:D First off I live in America...California to be exact, and when graduated in '05 I set off on my mission to get my old VG30 taken out of my Z for the infamous RB26. Well, a year and a few months later my dream had become true but unsuccessful. True because I got the swap done but about an hr. and a half after picking up my car from (Garage Works Ltd.) the business in Palmdale Ca. that did the swap for me I blew a head gasket due to overboosting (detonation). Well, worst part about it is that the money I used to do it was my college money and I figured I would have a running car so I could just work 2 pay for my classes...Yup, I am working, and going to school ...but no car. Basically I am asking for N E 1's help, whoever is willing. This swap was a dream come true 2 me that ended up turning into a nightmare...my parents don't even want me putting anymore money into the car but I think about it EVERYDAY!! (since '06)...it's '08. If there is N E thing N E one could do to help me it would be greatly appreciated, more than ever will be known. Even an idea of how to get it worked on, I just really hate having to look at my car sitting on the side of my dad's house. If someone does decide to try and help me my e-mail is ([email protected]) and I do have pics of my car how it is now if someone wanted to see proof before helping, and I do know what is wrong and needed.

Thanx Very Much

Mike

Hoping your not asking for cash, everyone works just as hard for their money as you do, and nothing in life is free.

But anyway as was already said why dont you take the head off and check whats wrong? Your not using the car anyway so it's not going to hurt if you start taking parts off.

Or even easier, sell the car and buy a sh!tter.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
