Same 2.5 litre V6 as the 626, beautiful engine, but when they go wrong; and they do... BIIIG dollars.

i think you will find the Eunos 30X had a 1.8Ltr V6........ we used to own one back in the day when we were in NZ.

Right you are :thumbsup: , the 2.5 didn't have much torque, that 1.8 must need a rev to get going...

Has anyone seen the movie "RED" with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich in it? I was watching that and noticed that Jetwreck has a doppelganger in one of the other major roles...

f**k that shit. He was the DOOM GUY!!!!

Gutted! It looks like I have to go to Sri Lanka for a couple of weeks, leaving on Tuesday... so not only do I miss the opportunity to demolish Robbie on the dyno, but Ryan will probably have his sway bars in before I get mine! Bastards!

your sri lankan?

can i go instead??? lol

:rofl: Mate, Im as white as can be. I find meat pies a bit on the spicey side sometimes :P We (my company) have an office in Sri Lanka, and I oversee some projects that are run out of that office; so Im needing to spend some time there to get a few things finalised :(

damn u.

lol i find some chillies as mild as a meat pie!

i havnt been to lanka in ages! wanna go back :(

Went to a different BP to my standard local, and the attendant was so excited by my car he just about had kittens. You'd think working at a petrol station he'd see a lot of quite nice cars coming through, but he seemed to be compeltely enamored by my stag; he knew what it was - and basically ran out and said "Man that is awesome. That is just cool". Kinda humbling to see someone so enthusiastically positive about your pride and joy :rofl:

Haha atleast when you fill up you don't get yelled at by the caltex attendant saying "no no don't put ethanol in your car it won't work I don't care what you say" true story happened today lol

I should be so lucky. He didn't even offer me a discount on the fuel! Mustnt have liked the car THAT much.

what a sham! he probably said that so youd fill right up.

AAron, thats gold! did you spin all 4 wheels right out of the station to show him that you CAN put E85 in your car?

Well I sure showed him! I only filled up half a tank; $1.60 was just a touch too much for a full tank.

And LOL.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
