head.

Then do pucks

IggyEGuanaAug 7, 2009, 4:06 am · #840

looks great david. How much the hatch weigh?

cut and reweld headers. bending and hammering will only decrease flow.

oh and that pic of the whole header... that should be ur entire exhaust system. Hell Yeah!

the hatch weighs enough... takes 2 people to remove...

made a exuast flange... im excited

200sxkitcarAug 16, 2009, 8:22 pm · #842

SR harness is separate from chassis harness and would be easy to do.

Hatch is a shade under 80lbs, its in someones sig line.

Pucks will drop the motor down and probably cause more interference. I like the poly idea...

David BAug 17, 2009, 7:45 am · #843

200sxkitcar. I like the poly idea...

ive gotten like 3 different tubes and none of them came out hard... anyone recomend something that will get stiff??

JayAug 17, 2009, 8:04 am · #844

David Bive gotten like 3 different tubes and none of them came out hard... anyone recomend something that will get stiff??

Then you got the wrong tubes I'm guessing.

Part number is 08609. I've found that in my town, buying the tube at advance auto parts was a different part number, and not the "Super fast urethane" that you need in order for it to cure in less than a month. I always have to get it at the zone

Another option, is from home depot. It's called "PL Roofing Polyurethane"

Either one works. But also, It took a 13 hours of baking in a toaster oven at 150 to cure to the core for me, It will take a full 24 to cure at outside temp.

Here's a pic of doing mine. Tore em in half, Cleaned out the oil or whatever, Filled the insides, and pretty much made the whole thing a solid chunk of polyurethane. It turned out quite good. Those two stains on the driveway are still there. That's okay though. My landlords already hated me at this point
