hey guys ive been noticing a jolt in my S2 stag over the last week or so.. it only happenes between about 4500 to 5200 rpm, it feals like its jumping between boosts mayb :S but ive earthed that wire so it should be a constant 8psi right?? the engin revs in nuteral fine so its getting the power from the engin to the floor.. i had a space saver on for about 350 kms, sounda bad i no but i just couldnt afford a tyer at that time (petty, loan etc etc :D....) it deff happenes in 1st and 2nd (its auto btw) tryed going for a launch yeterday b4 work but couldnt get a good bit of road to try if its happening in 3rd or 4th haha.

my guess is its either a sus connection where i earthed it.

4wd system or the gear box :S but that pretty much duznt count ne thing out..

thanx guys :D

search R&R or "rich and retard"

i had a look at the timing the other day and it came up as 15... i hooked the clamp on the timing light up to a wire at the back of the engin bay (pretty sure it was yellow) but i heard that reads double :S duz this mean im heaps out?? i have a sticker on the fire wall that says the timing is 15 at 650 rpm and yes the air con was off. also i tryed just reving it out with out having my foot to the floor and it didnt seem to do it :S it was my own street so had to chill :D but still

no some lights read double but not all (most super cheap ones :D ). if you got 15 it is probably right.

yeh it was a supercheep one but i cant emagin it would b exactly out by half :S and that silver thing (duno what its called :)) that changes the timing is lined up with heaps of white out marks :S semi keen just to get all the packs, spark plugs etc done as its probly time b4 i spend it on other stupid shit :P

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
