Hey Fellas.

Hopefully some 1 here will b able to help me out with these minor annoyances.

(you know this little things that annoy the hell out of u but u cant b bothered to look in to them to much)

i own a 1995 r33 with 72 000kms

First off tonight i was driving home and my stering weel started making a clicking noise when i turned it, it also made slight rattles when i went over bumps. The car still handles fine but its getting really annoying, could this be a loose skrew it sounds like something inside under the horn pusher thingo its hard to explain sorry, i would get a new steering weel but its got an air bag. any suggestions what this might be, and how to fix it ?

Secondly my turbo timer decides sometimes not to run for the full 60 secs or not to run at all this dosnt happen too often but it been happening more lately, also sometimes it turns off when i push my alarm button to lock the car... wtf ??

Finnaly: i think this is a sincro mesh problem but my gear box crunches when i go into 2nd, as the oil warms up it dosnt do it as much and if you are gentle with it sometimes it dosnt do it at all. Does this sound like sincro or a totaly ****ed gearbox ?

Any feedback on these problems would be sweet, i cant sleep at night :cheers: knowing my friggin steering weel ***en clicks when i turn it. Sorry im obcessed

Mate their was a clicky streering wheel thread a while ago and they said all it was was a couple of loose screws that you can get to behind the steering wheel.

As for the gearbox - everyones got their crunches.... they just hide it really good with Redline Lightweight Shockprook g/box oil. Thats about all you can do.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
