guys, you are going to laugh at this :P

Anyway, I was replacing my bulb which blew and the bulb snapped off and fell back into the low beam area of my front lamp.

Have a look at the picture. See the thing in red? that's the old bulb.. It's fallen into the enclosure.

Seriously,Does anyone know how to take that broken bulb out of that area?

ta!

Piece of Blu-tac on the end of an opened-out (wire) coathanger fed through the globe fitting hole.

You are a genius!! thank you !! I will try tonight when i get home from work. I tried using a straw but it can't bend..

thought abt blue tack but blue tack only works IF u were to hold 2 pieces together-then it will stick . Else it does not... anymore ideas??

You are a genius!! thank you !!

Stop, you're embarrassing me :)

If Blu-tac doesn't work, something like chewing gum, or maybe dollop of fresh (un-cured) silastic on the wire.

    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol 
    • Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.
    • The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.
    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.  
    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
