Hey,

I know it seems like I post a lot of pretty basic questions up, but I wasnt a car enthusiast all my life and I missed out on a lot of beginners stuff that most people already know, and I think its better to ask stupid questions than continue on assumed knowledge or no knowledge.

Anyway, Ive attached some photos of stickers and parts on my car that I don't know what they are or what they mean, any information would be helpful.

1: (red/white) is the tyre placard showing what the tyre pressure should be in KPA

Weird...this should have been removed and replaced with an English sticker/plate during compliance.

2 + 5: (ENEOS)

These look like "next service due at" stickers.

AT = Auto Transmission

CV = CV Joint

etc

3 + 4

Where are they ?

They look like amps or something

6: (Green/Black)

Air con information (probably from the last air con service / last time air con was regassed)

7: (Black/White)

Emmissions information ?

3 and 4 are both from Mitsubishi, which confuses me a lot being in a Skyline :)

Its mounted just to the right of the had unit under the steering wheel, to the left of where your leg is sitting toward the clutch.

It has a card slot and the little diagram is directions on how to insert the card.

The theories ive heard about it are that it is a tuner shop details card (but the car is stock), its a credit card swiper (and it might have been a taxi in japan) or that its like one of those cars that can be rented and they have cards to start and time your use.

Im not really sure what it is, but its weird to me that it has mitsubishi written on it

Nah contrary to popular beleif they were never used as taxi's.

Wouldn't be for a tuner / workshop.

Possibly a rental car...

Alot of stuff on Nissans has the Mitsi logo.

On both my Ceffies the Crank Angle Sensor, some other little electrical stuff and bits of the air con have that logo.

Is there any wiring going into those card machines ?

Japan is 10 years ahead of us in technology.

In 2000, the ETC in your Skyline would have been the bee's knee's start of the art niftiest shit ever. A decade later "ours" might be smaller than that, but Japan would have even smaller, faster and smarter ones by now :wub: haha

Your probably right about that... But do you think they eliminated the card system? I mean, considering its a card, it does have a limit to how small it can be.

don't forget, sim cards used to be the size of a credit card.. :P

also they car was probably made big so that it was easy to remove or install if you bought a new car, or if it was something that needed to be replaced often. imagine if your credit card was the size of a sim card. it would be a pain if you had to try and swipe it through a machine everytime you bought something.

Probably because it's made by Mitsubishi Electric, as distinct from Mitsubishi Motors.

(There are numerous "Mitsubishi" companies in Japan, from when the original Mitsubishi conglomerate was broken up by the US following WWII. They all use the three diamonds logo - Mitsubishi literally means "3 diamonds")

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
