Does it still do it constantly? Most cars run rough after a while if they havent been used. If the problem is constant, then there is a problem. Try doing an ECU diagnostic on it, see what the problem is. I cant see how its the Coolant Temperature Sensor, that just controls the temperature gauge!!

GeeTR, play nicely!!

Rhys, fair nuff sozzles :D

Sam a good start though for a SR20 in a Silvia issue.. would be the NissanSilvia.com forums; with the lack of more info, I did think u was taking the piss ;)

Does it only play up when you start the thing? Does it show any rudeness at all when driving? Is it only when cold / hot? Stock fuel pump?

BOV - how do you know your BOV is staying shut? Do you mean so when your driving, or again.. when idling after starting it? More info, gets more help :P

only had the car a couple of months aswel

cheers for ur help anyway

much appreciated

Thats generally what happens when you buy used!! We've got a Holden WB Statsman HDT at work, needs $2500 work done on it!! Thats the first one, the owner has another exactly the same needs the same amount of work. When we called the customer to let him know, his answer was... ... ... ... ... "...Is that all...?" Wish I had that much money!! Good luck getting it all fixed though

yeh its pretty crap int it... wish i had the money 2!

got the list today not happy at all... who ever did these mods must of been brain dead... theyv used a heater hose for the turbo drain hose n its got a massive kink in it n thats jus the beginnin...

ill need all the luck i can get!

good luck wi urs m8

You'll get that alot. People will try to modify their cars, but have no idea what they are doing. For example, they think all rubber hosing can be used for fuel...

At work we had a Mustang come in, and the owner had blocked off the heater core with a Sidcrome 75mm 1/2 in extention bar. And a Holden WB Stateman has a vaccume line leak fixed with a nail. WTF? Try to think out all your modifications, and do them with a little common sense. It may just save ur life!!

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
    • I had to double check the thread title r34 gtt offset advice lol. Thought maybe i posted on the wrong thread. 😂
