Yeah, I think a drive might be a good way to unwind from work.

Hope to have a few things sorted on the car by then :happy:

Nick in his C34 should be coming, any other Sydney stags?

SAU social cruise 26th Feb

Nah - unfortunately, Raf and Alex, I won't be able to make it. Got a birthday party to attend that afternoon/night and if I come along I won't be back in time to help in the set-up.

There is a March cruise coming up though (details to be posted soon), and I should be able to make that one, depending on how many birthday parties are set up between now and then (mine and at least 5 other friends are all in March)...

Evening peeps! long time no post! Goldzilla, I apologise for not contacting you: I was down your end a couple of weeks ago, but only for a very short time, and mega busy... Hi to all the new faces! Hope all is well!

Micah

Nah: too busy trying to buy investment property, and the old girl's got some life left in her yet!

I'm trying my damndest to make the numbrs work for me to move down your way, but the pricing in the Northern beaches is........ a real Beach! Still, there is some potential.... watch this space... ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

stag decided to start making a funny noise last 2 times i've driven it.... checked all fluid levels and everything seems to be fine!

pretty sure its the power steering belt or something....as it gets louder when I put the wheel in full lock!! >.<

(at least my clutch thrust bearing whine has gone away for the last 6 months)

might take it in for a service as the 100,000 just ticked over the other day! whistling.gif

yeh im pretty sure most cars make a slight "belty" sort of sound at full lock.. maybe get it checked if your getting someone to do the 100,000km service, maybe them??

yeah i'm getting it checked thursday!! it kindof goes away after the car warms up! >.<

just made me worried cos it was a "different" kindof a noise haha whistling.gif

im waiting till i blow it up anyway.

I thought you had said your gear box was with the shift kit was handling the new tune?

yeah I checked my fluid at the back and that's a bit low.. 99% probs the cause of it! >.<

I checked everything but the back one!

that's the atessa fluid right ? I thought a light was meant to come on and tell you if that was low??? haha

maybe not whistling.gif

p.s. have you checked for cats in and around the engine bay ?? oh thats right.. the m35 probs couldn't fit one in there.. :P

yeh atezza, make sure when your checking it, the car is running and at operating temp. its the only time the pump bottle will be accurate.

lol, im suprised at how modifcations fit in there.. hahaha

no cats. maybe a mouse, or two

nah turns out the atessa is fine.. had a leak near my power steering pump haha was a tad low.. fixing it up for me cos was just a clamp he thinks!!

I've been hard at work thinking about what I can keep in the back left storage thing in my car.... (the panel)

question for the day: what does everyone keep in their back left panel compartment thingy?? :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • 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.
