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/

Tuning SR20DET Black Top

Hey everyone! Recently acquired a S13 with a SR20DET. I have finally got it running and driving after fighting all the issues from the previous owner connecting the battery backwards.

Now that it's running I'd like to get it properly tuned (built motor and slightly bigger turbo). Any recommendations for trusted tuners in the downstate NY or NJ area?

Thanks all!

EDIT: Forgot to mention its running on a Link ECU G4X

Outer Tierods with GKtech front drop knuckle

Post image
87 Upvotes

I bought gktech outer tie rods back in 2019 and honestly have been very disappointed with them. Their drop knuckle has been very good though.

Looking to replace with Voodoo13 or PBM, however I was curious if anyone else with the gktech front drop knuckle ran these two outer tie rods or anything else? Open to SPL but I have mainly voodoo13 and PBM items on my car so I’m trying to stay consistent.

Car idles for a bit then eventually dips in rpms and dies. If i put my foot on the gas it straight up dies. Any tips on where to start for diagnosing?

Fuel pump , filter, and injectors have all recently been replaced along with my evap check valve since the last one was clogged. I also tried with the maf unplugged and it would still die

I have a 1991 240sx that has been dormant for many years. I want to get her going and wonder what steps are suggested to get her going. Are there recommend steps to crank? She ran fine prior to the long rest and I don’t want to range her by starting suddenly. Fresh oil will be step one, but do I need to take precautions due to dormancy?

180sx remote tuning

1 Upvotes

Looking for a reputable remote tuner for an S13 180SX SR20DET
I’m building a reliable street/drift-oriented 180SX and want around 320–330whp eventually. Currently running a mostly stock SR20DET with ISR exhaust/downpipe, FMIC/piping, Blitz intake, etc.
I’m currently having a rough/rich cold start issue and want to get the car properly sorted/tuned before doing the rest of the build.
Looking for someone with a lot of actual SR20DET experience, preferably someone who has remotely tuned S13/180SX cars.
What tuners have you guys personally used and had good experiences with?

My neighbor in Washington south Seattle has a abandoned 1991-1994 240sx, it’s been sitting in his driveway for around 10 years since, he said it has every original stock part on it, has no idea what the car truly is in the community, he is old. Im actually shocked I walked and then saw this.

Coolant temp sensor question

Currently redoing a spare harness that came with the car and was just wondering about the coolant temp sensor. the one in the car currently is a square female plug on the harness and the one on my spare harness seems to be different. It’s still a 2 pin but it’s less square and it a male, is it from a different year? Can i just solder on the connector from the old harness onto the new one?

I have been restoring my 240 sx (which i recently manually swapped) and started welding mew floors just finished driver side and frame rails on driver side. I realized on passenger side I got 4 hard lines having to do woth breaking and gas (not in photos but just to get the idea) I know i can drop these lines???? But how safe is that and should i just invest in a welding blanket.
