can anyone enlighten me on issues such as the avaiablity of parts for this car and common problems related to the levin. Parts such as: suspension bushings(cradle arm, stabalizer bar, steering ends etc), engine parts(water pump, timing belt, sensors etc), body parts. Are these all readily available?

loctite is overkill...i know someone who used the procedure as Hook mentioned, no issues to date.

Yea but is your ecu area a high vibration area? i find crimping is really strong if not stronger that soldering. I am in fear of a cold solder joint. Anyone else oppose crimping as a method on your harness?

gizmo

I'm not actually doing an install. I just wanted to find out what is the 'professional ways/methods of actually splicing into an engine harness neatly. I have observed many pieces of work where people jus cut, stripback insulation, solder and electrical tape their connections. I personally find it m...

" press-on connectors and 'tap' the wires WITHOUT REMOVING ANY ANSULATION"

great what do these look like and where to get them? u ever used them?

gizmo

I just want to know what's the best method to use when installing these devices that tap into you engine harness. How do you splice your connections properly? Soldering or Crimping? Iknow that the airflow wire must be cut, that's why they give you male and female connectors. But for the other connec...

Can one cut out the firewall from another car, say a b13 and weld that firewall on another b13 shell and sell the car? Is there a procedure for this in the license office?

i think that it is a "worthwhile project" once soldered and heat shrunk properly. I remember with my eg9 there was a flood in uwi and the water reached as high as the door and the jacks for the ecu was covered in water !!!. i was hating on that honda for the ecu location...nissan has there ecus in t...

^^^ not limp mode it just stays in open loop and hence more fuel and less economy. Limp mode results from short circuit or problems with major sensors such as maf. You'll know you're in limp mode because rev limit might come it a 4000 rpm or so together with a rich condition.

Just use coolant in your mixture next time you flush. Radiators clog easily

^^^yeah that's true. You'll know if you do this technique properly. The shifter will literally slide out of your hand without any resistance. First find the 'shift points' of your particular gearbox because each gear has a different ratio. Accelarate in 1st up to about 4000 revs and note the speed, ...

if yuh drive a gearbox with a worn synchro, learning this technique is a must in order to extend the life of that worn synchro especially in honda 3rd gears...damn honda and their weak a$$ gearboxes
