G'day gents,

Andy from Victoria here, recently bought an '89 R31 Ti. Runs great and everything, great on the outside, but the interior is bordering on disgraceful. There are quite a few cosmetic and maintenance things I'd like to get done for it.

- Caps missing for power window switches on the driver side

- Broken sunroof seals!! (this one is urgent, the sunroof is ASC)

- Caps for door locks are loose/missing

- Roof light switch is broken (I'm told a ball bearing is missing?)

- New dashboard lightglobes (current ones are so weak it's not funny)

- There's a STOP TAIL light in the middle lights display that lights up whenever I brake while the low-power lights are switched on or whenever I accelerate really hard, is this normal, or a wiring problem by a mechanic?

- There's a creaking/clicking noise everytime I turn the steering wheel slightly to the left (this isn't the several loud clicks you get when you turn the wheel 360 degrees, it's a quieter, more annoying version of that)

I have absolutely no clue about cars or repairs (this is my first), does anybody know any Nissan/Skyline specialists in the eastern area who can do this?

Thanks in advance!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
