    Knocking Suspension

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    The guy did say that with the TEIN bearings they cant be sought after to replace just the bearing .. ? so he said i gotta replace the coilover..

    Anyone agree with this? / disagree with this.. ?

    don't know about this statement... i've got cusco pillow ball upper mounts - the mount can be disassembled and the spherical bearing can be removed for replacement/servicing. The spherical bearing is manufactured by NMB and a replacement should be readily available.

    This may/may not apply to Tiens, but i cant see why they'd go into all the trouble of making their own bearings when they are readily available from bearing manufacturers... Whether the Tein pillow ball mounts can be disassembled is another question - but i'd imagine they would be...

    cheers,

    R32 Maintenance parts...

    in Tutorials / DIY / FAQ

    you'll find that the actual sensor is the same (titania, 3 wire, 12mm thread) - the only difference will be the connector type and cable length.

    Another 'compatible' sensor is the OTD2F-B2 which originally suits an R31. If all you're after is the sensor, you can cut/splice/solder into the existing loom...

    :D  I thought the part number for an NGK O2 sensor to suit a HCR32 was OTD2F-P1P ?!?!

    R32 Main Fuse

    yep, that's exactly what i was trying to describe. Under that fibreglass tubing there's pretty much nothing left... So not sure what to replace it with!

    Anyone know what this fusable link is rated at and where to find a replacement??

    cheers

    One of the links from the positive is a "fusible link" which I think is what you are describing.  Its about 10cm long and is designed to die just like a fuse would.  It has a kinda grey fabric covering over it.

    R32 Main Fuse

    Hi All,

    While mucking around in the engine bay I managed to create a short circuit and burnt out a fuse.

    Just wondering if anyone can tell me where the main 75A fuse should be?? The main 75A fuse location in the engine bay relay/fuse box is empty.

    There's a Y connection off the positive terminal of the battery - a portion of this started smoking and seems to have burnt out. could this have been the main fuse??

    cheers

    R32 Gtr Voltage Gauge Reading 18v

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    The car started doing this yesterday after a short trip.

    Initially I thought the gauge might be faulty, then i noticed the ABS light coming on when cruising (voltage >18V) then going out when idling (<18V).

    Drove around quite a bit today and started smelling battery acid. Got home, engine idling and popped the bonnet - discovered smoke and battery fluid coming out of the battery vents. :)

    Anyone experience anything like this before?? Not sure where to start. I'm thinking dodgy alternator??

    cheers
