Anyone got one of these? Ive got the same (except in psi) and for the life of me i cant work out how to stop the start up noise (never really bothered me until now. Im sick of the 5 second screaming noise whenever i turn the car on) the instructions say to hold down the peak button when starting the car.. It doesnt work - ive tried all other combinations i.e holding it down when car is completely off then turning it on... having it on accessories then holding it down and starting the car.. nothing seems to work!

Also being that my skyline is fairly stock im hearing a slight scraping noise near the turbo. I was thinking the turbo is on its way out but it still makes approx 10psi by 4000rpm-5000rpm. The turbo was on its way out surely it shouldnt still be making decent boost? (I've tested it by turning down the boost - then upping the boost to get R&R)

Turbo noise could be the bolts holding turbo onto manifold. Most RB25DETs seem to have this issue. Just pull back the metal locking tabs, and be shocked at the fact the nuts will be finger tight.

Make sure the gauge is wired correctly. If the constant and switched 12v is hooked up wrong you cannot turn off the beep.

Once thats sorted,

Press the button on the gauge and Hold

Switch the ign on

Let the gauge finish the opening ceremony

Then let go

f**k i have got a water temp and a oil pressure of the same brand and it shits me to tears. I feel like smashing them after listing to them over and over. I have done what KWS explined but mine will make the noise once i turn it off and back on again. So maybe mine is wired in wrong!

      Genuine nismo N1 rear pods - anyone got any?

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Nismo32 · Posted

      Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.

      Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By billyons · Posted

      Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill

      While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.
