So you just replaced the oil and it has fixed everything? :P

Sweet, that is great

the happy ending was refering to "polishing" =P will pay cash for someone to do it for cheap? :mrt:

and nah, oil didnt fix it. its booked in monday at boostworx. Infact, i think the noise is slowly getting louder and the new oil has quietened the overall noise of the the rest of the car significatly so the tapping REALLY stands out now (you can actually hear it if you stand next to the car with the bonnet down, where as you couldnt before)

its been sugested that its valve clearances and requires a new shim, but i might take it to the meet point befor the cruise on sunday just to get some other opinions.. then again, not too keen on driving it still - despite many people saying it should be fine

also should be getting new brake pads this week!! woot! some brake places are recomending i get my discs machined, not sure if its really needed tho

good to hear evythingis going well with your car =) got pics of front bar, going to wait till its completed/painted first?

Anyone watch Initial D on SBS last night? First time i seen it, and must say, WTF with all the jumping screen shots, and freezing frames LOL. Then again, I've never seen the cartoons either so wouldnt have a clue how it compares to the action scenes in teh cartoon.

Overall, average movie I think, but amusing none the less.

I have photo's of it unpainted but i think i might be putting it in the shed for its unvieling at autosalon this year maybe but still deciding on that one.

You will just have to believe me for now that it looks very nice and for anyone that is interested it is a top Secret front bar made for the GTT not the GTR one.

If you look in the bodykits section on the forums you will find it in the r34 bodykits section.

Hmm I am glad you are getting it checked out.... hope its not to major :mellow:

was never not going to get it checked out, i just want to learn as much as i can, i think its important to get to know your car so that you can properly maintain it. So while i was waiting for some money to come in, i figured try out a few things to see if i could resolve the problem myself =)

i think the Power FC must have been "reset" when it was taken out for compliance, and is probably the cause of the problem =P but it'll be in the hands of experts now

Yep I am the same and learning as I go along :)

I just got my PFC and havent installed it yet, might be doing it tonite..I hope that is the problem and you get it all sorted out and back on the road :D

even if PFC was reset is should go to factory nissan GTR spec's there fore shouldn't cause any drama's

yeah, unless the previous owner was some kinda fruit loop who did crazy stuff?!?!? =P

oh well, miss out on sunday cruise =( but boostworx loving on monday and brake pads arriving shortly =D

probaly try and do some more work on her this weekend, any one down south wnat to help or have a trolley jack etc i can borrow p p p pwease =)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
