Il stay away from N1 items herd to many bad storys :cool: I might just stick to a new oem water pump its 200dollers sound good? also what would ppl gofor hks cam shafts(EX 264 9.0mm lift & IN 256 8.8mm lift) or tomei poncams not sure on size atm

IMO I'd go for the Tomei Poncams in kit form with the adj pulleys.

I run stock cams in mine with all other mods done, just to keep good response on the street.

nightcrwler moved that 'wtb auto skyline' pretty quickly

props to you

that'd be the 2nd or 3rd time the 666core fella has done it

lol

man the knees are bad

so sore I mentally cant think....... going to have to sort something out

:D

if anyone has a bus I can step in front of, let me know

cheers

at least your working.

i got told yesterday that i have no job as of friday, by no fault of mine. :D

dude, I dream every night of getting the sack.

if they sack me I can go to centreLink (went in for only time ever over my xmas break to get info - Ive never taken 1c from the Govt.) and get checked out for the partial disability pension (fact is Im no longer fit for full time work), whereas I have to be on unlimited sick leave to be checked out if Im working (and i cant do that to my bosses, there are only 4 of us so that'd be a kick in the nads to the bosses/business IMO), or have to wait 3 months if I quit. after 10yrs here I dont want to have to quit.

sooner rather than later Im going to have to find a balance. wife and myself will work part time (she hasnt worked for over 5yrs now, kids), sell the house and minimise debt, and have a better quality of "living" rather then being in pain 24/7 and not dealing with it (and looking out for buses).

there are plenty of jobs out there for those that want them, only 4 out of 100 ppl who are truely looking have trouble finding what they want, for a few months at least. not a good feeling Im sure, but hang in there and something will come thru for you soon - I have no doubt.

GL with it, chin up and hang in there.

well, heres the story.

i started the job 3 months ago at a (wont name the place), doing a 1 year traineeship through an employment organisation. from the start i was supposed to do off-job training once a week, learning a different module of the course each week. 3 months into the traineeship the employment organisation find out the training place im supposed to do my off job training at doesnt have anyone that can actually do the training, and that is the only place in sa that could do it. so now if i want to get the qualification i should have got here i have to go interstate to get it.

so, monday i get a call and essentially they said "we dont have anyone to do the training, so your last day is on friday".

im going to get a copy of the training contract today, which i do believe will say they must provide me training for the qualification in the time allocated (1 year).

why sign me up for a contract in the first place if they dont have anyone to do the training?

i would say they have breached their contract on more then 1 account, that being not providing what they legally said they would, and giving me 4 days notice.

ive got bills to pay and i cant live on nothing, so they either compensate me or face legal action.

and by the time i go through all centrelinks bullshit i will have a new job, so i really didnt want to go near them.

oh, i also got offered to sign a mutual agreement to terminate my traineeship. i pretty quickly told him to go f**k himself.

    • 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.
    • 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.
