miiiiiiitch avcr is runnin sweet now its right on the money :-)

Wiiiiiill..... sounds good man, dont think ive been for a ride in your car yet, youll have to take me for a spin, and work something out with those wheels haha :)

I had a rather enlightening morning...went go pick up breakfast this morning from macca's and as per normal there is usually a police car there picking up there morning breakfast as well...in this case there was one and another turned up after i had parked. the two in the store walked out and started talking to the two guys who had just turned up. Anyway while this was happening i got out of my car and went to walk inside when the female police officer looked at me and asked me if that was my skyline, i politely said yes and then she informed me that apparently turbo timers become defects once you have walked away from your car. So you are allowed to stand next to your car while the timer runs out or you must disable it, otherwise you are able to get a defect. anyway staying polite i said i didnt know and ill make sure to stay next to my car next time and thanked her for the advice, and wished her a good day.

did anyone else know this? i thought it was rather a bizarre defect..

Yeah, the police officer is 100% correct. Usually when you buy a turbo timer you research these kind of things. Just take it as a "Learn as you go" kinda thing. You cant know it all, so don't be down on yourself. - Straight from the horses mouth i reckon!

Was the Macca's good? mcdonalds-funny-pic.jpg

Oh....and one more tip...."Drive Thru" - Allot easier and avoids these types of defects. - Just sharing the experience around. Although i had to stop using it when the car was too low...you wont have that problem...sits like a 4x4 :thumbsup:

Hows Noosa looking today? Was thinking about a surf aye....good weather for it?

Yeah I knew bout this one too, it's pretty stupid if you ask me, but that's the rules!!
yeh i never bought my timer it came with the car and i cant edit it with teh controls like you can so i never know how long its going to run for. But i mean how can you hand out a defect for something thats only defectable under certain reasons. It is not like with a bov set to atomspheric you can just plumb back. The only way to fix this defect is to stand next to your car or turn it off. Ah well cheers jase.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
