New S13 guy here

[Tower240sx]

Hello all,

I just signed up, I see that there is more grey matter here than the "average" forum, I'll stick around as long as that's apparent.

I have 2 S13's One is a sr swapped hatch 1990 IIRC, It's got all the goodies.

The other is a 1993 Convertible, it has "NEW" paint and a type-Xish front bumper and lights.

I also happen to be the manager of a manufacturing Company/Machine shop in Carson CA, If you have ideas for Parts that are nissan related and require CNC work or anything close to it im open to collaboration or...near anything.

You are on FA right?

CNC = teh heat. I will think on some ideas.

Estevan and I were brainstorming on a SR oil block that is well-designed like the Tomei, but costs more like the Circuit Sports one. Connection could be -AN, but Wiggins clamps would be even better due to the tight space and attachment difficulty.

CNC porno!

Welcome lol

wiggins clamps are soo expensive, I can work on that next time I have my SR out unless someone has a stock piece I could use to take dimms from. We also have a cmm for taking 3d forms into memory.

I have an FA account but zero posts, too many big egos for my liking

I really don't think the AN stuff is that hard around that area, at least with a FReddy mani. The wiggins clamps are easy to install/uninstall compared to other stuff, but if access is difficult they're not exactly a breeze since you have to get the clamshell lined up with both installed, then get the clamp around. AN stuff, once you get the threads started you're pretty much good to go since you can hand tighten then just need about 1/4 turn of a wrench to get the right installation torque.

Just my take on it after installing/uninstalling thousands and thousands of wiggins clamps and AN fittings in the past few years.

I'll take your word on it. I installed mine with the OE intake off. Hand-tightening was a non-issue, but the 1/4-turn was a PITA.

With the right shorty wrench or crowsfoot setup its a piece of cake. Just takes a lil tool ingenuity.

i have a spare oil block piece here i can send you if you guys really want to get the ball rolling on this idea. PM me an address and we can get it out the door no problems.

[Tower240sx]

There's a spare around here somewhere i can measure, Maybe at Manonegra's house...His car's been sleeping for about 1.5 years it needs no oil anyway. I will get to this soon after i get def his parts.

More **** to keep Mike from working on parts.
socal240sx guy had these taking up precious driveway realstate.
The black one was bough brand new by his girlfriend and came with
a dealer installed full Xenon kit ($3500 factory option at the time).
Getting them back from the Valley took two trips and was a royal PITA
but was well worth it.
