hey guys just got cained in the pits :huh:

got booked for being 20 mm too low, changed everythng over but i didn't clear it cos the peanut i bought the car from dented the chassis rails when he jacked the car up.

can anybody recommend me a place to get this done, is it a mechanic or panel beater job?

cheers guys

Well you can't have it on the pillar, on the dash above the steering wheel, behind the steering wheel on the column or below the dash where your legs are, as these are all 'crash zones'.

Legally, just throw it on the centre of the dash like what some HSV's or FPV's have... That's legal. Otherwise you'll get hassled.

mines on top of the steering wheel column in front of the dash but not obstructing the cluster. Been through regency 3 times with it, no problems. even had one inspector shake it to make sure its bolted down...

mind putting a pic up?

curious to see where exactly it is lol

booked in for regency this friday at 10 am. ill be getting my old man to take it through, yup, im playing the parental unit card.

stock suspension is in, stockish wheels (with brand spankin new rubber) are on, borrowed a standard exhaust and fitted that along with my standard cat, standard boost solenoid is hooked up, diff has been cleaned to within an inch of its life, gonna give the engine bay a degrease and spray today or tomorrow, then im off. fingers crossed.

Thats where mine are. He was about to tell me to take them out on the spot but then noticed the velcro and said they are fine.

So i guess u can have them on ur dash. I just carry around my old defect notice if anyone asks.

Hey luke bit of topic but what brand gauges do u have and they are 60mm ye?? I need to buy some for my gauge holder on my pillar but i can only fit 60mm, and urs look sweet i have been looking for the same colours.

what other gauges are you running? 34's already have speed, RPM, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, boost, volts

passed relatively trouble free. only faults were the seatbelts not retracting properly, but he was happy with those because they still locked when he yanked on them.

and the windscreen washer which worked perfectly when i checked everything this morning didnt work come inspection time, but the inspector put that down to water restrictions. :domokun:

dude was a f**kin champ.

he laughed at the boost gauge defect, but the reasoning he gave for the wheel defect was pretty sound. apparently people have a habit of taking to their wheels with a drill press to make them fit, and considering some of the calls ive had about my wheels, im not going to dispute that.

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
