Changed my Spark plugs, put NGK PFR6A-11 in it.

Old ones where Buggered! Might explain the misfires and Flames out the exhaust. :whistling:

Flames.....flames.....flames are AWESOME!

Edited by Jetwreck

You are dumping air out of the system that has already been metered and had fuel added for, excess fuel in to hot exhaust = flames (especially when you give the throttle another stab and it gets hot gasses rushing up behind it).

Depends. Not on my original one it couldn't.... unless Iain has somehow managed it.

I think I may have stretched whatever is in there because my warm idle was just over 1100rpm (cold was around the 1600rpm mark)

ohh i didnt realise you sent me a faulty one back. awesome!

I presume you are joking.

You were going to take it apart while work with your mate to see if you could adjust the signal/response to hopefully get rid of the throttle restriction.

As such it "didn't matter" that it was causing a high idle as it was just going to be pulled apart anyway.

Hence why we swapped my TB with the V35 TB you had.

If you are joking mate, I have missed it (just had an "interesting conversation" with my boss :mad: )

not joking. anyway too late now and dont want to get into it in a public forum.

pinch.gif How bad ?

Despite it being (in my opinion) a hard hit, the air bags didn't deploy, but it was a side swipe impact afterall. So I guess on that basis, it will be cheaper to repair now that I don't need replacement airbags.

Here are some pics ... warning, the following picture may offend.

The image doesn't show well, but the fender is concaved right in and the plastic shroud rubs the wheel.

If I haven't mentioned it already, was an old guy who pulled out of a side street into my lane. I really had nowhere to go and not enough braking distance. Tried to get around him, and almost made it, otherwise it would have been more front end damage and airbag deployment.

:down:

ahh damn! glad youre ok mate

i think they need to do annual testing of older drivers from 70 now.

i got taken out by a 74yo lady who said she had a green arrow to turn. except she wasnt at that intersection.

OK so I got my new grill today....sprayed it up and fitted it.

Thoughts!!

P.S. I just figured out my bonnet is out of lineblush.gif

Thats fairly impressive, you managed to take two photo, minutes apart & from an identical position, with your finger over the lens both times :P

Looks good !

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
