hahaha yeah KINDA... except no turbo :P

i gave up on the lawn mower. we decided to get someone to do the lawns on our properties.

mr 32 that sounds good to me mate, bring it past whenever you like, my number is 0422 299 414.. give me a buzz and we'll organise a time that suits you.

ive kind've tuned it, but now when it turns off after the tank runs out it doesnt turn back on unless i give it a break.. is that normal?

it still runs hella rich though.

Nopers.. should be able to start it straight away. If anything, it should be EASIER to start than when it's cold.

I'd guess that your overfuelling is flooding it when it switches off? Needs to be leaned out in any case from what you describe.

ok just got back from 3 hardwares and a plumming suply store and i couldnt fin pvc anywhere near the size of my buggy rims. so it looks like i will have to duck tapping over the rubber. any other ideas would be good.

and is just the rear tyres or do you change all?

thanks mr 32

try bunnings warehouse on milperra rd.

ive got some 65mm pvc at my place that i use.

thats what i did before i got pvc.

did you try bunnings warehouse plumbing section?

theyve got 1m lengths of different sizes.. i might go buy some more in a different size to see if i can get a better fit.

yeh i went down to bunnings before but i dont know what section i was in, that place is so big now.

thsts a good idea the tighter the fit the better you dont want them to come off mid slide

hehehe!!

Oh... If it's pouring down with rain tomorrow, obviously this will be off. The courts are outside. Otherwise, it's looking good for tomorrow! =-D

You can use www.travelmate.com.au to map from your house to Abott Road in Curl Curl. Use the map-maker option. =-]

Buggy tyres... sometimes it's best to buy PVC that is a fraction SMALLER than the tyre, then squeeze the tyre inside the PVC (while it's still on the rim)

If you want to mount directly to the rim, use electrical tape and wrap the rim until you can just *barely* squeeze the PVC on. Keep the tape tight all the time, and count how many complete revolutions you do... this makes it quicker for the proceeding rims.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
