i know helping out a fellow club member or interested buyer here on the forums for stock parts is a nice thing to do and a good idea, but make sure u got triples of them parts and teh money to pay for labour just in case u get defected and u need old shit in and new shit out and vice versa. 2 cars would be ideal but not all of us have xxxx amount of cash to buy 2 of the same car and keep 1 stock.... and thats just for bolt on mods.

i think thats a good idea not changing every thing and you never know they might pass some of those things you didnt change

Whats the All reports to be from reputable dealer qualified Mech.. Sounds like engrish. :domokun:

Did you question the abs control function?

They really must have gone over it with a fine tooth comb to pick up the exh. manifold stud UNLESS its can be easily heard.

So whats this about the reports etc? Does that mean a mechanic can supply a report and they dont check *doubt* or?

yeah, i told him it doesent have abs and he looked at me (its quite obvious) i think he was referring to the sensor i have questioned to you guys before located at the front nose of the diff.

well my father is a mechaninc and thinks he knows people that could state it in reports. also i know a few people.

he told me i need a charcoal cannister fitted, i said yes, its fitted it disposes of fuel vapors and then showed him were it was and the lines, he still said i needed it checked.

there is no leaks from the manifold, have organised a hi flow from slide for her, was planning on doing the studs then, but i think ill have to doubble handle as a hi flow would screw with emissions even with stock ecu.

he also questioned the boost solionoid i explained it to him, but then thaught it was best for someone to check it out.

yeah, i think as long as i have a report its ok.. i hope i find a decent mech and it easy and cheap.

A highflow won't screw with emissions as they don't test them at wot, only idle, cruise etc when its off boost.

If anything the only thing it will screw with is making the car louder.

But really.. what are these amature knob heads inspecting cars for when they have NFI what they are on about...

I can't see why you need things like the Hicas to be re-fitted. Did your car have it? As long as the suspension is properly aligned it's perfectly safe & just like 99.9% of all other cars out there that have no rear steering system. What a joke.

As far as the boot wing goes I think I may know what's wrong. I fixed my own, it turned out to be a current limiting resistor that was on the +ve input just near the where the wires feed in. It gets moisture in through the seal & corrodes the resistor till it no longer works. I pulled it open using a hair dryer to help separate it (though a heat gun would have been better) changed the resistor & sealed it back up again with clear silicon as well as the wire seal to stop it leaking again. Wouldn't know I'd touched it.

Could probably give you a hand with yours if you like, there's bugger all to them. It's a bit fiddley but worth the effort.

I believe there were some they didn't come with hicas as there is a powersteer pump available without hicas.

Most likely the n/a base model.

I'm probably wrong though as I don't know for sure.. Just something I vaguely remember.

this is correct

sux to hear how much they reemed you jase! g/l with getting it all fixed and fingers crossed it doesn't cost you your left testicle!

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
