its on the CA damo! anyone got a stock CA18det sump laying around (dale) hehe..

and need urgently a Small FMIC like the jjr one.. dont have the time to wait for it to come!

Get on the phone to jap wreckers!

I had a big dent in my sump on the 32 when I had it, I just put in a bit extra oil till it was just above full on the dip stick - the dent made it look fuller then it was.

lol dude read that and have a think about it...

what did i miss since page 1337? lol

oh, for anyones entertainment tomorrow. want to see what 60 odd army trucks vs anzac highway looks like, come down to keswick barracks about 2 tomorrow arvo. we're MEANT to be turning right when we leave there.............and SAPOL are going to be stopping traffic

should say there'll be many lols

yep tried.. and nothing..

nothing small enough to fit ne ways!

ruby i think 450 is a tad too wide.. ill measure it up again and get back to u!

how much would u want for it?

As for the sump, post a topic in the WTB section on NS.com. I wouldn't pay more than $50 if that, Infact in the post put that you are looking for a CA sump and you are willing to pay $50 that way you will only have to deal with people that are realistic.

As for the intercooler, that is the size that i'm running except mine is 76mm thick;

AJD? Didn't know that was your car. I would've said hi otherwise.

I think I misquoted. Mine might also be 76mm thick. Originally got that size to fill the Dayz bar. But now I have the typeM bar, I needed a bigger cooler to fill it ... so I got a Cooling Pro item :)

Adrian, check your measurements and allow a further 150mm for the end tanks etc on top of the 450mm. If it suits you, I'd be after $120 for the cooler ... its lightly sprayed in satin black btw.

Anyone know how to remove the factory oil pressure switch?

Need to put in a proper gauge for tomorrows track day and the factory unit wont budge!

nvm just worked out that there's a 17mm size nut holding it in on the other side...

good f**king luck getting to it for me though, don't have a long enough spanner nor size 3 Japanese hands to get in there.

hey all need some help! i am about to re insure my car but was reading the fine print saying that all mods must be roadworthy, legal and written on the document, so my power fc which is covered on the document isnt considered legal (is it?) nor is the turbo timer ect ect, so does this mean that i wont b covered?

anyone know what prices i should be paying for new leads and a belt kit for my corolla at all?

changed the spark plugs today and the leads are looking a bit worst for wear and so is one of the belts.

but steve that was thru Just car insurance and i know a sh*t load of people with jap cars thru them with mods like 80 % of people on here, like power fc's ect they say on the forms (new computer/ ecu) which is what they r but then in sa there considered illegal so does that mean that them putting it on there site is just to make people think they will b covered or what?

yeah Chris cant answer that one i would depend on the assessor on the day and all sorts of contributing factors

i was making a point that if they deem that mod to of caused the accident its highly likely they will void your insurance

insurance is like a lottery your dammed if you do and dammed if your dont

just cars seem to pay even if its got illegal mods, i know someone that came off the road on a corner with coil overs, ecu, external fuel pump shit, illegal turbo setup do i need to list the rest of the shit. it still got covered they gave him the agreed 10k i think it was and then sold his wreck.

would depend on how much they in for and circumstances of the crash. if you are completely at fault hit 3 ferrari's and did 100k of damage to gov property i dare say they will try to play the illegal mods card to get out of having to cover you. if you talking just a 8k write off + they can get some back for your wrecked car when they sell it. then its prob in their interest to pay for publicitys sake.

Mate of mine wrote off his R33 in a sidestreet went straight into a curb thing that sticks out (it jumped out at him out of nowhere)... he was with Just Car, no mods listed, write off, he was at fault... he received his payout from them - near $20k.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
