So hi,

Car is in the shop having all the engine mods done, and I get it back on Thursday.

Meanwhile I have some stuff to go on, and id like to not have to stop half way thru cos I cant work something out.

Tail lights - I've had a quick squiz and it seems getting the inside hatch panel out might be tricky, anyone know where all the bolts are?

Roof Racks - How do I get them off? I want to respray them

Outside door trims - Want to paint these too, whats the best way to get them off?

Weather shields - Same again, how to get them off?

On a side note, Ill be mucking around making some eyelids too, I'll be making a few styles to see what I like, any left over will likely be thrown up on here. What looks good?

Stag is a S1.

Thanks!

Rear tails for the outer ones theirs two nuts you can see when the tail gate is open, Undo these then the lights pull out with alot of force (theirs these plastic locating lugs holding them in) Then u have to remove half of the inside hatch panel. Its not that hard mate just look at it and you will work it out.

Weather shields are on with clips and an adhesive.

Weatherstrips - best to remove side glass first - use pick or small screwdriver to remove plastics clips from inside door.

Outside Door moulds - glued on and locators(no clips) - pull hard

Roof racks - bolted and doudle sided tape - remove headlining to access bolts - Be careful!! (cast alloy)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
