Car Troublez, Post If U Have Any Advice......


Recommended Posts

im in a bit of trouble, atm, i may need sum parts for the r33 gtst. may need front control arms and steering mechanism. after a lose into a ditch.

stupidity prevails, that is why this situation eventuated.

if u have any advice to help plz post, if not, dont bother, with it.

yeah.. hopefully it's not too major.

but kjb_r33 is right, ebay isn't always a bad place to look for skyline miscellaneous parts. I picked up a set of spare lower arms for my r32 the other day for a silly price, just in case.

In this situation you've basically got lower control arms, upper control arms, tie rods, and at worse steering rack that need to be inspected and/or replaced. Each are usually a couple of hundred bucks. As long as you haven't bent the chasis, I wouldn't imagine it costing more than $1000 to replace what needs to be replaced.

yeah well i dontknwo abotu the chassis yet, when i try to drive it forward and back, it makes a terrible scraping sound near the rear brakes.

hey its chris with the 4door white one if you need anything i might be able to help. :D

yeah, i know im gonna be up for a bit. just dont know what yet. waiting on getting it to the mechanics so we can look at it.

You can come down to my workshop and throw it up on the hoist, then we can see what wrong with it.

yeah thanx for that. i wont be able to do anything till saturday anyway, and it wont steer so i cant drive it, has to be towed. il let u know anyway when i decide what to do with it. ok. thanx sam.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
