sounds like a worn bussh somehere. Go to pedders and get a $14 28 point safety check, that is the best way to pick up problems. After that you can do all the work yourself.

There are a few bushes there, so maybe take the wheel off and have a good look arround. Maybe a ball joint on the lock out bar.

dont do this unless u want a list back of 100's of unnecessary shit "that needs replacing" at some ridiculous price. take it to a reputable suspension place that deals with imports.

nIsMo86, you mean this bush?

Am looking high and low for it. You know where I can source it?

Yep thats the one. Its called a hicas tie rod end. Its not a bush, its a ball joint. You'll prob have to call nissan or get one second hand. There could an aftermarket option also. I havent looked for hicas tie rod ends myself as i havent needed them. If you're in sydney, try Natetune. His number is 0403099461. He may be able to help you. Tell him Hamish told you to call.

To be 100% that is your problem, get someone to wobble the wheel and you look at the joint. If you see movement, then thats your prob! It will most likely be the problem as its common on all cars with age.

Hope that helps, Good luck!

nIsMo86, yes am looking for the hicas tie rod end ball joint. Unfortunatly I am not located in Australia. Are there anyone that can source for it and post it overseas?

I have seen the movement at the ball joint myself so yes it must be the problem. I have also heard minute intermittent clicks when the car travel slow on smooth cemented roads (like in carparks). Wonder what that is.......

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
