Man that sux Fane, hope you can fix it :)  

Driver didnt you sell your car? or were about 2?

Almost sold it :)

I was coming home from the licencing center after getting new number plates, to hand the car over the next day.

But luck wasnt on my side..

I got witnesses saying it was her fault so that helpd a little.

shit man .. thats unlucky ... i've said it before and i'll say it again .. you just can't help bad luck!!! :rolleyes: ... but good to see u got a good attitude ... i'm a little confused as to why ur premium wouldnt' go up since its not your fault and that you did very well to avoid the accident.

Hey fane

Sorry to here you bruized your line. My brother inlaw does some panel work and spray painting (paints planes @ janderkot and does ppls cars on the side does a F#*kin good good to) so if you let us know if you need help. You should see the 240Z he just finished.

yer i have been thinking about it and my insurance company wont be involved at all... so i shouldnt really care....i was just a bit stirred up and shaky all day couldnt really think properly...

k the video and more pictures up where i got air and where i landed are uploaded into the http://www.iinet.net.et/~robi/car/ folder.

the tire wasnt that worn before this happend i drove home about 2 kms to get home and then drove back in the old mans car to make a statement and stuff... because i was shit scared... it scared the crap outa me.... the cops were fine, they didnt even care about me they just wanted a witness about the main accident.

thanks impul i'll PM you once i have washed that side and hope its buffable...

aliance look like the first place to try i'll give them a ring today and take 1 of the rims up there...

mine are enkei racing, also 3 piece and im ring up about them today, i live in mandurah so i gotta drop them off sometime :) i ripped the front bar off last night and apparently it can get a re-resin of the back and fully re-fibreglassed and a re-spray for about $400. (my last quote as $330 but now its a bit more dented.)

i'll let you know what they say...

The front RIM is not saveable...

The guy from alliance rang today and said that the front one isnt saveable...because he cant get the middle out...

Anyone got any other places i can try? I think it might have to stay buggered....

On other news....i NEED 2 17" rims, does anyone have 2 laying around... i dont mind having 2 drift specs on the back for a short amount of time until i figure out what im going to do about the 1 that i need....

I have 3 out of the 4 set... hopefully i can find some...

But if anyone has some 17"s laying around that you dont mind me borrowing or i can throw som cash your way for them, i would be happy to throw in a carton for your trouble...

once i get some 17"s i can check all the suspension and get alignments done and the front bar glassed and resprayed....until then im dead in the water.... :)

thanks guys.. :goddam:

So ok everyone I have some bad news.

I didn’t buy enkeis.

That’s right I didn’t buy enkeis…

I have bought some Super Advan Racing mags… the trispoke ones

http://www.vivagarage.com/performance/perf...rims/advana.jpg

Got them for $1950 inc freight and they will arrive on my doorstep Wednesday morning.

I’ll put them on Wednesday and then I’ll show everyone on the next cruise… J

These are the only trispoke mags I like and I have seen them on quite a few skylines, the sure as hell arnt rare but I got them for a good price. 17x8s front and 17x9s rear with tires with apparently decent tred on. So we shall be the judge of that… J

So there we have it… fanes mag saga solved… now to the front bar, fmic, indicators, el gauges, window lift, turbo, ecu, etc etc etc…

J

I know lots of people have these mags but who exactly have these mags from sau?

Common? you dont know the meaning of common til you've got Roh wheels on ya car :rofl:

Nice looking rims Fane .... glad you finally have it all sorted and looking forward to seeing the car :O

    • 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.
    • 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.
