Hey all, got out of work today and what do i find my door handle jammed up(the whole thing) and my lock destroyed. Thank god the little bastards didn't even get into the car but it is going to be a pain in the arse to replace/fix. If i came accross them i swear i would rip off there nuts and make them watch me grind them into mince meat.

Now i have that off my chest is there any place in adelaide that would be a start to look for new one? price?post-15951-1159963160.jpg

Sorry to hear about it! You'd be surprised what a crash repairer could do with that .... I had my S15 fixed (had 50% the damage of yours) including respray door for $350. I would ask at Nissan dealers for the actual door handle and lock - should be easy to get (mine was fixable). Expect about $200 for handle and lock I would think.

Thanx guys, i will go see one of my dad's friends tomorrow before work see what he thinks at least you have given me a little hope that it might not be too bad. i'm also going to see if there is video on the carpark. i did find it funny that they hurt themselves in the process and left disgusting blood on my car.

^^^ I'm hearing ya, they touch ma car and i'll touch them! Also another reason to have a daily....... while my line is locked up under a car cover! working arvo shift in Plympton isn't the best place to be driving my car, espesially when i went out for 5 mins a few months back and noticed when i came back there was a car on fire down the end of the road!

    • 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.
