Hey all,

Just a quick update... All the interior parts are back in the car with a new ignition barrell etc, many thanks to Edwin_Skyline for letting me rip apart his interior!! :blush:

Quick question though... Accessories are working and pretty much all the norm however the car still wont start, it looks like a fuse has been blown as I ripped out the computer and all looks fine there. Does anyone know if there is a common fuse that blows if someone tries to hotwire your car? Thanks

Hi all...

Well the car is all fixed, it's back on the road with avengance!! The issue was a blown ignition fuse right up in the boot where the battery is!! So here's a funny little equation much like the mastercard ads lol:

Purchase interior parts off wrecking R33 and ignition barrel- $150

Print out 491 page Nissan workshop manual from workplace- $0

Purchase new ignition fuse- $10

Have your boyfriend who is an electrician re-wire & solder- $0

Not paying $2100 in excess for making a claim on your insurance.... PRICELESS!! :(:D

Through the passenger's side window, they used a flat head screw driver to pop the window out of the seal and pulled it out a little, slid their hand in and unlock the door.

All I had to do was re-sit the window in the frame and it closes snugly again.

I remember reading a thread about r33's and some door lock you should disable.

should definatly check it out hey.

haha i should not be telling you this, but i have hot wired my door handles to give people a zap when my car is armed. you should think of the same. BUT, the downside is, if they are quite stupid and hold onto the handes, it WILL drain the battery but it still does take awhile. its like being stung by a megger at 500V, your boyfriend should know what i mean.

Hey, that fully sux, sorry to hear!!

BUT

coming from someone who is PARANIOD about people doing this to my car, plus the fact that I cant afford s&*t if I had to fix anything, I had Quick Track installed the second my car landed, it gives me piece of mind for a $1 a day, I park it anywhere and feel safe, best money ever spent if you ask me!!

At the moment Quick Track are in the process of being bought out by another company, which have yet to contact me, but I will definatly continue with their services, if you want any more info or just some examples of how it has worked for me in the past PM me anythime!!

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
