post-40292-1246377026_thumb.jpgHi guys, I am in the process of fixing my r34 gtt which I had stacked the front end off last year and now that I have finally been paid out by the insurance company a year later after having been stuffed :P around and going through courts its all good and I miss my car that much I've decided to fix it :D . lol anyways straight to the point I scored some xenon headlights off a bloke here on sau "pending delivery" to replace my old xenon headlights only to find out they won't pass VIV or roadworthy which I didn't know about because I thought I was replacing a factory item.. Well the car came with it and it's got a dimming switch next to the ignition. Also please shed some light on items like the bonnet, guards and bar I was going to for a carbon fiber TS GTR bonnet and F/Glass TS GTR bar and I have to replace passenger airbag and steering wheel and driver side seat belt and tensioners. I need to know if the Carbon and Fiber Glass are road worthy before I buy the stuff and what is the process involved for replacing airbags and seatbelt as it's been a challenge trying to find parts like radiator support, oem guards, windscreen front bar support headlights support I guess I have to go with new parts from NISSAN especially airbags., seatbelt. Anyways the car has been deemed as a repairable write off uneconomical but the chassis is straight and most of the damage is cosmetic no mechanical damage apart from radiator, AC stuff and windscreen washer bottle which made me decide to fix it after which I need to go for roadworthy and VIV inspection to register it. Also is it roadworthy to have a front mount and airfilter pod. I've attached some photos...

Guys thanks for listening. I look forward to your feedback :rant: .

Cheers.

PS: Do you think it is it worth fixing or should sell it as or strip it and sell it in parts?

Cant have a CF bonnet, needs to crumple and absorb padestrian impact etc. Do a search, but most states will let you have one intake mod (enclosed pod/fastened pod or IC)

What speed did you have the accident? I did heaps more damage about 12 months ago but my airbags didnt let go

what about the airbags...does the ecu needs to be cleared of any faults since the bags were deployed.

well you will need to find a non xenon headlight or you will have to get a compliance company to remove the xenon and put a serial stamp on the headlight stating that it no longer has xenon.

if that too much of a hassle id be happy to do a swap for my headlights for yours. i have a xenon headlight which the company that complianced my headlight removed and put a serial stamp on it making it a legal headlight.

with your xenon headlight you will not pass roadworthy.

as for if its worth it to fix your car or part it out. depends on whats actually damaged structure wise. are the radiator supports bent? the damage doesnt look too bad. panal wise looks like 2 new guards, bonnet and front bar. you need roadworthy headlights, frton reo supprt bar, rad support. maybe a new radaitor, new horn. get the airbag sensors re done. resetting the airbags maybe costly though.

good luck with it all.

The airbag light should be flashing if it finds a fault. If you've replaced all the right components and the ecu has been reset since being repaired (i.e. battery going flat ) it should be ok. Just make sure it lights up when you start your car and goes off.

At impact probably the same if not 70, although the car up front of me was moving so the G's probably werent as high

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
