best place to get rocker cover gasket.... main north nissan since they a club sponsor?

Ive bought a shitload of parts from main north nissan of late, and they are very well priced - some cheaper than what people in the eastern states are getting, then we get an additional 10% off!

Also bought parts from this place before, $93.50 for the kit (both sides and the half moons). >>Kudos Motorsports<<

What's everyone doing tonight?

I thought I might try having a go fitting up the Blitz LM FMIC I bought ages ago.

Unfortunately, I can't get it to fit without cutting the reo - which is something I really didn't wanna do (specifically bought the Blitz cos I was assured I wouldn't need to cut reo).

... pondering taking a pass on it and selling it on now ... *sigh*

On an even crappier note, when I went to fit the FMIC found someone has what looks like punched my front drivers-side guard; Guessing it was earlier tonight when I was parked at shops, came back and a bunch of young punk-types hanging around their cars just across from mine - all laughing between each other n gave me shit when I drove off. Wish I'd realised at the time.

So - anyone know anyone who does cheap paintless dent repair?

Crappy night has been crappy.

I did the same thing when I tried fitting my Blitz LM FMIC (been sitting in garage for 6 months!). 50mm needs to be taken out of reo and I was thinking this is bullshit and will void insurance.

I phoned Shannons and talked to 2 different people on 2 different days and they both told me that as far as their concerned it won't void an insurance claim so long as I tell them it's on there. I explained to them that cutting the reo will have an effect in a front end accident but they told me that because it's an import then likely it's going to make repairing the car expensive or a write off anyhow. When I eventually get around to fitting mine, I'll get one of those radiator cooling panels which should disguise the cut reo at least when looking from the top.

Hey mate, give this guy a ring, I've used him a few times before. He is fast and efficient and reasonably priced too

and PS: I've had a car pass regency with no reo bar and 43 zip ties holding the whole front end of the car together. Bumper, grille, brake lines, headlights, etc etc etc

soooooooo

Ive been in hospital, cardiac unit

had a small heart attack friday arvo

out of hospital now but out to cardiology specialist unit for more examinations soon

heart was over 200bpm for half hour & trying to come out of ribs Aliens styles, left arm went dead, then 130-190bpm for 24hrs

feel pretty ratshit now

anyways, yeah

fullon

Im in need of an car electrician.

Adjusting my air con makes like a buzzing noise, radio / dvd player drops signal and "seeks" a lot. I didn't wire it, but i did have a look and its a horrible job. Plus there are other wires and looms everywhere with electrical tape that I have no idea where they are going or what they are for (after market im sure).

Anyone help me out?

The air con noise might just be the actuators are partially seized up, just operate everything each time you get in the car and see if it frees up. Thats what I got told to do.

Is it a Jap radio or an Aus one?

f**ked up hey

felt 20yrs slip off my life span

cheers

that sucks to hear Brendan. Wish I did have time to drop by yesterday. I'm at the hospital atm. Slight training accident. Waiting for xrays. :D
your only a young man yourself to early for heart attacks unless its because you just cracked the lap time @ mallalla or something

how frail the human condition really is

yeh I know

4 weeks ago I wouldnt have worried about it - state of mind at the time, but now more positive after seeing headshrink / new antideps so figured I better get to the hospital

always had a heart murmur (faulty valve) and an irregular heartbeat but never been concerned about it, more on the mind re: knees

was what youd call a 'small' cardiac arrest, perhaps stress as Ive been stressed out with lose of house, marriage breakup etc

seems my heart is irregular like its got a gummed up spark plug, not sparking correctly

they can go in and cauterize areas where the electrical currents are 'shorting' and fix up that way, so tests to see whats up this week

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
