V was part of the cause of the topic I suspect.

Some say I have a mild case of ADD as I run at about thousand percent as it is, so if I took this stuff I might play squash even more, hassle the wife more, run around the block more, talk faster and get side tracked even more ( no not more says Merli) be impatient and frustrated having to stand in ques and microwaves are too slow, and why my part has NOT arrived that I ordered from UAS.

All in fun.

PS Are you reading this whilst at work in IT sipping on a V or Red Bull, whilst pretending to be doing computer work for the company?? He He.

Hey Carlo glad to see you use your real name even though it is a snazzy name at that. Not common like John. After playing Grand Turismo for real six days a week plus, I drink lots of filtered water actually and small red wine, also lots of soya milk, (yes I can immagine the young and the wrestless saying YUK). I also cuddle my kids work out in my mega home gym, play squash like a maniach or run around the block all in aid of slowing the mind down as super hectic during the day. If you really want to know I evenhave camomile tea to relax. As most small biz owners would know there is nearly always paperwork to do as well. I do love the action and excitement though.

Yeah I dont use an alias when I dont have anything to hide, it makes it easier when you go to a meet and you know what to call people. :rolleyes:

Camomile tea has a certain caffine content, however I do respect its relaxation properties. I often find that gym and exercise would gets my mind working even harder, although it does tire me out giving me at least a few hours decent sleep.

One thing is for sure, energy drinks like V dont really get me hyped as such. It is a energy boost, which I often need with only a few hours sleep a night. When working through the night nothing goes down better than a V four pack.

Hey Carolo I thought you might have been a closet V drinker, you have that intensity in motion look about you, and change gears at the track with pizzazz.

Re the bonnets silver? They are carbon and dark type carbon weave.

Re Cafene they say it stays in the system for days.

They also say if the turbin head radicals wanted to wipe out 90% of Australians within 24hours they would lace Coke ( black acid) and V drinks. I would survive easily, unless they put subliminal messages on Fleetwood Mack CD's Suggesting killing yourself.

Oh maybe they did not think of this. Save yourself stop putting V's down your throttle body as now they may do it. Sorry.

Pizzazz... Hell yeah! :P Now I just need to need purchase a nice set of tyres and work on turn 2 & EC. If I can do that with a similar about of style I will be a happy camper.

Yes, I drink alot of coke. It is like a smoking addiction (not that I smoke), but when I am stressed (which is quite alot in my job) I drink coke. I gave it up but had migranes, so I went back on it. It may not be a good thing, but its my only poor diet habit (other than Chocolate Mud Cake).

Its a shame we live in a world where someone could potentially want to harm so many innocent people, especially for some of the reasons which come to the light post these events. Still definatly not a reason to stop indulging in the small pleasures in life.

When it comes to Fleetwood Mack I am at a loss. It is not a genre I listen to. If you wanted to talk Ian Durey or Queen (which was more 70's & 80's) then I am all ears.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
