I always behave :)

I've even finished doing my nails.

My cat's annoying me for food. She keeps running in. Meowing at me, smooching then running back to her bowl. It's very cute.

Each time she does i tell her I'll feed her soon. And I'm still sitting here!!

I just got my diff repaired.

It was basically reconditioned. The bearing had ****ed itself. I got a new bearing and relapped the crown and pinion. SO yeah..

Gavin (my mechanic) couldn't find a diff anywhere.

Heaps of people were just saying "go to a wreckers and buy a skyline diff". I kept saying "It's not that simple. I dont know what electrics would stuff up if I just put a normal diff in"

Ended up costing $1097. That was my intercooler money. But I decided that safety was more important than going faster.

With your diff.. If you start hearing a clicking/tapping noise coming from the back, then that noise goes away, then it turns into a wurring noise that starts at a certain speed (mine started at 110km and got worse) .....(cat's back again)

Anyway, yeah, that's when its bad. It was starting to make the noise at around 40kmp/h when I finally took it to the mechanic. It had also blown a seal before this and was leaking.

Admitadly it does sound like road noise and I thought this was the case cause I've got 255/40/17 profile tyres (there huge!) and so did my mechanic. But yeah, it wasn't.

And no, I don't have a FMIC.. I can't afford it atm. And my insurance doesn't allow it right now :)

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
