yeah well i have nearly 3weeks to get her back on the road, so all should be good, i hope?

the most likely case is that ive just fu**ed the battery and a few wires. theres a good chance the alternator may be good, and a slim chance ive scrambled the ECU.

it was my own stupid fault for crossing jumpers. but its just been a nightmare lately but when it rains it poors right?

i called my mate Dave (head mech at f&f imports) and had a chat about what might be wrong, if it is the ECU im gonna replace it with a power fc or microtech.

its weird my car is getting faster and more powerfull, not by choice but because shit keeps breaking and im getting more powerfull parts to fix it lol!!!

its out at Everlast now and hopefully i'll hear something tomorrow. and the damage wont be to severe, but i did enough to fill the entire car with smoke.

im not sure what they plan to do about the damage, but its bad enough to need a respray but at least the fibreglass should be able to be repaired easily enough, i might talk to Jerry out at JRacing about it and c what he thinks.

in all fairness to them they were very helpfull and friendly(both the drivers and the office) but i just hope it all works out!!!

oh, just over it eh? gonna go buy a skateboard instead i think. :)

haha, fair enough, i wound down the window to give you a wave, then realised i wasnt driving my car, so i didnt bother lol.

i kept forgetting i was driving an automatic, so i was constantly trying to change down gears and kept using the footrest as a clutch by accident.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
