quick question guys, previously i have gotten mechanics to do the oil changes on my car as its been in there anyway but i'm gonna do this one by myself. What i would like to know is where to get the crush washer for the sump plug from. Will they have a suitable one at supercheap or is it a genuine nissan design that only they sell at rediculous prices??

It should be a 12mm copper washer. Worth less than $1

ok awesome, will have a look at what they've got at supercheap then/might check under dads house first he has jars and tins full of bolts, screws and washers, save myself a dollar haha

I don't normally replace the washer every time, in fact; the current one has been on the sump plug for at least 5 changes.

Another big day in the shed, finally working on my car !

Rack bushes, front upper control arm now has adjustable bushes, as do the castor rods

Just need to get a proper alignment done now

Oh, and also found out that I have eibach springs with my impul super shocks

Neither of which I can find info for

http://performance-suspension.eibach.com/performance_suspension/performance_springs

Just installed slotted discs and some qfc HPX pads.

Also replaced the left front bearing that has been making a bit of noise. And due to. A brittle f2f boot ended up doing one of those. Ended up costing a bit more then I first intended, but I'm happy it's all done

what info? eibach are pretty much the best motorsport springs you can get, the spring rate will be printed on them

I'll go get the code off them but I couldn't see a spring rate anywhere

Might have to remove more dust/dirt lol

Also, to subtract from the win

I also found out that both inner cv boots are split on the front :-(

What's the going rate on someone else to do it? My tools are mostly in Tasmania and I'm up in qld for another 6 weeks

Its a cr*p job well worth paying someone - consider getting the cvs done while its apart.

New windscreen fitted after multiple chips in field of vision.

Annoyingly I mainly dropped it off to get the front windows tinted, after I got in trouble for too many darknesses was added last time.

I only avoided a yellow sticker through smooth talking and bold faced lies with the 16% it had on.

I took it back to the same place that talked me in to going dark to match the rears and told the lady up front i wanted legal tint and a new windscreen...

The guy out the back then took it upon himself to try and match the rear windows again.

Had to sit and wait while they peeled it off again and my arm is still getting sunburnt as they didnt have time to put what i wanted on....

At least the windscreen has been done.

Tried to install Scotty Dump Pipe without a hoist.......FAIL

Do you have ramps? I've changed my dump & turbo (twice) with the car on ramps & axle stands at the back.

However, I do need hardwood planks (old stair treads) to get the car onto the ramps because they 'ramp' up too steep & the front bar will hit.

good luck with that its a fun job!!! try and get the O2 sensor off so you can get to the bolt behind it otherwise get a special ball joint cuppler for the socket not the yoke type cos it'll just bind up..........

Well unfortunately for me I managed to cook my S1 over the weekend. Not liking the look of auto box + awd system but will give me opppurtinity to strip down a motor and learn internals.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
