ever plan on gutting the rear hatch area? might have more room for tiressss
eh.
you must realize im real lazy, id have no place to put the rear interior, and at the end of the day i can fold my carpet back and have a full car so if i got pulled over it doesnt look so bad haha
AND
ony m blue hatch,
i found this under the clusters
WHY WHY WHY? is the harness cut and labeld?

damn dude, thats kinda whack. I'm wondering if perhaps that car didn't have a digidash at one time, and someone spliced on the analog dash plugs, that would be not an easy job, but I can't think of any other reason. If its not broken tho, I wouldn't mess with it. Certainly jaidedeye might know something, seeing as he would have had the dash out to dye it I imagine.
my interior, is stored in the dump. lol
Oct 27, 2008, 1:57 am · #305
i dont know but im kind of ticked off he could have told me. ughh there just crimped not solderd and will most likley come apart at the wrong imte. then ill have to figure out which on it is
is that a easy replacement or is that part of the main harness?
the digicluster, not the backround, but the forground is painted silver, like the clock in my interior, i never noticed though but he has deff been back there cuz her pulled the dash.
if he went from digital to analog, or whoever, that means there is a possibility of more milage, or less on my chassis?
Oct 27, 2008, 2:03 am · #306
You would have to replace the entire dash harness, which is a standalone harness separate from the chassis harness. If you pull the dash out, it would be something that you have to remove from the back of the dash when its facing down, its all woven in the dash itself. I'll have pics of mine up in my build thread real soon. Not very difficult tho. I'm just concerned that the chassis harness on a digidash car is different from a analog car, but I doubt it. Dash harnesses aren't all that hard to come by, so I wouldn't worry about it, really.
noticed you added more, so I'll follow suit.
if the dash has been changed, and the cluster has been swapped with one from a different car, who knows what the MI would be. the only real thing to do at that point would be to run a carfax report on it and see what it came up with, you may get an idea, maybe not.
you are talking about it being painted, you do or don't have the digicluster in the 84 car? because it would be SUPER weird if it was digidash and had a speedo cable running up there, that would be messed up.
did you ever get the title for that car?
Oct 27, 2008, 2:08 am · #307
well im deffinetly going to replace it if i see any problems whatsoever.
jaidseye pulled the dash so i doubt he ziptied them back hopefully not or used some impossible way to make it hard to replace
another Q
when i accidently pulled out the wrong piece of harness in the engine bay (those little box thingys) after i took out the engine
i might have put one in wrong places?
when i turn on my lights its all wack and disconfigured and shittt
my headlights wont pop up and down either
Oct 27, 2008, 2:19 am · #308
yeah, you'll have no problem removing the wiring out of the back of the dash if it came to that, its pretty simple, you couldn't lock it in there that tight.
I don't really remember that far back, but if you disconnected relays, they are all colored, and the colored top parts match the bases. The headlight sensor I sent you plugs into a connector right by the fusible link box in front of the battery, so not much there. All the grounds still good? everything else still connected? all fuses good?
what exactly do the lights do? did the popups go up and down before?

i cant remember it was far back too, the engine might have been in.
but before everything worked 100percent fine, and i had talking lady and pop up lights
ill take a video of me pressing the qwitches next time i hook up a battery

well, i paid my friend 24 dollars and i told him i want my flow master and to bend out the side,
a previous friend gave me a 90 degree angle pipe,
stopped by the junk yard and got some rubber hanger things
and BAM
there i go
it sound decent, im uploading a sound byte right now
i put my hand over the end of the pipe at cold startup NO LEAKS. no EXUAST LEAKS AT ALL! holy shit weehoo waawaaaweewwaaaab
and my friend hit a mail box point blank today driving my car, on the same fender poor fucking fender.

wow, hung properly and everything. thats a great way of doing it!
only thing, you might want to extend it out further so it goes to the edge of the body down low, this might lessen the reverberation in the car (noise/hum inside when you're driving) if its an issue at all.
Oct 31, 2008, 8:10 am · #316
200sxkitcarwow, hung properly and everything. thats a great way of doing it!David, you might also wanna watch out, if that cat is actually a cat, and not a gutted one, it might burn out the insides of the muffler, as the cat creates a LOT of heat.

i know right something done almost right on my car!
it took us a HOUR to do it.
he somehow WELDED the pipe as it was hanged and hooked up, no leaks? awesomeness. he didnt even have a welding mask, just one of those pieces of flat plastic that has that tint plastic in it
oh btw thats the same guy that welded my diff
im probally gonna weld a extension on myself when i get a hold of my friends welder again, that should be cake for me.
id rather deal with the humming and not throw a flag out to po pos
XanoDavid, you might also wanna watch out, if that cat is actually a cat, and not a gutted one, it might burn out the insides of the muffler, as the cat creates a LOT of heat.
alot of heat from my 85 whp s12? and so be it, ill ruin a pos flowmaster lying around my garage. as long as it KINDA lookslegal.
the best a 30 dollar job can do compared to NOT having a muffler
UPDATE.
so since my friend hit that mail box in a junkyard parking lot somehow.
my fender dented in just as bad as before, actually worse. because it was weak from last time.
i once again. banged it back out (i had him remove the fender) and pay for my welds
put it all together,
it looks worse. and there are scrapes. i bet i could get some out. and the white paint off but im lazy.
im gonna take a pic and post it
Oct 31, 2008, 6:02 pm · #318
eh. i just cant beleive he hit a mailbox in a p lot. im sick of banging this fender outt

Nah he doesn't have anything to worry about, the interior design of a flowmaster doesn't use material, it just uses steel baffles:

For anyone curious...

I thought this Flowmaster was kinda neat looking:
Super 44
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/arrospeed/0803tr_34_z50_new_partsflowmaster_s.jpg)
I'm not sure I'd want anything other than a straight through for a turbo application, but for NA a flowmaster is probably fine.
Oct 31, 2008, 6:42 pm · #320
yea i think ill live.
no turbo for me anytime soon.
that black diamond plate muffler looks way crazy!
flowmaster is cheap. and doesnt have a high pitch rice can noise to it. plus its not a 3 inch can so it fits under the car. i had to bang the heat shield/floor panel under the seat a little bit from the bottom so it wouldnt rattle but its not noticable i wonder what it sounds like WITHOUT the cat converter lol

IggyEGuanaSounds FAAAARKING nice!! Nothin wrong with a Flow. Sounds great David.thanks, this saturday if everything stays ont he car, i should be able to get some footage of the exuast on LOAD at my LAST DRIFT EvENT THIS SEASON
god dammit nooooooo. i get all this strees throughout the weeks and after i drift it doesnt matter and i feel relived. its like a ridiculous crack addiction. i tinker around with my car and go around town looking for tires and all this shit and i get so excited. but no more for awhile. ill be saving money. money saving. lots of money saving, to afford my new power plant
and i have to NOT total my car at ODS, because NOW i have to DD it to work this winter on my restricted liscense
oh did i mention that this is the LAST slideways event ever? meaning that old dominion speedway will NEVER ever EVER have drift events anymore, the guy that runs it has his own car ready now and is throwing in the towel, and our contracts are up anyways
so instead of drivint 3 miles to ODS ill have to drive to summit point, or fartehr for other places

Well as long as you're NA... I'd never use something like that on a turbocharged engine, because the turbine wheel essentially muffles much of the noise, and now the only purpose those baffles serve is to restrict flow. You know what they say, the best turbo exhaust is a wide open one.

well on my blue s12 i wanted to fabricate a fake cat and just run a straight pipe with the HKS 3 inch muffler, i think the inlet is 2.5
on a KA i was gonna go with a 2.5 inch pipe all the way to fake cat to 3 inch HKS that i have

Lucky you... in California, it's not how many years old the car is. We have a cutoff year, 1979 build year is the last year that can get away without smogging. After that, it has to be smogged. Doesn't matter if it's the year 2008 or the year 2028.
