  1. Removing Broken Exhaust Manifold Studs and Broken O2/Turbine Housing Bolts

    HeyI was taking off my exhaust manifold/turbo/o2 housing/exhaust off to upgrade it. I didn't soak some of the part in PB Blaster the rest i did. The ones I didn't broke (go figure) :notgood: .Anyways I've been trying to get them out with no luck. I've tried drilling them out for an ez...
  2. Clutch type LSD characteristics

    HeyI have a buddy looking at a 240sx with a 2 way clutch type LSD in it (i know this is a dsm forum but dsmers are just more knowledgeable :shhh: :sneaky: ). Anyways he took it on a test drive and he said at low speeds it was loud. Said it would almost make a clunking noise similar to a...
  3. Best way to remove Power steering fluid from Rack and Pinion?

    Actually it was meant to read as I'm taking the lines and pump out. Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up doing something a little different but it worked out fine.
  4. Best way to remove Power steering fluid from Rack and Pinion?

    HeyI'm not a newbie to dsms but this is a fairly easy to answer question so I figured this would be the best place to post.I'm going to be removing my powersteering lines (leaving the rack for now :rolleyes: ) and the pump as well. My one question is what is the best way to get ALL or...
  5. Did your ACT clutch fail on you? If so, post here

    I just recently had my ACT clutch disc completely destroy the hub. When i pulled the pressure plate about 15 piece fell to the floor. But this failed due to missing one of the dowel pins and the bolts backing themselves out. There was only 2 bolts holding the transmission to the motor. IMHO...
  6. Tranny Shifts Terribly. PLEASE HELP!

    The clutch pedal assembly is fine. No problems there.Is there any way to check the fork while the car is together? I pulled away the boot but can't really see anything going on in there.The problem is progressively getting worse. It basically won't go into gear until it pretty much...
  7. Tranny Shifts Terribly. PLEASE HELP!

    Also forgot to add. ACT 2600 Clutch, XACT Flywheel, New mitsu TOB (4k miles), SS clutch line. The slave and master are working great but it just seems like it isn't disengaging because it just shifts like shit.
  8. Tranny Shifts Terribly. PLEASE HELP!

    HeyI have been struggling with this for the last couple of weeks. First my car clutch would not disengage fully (might still be the problem) and so I replaced the slave and that seemed to make the car at least driveable.Basically what is happening now is that my car will shift into...
  9. 10s on a 14b

    Way to go on the times. That's just amazing. :thumb:
  10. Car will not shift into gear. Tried several things.

    Well I fixed it. I ended up pushing the slave into the cylinder the opposite direction it moves and now everything is cool. I'm guessing the pressure wasn't equalizing or something like that. If anyone has a guess why I am all ears.
  11. Car will not shift into gear. Tried several things.

    Anyone help. This is bugging me bad.
  12. Car will not shift into gear. Tried several things.

    Well I'm starting to think I might have a bad slave . My slave is a cheap autozone and a person i talked to said they have had problems with them.
  13. Car will not shift into gear. Tried several things.

    The clutch pedal assembly is fine. Where do you get the longer rods. I have forgotten.
  14. Car will not shift into gear. Tried several things.

    Well to start I have ACT 2600/XACT flywheel, stainless steel line, new slave and newer master cylinder. I have had this setup for a year or so.The other day my car started shifting a little "stiffer" so to speak. A little harder to get into gear. I checked my adjustment on the master...
  15. Death to a DSM....April 20, 2005

    Not to be a dick or belittle your situation because I think that is totally shitty but it WAS your fault (not necessarily in my opinion but by the books it is). You can't make that turn until it is safe to make it regardless if the light is almost red or is red. Now if he BLATANTLY blew threw...
  16. Issues, Yes I have them.

    Before all the issues in my car came up it was at 204-206.After that the ECU starts to pull 1 degree of timing up until I think 224 and then it pulls another one. That is probably a little too hot if you ask me.You should get a thermostat that opens 10 degrees sooner then the one you...
  17. Issues, Yes I have them.

    Yeah if it comes to that I'll pm you and let you know. You hitting up lagoon lol?
  18. Issues, Yes I have them.

    Nice. I thought the name looked familiar. Draper is a DRIVE! But if I can't find one in the ogden area (Kim and Adam lol) I will look into that. Thanks.
  19. Issues, Yes I have them.

    Sweet. Utah dsmers are the shit! Check out www.utdsm.org if you haven't yet.Yeah I did the hole paper clip ordeal. That is what I ment by I shorted out the switch (basically eliminate the switch as one of the problems). The fan did not come on while the cars ignition was on. My fan had...
  20. Issues, Yes I have them.

    Thanks a ton! :thumb:Gives me some hope that the problem is very small to what I thought it could have been. Once I get a new fan I will let everyone know what becomes of it.Keep the opinions coming please!
  21. Issues, Yes I have them.

    Well I shorted out the fan thermoswitch and the relays were clicking but the fan wasn't kicking on. So my fan has gone bad.Does anyone think that would cause the overheating issues COMPLETELY? I think it's possible but I'm not sure I just can't seem to justify all the problems leading to...
  22. Issues, Yes I have them.

    Anyone?!?! :(
  23. Issues, Yes I have them.

    HeyIssue #1: Car Overheats and Fan is not kicking on.Well I got my car all back together and it has been running fine the last couple of days. Well today my car decided to get hot again. It got to about 223 when I noticed it and immediately shut it off. I waited til it had cooled to 190...
  24. Night shots of my 2Gb Talon.

    Very nice car :thumb: ! I'm personally not digging the rims though. Your buddy's car is very nice too :thumb: .
  25. 120MPH Downshift Explosion!!!

    I bought my car from a good friend of mine. Right before he sold it to me he destroyed the clutch in the car when it was stock. He never told me the real story of how it happened due to him being embarrassed I'm sure but there was a huge hole in the bellhousing and it shot through the fan and...
  26. First Time at the Track

    LOL! Yeah I'll keep my eye out. Thanks for the support.I have no idea on the camera. Some guy posted up pics on a website I visit. He might have mention what kind camera he had in the thread. If you are really interested PM me and I'll check it out for you. :thumb:
  27. First Time at the Track

    Thanks man. I've always wanted to have a clean dsm so when I got my new one I went to town on making it look at least half decent. To bad it's slow lol.Yeah that's about what I was thinking. Hopefully I'll get the good launch next time.Yeah i totally hear you. I got caught up with the...
  28. First Time at the Track

    HeyAfter being a dsm owner for about 2 years and 2 dsms I FINALLY made it to the track. My mods are in my profile.R/T ... .545 60' ... 2.458 :notgood: 330 ... 6.483 1/8 ... 9.639 MPH ... 79.58 1000 ... 12.327 1/4 ... 14.612 MPH ... 98.26So I...
  29. any Sublime fans?

    Sublime is definately one of my favorite bands. Such a chill band. Last summer that was about the only thing I listened to along with 311. Up until recently I hadn't really listened to them because I was going through a wierd transistional stage with my life :notgood: . Now that summer is...
  30. 90 talon tsi awd, running on 2 cylinders

    I know my car and I know how it runs. You can still drive on 3 cylinders and 2 cylinders just limps around. I even had it running on 1 cylinder for a second ROFL. I found out I was out of gas due to me being a dumbass.I ment to post this in a new thread and not do a thread resurrection...
  31. Weird problem with empty gas tank light.

    I feel like a dumbass. When I put the gauges back together I put the needle for the fuel gauge above where it should go. So when it looked like i had about 1/8 tank it was really empty. I had thought about that but everytime I moved the needle it would go back to that spot so like a dumbass I...
  32. 90 talon tsi awd, running on 2 cylinders

    HeyWell my car was throwing an ignition coil code a couple of months ago and when it happend it would run on 3 cylinders but I would clear the code and it would be totally fine for quite awhile and then it just stopped doing it altogether.Flash forward a couple of months. Now the car...
  33. Weird problem with empty gas tank light.

    I installed my fuel pump months ago. This almost FOR SURE is directly related to the gauge cluster. I also said the light come on but will go off at times so that would mean it's not the fuel arm.I'm going to pull the cluster in a second and see if I notice anything strange but I doubt I...
  34. Weird problem with empty gas tank light.

    HeyI just got done doing a couple of mods to my car and one of them I was going to do but decided against was some indiglo gauges. They were actually vinyls that go over the stock gauges :notgood: . I removed the gauges and pretty much had the entire cluster torn apart. I put it back...
  35. Installation Assistance: Broken exhaust manifold studs [Merged 4-8]

    I was able to remove one of the studs out of the head with a HUGE set of pliers. Sucked balls. I honestly don't think they'll break when I retorque them but if they do then :tease: at me.I think I'm just going to get a good set of bits and a new set of ez outs cause I broke the last one...
  36. Installation Assistance: Broken exhaust manifold studs [Merged 4-8]

    Yeah I have no problem taking the turbine housing to a shop but the head is still attached to the car and I think that is where the real issue will come into play.
  37. Installation Assistance: Broken exhaust manifold studs [Merged 4-8]

    HeyI was taking off my exhaust manifold/turbo/o2 housing/exhaust off to upgrade it. I didn't soak some of the part in PB Blaster the rest i did. The ones I didn't broke (go figure) :notgood: .Anyways I've been trying to get them out with no luck. I've tried drilling them out for an ez...
  38. vpc and afc vs. dsmlink

    Wow an 11.2 and you don't know what to run. Kinda crazy.You have a couple of options. You could upgrade to a 2G MAF. I've heard of some people even running a evo 8 one but that's just hear/say.I would go with dsmlink and GM MAF translator for your setup.Seriously though you should...
  39. CEL: Coolant Temp sensor

    Yes that ecu should work as long as it's a 91-94 turbo ecu.
  40. Taking a break after 8 years

    Too bad about you selling your car, you'll regret it. You'll be back though. They always come back.
  41. This is what an EVO bumper would look like on a DSM...

    You forgot the two long cut outs above the main opening. That would make it look a lot better :thumb: .
  42. Clutch Problem

    I would say about 99% sure it's your clutch. You probably just need to get a new one for it.I just did a 1g AWD clutch job. Much easier then I thought and you only have FWD so it'll be even easier.
  43. what fluid [transmission]

    Yes I have tried this stuff along with a lot of different gear oils (BG II, Syncromesh, Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil, etc.) and it was definately the best of the bunch by a long shot. The downside to this though is that it is a lot thicker. Now correct me if I'm wrong but the thicker stuff will...
  44. CEL: Coolant Temp sensor

    What the ECU does is sends 5 volts to a sensor and it gets it back. If it doesn't get the 5 volts back it throws a code. What you can do is take a volt meter and follow the voltage through the wire through the sensor and back through the wire. Where ever you stop seeing the voltage is where...
  45. Did seafoam do this?

    Maybe your axle is going out. Mine did something similar to that. The poping sound on deceleration makes me think it even more.
  46. Anyone have Seibon Evolution Carbon Fiber Hood Pics

    That link IS the VIS Evo hood. I have it and it looks WAY NICE! Definately high quality. Don't forget hood pins if you get one :rolleyes: .
  47. 1Ga 1Gb frount Clip Swap

    Fenders bolt up directly.It's a pretty easy mod IF you have the parts. If not good luck finding them.Well worth it though. Made my car look 100 times better.
  48. My New Paint Job!!

    Five grand on a paint job?!?! Should have gone to maaco.:pJ/k. Looks way nice. Just don't know if I could justify spending that much on a paint job for a car that was worth that much. Then again I spent 1300 on a paint job on a car that was valued at 2400. So what do I know. :|...
  49. clutch slips... changed clutch, lightened flywheel, and slave cyl still slips

    It could be the Master cylinder. Check under the dash for leaks. Make sure the system is bled of air.If not that look into the flywheel. It could be surfaced wrong.
