So, this car has never overheated until today.

I was a few miles away from home when I noticed some steam/smoke coming from the front of the hood. I popped the hood and noticed coolant was all over the engine bay. Blown radiator, right?

Well, I decided to let the car cool off before trying to drive back home. Mind you, home is 4 miles away. My plan was to take backroads and drive as far as possible until I had to pull over again when temps got hot.

This most recent stop, however, I noticed some oil on the floor that was not there before. Could this method of stopping, cooling, driving again cause the oil to thin up enough to leak?

BTW, I don’t really have a jack on me to really get underneath and check where the leak is exactly coming from.

Was really debating letting this go, glad everyone talked me into keeping it. Took it to it's first local car meet last night and seeing the joy on young kids faces seeing it, and the amount of compliments, and people saying it's giving them motivation to contuine their build, solidified I have something special here. Cheers to the future, more money to be spent on this, more upgrades coming.

Hello again, I posted recently about the issue on my 240sx, i change spark plugs, oil and injectors car turn over but still there is a lot of smoke coming out and a little of gas out the exhaust. I did the test where you put a glove on the coolant reservoir to check for a blown headgasket and the glove did not inflate. I also thought that it mitgh be gas still in the system so i disconected the fuel pump and left it on for around 8 minutes car didn't die at all but had to turn it off and went to work. What you guys think i should do next?

Did some research but couldn’t find anything where they go. Second picture is under the intake near the throttle body

Finally got around to "Fixing" the rust in the hatch. Main point was to get it water tight. Far from perfect but good enough for me .Definitely learned alot through out doing it.

So my 94 ka24de started misfiring/backfiring, it also surges when warmed up.

I replaced the spark plugs/wires and that fixed it temporarily but it came back, the engine burns oil, and I have found oil in the intake just near the throttle body.

I’ve got a new pcv valve, along with valve/spark cover gaskets. Anyone else have this problem? Would anyone be able to help diagnose?

Really hoping it’s not a burnt valve/bad valve stem seals.

If it helps, compression numbers are 130-135psi on cylinders 2-4 and 150psi on cylinder one.

What shoes should I stick with? Blitz-03 Equips VS-KFs

I was waiting on buying a few small oddball parts from Nengun for my S15, under $500 in total value, but am unsure what the effect of the tariffs will be on orders on car parts such as that? If it matters what the value is declared as or what the shipping is classified as. I'm just confused as to if the $800 de minimis still applies so buying something in my above price will be fine or not, or it comes over as 'auto parts' if I'm hosed either way. Anyone have a better understanding on this? Thank you

It has been a long time, bought this originally and supposedly "built" however it was far from it ... this build turned out to be restomod and took more than 3 years to finish ... here are some pics of it after detail

Really is a shame, the thing was mint. The owner has a large expensive car collection. Currently his newest additions are the Veilside rx-7 from f&f and a veilside NSX.

I’m moving to Germany and I’ve been doing some research on cars I could buy and I’m wondering if a s13 200sx would be a good daily driver. There pretty decent condition and price wise in Germany.

I recently put the fan clutch back in to replace old broken e fans, and the first day of driving it was normal, and the second day i drove it sounded like this. It makes this loud noise when accelerating, and decelerating, and only is quiet when I’m barely on the gas going at a consistent speed, at first i thought it was just a loud fan but that wouldn’t make sense because the deceleration is also loud and it doesn’t seem to make a difference at low or high rpms, simply just how much gas I give it. It also feels like it’s lacking an unusual amount of power, more than just how much a fan clutch takes away. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Can’t seem to figure out why its idling rough ive rebuilt the cylinder head deleted the egr i have isr exhaust manifold i removed the butterfly valves from the intake manifold cant seem to understand any clues. Thanks

Planning on doing a engine refresh on my spare motor before I put it in while my main motor is being built, I’m planning on just doing a osk timing kit, felpro head gasket set, and arp head studs, from my research that should be good for a decent bit of time while I actually build my other engine. I’ll only be running 10-15 psi of boost. Any other small things I should add / change? Also anything I should be aware of first time diving into these engines. Thanks in advance

So for mye ros bearings I need Nismo Std 4 and std 3, which both are discontinued.. Does anyone know the thickness of these so i can replace them with tomei or others?

Does anybody here have any experience with swapping an sr20vet into an s13? Ive been looking at swap options and the sr20vet looks great considering its price and power output, although I’m not sure what I’ll need to swap it over and also the transmission process might be weird considering it the sr20vets were in awd cars
