I dropped and changed the oil in both diff's

the oil that came out was putrid and like it had turned to water. glad i did it.

also got scotty to make me up a new "pre throttle body" IC pipe (the one with the BOV attached to it.) Have a look. gonna get some 3m sticky heat shield and cover it up. should look good

Easy to drop the oil in the diffs?

Me thinks a Tutorial is a good idea :D

good idea. might write one up on the m35info forum if the mod's want?

took me 20 minutes each diff + the time it would take to take the tray(rock deflector thing) off the front

you need a 1mm Allen key 3 quarts of diff fluid - should take two and abit.

same as servicing the transfer case.. drain with bottom allen key bolt, close up. fill with top allen key bolt until it overflows. pretty simple honestly.

dont know if u notice a difference in drive, but gives you piece of mind knowing you've done it.

I think if you come from S.Africa, its called a Ellen key.... (saw it written on a S.Africans toolbox - lol)

Anyways Going to strip, clean, and re-set the Throttle body this weekend. Any tips?

I got the reset idle air volume instructions etc etc... anything else i should know, what to touch/ what not to touch?

also interested. i cleaned the visible part last night. now warm idle is 750ish RPM

oops.

can it be reset?

Depends. Not on my original one it couldn't.... unless Iain has somehow managed it.

I think I may have stretched whatever is in there because my warm idle was just over 1100rpm (cold was around the 1600rpm mark)

650 +/- 50rpm is factory spec, so 750 shouldn't be an issue.

Mine idles 550-650 (500 when hot). No issues at all.

Guess it just comes down to how comfortable you are with it.

why not clean and re-set the idle...?

Nothing to stretch in there - its only cogs/motors/sensors afaik

mine is about 750 at the moment in N or P, about 700 in D.

Did the other shopping trolly (that has done 175k Kms) today, cleaned TB and MAF, good result -idles much smoother now :thumbsup:

Cam had one that wouldn't set the idle after cleaning. Mine is the same. I don't mind an 800rev idle in drive though.

Mine may not set the idle any more due to the engine light being on and the ecu in fault. It will drop the revs after the learn but the next time I start it the idle has raised again.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
