nope, but you buy it, swap all the good gear into an road registerable one, and robert is your mother's brother

still left with a useless car...would rather do that with a tough rx7 or something...the mx5 is a hairdressers car...we've established that at great length already....see the mike thread as reference.

while it may have the image of a hairdresser's car, they're light, nimble, and would outhandle pretty much any skyline out there, even when in close to stock form....

not saying i like them, as they're underpowered, but they're not bad

depends if

A) I can use it for free.

and

B) how long for.

well put it this way, i went out tehre on sat, got there at 10, left at about 2...but we could have it all day if we wanted...my mates the head mechanic of the workshop :P

what u want to do?

can we get a 1j conversion done in a day??? lol How good is this mechanic?

he's good, but i doubt he'd want to do that lol

Out of interest sake, yeah.

ok rang him then. he said to ask u if u had ALL the necessary parts to do it in a weekend, as it needs to be out of the workshop by monday. also he doesnt really want to do it, as it's a pretty big job.

No.

Worst case I put it on the trailer. Right now, I’m just researching. Thanks for finding out though..

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
