mine has a idle noise pattern, it goes quiet then goes a bit higher then dies down to 50% of that then rises again then goes to quiet and over again... it differs if I'm on an angle, how much I've got the clutch in etc...

despite how much the air con is draining power, the idle control should compensate. sounds like its on the way out or already gone. A good car should have a smooth idle no matter what accessories are on or off. Call ICE on 9512-7591 and ask for Gerald or Nigel.

Was it doing this when u got the car inspected?

Actually, the idle was varying between 500-850 when the aircon was OFF. So I don't know what the heck is going on...it's given me no problems so far. But I better get it checked. I think it was doing that on inspection but probably not that noticeable.

What I meant though is that when the aircon is ON, the idle becomes constant and doesn't vary anymore. Only when it is OFF. Bizarre bizarre.

Other thing that bothers me. Happens occasionally, past 70km/h, suddenly the cars steering goes off abit. I feel as if the rear is floating. I take it that's the hicas at work? However, my wheel suddenly doesn't become aligned straight anymore. However, most of the time it seems to have no problems of that sort. HICAS problem? Would a 4WS alignment help?

Anyone also know where I can get wreckers for skyline parts? Thinking of looking for a Type-M body kit or some nice side skirting. Any advice guys?

Thanks!

On some advice, brought it down to Nissan today. They didn't find any problems apparently. The console showed up nothing, just the TPS was acting up a little. Idle was adjusted and that was it (although it's still wavering a little).

Hmmm..I'm still sus on the Hicas. ECU wasn't readjusted either.

Mebbe I'm just paranoid...

Car's performing fine...and she's a dream to drive. I'm proud to say that...hooray..I finally own a Skyline :D Always wanted one anyway.

Now...to bring the boost to 10psi. Some nicer rims.

Shite..I'm still looking for webspace to host a pic of the car.

Thanks for the advice guys!

hey Ait u should take ur car to a performance specialist and get it serviced, change the spark plugs etc, it may fix the idling. i dunno about nissan though, i think they're just over priced. their services mainly involved inspecting, they dun actually do much and they charge u heaps.

Yes, indeed. They checked, said there was nothing wrong and charged me $65. That idling and the hicas problem still bugs me. I just encountered it again.

Yes, I need a performance specialist who's very knowledgeable in Skylines. I might check out Ice Performance.

INARK, I'm in the East Malvern area.

I'll send you the pics after I change away my hideous charcoal coloured GTR looking rims :D (I'm too ashamed of my car's appearance):eek: :Paranoid:

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
