Still not sure where I want to take it, everyone says go to efi but their prices are a bit high, I've had bad experiences with recommended tuners before, the people with no recommendations are always more willing to fix their mistakes.

That's if your engine survives their mistakes!!! Do you want to risk a $10,000 rebuild for the sake of a few hundred dollars? The tune is the most important element in the process.

i see your point, judging by how its running now it will only need a quick touch up anyway. im gonna give efi a call tomorrow and get it booked in. just a question, ive never had a car tuned that didnt have a boost guage, should i temporarily install the one from my wifes car for the tune??

I attempted to help Brad install my headrest monitors, we got them all in and got the headunit fixed up. Now we have 4 screens running for our trip over to Melbourne for Gymkhana :thumbsup:

Brake rotors were finished and sent Friday, so just waiting for them to arrive and fit up. Waiting for lots to arrive at the moment...

Want to do mine? I'm so bloody lazy...:rolleyes:

bit of a prick to do but luckily cos i have the plenum spacer i didnt have to take the inlet manifold off too :)

about a 3hr job taking my time to do it carefully.

disconnect all the wiring around the left bank.......... because i disconnect the cam sensor is that going to cause a drama when i go to start it up again ?

Yeh, I've got the spacer too.

I'll be doing mine this week I think. You shouldn't have any issues with engine light as long as you don't turn on the key with any wiring disconnected.

4? where's the forth one mounted?

How hard is it to do these headrest screens? how do you run the cable through the seat?

I have the standard one in the dash, and the 7" pop out one in the headunit. Plus two in the headrests.

Headrest screens aren't that hard, but I sucked at it. Brad was running wire through the seat backs, because there is a void in there, but I sucked at getting the wire through the seat, because there's the metal frame you have to work around.

You need patience to do it, and I don't have enough >_<

I've got a mate who works at Tower Audio who'll do it but he's pretty busy. Not sure if I'm brave enough to attempt this myself...

Might just stick with wifi streaming for the time being

Don't you just unzip the cover at the back & lay them in? Anyway,that will keep the passengers entertained.

And you have a heap of stuff coming if I recall - you are going to be a busy lad over the next little while.:happy:

Apparently they're a pain to rezip and resecure, so we used wire. Not too difficult really, just have to be patient threading the wire through.

Yep, big collection: Rotors, braided lines, shift kit, BCs, wireless reverse camera being the main stuff. Also got pads, adjustable rear toe arms and Informeter which still haven't made it in. Looking forward to getting it all installed :thumbsup:

Headrests are not that hard to put in. Like Ryan said you need patience. I fed a banana shaped bit of wire down the back of the seat. Some times you get it first go other times I just want to throw tools. And if you unzip the seats and undo the plastic lip at the bottomm its a bitch to get back together.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      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.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
