Intro thread...Chase Bays, Inc

[Chase Bays]

Proud to announce Chase Bays is now a vendor on Zilvia.net! Over the past few months we've been developing some new products for S13 and S14 chassis. Just wanted to make a thread to tell everyone who we are and what we do.

Our specialty is custom engine harnesses and A.N. fittings. Our wiring harnesses are made brand new from pin to pin, using the highest quality wire, sleeving, and heat shrink. We offer many options such as Military Spec connectors for the firewall (used as a quick disconnect for the entire engine harness) Raychem DR-25 heat shrink, yellow sensor labels, etc. Race, Street, and Show cars can benefit from our wiring harnesses. Nissan market wise we make or will be making KA, SR, RB, VQ, LS1, 2JZ harnesses that are plug and play into the S chassis.

In addition to wiring, we do a lot of work with custom AN fittings and line. Specifically for 240's we are making Brake booster delete kits, Brake line relocation kits, AN fuel line kits with inline fuel filters, clutch lines, power steerings kits, custom radiators, and so on. Always open to additional product ideas too, so feel free to PM us with suggestions.

Over the next two months we will have all of the above mentioned products completed and in stock. To show off some of our work and to do further testing we are building an S13, shown below.

These pictures show MOCKUP of our radiator and aluminum power steering tank mounting. Our radiator bolts on to the chassis and sits directly under the core support. This provides you with a great look and more clearance for some of the bigger motors (2JZ, VQ, LS1, RB) The power steering kit will be a full AN fitting replacement kit from rack, pump, to reservoir.

As you can see, our products have a great look with full functionality in mind. Thanks for reading!

[sickrbs14]

fuck yah chase bays is clean shit

[niteridaz503]

Looks good, welcome guys.

[Rockogtr]

dope bays! whats going in that 240 bay?

[Black R]

What are the dimensions of the core on that radiator?

AC compatible?

[Om1kron]

What are the dimensions of the core on that radiator?

AC compatible?

It's a tucked radiator, AC wouldn't have anywhere to go. So it has to come out.

[Chase Bays]

Thanks folks!

We're actually doing a custom A/C condenser that would thread into your stock hoses. You will just have to notch a little off the two brackets that run down from the upper core support.

As far as motor going in, we cant decide haha.

[Dustxking]

I saw chasebays on stanceworks i believe, one of the blog sites, My jaw dropped all the way to the floor when i saw their harness work! I wish i had the money for a harness like theirs.

+1A+ for u guys

[b00stinbmx]

WOW i really hope you guys have all of these products avaliable this winter time when im re-doing my entire engine bay. could def benefit from that radiator with my rb swap. the booster deleete and the AC condensor. i have to ask how hard will the brakes be to operate with that master cylinder?

[FaLKoN240]

Really closely watching this.

[Broadfield]

Good to finally see you on here Chase!

If it's any consolation, I'll be running his brake line tuck and booster delete this winter.

Can't wait to get the stuff!

Toby

[WheelWhore]

Hopefully your turn around time greatly improved. My boy on the eastcoast had a hell of a time getting his brake tuck kit for his da. Something like 6+ months to get and it was wrong.

But good to see you on here regaurdless. Your shit is still nice as hell.

[Flicktitty]

good to see you on here.

[xBtony]

Fuck yea. Time to start savin my money fer ls1 swap. hahaha

[ILoveMyRHS13]

I retract my statement in the other thread. This shit looks GOOD. THIS is what Chase Bays is all about.

I'll be looking into that power steering setup down the road.

Make a VH45 harness and I'll probably buy it.

[DJPimpFlex]

How would the brake feel be with no booster?

[Om1kron]

How would the brake feel be with no booster?

More direct, would take a little more legwork to stop the car. but brakes work the same either way just not power assisted. And removing vacuum from your booster and trying to stop does not feel the same. If anyone tells you different they're a fucking dumbshit.

[thefro526]

Chase Bay's work is definitely impressive, I'll be curious to see how the S-Chassis Products come out.

Also, you mentioned you're working on AN Fuel lines. Do you have any more information on these? Are they going to replace or tap into the stock hard line?

[stricnynel0s]

i am super interested in a harness, i have been waiting for a harness from wiring specialities but its taking tooo long, contact me via email [email protected] i want a series 2 harness with milspec vinyl sleeving and connector from ecu plug to main harness, with resistor wired to inj ( i provide) and no 02 plugs and no maf plug

[hotlavaflow]

How does the brake booster delete work?

Also will you be making a VH swap harness?

[Okinawandrifter87]

Watching this closely as well. Liking what I see so far.

[MandTPhotography]

Chasebays is running train on this portion of the industry.

They (PG+K) also dropkicked a few local forums I'm on.

[bboyoracle]

Glad to see you became a vendor! I bought a brake line tuck for my S13 through Chase and it works and looks great. Looking forward to seeing more products.

[piranhamatt]

Any ballpark price estimates on those radiators for an s14?

[CamryOnBronze]

Excited to see the power steering line setup! Stuff looks really nice!

[Chase Bays]

Thanks for the input, it is much appreciated! Excited to get these products out.

For all the booster delete questions, all of those should be answered well on the site. If not, PM us!

You are correct!

We're offering it with a few options.

1) Adapting the OEM lines with tube nut/tube sleeve and a 37 degree flare OR an AN look hose clamp. The OEM lines are clamped on with lesser quality clamps than ours. Both as reliable from leaks as the other it completely up to you for what you want. See picture for reference...

2) New lines from the tank for an additional cost.

Thanks! I guessing the dropkicking is a negative thing haha. We are friends with them but anything they do should not be associated with Chase Bays, Inc. =P

Any ballpark price estimates on those radiators for an s14?

$400 with normal OEM style outlets, and $450 with -16AN outlets. We ARE going to offer -16AN hoses as an add-on/kit but you will have to have the -16 ends welded to the water necks on the motor or send it in.

Thanks for the support guys. We will be updating this thread often over the next few weeks.

[Chase Bays]

Also, it seems like we need to look for a VH swapped car in the southeast to do a harness development on. Any takers?

I wish I was in the southeast. I'm in ohio and have a VH swap into an s14 in progress!

[nathanong87]

chase dude, s14 sr into s14. GO ;)

[shift_jin]

Legit company right here... Quality

[smbonn2005]

Very interested in a KA harness. Any idea when you will be done development on these?

[Chase Bays]

Thanks for the support guys.

We're getting pictures of the completed PS kits this week.

Brake lines, Brake Booster deletes, and Clutch lines are in stock.

is there anything else required for the brake booster delete?

there was a shaved engine bay thread on here somewhere, and someone said something about a different brake pedal setup for the delete.

also, does it matter if you are not running stock brakes?

It works with stock pedal. All you do is remove the OEM Booster and MC and replace it with our kit.

"Does it matter if you are not running stock brakes" Good question! With this setup the master cylinder size is based more upon weight of the car. The master cylinder we use on most 240 sized cars is a 7/8's. We've used 7/8's on a EVO7 rally car with 4 piston Brembo's and it was completely sufficient.

We're ALMOST done with KA stuff and then moving on to SR

Very interested in a KA harness. Any idea when you will be done development on these?

We're about 2 weeks out on completion of the KA harnesses. SR is about 4 or 5 weeks out, and RB 25/26 will be done by the end of the year.

How about pedal travel? Does this change the pedal ratio from factory at all? What is the max. recommended piston surface area for use with a (short?) stroke 7/8" bore BMC?

Balancing adequate line pressure, comfortable pedal stroke and volume displacement with such a wide range of caliper sizes out there, a single size bore may not be ideal for every possible application.

I agree, I guess I should have elaborated more. One size does not fit all. However, with our testing the 7/8th's on a S chassis with OEM/Z/Most aftermarket brakes has proved itself to be best. If the customer feels as they need a bigger or smaller bore size, then we can discuss that when an order is being placed.

Just to give you guys more knowledge, we installed a 1 inch master cylinder on our booster delete kit and 300zx brakes onto a S13. Its hard to explain it but the pedal was significantly harder to press, and required a lot more leg pressure to get the car to stop. Overkill. We haven't tested it but, I am sure that a full weight EVO or STI (No ABS) would make that extra bore size usable, without giving you leg pains. Just trying to make an example that bigger isn't better in this case.

[DJPimpFlex]

This is very tempting, but there is no way I would purchase it without trying it first. If anyone in Norcal buys a kit and lets me drive it I'll definitely write a review.

I sent you a PM about picking up some of your AN-Look hose clamps with some other questions and haven't gotten a response yet. Are these available for purchase through your website? I looked and couldn't find them.

[VOoDOoGTX]

i have a 240 with a 2JZ swap if you wanted to get your hands on i could get some prices for shipping it down there. no current wiring has been done and the car is a shell at this point.

[Chase Bays]

Replied to all PMs

I would be 100% down. Still on the look out for a 2JZ mockup car.

PM me, our zipcode is 35173

[drivnovrdaedge]

pm sent about doing a harness for 1jz into a bmw e30 ...let me know if we can work something out

[smbonn2005]

Are you going to have the harness go right through the firewall like stock or is it going to have a connector right outside the firewall as I have seen some companies do?

Yes. We wont be making Single cam harnesses sorry.

[Chase Bays]

want to see more of the ls1 harness

Doing a few final tests and R&D will be complete. Expect to see and thread on here and a new store item for the LS1 harness in a week.
