hi all

as ive found out everyone here pretty much knows everythin bout these cars lol but ive had mine for just about 2 weeks and there seems to be sum little problems that are really getting to me and im finding new one nearly everyday

i have a feeling most of these are wiring problem but maybe sum of you have come across this stuff

ok first one is i have an apexi turbo timer.. and when i turn my car off and the turbo timer starts counting down at about 1.34 the car starts beeping and hazard lights flash assif an alarm has been enabled one thing is i have no friggen alarm.

2nd one is just today when i was going into the car wash the car just started going mental as in when i swithed it off and turbo timer came on the hazards and every light on the dash started flashing and the car was shaking heard of this but onc ei turned the turbo timer off the car didnt do it.

3rd one is when i turn right SOMETIMES my horn goes off for no reason i dont press it but it just beeps for a quick second but only when i am turning sharp right.

4th one is just noticed this tonight, since the turbo timer has been off from this afternoon, my steering wheel has started clunking like if you are for example driving through a maccas drive thru with a few bends and you have to turn the steering wheel pretty sharply it clicks assif its locking but unlocking right away really weird.

and lucky last this is prob an general problem my kenwood dvd player when the music is too loud it just turns itself off and then turns itself back on.

i keep thinkin i need an exorcist clear the problem of this possed mofo... i will be ringing the ex owner tomorrow because byt the look of it there has been some shit wiring done

thank you very much in advance guy i would really appreciate some help/advice on what to do...im guessing getting rid of the turbo timer

thanks :)

Jay

I'd definitely get rid of the timer Jay, it sounds like more trouble than its worth.

An auto electrician having a look at the electrics wouldnt hurt either, just to get a better opinion

yeah get rid of the tt, they are a nusence and there crap anyway.... all they do is expose the wires you need to hot wire the car, makes it too easy for the car thieves....

i got mine buit into my alarm system, dont have to worry about exposed wires, insurance voiding pay out if its stolen, wont get defected for it.....

A couple of things.

Stay away from sydney - Get an alarm if your already here. Get one with a turbo timer built in! Alot of skylines go missing, please listen to this advice.

The horn is due to it grounding when you turn, you need to take the wheel off to fix it. The clicking may be related.

Get a pro to do the horn if you have an airbag attached.

Sound system has protection mode, this means it has in built amp and turns off to avoid frying speakers (if amp cant power them they melt) or secondly to avoid frying itself. This is often related to air flow so tie up the cables behind it, obviously it may be over heating

Cheers

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
