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.

True, Ikeya arms are as tough as nails. Far surpass the factory gear. I have standard traction arms in the S14 and also in the 31. (Have 33 GTS-T cradle going in)

As for adjusting the roll centre.... it's not a case of something someone can do, the arms themselve have a roll centre adjuster built into them, which brings the roll centre back up to near where is should be. I dont have them in the S14, probably wont get them. My roll centres are through the earths core, yet it seems to drift fine. Nothing internally combusts or the earth stops turning LOL. I may put them in the front at some stage as my LCA's look like they're at a 45 deg. upward angle lol......

What you said is more correct talking about traction rods.... not too many people have the knowledge to set them correctly. I may get some later on, but a very low priority on my list of things to do.

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

underneath the steering wheel where you pulled down the latch thing to make it go in and out there will be another one just next to it to move the steering wheel up and down

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

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.

bingo, i got charged a buttload to do not a lot (and the job only ended up half done on my trailer as it was), they used to be good but i would only recommend them if i knew the dad was going to do the work

kye, its not really that hard mate, but if ya want some help, get in contact with pete (marv). he'd be able to help ya out im sure, and he's only over at pt noarlunga. enough bribery with spirits would get him over to ya

id offer to help but wouldnt be able to do it for a couple of weekends

having bbq at my place today for aussie day, if your bored and want to come round hit me up with an sms or a pm if you dont have my number, i'm up near modbury/ingle farm.

Ofcourse it was on there behalf, were all the reason's why ppl have car crashes and that on the road, so chowing there doing something about it makes them look a whole lot better for doing nothing

omg the lights on the intersection of brighton rd and jetty road brighton are WAY out of wack

was in my mates car, we had a green arrow to turn right off jetty rd onto brighton rd, so natrally we went... but a massive truck came steeming up behind us with more wheels locked than i care to count.

went back there and watched the patterns, and sure enough, there was a green light for the traffic to keep going on brighton road, while it was showing a green arrow for ppl to turn off jetty road and onto brighton :S :S

my mate reported the fault... hopoefully no one got in an accident.... we were lucky

was it because you drive a skyline Carl that you see all traffic lights as green :P

do it Damo :D

lol, was in an 13bt RX4... i was the frightened passenger, with my a$$hole puckering like a blind knife throwers assistant

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
