Cleaned the MAF, Cleaned the Throttle body which was crazy filthy - you could see where the plate was pressing into the build up of gunk.

Re-set the ECU, and Idle (which was 1200rpm after the TB clean!) back down to 650rpm. much smoother and pleasant to drive. Surprised I got it all work 1st go!

Proceed to "test" up the Old Pac Hwy!!!:w00t:

There is a few tricks to this. You can file out the big marks and hit the smaller marks with some wet and dry moving up from a 240 grit to 2000grit. Once you hit it with some course polish and work to a nice fine polish, you wont notice the gutter rash.

I fitted my towbar to the Stag today. It's been sitting in the Garage waiting for me to do something for a few weeks now. I bought it second hand. I removed the goofy trailer plug and mount, removed some surface rust and gave it a coat of matt black rust stop. It fitted up quite nicely, but it looks like I need to get a new tongue made up as i don't want to cut up the rear lip. Failing that I guess I could space the tongue down by 15mm with a plate.

Thoughts/suggestions??

Had the car since end of Jan and this weekends been the first chance i've got to play on the car, only small stuff thou

1. replaced Cabin Filter

2. installed the Fm band expander (cardealer said they were going to put this in but didn't)

3. Pulled the DVD Rom out and Opened it up to physically clean the laser. Put i back in and now it works

so i can finally have the english conversion done (couldn't read the disc first time)

4, Installed a Reverse camera to the factory tuner, not essential but i figure if you have a Screen on the dash it might as well have a camera

Interior was in many pieces, but all when back together fine with only a couple of spare clips left over.

I did aciddently short the reverse light fuse and couldn't find the fuse to replace it.

wasn't to concerned and was going to sort it out later, until i tried to start the car and found out that it won't start without it

anyway searched the forum and learnt about the 3rd Fuse box hidden behind the battery on the firewall, so alls good again

i always thought the 2 fuse boxes i knew of didn't have enough to cover all the elec systems in the car

and It amazes me how they decided what areas of the Stagea needed to have English text and Japanese text on the other bits

Got the bastard file out and got rid of the rash. Then just sanded the whole rim from 200 grit all the wat to 2000. Then used a powerball and autosol. Alot of hours and sore arms but it was all worth it.

Easy job replacing the cabin filter? Did you buy a cabin filter from Ebay?

Where's the Second fuse box????? I know of the one behind the battery, I know of the one down near the accelerator pedal. Where's the other? :thumbsup:

Iain,

Let me know if you have any of the centre console of the beige car handy. I still want to remove my 'out of colour' centre section where the stereo goes and replace it with something factory.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
