Mod's there has been an increase unrelated threads been started in the "Cefiros and other RB powered sedans" section. Many of which should of been in general maintence or forced induction/ NA areas etc.

Only way many of the regulars in the ceffy and 4 door section think we can stop this is either getting some more active mods in the section or possible changing the name of the section to "Cefiros and other 4 door related discussion" or "Cefiros and Jap Taxi talk" etc. seems too many are getting confused with the RB powered sedans part of the title (and when viewed on the forum index its towards the top of the page, hence probally the spontanous posting of alot of newbies in the section)

example are (just ones that i quickly noted on the first page....):

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=121049

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=120676 (has some comments on the issue in it...regarding section name change)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=120185

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=120054 (Which was eventually moved and edited by a mod)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=119291

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=111613

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=115186

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=117973 (Thread discussing the problems we have been having)

Can one of the web admins possibly help us in changing the title of the section, helping us with some more active mods or some other option?

Cheers

Ben

actually... since both narkeh and someonestolecc both stepped down from moderating the section, there's only me to look after it.

Can I have some volunteers for 2 new mods to look after the section? (Obviously you have to be a reg in the Jap Taxi section to apply). Also I'll probably change the section name to "Cefiros Australia" and point the domain name www.cefirosaustralia.com to it soon.

sounds good funkymonkey. Though changing name to section name to "Cefiro's Australia" might be disregarding other 4 doors don't u think, or will it be assumed that they post in the same section?

sweet never knew cefirosaustralia.com was a registered domain, will have to get some stickers made up for that. :)

well when I made the section I assumed Cefiros and other RB Powered Sedan's might be clear enough to stop non 4 door owners from posting there.

just guesstimating... 80% of the guys in there own ceffies and 15% own 4 door R32's. the rest are a scattering of Laurels and Cimas. (No Gloria or cedric owners yet methinks).

Maybe renaming it to "Cefiro's and other Taxi's" as suggested or something like that might help.

dangerous_daveo has been made the new mod for this section. Also the section and its description have been altered.

Each section can have up to 3 moderators, so I will add another mod in due time.

The Cefiros and other RB powered sedans section has been great..But as a R33 4 door owner and i think i speak for other Skyline sedan people 32s and 34s we are growing in numbers. A seperate Skyline sedan section or subforum woulb be fantastic. Would this be posible. as you are thinking of changing the sections around....

Its hard to justify a seperate section for just 4 door variants of skylines... I mean a vast majority of the car is the same as a coupe. Stageas and Cefiros are completely different models, so seperate sections for them are somewhat justified.

That said, the reason I originally named the section Cefiro and RB Powered Sedans was so that 4 door Skyline owners had somewhere to post about bodykits that were unique to them and about this newfangled thing called rear doors and windows.

I guess with the new naming of the section we just have to hope that 4 door skyline owners identify themselves as owners of a Taxi :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
