Hunting down a intermittent engine light issue. I have narrowed it down to something in the dash or the actual dash. Iv pulled everything out and cleaned jiggled wires. Just a question for those in the know, what is the black box with all the wires that is on the right hand side of the dash hole?

actually I was just poking around under mine today, and I have a black box with lots of wires between the fuse box and the driver's kick panel, its a kind of super interior box which beeps, does central locking etc etc.

why do you think the problem is under the dash. do you know what the error code actually is?

Error code is primary ignition, but since she is a wasted spark set up with a new coil pack it's pretty unlikely. That and if I bang the dash the light goes out. I messed around behind the dash and the light stayed off for 100km then came on, then bashed the dash and now it's off again. I'd like the fix to be permanent as I'm trading her for a pnm35.

It could be, but I would prefer to not spend 1 k refitting the original coil set up, on a car I am getting a 2k trade in on. The C34 has had the wasted spark set up over five years and runs great. The car still runs great! The new coil pack and ECU reset has made it run even better! But the engine light issue is only a year old, and as I said goes away when I hit the dash. The only success I have had in keeping it off is by messing around with the wiring behind the dash. Hence why I believe there is so thing lose back there that is causing the engine to short on and off. Or that's the theory today.

Recently had the rust repair done on both of my cars ($1360 for both). (about 4 weeks ago now). Since we have decided to put my RSfourS up for sale. Not wanting to let it go due to plans for it. but if it sells it sells if not ill be happy to keep it with the rust repaired. but selling as we are looking to upgrade to a bigger car (Elgrand). I will post link up at some point or if anyone is interested (tuned to 244KW, high km's chassis low km's engine, $16,000 atm) it will definetely be missed.

So next on my to do list was to upgrade the cooling system on my M35. Radiator, coolant bypass mod, water pump, Nismo thermostat and I also got a high pressure Nismo cap which I put on straight away because it looked pretty. Probably not the best idea as after about two days the top tank on my radiator has cracked. Maybe coincidence as it was 13 years old but I don't think so. So when my new radiator with plastic tanks turns up (thanks Scotty), should I ditch the Nismo cap? Anyone been running a Nismo cap on a plastic tanked radiator for any length of time?

Plastic top tanks do fail but a brand new one should be fine with the new cap. But ditch the Nismo thermostat - it serves no useful purpose but just delays warming up to optimum operating temperature.

      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

      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

      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)

      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.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
