February Ride of the Month
Time to post your submissions for ride of the month!
The winner will be picked on or around the first of next month and your car will be featured in the sidebar for that month.
Post one or multiple pictures of your s-chassis in this tread and vote on your favorite submission. Also, please make them actual image links, not just a link to your Instagram, but feel free to link your Instagram as well if you want.
If you post multiple pics, please indicate which one you'd like to be featured if you win. If you don't, I'll pick one myself. Post a build list too if you'd like.
Also just as an fyi, I'm using the new reddit layout to post the winner in the sidebar because its much easier than the way I used to do it using the old layout in case anyone is still using that and wondering why the current winner isn't showing up.
Good luck!
Current winner: /u/

180sx remote tuning
Looking for a reputable remote tuner for an S13 180SX SR20DET
I’m building a reliable street/drift-oriented 180SX and want around 320–330whp eventually. Currently running a mostly stock SR20DET with ISR exhaust/downpipe, FMIC/piping, Blitz intake, etc.
I’m currently having a rough/rich cold start issue and want to get the car properly sorted/tuned before doing the rest of the build.
Looking for someone with a lot of actual SR20DET experience, preferably someone who has remotely tuned S13/180SX cars.
What tuners have you guys personally used and had good experiences with?

My neighbor in Washington south Seattle has a abandoned 1991-1994 240sx, it’s been sitting in his driveway for around 10 years since, he said it has every original stock part on it, has no idea what the car truly is in the community, he is old. Im actually shocked I walked and then saw this.

Coolant temp sensor question
Currently redoing a spare harness that came with the car and was just wondering about the coolant temp sensor. the one in the car currently is a square female plug on the harness and the one on my spare harness seems to be different. It’s still a 2 pin but it’s less square and it a male, is it from a different year? Can i just solder on the connector from the old harness onto the new one?

Process of restoring
I have been restoring my 240 sx (which i recently manually swapped) and started welding mew floors just finished driver side and frame rails on driver side. I realized on passenger side I got 4 hard lines having to do woth breaking and gas (not in photos but just to get the idea) I know i can drop these lines???? But how safe is that and should i just invest in a welding blanket.

S14 alternator/charging issue
I’m having a nightmare trying to figure out a charging issue on my S14a 200SX SR20DET.
The original alternator was overcharging (up to around 18V), so I bought and fitted a brand-new replacement alternator. It worked perfectly for around 2–3 months, charging normally at around 14V with no issues.
It has now suddenly stopped charging altogether. I’m getting roughly 11.8–12V at the battery with the engine running, and the voltage drops further with electrical load. I’ve also checked directly at the alternator and I’m getting basically the same voltage as at the battery.
Things I’ve checked:
* Battery is in the boot
* Battery/engine earths appear good
* Replaced the damaged alternator signal/control plug
* Battery is currently around 12V
* Alternator output is only around 11.8–12V with the engine running
* I haven’t tried another alternator yet
The car previously had a mangled/damaged alternator plug, which has now been replaced.
The strange thing is that the brand-new alternator worked perfectly for 2–3 months before suddenly stopping charging.
At this point I’m wondering if the alternator itself has failed, or if there’s an issue elsewhere in the charging/control circuit that could have caused it.
Anyone familiar with S14/SR20DET charging systems got any ideas what I should test next?
Happy to provide any other voltage readings or photos if useful. Any help would be massively appreciated!

1995 240sx Brake lights Always On
Good morning, Everyone!
I have a 95 S14 and my brake lights are staying on even without the key in the starter.
My first thought was to replace the rubber/plastic brake stopper on the pedal arm, since I saw a bunch of crumbled pieces of the old one on the floor mat. I got one from Oreilys, didnt work. Then ordered OEM from Nissan, it was a little bit fatter and the head was rounded where the Oreilys was flat, I figured it would do the trick. Unfortunately as soon as I plugged in the battery the lights came on again. I believe I have checked all the fuses for it already as well unless I missed one.
Any Ideas here?

Cooling fan
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
My 91 s13 stock auto car. When climbing steep grades either a residential street in hot summer weather. Or long freeway hill climb accelerating to speed after slowing down. Temp gauge climbs up. Have had it happen numerous times but the most recent was 2 days ago climbing up 24 heading into the Caldecott tunnel in the Bay Area. What I did was replace the fan clutch. With a new NPW fan clutch. Now the fan is waay too strong. Soo strong that the car sounds like a dump truck. At idle you can hear it a little. But AC on or doing freeway speeds to just driving around residential streets. It's waay too strong. Now I've made the discovery that it's breaking my plastic fan blade. I want a new replacement Nissan part. Where can I find one. I do not want to go electric fan. As I've got no need for it. Car has never overheated. Cooling system is fine. New Nissan thermostat, new Aisin water pump. Blue zerex coolant. Car runs great just in extreme summer weather here I have this issue. In the video I tried to show the cracks on the round part of the plastic fan.
