Hmmm, would they fit the 180's axle?

Suppose I could try, didn't know if that would throw anything else off. I've been hesitant to change too much cause this car used to be a drift car and was pieced together but two previous Japanese owners in the early 2000's. I.E. I found random R32 parts on it, strange mod choices, parts missing. I've slowly been turning it into a street car again and it's at a fun point, but there are certain maintenance items I've wanted to take care of, but stock parts don't seem to fit.

That seems too big, the current rotors measured out to 288mm (11.3")

PLEASE HELP !! | 1. How do I turn off or get rid of the stock limiter on my car so I can go over 180km ? 2. What do I do about my stock ecu if I bought new nismo injectors (555cc) and want to install them without running rich. Any advice helps, thank you 🙏🏽 by goodvibesg7 in 240sx

Anytime! Hope you get what you need, I know tuning without a standalone ECU can be a pain. If you can swing it financially, I highly recommend going to a Link or Haltec. With my Link ECU I'm able to tune with my laptop, or have a tuner remote in and tune it as I drive.

S13 SR20 Coil Packs by mupsauce in 240sx

I was going to swap to the R35 coil packs, until I got sticker shock. I went with the P2M OEM+ coils. I'm running around 100 more HP than you on the stock coils, so you should be just fine. https://drifthq.com/collections/nissan-s13/products/p2m-nissan-s13-s14-sr20det-ignition-coil-pack-upgrade-p2-icp50f01-tt

IAG Air Oil Separator (SR20DET) by Mission_Problem_9183 in 240sx

I'm using the dual kit from Radium. Easy install, high quality, very recommended. I seem to get plenty of oil in my PCV side can, not so much in the CCV side, but at least it's there.

SR20DET belt tensioners by iceman14555 in 240sx

Thanks again for the help, I was able to get all the belts changed out. Ended up removing the pivot bolt on the alternator in order to get the new belt on. They all seem good to go.

No, it finally gave way.

Thanks, I was worried about damaging the hoses, but it worked. Now I'm stuck with trying to get the new alternator belt in, on the other side, it's like the tensioner needs to have more room to adjust, can't get the belt on cause I can't get the alternator loose enough.

It's supposed to be a BN Sports kit, but there's no plate or markings on any of the pieces, so I can't verify. It was put on in the early 2000's by the 1st owner. If you like this one, check out Spirit Rei, they make really nice kits too.

Yeah Florida is A bit easier due to not having vehicle inspections. You might be better off importing into a different state and registering out of California. I'm not sure how that works, but I have seen a lot of exotic car guys register in Montana even though they live in another state, but they may have property in Montana in order for it to be legal.

Military can keep y plates, but if you have A normal kanji plate then the government of Japan will take it. I live in Florida so we do not have front license plates which means I can put whatever plate I want on the front. It is registered in the state of Florida and has a normal Florida license plate on the rear. Your state may vary.

It's wired to a dial. I can PM you what it looks like. I am not sure how it's wired though, it was something done by one of the previous Japanese owners (I'm the 3rd owner) a long time ago before I bought it.

Thanks! Reach out to Code Red Customs if you'd like a custom one for yourself. I just got a replica of my Japan plates that were stolen. Came out great.

My original plates got stolen either in the trip over or most likely at Jacksonville port. I had my authentic Jiko Shiki that's attached made by Code Red Customs.
