Okay, the purpose of this write up is to provide a free solution to a 150 dollar problem.JWT offers these gears for that price, and while they are useful, few people actually find 150 dollars of horsepower here.However, if you want to use a 248 cam on your intake side, you’re going to be retarding that cam 1.7 degrees.This puts the intake opening event .7 degrees before TDC, which is certainly not helping your top end (which is why you have a 248 in there in the first place).So to correctly install a 248 on the intake side you would have to use a 2.5 degree advance, this would make you only .8 degrees advanced over stock.For this write-up i have taken my goals one step further, and i only redrill the gear for a 5 degree advance.

Sidemarkers. Seems like Nissan went through the trouble of putting them on your fender and having them light up, but they don’t do much else. If you want the increased safety and neato look of a sidemarker that flashes in sync with your turn signals, read on!

I just thought I’d do a quick write-up on how I did my s14 seatbelts to s13 conversion. I hated the automatic seatbelts, so I bought some s14 seatbelts from the classifieds.
Removing the stock seatbelts is pretty straightforward, so I’m not going to post it. I also forgot to take pics during it, that’s why.

Ok, you’re in your car, rolling around, and it’s pouring outside, but you love fresh air, and even if you’ve changed your cabin filter recently, open your windows to let it in.What happens next is you get an unexpected shower coming off of the roof, passing the rain gutter, and landing in a pool on your leg/ arm/ door panel.Well, Nissan gave an option to eliminate this problem, OEM rainguards!

I dropped by to visit my buddies’ local 240 shop today & decided I should roll and flare my fenders to prepare for upcoming modifications. There are numerous DIY articles and posts floating on the Internet, all with tid bits here & there, but all of them seem to be missing some info. What I will try to do is combine all that knowledge and put as much of it into one post as possible. I’ll probably still miss a lot of info, but hopefully this will help some of you guys out there who want to run bigger tires/less negative camber with your crazy low offset & wide rims…

I’ve always been a proponent of using hood pins with carbon fiber hoods. However, the typical hood pins out there, although functional, have less than stellar form (i.e. Sparco hood pins). The ones that have some form, don’t work too well (i.e. carbon fiber key lock pins which have been known to not hold the hood in at all because of the weak lock-to-hood design).
