Hi,

My dad drives a Eunos 500, and recently 2 problems have aoccured.

Problem 1 - When you drive over bumps, the front drivers side wheel feels as sounds as if its loose. Also sounds and feels like something is a bit loose. Have checekd nuts, but all tight. COUld it be wheel bearings or something?

Problem 2- The only way i can turn the aircon or fan on is if i press a selector button for where the airs going to come out from, for example the leg, front, or dimister button then air will come out. This will happen even when the fan number is not selected. ANd if i select the fan speed it wont even turn on. ANd to turn off the air i have to turn car off, and then on again. Have checked fuses and are all good. Anyone has ever had any problems like this before?

Cheers

problem 1 could be a few things. Does it make noise when you turn? If it does, it may be the CV joint. if it clunks on a bump/pothole, it may be your shockie. If it makes sound altogether when you drive along, it may be the bearings?

ummmm sort iff in a way, but if u can imagine if your nuts on your wheel is lose and u go over a bump, it sounds more like that.

mate you can't describe a noise by a problem, if you says it sounds like a wheel nut then its a wheel nut, what does it really sound like, short thump, clunk, snap ???

air realsed sound ?

metal on metal, metal on plastic ?

It does not make noise when u turn only makes a clucking noise over a bump or pot hole..any ways i can test suspension to verify if it is or not??????

Push down on the front of the car, and see if it makes a noise. It could be anumber of things, for example, it could be the suspension, or it could be the front bushes (which usually go on skylines)

Checked the bolts, they are all tight, pushing the car up and down does not make no noise at all. Only makes a when goin over bumps...

      Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
