Finally I got something worth posting in this section.Today I installed my cat-back, BOV and smoked fender indicators, sounds nice now! Tomorrow the center dash comes out and I'm gonna make up a single din plate to mount up the 52mm gauges i got and maybe a switch panel to go in the ashtray nice and stealth like. Lovin the satisfaction you get from DIY

Well not so much something I did, but some little punk ass vandal bitch threw a rock at my car last night and smashed the right fog light. NOT HAPPY!!! :domokun:

Too dark to catch him, and I didn't realise that it was actually smashed until I got to my gfs place. Bulb is intact, just need the glass. Betting replacing it will cost enough to give me the irrits, but not enough to put through insurance, unless the paint is marked in the light of day.

In happier news, going round to Brad's shortly to get my stereo stuff done. Should take my mind off the fog light...

Glenn, sounds like good stuff, did you get your Nistune sorted too?

You heading to Kadina next weekend Ruby?

Sure am! Most likely heading up Saturday evening (after a kids birthday party) for the sunday show. Stag is in it. :thumbsup: Its Ford country up there, so I'm thinking of sticking some Ford badges on it :laugh:

The one I was looking at ended up not being compatable on account mine isn't a rs4, so the nistune will have to wait till I got the coin for the chip + tune.

Luckily I got plenty of other bits and pieces I can mess around with in the meantime. Didnt get anything done today, we'll see if I get round to it tomorrow

FINALLY installed the new head unit. has an extra feature i didnt realise. the music kept playing when i unplugged the ipod cable. yes, music over BlueTooth!

just gotta put the AUX cable in and run all the crap to the rear tv tuner, and finally mount that properly. maybe i wont show up to work tomorrow..........

Brad and I (well, mostly Brad :whistling: ) got the new head unit, HDTV tuner and English conversion installed.

Immaculate job, comes up looking almost factory with the head unit screen folded in. English translation unleashes some extra goodies too.

Couple of annoying quirks with the Clarion head unit, it doesn't allow AV IN while connected to the iPod (needs the USB cord disconnected) and we couldn't get around the video block. Should be able to sort the second one out in time.

Huge job, but everything went back perfectly and I'm very happy with the result. Thanks Brad!

nice work but does the blue tooth connection quality drop from cable??

always wondered!

ohh damn, i bet mine will do that too! might mean BT streaming for me........... i dont like the idea of unplugging the USB cable all the time as i want it plugged in permanantly and the video lead to the TV tuner AV input.

Aaron, quality didnt appear to change. but i couldnt get it up very lound due to neighbours. BT has enough bandwidth for a 128k/sec music stream AFAIK.

ouch thats a lot of coin. could put a car PC in for that price and do even more

Yeah I know...but I don't wanna deal with the windoze crashing or BSODing or some other shit that comes along with PC's...

Plus I get mates rate for this stuff anyway...

LOL...lucky you.

I'm sure BSOD's are always a layer 8 issue..never Redmond's fault right? :whistling:

Mostly, yes :P

Its like if you put Mazda 121 brakes on your Stagea, is it Nissans fault if you cant stop?

LOL...

Don't get me wrong, I love Win7, I run it on my HTPC and users have nothing but good thing to say after we've rolled out 500 new Dell's with Win7 on them.

I just can't be stuffed having to deal with a BSOD if, say, I developed a bad sector on the HDD where the MBR sits. Yes, running a SSD will minimise shit like that from happening...but I deal with enough of that crap daily. The Stag's my place of "zen"!!

I know a carputer is more flexible and whatnot but by the time I get all the parts the price is pretty close to what I can get one of these Alpine HU's anyway...

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
