HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone out there know how to install a HID Kit into my s13 its a xenon brand (i think thats how its spelt)

and also, I'm wanting to get my rear traction arms installed too :cheers:

thanks!

Anyone???? :D

Anyone???? :D

there is a howto guide on the forums here somewhere. basically you connect the hid transformer to the pwer source on the light circuit, mount the transformer somewhere safe and then run wires back to your existing headlight pods. takes a few hours, longer if you dont know how to remove and remount lights

or you could take it to an auto electrician and get them to do it

-D

i took mine to auto perfection was done in 1 hr :D

its stored down south where i live so auto perfection is too far :cheers:

and its pretty much a rego'd track car so i dont want to drive it much on the roads if i can help it :banana: cops wouldnt be to friendly towards it haha

im not to keen on touching the electrics but i might have to drive it down somewhere.

anyone recomend a auto electriction down south? somewhere near mclaren vale/seaford/noarlunga/christies area?

thanks

i got a gtr power fc on my r33 and was wondering does anyone have a gtst one they would want to swap, the likely hood of there being sumone is pretty low but just thought id ask lol

whats it run like with the gtr fc fitted?

madaz told me it wasnt idleing properly did you try diffrent lag timeing?

Kye, MattyT knows one from down south who's also a mobile service......PM him

And from all accounts he charges through the ass for f**k all work. :)

Apparently his dad @ The workshop is the man to see. Cant remember what the name of the company was though.... Ill send him an SMS and find out.

Anyone???? :P

As for the traction arms.... jack car up on stands, unbolt, remove arm, adjust new arm to same length of factory arm, replace in reverse order, get wheel alignment.

That's not hard at all, Today Ive installed my HICAS lock bar, Rear camber arms, alloy cradle locking collars, solid diff mounts, Kazama tension rods, steering rack spacers and a solid steering bush. Most of the shit goes back in the same way the factory shit came out.

Curious as to why you bought traction arms though?

hey guys does anyone know how to adjust the steering wheel on an R32???

i got my boost gauge put in the other day and they had to take the panel where the headlights switch is off coz of where i wanted the gauge and they must of adjusted the steering wheel coz it sits too low now and i cant see the top of my speedo and rev meter as its now too low.

i know you can make the steering wheel go in and out but that doesnt help i need it to go up more..

can anyone help me???

There is one in willunga, directly opposite to the CFS. Sapphiregraphics seems pretty knowledgeable, he may be able to give you a hand, im thinking of getting a Xenon light kit for my R33 soon, so i would mind having a look either or lending a hand on my day off.

Wouldnt he need traction arms to adjust the bump steer on the rear?

Rear bumpsteer would be controlled by adjusting the roll centre more than anything.

Traction rods allow adjustment to how much toe is given to the rear wheel under suspension compression.... ie transition after a clutch kick etc. Only other reason is they replace the rubber bushes with rose jointed/spherical joints.

Just curious as traction rods would usually be the last thing to do in a long list of things... Rear camber arms, HICAS removal or rear toe arms if non HICAS, diff mounts/cradle bushes or locking collars/sway bars etc.

hey guys i just thought i might share my experience, on my way driving to shops i spoted my first R35 GTR on hanson road it absolutely looks awsome in real life, and sounds f****n unreal nothing like the old RB engines totaly different sound i took this photo out of my old mans car, if i had my car i wouldve tried and give it a go and c how much i loose by lol heres the photo, I WANT ONEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers for that. I just got Ikeya formula ones myself, awesomely made and very tough, but thinking of changing to cusco as they have the dust covers. Will go Ikeya Lower control arms later, but don't really know anyone in adelaide who has the knowledge to adjust the roll centre correctly.

hey guys, im helping my sis look for a new daily...

preferably a sedan/wagon. approx, good on petty $2k

anyone know of anything going ??

cheers

i think kietz has a 31 for sale. if i had the $2k i woulda bought it

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
