LOL 4 seasons in one day kind of shit eh? :P

Speaking of which, FK OFF RAIN! I wanna use my day off for something constructive and do some more work to the 32 but noooooo, it has to keep raining doesn't it :P

haha yeah. im in the same boat, just had to DRIVE across the road to the mechanics to get a new battery, cos its too goddamn wet to walk.

Just bought another daily for work thanks to Google for exposing our work cars, lol.......you can even read the number plate that I've now blanked out, hahaha

So might keep this one for a run around or sell it if anyone's interested

pfffft....i hate joy riders.....

got a phone call today, someone found out my car was for sale, by word of mouth from someone on here.

i finished work early to make it home to meet him at 2.30

he looked at it, pointed out all the things the cops will defect it for, i was like, no shit! dickhead...

he asked why the radiator was hanging out, i said, ahhh....thats the intercooler champ......

any way, he insisted we go for a test drive, i take it easy for a while to let it warm up a little,

and he goes ''is that it?, its not fast at all''.....by this stage i was ready to tell him to f**k off and not worry about it.

but i kept my cool, and let him behind the wheel, BIG MISTAKE!

when its wet, we take it easy.....right?.....not this idiot...

i had it on low boost, and he still managed to loop it round on the newton rd/ gorge rd intersection!

that is the scaredest i have been in my life!

not for my safety, but for my car!

i told him to get out and i drove home.

where he insulted me by saying "its not what i expected''

it looks a bit ''ricerish'' for my liking......... :P

so i said no worries, its better off staying with me, and said good bye. :P

Well what a dickhead, that is just stupidity. He doesn't deserve to drive an import after stupid behaviour like that, i would be ashamed to be his friend if i was the one who told him about it.

I've had the inverse happen to me :P

I was keen on some blokes silvia, went and took it for a little drive around the block with him (it was down near lonsdale) and he's like oi go and snap second up this road, it slides pretty well for near stock :P

Meh it's a silvia man, they're all thrashed pieces of crap :P

What do you think I was buying it for anyway :P

As a side note, I do take it very easy when driving anyone elses car, but hearing that from someone selling a car was pretty funny

    • 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.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
