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!!

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
