enjoy

but some really bad stuff happened. :D the shock is still sinking in

went into this carpark at glenny station and connected to it is another car park. looking straight on it looked flat, BUT it was infact slanted like a hill and i didn't see it. End result cracked front bar already. Pretty bad, i'm quite depressed about it being first day and all. The front is too low, it scrapes too much, even in driveways, its about 12.5cms off the ground. sigh is there anyway i can get this without changing the springs.

i can handle the damage and live with it, but i just dunno how to explain it to my mum. If you look in the pics you can see the two cracks in the middle, even the right indicator fell off.

how much would it cost to repair something like this.?

thanks:o

heheh, welcome to the world of aftermarket frontbar meet driveway humps tragedy!

12.5cms not too bad, you just need to drive more carefully and not to trust any driveway/carpark entrances.

if your car's been lowered, best bet is to change spring and raise it back to factory height. I don't see any other way, except you have an aftermarket height adjustible coilover suspensions.

Can't wait inark, but still gotta settle some minor details first like insurance and then I'll be all set

Why are u scared of ur parents seeing the cracks?

Yes of course! they barely let me get the car you know!

hehe actually I didn't pay for it, he said he would change it for me for free but i guess he didn't have any left, but damn my wheels are shocking, gotta repaint them.

Hey Chopobo, were you at glenny tonight, i thought i saw a r33 like yours parked in front of the chinese restaurant at the bus stop???

yeap that was most likely me in front of that chinese restaurant near lucky cup. i left when this woman gave me a greasy look. very uncomfortable. im not going there again.

Nice car chop.. you can try weilding your crack then a respray..

eh? how do you weld plastic?

i dun think i can do it myself. prolly get someone to do it. how much would it cost?

is it cheaper jus changing the whole front bar?

chop first time i took my car home from the importer i couldnt even get it up my driveway no matter what angles i tried, and yes i ***ing cracked the front of my 400r bar on the first day 2. My car was so farking low the front bar used to touch on speed humps even if i went fully sideways on em, i had to leave my car at my gfriends house for the first 2 days i had it. I ended up going back to the importer and changing the springs, now it just touches a little on the way out of my driveway.

U live preety close to me hope to see u on princess highway so we can have a run :P

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
