Does anybody know what this is. I think its a little valve for controlling coolant to the heater core. Im just not sure if I need to keep it, or what. If I can take it out, installing the sr will be a little less of a headache.

Also what is this? Its in the corner near the wiper motor.

 

First picture: Yes that's the heater control valve. Keep it or toss it, doesn't matter.
Second Picture: That's some sort of electrical box haha, I still have mine. Not sure If i need it or not, but i can go outside start my car and unplug it, if it doesnt do anything then we know we dont need it.

 

Doesn't the test blow less fuses if you unplug it THEN start the car?

 

So the first pic just regulated the flow... ??? Is it supposed to help extend the life of the heater core? or something else?

 

No it's so you can control if you want the Heater on/Coolant flow or not. tossing it is like taking out your Thermostat, you have no control and it'll take forever to get to temp. Not to mention you'll have heater 24/7.

 

So that's what it does - lol I thought it dealt with cruise control for some reason.

 

Oh the Box? Yes I believe thats for cruise control:

258 Auto Speed Control Device :: Body Electrical :: Genuine Nissan Parts :: 240SX Parts (S14) 1995-1998 :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com

 

Why will it take forever to get to temp? I understand you'd be constantly circulating coolant, but the s13 doesn't have this and has no problems getting to temp. I get the analogy of not having a thermostat, but I find it hard to believe the heater core has that kind of heat exchangable properties.

Oh and all I need is heat, no ac and will ultimately be a track car.

So if the s13 doesnt have one and can get up to temp, why would it be a problem in the s14?

 

Just run some rainX antifog on the inside of the front glass and rip all that shit out... oh wait, you live in PA.

Have you taken a look at your thermostat? Maybe someone did what I did to my current car and drilled some holes in it, or removed it entirely.

What about rigging that valve up manually to control your heater core, and have a different switch for the blower to just hit it with a solid 12v? As far as I know it should be able to kick on full speed that way, but you'd want to rig the climate control to pretty much only blow on feet and front glass if you did that.

 

It's not an issue, I start my car, today, It was roughly 68 degrees outside, shorts and a hoodie weather. anyways, started it. let it idle for not even a minute, and it was up to temp. granted i have NO vacuum lines or coolant lines underneath my intake manifold, And i have no thermostat + a huge aluminum radiator. and I have none of that valve shit, straight off the front of my engine. the coolant lines run right to the heater core. cant wait for in the winter

 

^ thats what I thought. Thanks.

Im keeping the thermostat for the engine, but Im not gonna keep that heater core valve. More a pain in the ass to put the lines in with it there.

 

nice


fuck them stock headlights get some glass ones and be a baller. so what are you doing for suspension

 

^ for suspension it'll just be stock until after winter. Until then Im just going to acquire all the pieces I need. I'm going with stance gr+ pro coilovers. I haven't decided on who to get ruca's, tension, toe rods from. And recommendations? Also I need to find a spare s14 rear subframe and put in solid bushings and get it media blasted and powder coated.

Update:

So last weekend I took the sr from my s13 and put it in the s14. Trashed the s13, tears.

 

Look what I got to go to lunch in today.

drooool

 

:rockon

 

^:beer2: hellz yeah.

Gonna get it running again tomorrow. Just received my sonic motoring catback exhaust. got it for 135 + shipping. The price was right, but the welds look like shit. A blind person could have done a better job.

I also figured out what this is

its the wiper motor amplifier

 

Update: the car is running. Just need to hook up rad fans, put on the exhaust, and buy a bov.

pics:

 

I have an intercooler and pipiing with blitz bov for anyone in the philly area interested. I couldnt use it because the bov is right where my miata battery sits.

 

I hate electrical problems. AHHHHHHHH somebody please look at my post in the s14 section

 

Bought these today. Used tein s-tech springs on kyb agx's. Got them for 150. Good deal or Bad deal?

also my interior power on the s14 has gone from intermittent to nothing. No power to gauges, heater controls, windows or lighting.

 

completed and sold a long ass time ago....

CLOSED...

 

This thread sucks... :-/
