  1. Metal polish is good for headlight restoration [emoji106] Also when cleaning windscreen & windows, use newspaper to wipe clean- comes out spotless and streak free!
  2. I would def check all the underbody plastics etc as I had a similar issue with part of my front chin flapping about when driving over 60kph. It may look in place now but becomes displaced when driving so give everything a little nudge to check [emoji4]
  3. Is your fuel pump priming? I just changed mine as starts were slow and then finally just cranked but wouldn't turn over. Maybe low voltage to the fuel pump relay?
  4. Argh that looks really good! Have wanted to do that for ages!
  5. I'm glad it started to get home otherwise I would have been changing the fuel pump on the side of the road!
  6. Omg after all that it was actually the fuel pump!! It broke down again haha. I was suspicious of the lack of fuel smell after cranking so decided to listen out for it priming but only the relay would click. It was obv a fluke starting last time but I did chuck some fuel in it and banged around in the boot. I used a rubber mallet the second time around and hit near fuel pump and tank and it started! Maybe check out your fuel pump as could be the reason you are having rough starts also. Hope this helps!
  7. Good point- on start up only when it has been sitting over night it will start and sort of feels like it is going to die, i don't put any throttle on and it picks up on it's own like jumps straight up to 1500rpm. Worth checking cold start valve? Want to take a look at that and clean my AAC valve
  8. Nothing surprises me these days! Haha maybe I should have stipulated that in the original post!
  9. Of course, was to get it home. Just did timing then a little off
  10. Hi Guys, Seeing as when I run into a starting problem I try to get some info first, I thought I would post how I solved my no start issue for my R33 S2. The car is great, best I have had as it rarely runs into trouble and if it does it is usually responsive to the first thing I do I love her! Anyway, yesterday I got some fuel and went for a little drive. I turned the car off to run into the shop and when I tried to start her it was a slow start and died pretty much as the engine started. I tried a couple more times and would only keep cranking & cranking. Battery was good, got no codes from ECU, heard fuel pump prime and relay click etc. I was worried maybe fuel pump as I didn't really smell much fuel considering the cranking but that didn't end up being the case. Narrowed it down to CAS or AFM. I had a spare CAS so I unplugged mine and undid the three bolts and removed it taking note as best as I could of the bolt position. I put the spare CAS in and it seemed to fit easier and was easier to turn and adjust. Guessed the correct position, tightened bolts and plugged in and she started first go! I was having the occasional slow start which I have put down to being the CAS now as well. For the first minute it sounded like it had a slight miss but after a run that was gone and it sounds so much better than before and starts great. I also gave my AFM a clean just in case which helped also. Anyway, I hope this helps someone! Here is a pic of her with her new wheels. Emily
  11. Hey All, Finally got some better wheels for the Skyline! Forged Jap wheels They are Gewalt EVO II's Staggered 18x10 et 35 rears 17x9 et20 fronts Want more tyre at the front though Anyone know anything much about these wheels? Got them for a steal!
  12. Hey I am chasing a pair of bolt on spacers for my R33. 5 x 114.3 20-25mm Hub centric pref but WHY Cheers, Emily
  13. I want black TE47's or start with rota grids or white enkei's would be cool
  14. Silver on black, silver on gunmetal grey, silver on white are cool I like black on black as well but can't see as much wheel detail but nice brakes stand out. White cars with white or black wheels are cool. White suits everything I reckon, even on red cars
  15. Silver wheels are pretty ideal and white's pretty alright
  16. Congrats on your first Skyline! In regards to your starting issue I'd maybe check out your IACV/AAC valve and fuel pressure regulator. What is the idle like when you start it up? I'd clean the IACV unit- when you press the gas you allow more air into the throttle body. If your IACV is clogged or not functioning properly it might not have enough air to start up. Fuel pressure reg could also be clogged. Do you hear your fuel pump priming?
  17. Also does anyone happen to know what wheels might be on it? Would like to sell them soon, could just take one off and see if I can see the make but bit lazy!
