haven't changed anything....And I don't get a constant figure either...jumps from as low as 11.x to 13.x as a rev higher

Below 2.5k rpm its like 15-6ish :ph34r:

WTF is happening...

You got a leak somewhere?

Just installed the USA-spec pa15-nis. Very easy plug and play set up, only 3 plugs.

The sound is awesome as I expected. I can't recommend this enough to anyone (like me) that's wants to keep the factory single din stereo to keep it intergrated with the factory tv screen and wants to add in an iPod/iPhone to it. You can also add another audio device into the unit.

Music is all control either via the factory head unit or the iPod/iPhone itself and it charges them.

Only $160ish delivered via eBay out of the US.

Just took the car in for a wheel alignment, front bushes and ball joints are knackered.

I know SuperPro do the bushes, but anyone know where I can get the replacement ball joints?

Washed my filthy car today.rolleyes.gif

I've been looking at foam lances for a while now for my Karcher; prices ranged from $200 odd blink.gif to just under $75 delivered (UK). These are pro quality items, and you can adjust how much foam you actually get.

Anyway, I saw this at Bunnings; http://www.karcher.com.au/aus/Products/Home__Garden/Accessories.htm?&sdp=ac&pid=26418480&accessoriesGroupName=Special+applications&pn=Foam+nozzle%2C+0.3+litre&title=Foam+nozzle%2C+0.3+litre&refP=%2Faus%2FProducts%2FHome__Garden%2FAccessories.htm%3F%26accGrNm%3D10011604__Special%2520applications

2641848_popup.jpg It has a 300mL cup and was only $15!

It works great! Took a little fine tuning to get the mix right; and you need to work fast in the foaming stage, (the cup empties fairly quickly) but now I'm foaming like a rabid monkey!banana.gif

For anyone who's wondering; the foam softens the muck on the paint better than just hosing; allowing you to pressure wash off most of the stuff that scratches the paint when you manually wash.

The more you can get off without touching the paint; the less fine scratches you put on the car. On a black car it makes a big difference to how often you need to do paint correction.

New front upper control arms with nolathane rubbers (or SuperPro????) for my NM35 today at Wholesale Suspension, Penrith, NSW.

This was on top of replacing the lower ones abt 6 weeks ago (by Jetwreck). The knock in the suspension had gone away but came back

again after a while, particularly when under heavy braking.

Picked the car up from Pedders, rear is dumped, but only just level with the front. Weird... but can't go any lower on the rear. Haven't measured yet though.

Got my new blow off valve in the mail today, Turbosmart Nissan specific dual port. Nicely made unit. Fit it this afternoon, not too hard, just had a higher pick up for the hose. Set it up as plumb back, and set it as stiff as it went.

Gives a fair bit of flutter, but other than that is all good. Will back off the stiffness in the morning and see if that lessens the flutter. Main thing is it fixes the 'farting', guess I'll find out over the weekend, with a drive to McLaren Vale and back.

Picked up my car from All Type today. Largely happy with the job, would have liked them to touch up the car more, but I think I always knew that the job wouldn't be up to my standards..

Grille is painted and fitted. Wing will go on tomorrow when I get some adhesive rubber stuff for it.

anyone seens pics of a stag with big wheel flares?

Like this?:whistling:

Ghetto; but pretty cool...

Edited by Daleo

yep, that is indeed a good start. too small but at least it gives an idea of how they would look.

actually that looks like a well built car at a glance

Lol, I was only really referring to the exterior; rivetted on flares over the existing rear doors, etc.

Everything under the skin is beautifully fabricated.:thumbsup: Definitely has attitude.

ahh yeah, some practicality lost, but otherwise it's pretty good. I like a home built race car, they can have heaps of good ideas. Like the rear door on that one for instance

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
