Outer Northside Aspley To Caboolture

[RandomHero83]

Car is back, Serviced and tuned. Making 341hp with more to come, I ran out of Dyno money because my radiator decided that it didn't need a top pipe connector.

Feels really responsive under power and feels nice and granny spec when cruising around town in higher gears. Not running rich now and when you hit the hammer she really goes.

A bit more work will pull another 30 - 40hp (to tune the duty on the ebc to keep the boost up at the end of gears) but I am leaning towards going to a GT35R.

Really happy with Richard at All Star Tuning in Brendale.

[RandomHero83]

Car broke down this morning on the way to work. Lost power during gear change and wouldnt kick over again. Hoping its just a battery related issue and i can jump start it. Unfortunately due to having to get to work i had to ditch her on the ride of the road, walk back the 2kms to home and grab my daily

No that feel, my bluebird decided it wanted to break this morning as well the bar between the throttle and the butterfly valve for the air flow came loose, zip-tied back together for a temp fix

I have, when my fuel pump shit it self, oh and when I broke two wheel studs, oh and when I ran out of fuel

[SCR48]

After coming back to the car and not being half asleep and 4am in the morning.. I'm feeling its fuel pump. Kicks over fine, can't hear the fuel pump when I turn the car on.. Pumps brand new so hopefully it's an easy fix

[HiveFleetAbyss]

Oh and when your battery escaped your vehicle

[Captain Natro]

Yes, but I fixed that on the side of the race track lol

[boiracer]

Duct tape?

Maxima tool kit.

Maxima tool kit.

This is actully what fixed it, I've got the trusty 1/4 inch sidchrome set in it now... And keep the half inch Stanley set for the garage

[SCR48]

Ended up being a shorted out wire.. Least it was a free fix

[HiveFleetAbyss]

So the part that's broken on the bluebird I'm gonna have to get from Nissan themselves anyone know where on ecan go to get a engine bay break down image or now the name of the linkage that goes from the end of the throttle cable to the butterfly valve?

Got a pic? And your VIN number

It might be "Rod-Connecting, Accelerator" - 16370-1E400

Part 16390 in this pic: http://www.megazip.ru/ru/auto/nissan/view/22/70/2747/81480

[HiveFleetAbyss]

That is indeed that part I require. Im dreading how much its gonna cost -.- until then JDM style zip tie repair.

[Smity42]

Well that number is for a KA24DE U13 according to FAST so hopefully it is the right one for you.

I reckon it should run you about $10 tops

[HiveFleetAbyss]

Through nissan for some reason I doubt it. Is there a specific branch of nissan to ring for spare parts or should any branch be able to help? Might even price up a new oil bypass pipe for the skyline.

Edit: did a little interwebs sleuthing and yeah probably under $10.

Metro Nissan @ Windsor and Village Nissan @ Petrie I have found both to be very helpful, as long as you can give them the part number.

Their willingness to look up part numbers for imports though will depend on who you speak too, their mood, the time of day, alignment of the planets, etc.
