Pft shh 89

Ok so after being to the mechanic to fix a stripped spark plug hole, they found that one of my intercooler pipes was to long causing the silicone joiner to work itself of over the last year and a bit. So they haven't shortened and double clamped it back on, problem solved. Also found where the top hose that is broken goes to and its the join directly underneath the intake pipe so i will go down to supercheap and grab 9 inches (8 inches of loose hose on the top side, and 1 inch that is still hiding under intake) of rubber hose and fix that up. The missus also made all wedding appointments so is still happy, (thanks to mostly mum for the loan of her car, and 1 hellish ride for me on the back of my bros crotch rocket). Thanks to all who have replied to this thread.

Profec B spec II is the controller, ok so that would i guess explain why i don't have anything connected to that top outlet, and yeah i have that MAP sensor connected via the one way valve/filter thing so that is ok as it's still standard turbo etc not going anywhere 14psi. This canister you speak of is that the black coke can-ish sized cylinder right behind the passenger headlight?? if so is it important?? ie critical that it is connected, because that is the hose thats broken on mine, will have to trace the pipes back from the canister to see how much i am missing.

i'm in townsville, nth qld, there is like 5 stageas in my whole town, as far as i know none are on here. the pic i just posted is not my car, was just a random pic i found in another thread that had a really good angle. the 3rd and 4th pic in original post is my car. the broken hose is the one that shoots up out of the engine bay to the left of the photo frame.

So i found a good photo of the hose i found broken, its the one near the top of this photo immediately to the left of the blue electrical connector. If anyone could tell me where this goes I would be very appreciative http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/uploads/1264243504/gallery_34711_3643_89247.jpg

dunno if that would look as good on other colours, definately looks mint on the black though

Thanks mely, those photos help a fair bit. Photo 1, Hose 1 is definately the blank outlet that i have, ie i have no hose on there. Photo three isn't quite the right angle i think, i have that hose with the filter/non return valve (whatever it is). I beleive the broken hose is on that part with the blue electrical connection, it has a solenoid with two side by side outlet/inlets the left side goes over to the intake manifold and the right side is the one that i have about 8 inches of, it has a couple molded bends in it with a second hose (heat shield) slipped over the top. any clues as to where that goes?? Also i have a feeling that where Photo 2, hose 1 is connected to the plumback pipe is where they have connected my boost controller to. I'll have to double check that tomorrow after work when it's light to be sure. Also this fix is slightly less urgent now as the missus was able to postpone plans, and we can steal my mothers car some days. Still need to get mine back on the road though.....

yeah i do sometimes get a bit frustrated, did a quick search and found that it is possible to repair, will ring around. Thanks everyone

Checked the plugs and they were worse than i originally thought they would so started changing them, coils are splitfires with no evidence of arcing at all. Now i have more issues as #6 was tough to get out and now trying to get back in have realised it had been cross threaded so won't go in properly......so what's the fix for that?? buy a new head??

that's my problem i dont know what should be connected/used etc. i have a boost controller, i know that. i don't know where the dodgy hose is supposed to go to. as i only have the one end of it. the other empty outlet that i photographed is the only empty one i can find, edit* and if that solenoid should be used where should that hose go to?? is that definately my mysterious broken one??

Hey all need some quick info about hoses for boost controlling devices. I don't know alot about the workings of all the controllers, actuators, solenoids etc that control the boost, pressures etc. My car has starting running rough, like its misfiring etc, have checked timing and spark plugs they are fine. I did however find a hose which appears to be broken, and a blank outlet on another solenoid?? from photos in other threads i have seen that they all have a hose attached to this outlet, would i be safe to assume that my broken hose should be attached to this outlet?? and i just need to replace my broken bit?? Photos attached, photo of me holding hose it above the back of the motor, the unattached outlet is mounted on the passenger strut tower behind power steering fluid bottle. Fix is urgent as the missus needs the car to go to wedding appointments on Tues, using it is her only option, and with mechanics etc. not open tomorrow, i am turning to everyone for help. Please

exactly the same as mine, location and same controller

just to let you guys know, he hasn't seen the car, nor have i spoken to him in a while, i found the sticker on the shock tower and sent him a photo and he said straight away R134a. i just don't know anything bout aircons so thought id post here as well as having a look at what he said.

dragging up an old thread here, but can someone confirm if this is the right gas for a 1999 c34. mine needs to be done and i just want to be sure as my a/c guy asked what's in it.

mines a manual conversion, but i guess it can't hurt to check ay??

Your not alone, unfortunately that doesn't mean i can help. I have a similar problem, only reversing into carparks, mine is only sometimes, and tends to be mostly when i have full right hand lock, once you go forwards again it goes away. for reference my power steering fluid is fine. never have been able to find a reason for it

rear pads in, hopefully gotten rid of the wear issue i have been having, right hand pins/sliders were seized, so relubed that up and seems to be working better now. could actually slide by hand when i was done.

hmmmm might just leave it then and look for slow leaks after a week or so

ok awesome, will have a look at what they've got at supercheap then/might check under dads house first he has jars and tins full of bolts, screws and washers, save myself a dollar haha

quick question guys, previously i have gotten mechanics to do the oil changes on my car as its been in there anyway but i'm gonna do this one by myself. What i would like to know is where to get the crush washer for the sump plug from. Will they have a suitable one at supercheap or is it a genuine nissan design that only they sell at rediculous prices??
