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 =)

    • 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.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
