question. Probably showing my noobness at cars now but what are the benefits of having the front set to medium to high over soft?? i mean it causes under steer the tighter you go, so why would you want it.

It is all a balancing act.. It is about finding the right setting to suit all the other variables on your car to achieve the best balance to your driving style.

Tyres, suspension and throttle input all have an influence on how your car will feel and a set up you like, if I hoped in to drive, I may not.

The stiffer front is all about finding a balance point for the car.

Hi,

can you contact us direct here Email me as we can reply faster.

It is true stiffening the front will make more understeer and may not turn in as well but should not affect steering return or get stuck anywhere.

We have not in any past sales heard anything like this but if you contact us direct we will endevour to solve any issues you are experiences.

Hi Guys thanks for the replies

Did you upgrade link ends?

i didnt upgrade the link ends as of yet, could this be the reason for getting stuck do tou think.

i will change the settings on the front to a softer setting sometime this weekend and see how that goes, if that doesnt work ill send you an email and see if we can work something out.

thanks,

Ben

hey guys,

so today i switched the front to the softer setting, i noticed that one of the stopper rubbers that goes on the actual swaybar was missing and was allowing the swaybar to slide about an inch causing the steering to get stuck to one side. i put a new rubber on it with a hose clamp around it and i noticed a very big

difference in the handling of my car and it also doesnt get stuck anymore.

thanks for the help,

Ben

I'm glad you found the issue.

That's a "Lateral Lock" by the sound of things.

Did you speak to Whiteline at all? I recommend you get in touch with him. If it was missing; I'm sure he'll help get it sorted for you.:thumbsup:

Cheers, Dale.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
