they = useless

"errr.... um.... no, we wouldn't have anything like that, and i don't know where you would find any, bye"

standard "mercury" response

also, justjap wreckers at slacks creek might be able to help you there

might have a hit at importbitz at virginia... they have 2 hicas racks sitting there apparently, with the tie rod ends and rack ends still on them....

am going down there in the morning to have a look to see if a) they are from a '32 (as they're different to 33 and 34 i'm led to believe) and b) that they're in use-able condition (i soooo hope they are, or i'll cry)

have tried fulcrum... twice... the first place advised that they have the rack ends in stock - apparently they're "The same as a pulsar" (WTF?) but the tie rod ends would only be available genuine Nissan, and Nissan had NFI what they were talking about as they couldn't understand the diagram on their system.

Then tried Fulcrum Moorooka who told me they had no idea what i was talking about.

fulcrum suspension at capalaba is the best i've delt with, PM me and i'll see if I can pull some strings at work, can at least get fulcrum's part numbers.

I also have a contact at nissan, PM me and i'll give you the details, he won't bullsh*t you around like most!

Just let me know exactly wat ur after and your car details etc...

major setback :)

after picking the parts up yesterday morning and dropping the car off at the workshop around 10am, i was told that it should be ready by around 3pm yesterday afternoon....

i get a call at 3pm saying that they've spent the last 2 hours looking at the car, and they can't figure out how to change the tie rod end balljoints without pulling the whole rear end apart as the old ones have to be pressed out and new ones pressed in.... they're estimating it will be ready by early next week now :)

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head. (me)
    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
