Hey guys, i just wanted to see if there is any interest in having their car stripped back via soda blasting? My partner and i are getting to the stage where we want to take control of our own income instead of relying on someone else to tell me how much i can earn lol. We're in the process of trying to organise finance and equipment and will hopefully be all set up and ready to go within the next 6-8 weeks. So we're basically testing the waters here to see if anyone is maybe building their latest masterpiece and needing to strip back the original colour, building a racecar that needs blasting inside and out or even someone who has their own industrial equipment that they want cleaned down/stripped for repaint. Or even stripping single panels for repaint. How much realistically you would spend in having the whole car stripped or even just stripped for a doors shut respray etc would be helpful too. Any other questions you can pm me etc or just reply in this thread. Thanks guys.

Btw, for anyone else that jumps forums like i do, yes i've asked this on other forums as well. Just looking for some info and a bit of indication of potential customer thoughts/needs.

Whereabouts are you? I've got a couple of small flaws which I'm looking at getting fixed in the future. I dont mind showing you and getting a rough idea on how much it'll cost. Maybe PM your number and we can arrange for something next time I'm back in town.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
