SilviaMaxxed Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I posted this on zilvia but I'm not getting anything So i've been looking through multiple forums and threads and have found many with similar problems to mine but not found an exact answer. After doing a tune up on my s12 two weeks ago (replaced oil and fuel filter, spark plugs and wires. ran fine all week), last weekend i was out driving around for a few hours and parked for about 5min with the car on and idling. It randomly died after 5 minutes. I replaced the cap and rotor and it started right up, but half way home it died again while i was driving. I turned it back on and drove a few more feet, but it died again after the first time. So far i checked for spark, since i can hear my fuel pump kicking on i'm assuming its working, but I'm not getting spark. I plan on checking the fuses as soon as i get a meter but from my situation does anyone think it will be a fuse or distributor? P.S. my ka24de is from a 96 s14 with s13 ignition and distributor, Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Do you have any codes? Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 possible relay for fuel pump? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Does the fuel pump relay cause "no spark"? Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 i checked fuses today and they're all good. i want to get ahold of a code reader but haven't had time to go get one Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 i'm getting fuel just no spark. Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 could the ecu maybe have taken a crap? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Unlikely. Search ratsun for ka24 no spark Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 noobish question but what is the best way to check coil and distributor for spark? if anyone knows a link to a thread. i found one but I'm more if a visual person. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Pull coil wire out of distributor cap. Place end on top of engine, 1/4" from metal. Watch while cranking. Big fat blue spark is excellent. Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 sooo I'm obviously not a professional mechanic, just an enthusiast like many of you. I had taken off some ground wires that i plugged back in when i got the car(they were taped up when i got the car so i bolted them in) because i thought maybe they were taped up for a reason by the previous owner. Car still didn't turn on, so i bolted them back up, took cap and rotor off and checked them along with spark plug wires, put everything back together then BAM! car turns on :poop: i don't know what it was but hopefully she doesn't do it again.

SilviaMaxxed Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 looking for a differential for it. its a 1984 mk1, it has the h165b differential carrier, solid rear axle, r180 diff but correct me if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 The '84 won't have an H-165 diff. Up to October of the '84 model year if the original motor was a CA18ET it will have a 4.11 R-200. If it was a CA20E then it would have had an H-190. Look on the engine tag behind and above the rear of the valve, cover up on the cowl under the hood. Original engine and differential installed will pe stamped there. S12 with CA18ET Bottom right RC41 is C200 4.11 ratio. A CA20E will say something like HF37 After October '84 model year all rear ends were IRS with R-200 for the turbo (and later VG30) and R-180s for the CA20 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 R200 is IRS H190 is a live axle Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Mine came with the ca20. So I take it the 87 se v6 differential is out of the question. I read about swapping s13 lsd internals or the differential itself would work with some modification. Just looking for a simple bolt on swap to sell the car. Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 this is mine Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Says axle:HE37 That is the 3.7 ratio H190 live axle HC - H165 (165mm diameter ring gear, 6.496 inch) HD - H190 (190mm diameter ring gear, 7.480 inch) ALUMINUM CARRIER HE - H190 CAST IRON CARRIER HF - H190A revised for strength 1 Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 So in terms of a direct bolt on what 300zx differential will do the job? Also ive read about a subaru lsd swap, how efficient is that? Quote Link to comment

No Z car made ever had that differential. Why are you replacing it?????? The H-190 will easily handle a KA. There's nothing to change here. K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid. Quote Link to comment

I've read that s13 diffs. Can be swapped with some modification but I wanted to know if there were any direct bolt on diffs. I'm ha ING trouble finding an h190 in my area. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 S13s were IRS. Their diff's would fit the later S12s with light mods. Not yours. What is actually broke on yours? Quote Link to comment

I'm not too sure. I'm going to drop it this weekend hopefully, i have finals this week so it will have to wait until then. I've been on the hunt and doing whatever research i can. read that there are some 620's that offered the same diff in 1979 i believe. Also for the solid rear axle s12 owners i found some useful threads for suspension and diff. setups newer thread: http://club-s12.org/retro4/index.php?topic=33508.0 older thread: http://club-s12.org/retro4/index.php?topic=21752.0 Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 found an s110 http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/4469012147.html vin looks like it might have the h190 diff Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 if anyone is in Fairfield, CA and going to pick and pull i would really appreciate if you could check the 200sx that is there for me. Here's the info: "Nissan 200SX 85 Row: 0013 Date: 04/22/2014" looking for the model that has the ca20 because i need the h190 differential, thanks in advance. EDIT: okay i got some info on it here http://row52.com/Vehicle/Index/JN1PS24S7FW035188 but not sure if its the differential i need? Quote Link to comment
SilviaMaxxed Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 no SRA on that s12 at php Quote Link to comment
