Hehe.. it sounds like it's going to be a skyrice australia meeting at Gavin's next week.

My cars down their the whole week (because I can't do down during the week and my b/f can't get time off) so Sinbad (car) is having a sleep over at Aunty Manda's and Uncle Gavins :uh-huh:

well, i got my last service at the new nissan service depot at wooloongabba and i couldnt be happier with it

they were cheap, went way above and beyond (they greased every lock and hinge in the car, i aint never seen that done before)

did an awesome (4) wheel alignment and was still cheap as (as well as they let me know a few things i need to do next time (leaky gasket, missing bonnet rubber))

maybe they cant do all the hitech stuff gavin woods can, but screw driving all the way down the coast every 5000k

ill be back there for my next service for sure (props to woman for finding them)

yeah i was wondering why you added the last comment ;P

dont read qgl much anymore, mainly because its full of shit now and the flamewars dont exist anymore. The funs gone and the nazis reign.

I was going to ring today but rang outta time being sick. But I have to find someone taht can fix the air cond fan in the dash to work again it died and if I get this fmic shortly I would like someone to put it in, as I'm short of time. Mainly just want the odds and ends fixed and the car tuned up and service. I was planning on doing it at the same time,a nd getting it dyno'd and running smooth, just wondering if gavin would be able to do all this, or would I have too take my car to like 10 different car shops?

yeah i read your dash read me, its pretty easy to take apart, but the thing is I dont ahve much time these days. tadoy I wasnt felling 100% so I went out and got some cash and hunted around to see where i could get teh air cond fan checked and working. The turbo timer is just I have weird the wires to the wrong one, optput 2 is on the igition and not the other wire. fix weekend.

intercooler and piping shouldnt be too hard just need grinder, drill and a coping saw/jigsaw. but first have to see what piping i get with the kit. the bar and lights are easy to take off, but its a pirck to get the bar back on.

I restored a hj ute from 3 write offs,a nd painted it, so I do know a bit about handy work. Learnt most of it as a kid at dads work. Just atm Its cheaper for me to get someone else to do it while I earn the dosh, and if its all put together and serviced then tuned and dyno'd I get a car thats got the works done in one go. None of this every weekend drop off and check crap or get it serviced then next week tuned.

Time is the main issue I have, its a problem to get stuff done when 14 hrs of the day your at work, and 12 on the weekends. just been lucky lately to be able to have sundays off beacuse the dollar is up and not much coming tinto australia atm.

yup, time is money.. i wasn't really implying you were lazy ;) just that its not too hard to do if you want to put in the time. The dash took me about 2 days work so i can see why you'd want to do get somebody else to do it if you didn't have the time!

i took the dash out and tried to get the air cond fan working onthe weekend, and i put the turbo timer in, but connected a wrong wire at the key harness, so I ahve to fix that this weekend, just have the timer off till then. the steering wheel was the hardest to realign, took about 20 minutes to get the wheel on perfect. gotta get a plastic horn bit as the one in mine was broken and need a horn.

went to all jap at virgina, $20 for the plastic bit wher ethe door opener is. and thats second hand. just the plastic not the lever. nad its worn a bit.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
