So i woke up saturday morning to find paw prints all over my stagea. Up the bonnet, all over the windscreen and up and down the roof a few times.

"Big deal" i hear you say? "How much damage can a little kitten do?" :D

The only thing with paws around my place is our 6-month old, 22kg golden retriever puppy. :P:D

He has jumped up on the doors a couple of times before and put a few little scratches on it, but nothing like this. He obviously had a couple of tries to get onto the bonnet - there are 4 sets of scratches running down the front of the bonnet and over the headlight, so I guess it was slipperier than he was expecting. ;)

So after 6 months, my near-perfect ARX is now looking decidedly family-spec. There's dog fur all through the back, a dent in the door where the missus opened it onto the corner of a wall and the inevitable gutter rash on the rims.

Oh well, I was planning on keeping it for a while...it will probably end up as a paddock-basher for the kids to learn to drive in another 10 years or so...

yeah mine has family specs now as well. It has marks on the back window where the roller door came down on it. there is dog fur in the car and the 2 year olds food crumbs all over the back seat. lucky my wife dosent hit gutters. I atleast taught her that one.

;)

Dog hair - check (although it is more on the mat I can remove and on the floor mats than in the back)

Dog scratch marks on driver and passenger front doors - check

Dent on roof from large tree branch falling on it - check (all the scratches from where the branch slid arcoss the roof and down the bonnet did buff out though :P )

Gutter rash on one rim - check

Sticky, dirt/dust-covered engine bay - check

*sigh*

Still looks great when clean though (except the engine bay)

Mine is the same. The SFHC is not so hard. Scratches everywhere. Worst ones are from the zips on kids school bags.

It is very dirty ATM. We live on tank water and have had no rain for nearly four months. It still looks good though and drives like new.

hmmmm mines family spec beause of reasons noone else has listed

the car seat in the back :ninja:

and the Baby on board sticker. still doesnt stop p platers "racing me" whe they see/hear the exhaust................. i just laugh and watch them roar off like its the fast and the furious.

Dog fur everywhere.

No rear seatbelts (dog).

Scratches up the back (my dog is trained to jump out through the back, and will be training him to jump in soon).

Scratches over bonnet from chickens.

Slobber all over my windows in the back.

Every knob in the back that he can get teeth on his gone.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
