late model one as well. soneone was being a goose by the look of it.
funny how many of these I'm seeing pop up at the local salvage auctions. kids seem to get them and think they can drive flat out and sideways - not so.
CLICK THIS!
thats a jap R35 - same system, different firmware, same problem. thats my solution to the problem.
garmin navi.
reverse camera. and yes I can keep all 3 cameras..
quick way to check that:
puul the AC relay out and jumper it. there will be one terminal with +12v and another heavy wire that feeds to the clutch. if you connect the two the clutch should click.
last copule of these I have looked at were leaking on the front pipes. low gas = low pressure = no go as the pressure switch shuts the compressor off to save it destroying things.
btw - wave at a white signed combo van when it passes you on lutwyche rd of the morning about 730ish. (thats me!)
tear the car down and have a look its a bit easier that way.
system is fairly closed loop and whilst I can rework one it will not be with the std xanavi gear.
condition of indicators - I'm assuming these are the front ones
BOV pipe - plastic one that runs under i/c?
A/C fan - outside uint that sits on radiator?
its not the first car that I have reworked but it IS one of the bigger jobs I have tackled over the last 22 yrs of owning a car.
given the age of this thing (and since I spent most of tonight on my back under it) its not in too bad a shape.
I did find a packet of jap smokes though. when I was pulling the attessa bottle out of the boot I found a big pile of junk under it inc said jap smokes. all of that => bin.
ordered a lot of small clips today from japan. most of the line clips are hard and decayed due to age so those are underway. reasonably cheap so they got mixed in with a customer order as it was easier to source them that way.
as it sits now there is NOTHING in the engine bay. I spent most of tonight removing the brake/hicas/attessa lines from under the car. these are in perfect order and pretty much just need a clean.
spoke to the panel shop today as well. they are busy till after christmas so it looks like I spend a bit more time on it cleaning and stripping.
car is barely a rolling shell. I want to leave the suspension under it for as long as possible (or until the paint shop frees up.)
let me know when y ou are ready. price I have is a NEW price btw. locally there are a few reco ones. have you tried repco or the like?
that said I do know a few guys that can rebuild them as well. best is new though.
for those that think brake/PS lines are cheap - think again..
this is the parts list for the PSteer pipes and brake tubing. all of which appear to be available.
there are $2k of PS lines in the front area!
the brake tubing is a fair bit cheaper..

few more shots (3 different angles)
left side shot - I'm pulling EVERYTHING out of the engine bay so it can be cleaned and prepped for paint/repairs.
Front on shot. lower support (on crossmember behind lower radiator support) is bent a fraction. I'm going to take a chain hoist to this and straighten it. it looks as if its clipped a tree trunk at some point pushing it up/back. there are two PS line holders on there that are non existent as well.
Right side shot. most of the power steer lines are bent and whilst still useable I'm probably going to replace them IF they are still available.
hopefully before Christmas the car will be ready for the panel shop to take over. with most of the metal work here and waiting to go on I figure it will be close.
I still need a set of GTR guards though.
