heheh u had fub with it last night!!! will try to post some pics later on. BTW wheres the damn height adjuster for the headlights located at?

Edited by stasis

As you all know i got the car today. I noticed the put on the rims back to front. So i took it to a tyre place for an alignment after the wheels have been swapped from front to back. The camber on the passenger side was way off compared to the drivers side. funnu they couldnt match the camber for both sides they came very close though. I think onedrivers side is 1.75 and the other is1.25 or something. What should the setting be. The car is sitting 350mm front and back from center wheel to the arches.

second thing have you guys heard of a suspension called JECS? cos thats what it is on the car noe and thats all i can make out from.

couple of other issues ocasinally the car will auto lick itself (doors)

Keyless entry works find but cannot disable the larm. after opening the doors via key or remote and i dont put in the key to the ignition the alarms go off. So probably i need a wiriing diag. (anybody knows where i can get one? originals of course if i can).

other than that its find. Ben from Race pace inspected the car and everything seems to be allrtie . Had the car on the hoist and everything. other than that everything is allrtie at the moment.

my opinion, get rid of whatever dodgy alarm is in and get a decent one installed. auto lock is usually because you disarm the car but don't open the door, it assume it was a mistake and locks again.

yea i know but this one got a paging system to it. probably i will leave it ad it is first other than that it wirks fine the alarm works fine.

another thing i forgot that its got a turbo timer in it as well. but sometimes it works sometimes dont. o dpmt knw wheter it works on the oil temp or not. might have to get an autp elec to check it out.

my father is an auto electrician, they have people coming in all the time with dodgy alarms, they usually end up leaving with massive bills, so you are probably better off just putting up with it or getting a new one installed

yea probably i will put up with it first its not a main priority.

ok i was just wondering does the 260rs suppose to have a switch that controls 2wd or 4wd? Also are they suppose to have the head light height adjustments? cos mine doesnt have any of them.

Isn't the headlight adjustment thing just a little screw and you use a phillips??

tighten it and the headlights shine down, loosen it and they shine upwards??

S2's with xenon headlights actually have (might have been optional not sure) an electrical headlight adjustment, so you can adjust them up and down, something to do with carrying extra weight, and because the xenons are so bright, you can adjust them down.

the only adjustment you can make to the torque split is a button located to the left of the steering wheel just above the handbrake on the rs4 so maybe look in the same place on your 260 although your handbrake isnt there its in the centre console

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
