    cluster illumination lights do not work. HVAC lights do.

    Hello. I'm confused about this and looking for answers. ALL lights work except for the switchable green and orange lights. I swapped in two other clusters, same problem. Gotta be car side. I studied the wiring diagrams, but they're a bit hard to read. It appears that the boost "gauge" lights are...

    Blew a rocker

    Hey guys, I'm trying to get my galant on the road again (for the 3rd time) and besides my massive oil burning issue I found some damage in my head. It looks like I absolutely disintegrated a rocker and damaged my cam, retainer, and lifter. I believe the valve is fine but will inspect it when...

    WTB FOGLIGHT SWITCH+RHEOSTAT COMBO

    Hello, hopefully looking for the whole assembly. Just the housing and the foglight switch would work, or just the foglight switch itself. Don't really need rheostat just housing, figured I'd buy it all as an assembly so I have a spare. Regardless, would love to get the housing and/or foglight switch

    I have two broken GVR4 trans. One broke a while ago shifting hard into 3rd gear. Got stuck in 3rd gear. Newer trans broke after spinning all four wheels on an ice patch in 1st gear. I drove it to a parking spot after spinning it and a couple hours later when I tried to drive away it wouldn't...

    TMZ Throttlebody Rebuild or S90

    I've read some mixed reviews on the S90 throttle body. My throttle body seals are all smoked and i'm pretty sure its the source of my idle issues. I wanna rebuild it with TMZ which is $140. I can get an S90 for only a little more on extremepsi. Should I go for the S90? Not only does it cost more...

    constant clouds of white smoke out of exhaust

    Hey guys, just got the car running after skipping timing and destroying valves and guides for the second time. The car runs great but smokes like a motherf****r. It smokes instantly on startup and constantly the entire time the car's running. Always smoking like crazy. Not many miles on it but...

    Using foglight switch as off/on switch

    Hey, I checked out our service manual's electrical book and I think I figured it out but I wanted a few other opinions before I tried anything. Our dashes come with a blank switch next to the defroster button, and I wanted to wire up a cutout muffler into my car. I had an idea to kinda hide it...

    was hoping for about 350whp, got 260

    Hey, so I'm just a little confused. Everything I've read on this forum and the dsmtuners.com forum say that fuel system, turbo, front mount, exhaust, ecu (dsmlink), intake filter, and supporting stuff like gauges, clutch, and safety will get you about 300-400hp with a tune. Is this information...

    crank no start

    Hey guys, got 1384 rebuilt completely and tuned, ran great, blew an intercooler hose, it sat for a couple weeks, and now it no longer starts.After blowing the hose i taped it up in order to get home, so it still ran after that. It cranks but it just continuously turns over, barely any pops...

    Replaced blown intercooler pipe, runs terribly NO BOOST LEAKS

    I know what you're thinking. I have a boost leak, you're gonna say. BUT I DONT. I tested and it's holding 20psi just fine. The problem is very weird because it is running rough on idle, runs fine at cruising speed, but bogs like i blew an intake pipe when I floor it and the turbo is spooling...

    Completed the car - starter wont engage?

    Hey guys, so kinda a weird problem... I finished putting the car together and when I turn the key I can hear the pump and the injectors (until they were primed), and I can hear the starter try to do something... but whatever that is, it's not start the car. It kinda sounds like the starter when...

    intercooler piping, 2.5 in

    Hey, I'm trying to upgrade all of my intercooler piping to 2.5 inch, but I don't want to use reducers on the TB elbow or the turbo outlet. It's easy enough to find aftermarket TB elbows, but I cant find a 2.5 inch turbo outlet. Anybody know where to get one?If not, how should I run my piping...

    parking brake lever does literally nothing - replace cables?

    My parking brake doesn't do anything, really. It hasn't worked since I got the car. It jiggles up and down but no mechanisms actually engage, and I'm scared to force it up higher. Do I just need to replace my cables to get my parking brake to work? Other threads I've read are pointing me towards...

    Tuner refused to use DSMLink v3?

    I get DSM's are old, but a very popular tuner in my area told me that he finds DSMLink "too limited and archaic" and told me if I got a high quality ecm like "Link" that he'd be happy to help. Is DSMLink limited? Did I waste $600 on this when I should have gotten a standalone? I can find another...

    oversized piston rings

    Hello guys, it took me a while, but I finally figured out the issue with my old rings. Block was bored out by .50mm sometime in its existence, hence the non-fitting factory rings.The issue now is finding oversized piston rings. I can find ring/piston combos and rings for 2g's but not for our...

    shop said i didnt need align hone??

    Hey guys, so when I took my block + girdle + arp studs to the machine shop, not only did they question my girdle, they said that I probably wouldn't need an align hone. ARP and Kiggly both say an align hone is required for either of their products. Shop said they used a dialbore gauge after...

    bent power steering hard lines

    While I was trying to take my inner tie rods off of a rack that isn't in the car, I bent the hard power steering lines that are attached to the rack and go to the rear. I took it to a hose shop to get soft line replacements made, but they couldn't find a fitting similar to the side with an O...

    non-sunroof has sunroof?

    Hey guys, so I'm starting to think 1384 didn't have a sunroof from the factory. It has the non-sunroof dome lights in the front and back, non-sunroof mirror, and non-sunroof sun visors. The sunroof controls aren't in the factory location (front dome lights) and are just a small panel of buttons...
