Thread: What Did You Do To Your B13 Today?

want some fog light covers?

I pmd you about those Nissan ones you found in the beginning of May! If it's those sets you shared pictures of, then I'm definitely interested!

Replaced the alternator with a b15 unit. The positive post placement was way too close to the eBay tri-y and was soaking up heat causing it to slowly die (ve alternator, ve motor) This was identified by a whining noise coming from the alternator and watching voltage drop to the low 13s with the lights on.

Didn't die completely and didn't get stranded. Got it before it became a real problem.

well that explains why I didnt have an issue on my VE with the tri-y..LOL I have a B15 alt on it

I know this, it's why I went with a b15

Idle is better and the car pulls a little smoother now. Stereo sounds better and my cheap-o sub sounds a bit better/tighter

Speaking of the sub, I've got everything tuned to an almost acceptable level, and it does exactly what I want it to do perfectly. If anyone is looking for a cheap all in one sub/amp/enclosure combo that will fit under b13 seats the Rockville 8" on Amazon is hard to beat

I had great success using the trash bag method but the solution I used was 50% 409 and 50% dawn liquid soap & water. Steel wool and elbow grease worked best for me in removing the old glue...size 000 or 0000 steel wool.

Do you know what model they are off of?

The striker seems to be used for a wide variety of cars, and it's tough to get a full list since other part numbers are superseded to this one.

I30 96-99
Maxima 96-99
Altima 93-97
Sentra 91-99
200sx 96-98
240sx 96-98
NX 91-93
Stanza 93-97

The cover seems to only be listed for:
370z 09-12
GT-R 09-15

But it fits like a glove.

I got the idea from this guy - http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/tmickie/56830466.html

I did another round of windex/trashbag yesterday, and it went much better than the first time around. The window cooled down too much before I got every bit from the edges, but it's 99% clean rather than 20% after the first round.

Successfully replaced my fuel rail with new-ish injectors, fresh allen head bolts, fresh pintle caps...

Only to be unsuccessful at figuring out my cyl #1 misfire.

Going to check my #1 injector harness wiring next.

Bleh. Feels like this car has been sitting forever, with everything else in my life taking priority.

@llaprad1 ...I should have arranged a meeting when I stayed in Nashville on the way to the convention! Mark it for next year!!!

P.S. Do you have a spare bedroom?
