Yea I will ;)

I've got power fc

The car is runnin abit rich at the moment too plus one of the sparkies isn't the best cause one of the spitfires shit itself and I had to run a standard pack for a day till I got another set of spitfires.

I dunno, prob the best thing to do is hand it over to a tuner, it's what they do best lol

And Terry nope I had no idea :$

HAhaha thats pretty funny, unintended humour is the best kind.

i wanted to say something snide and hurtful but to be honest i probably would have read it similarly as well, just not bit so quickly.

i think it helps in the NSW section that we know theres a chance we could actually meet half the people on here, looking forward to next sunday actually. Hope you sort out your retarded ECU by then and can make it along Matty :P

I don't understand the concept of a retune if no hardware was changed... if a cars health has deteriorated that far since the tune, it's probably dead.. This obviously isn't the case if you have a shit tune though.. Hard to diagnose, if it is hardware related, leaking hose, it will always have the issue...

Well I dunno dude, it's always pinged abit after the tune so ill get that sorted when i get sum time off work but this new problem only started once I changed the type of oil I use

Turbo does need a rebuild also

It could be that the ecu has a "summer" tune in it, an the ecu isn't adjusting the tune to the cooler temps appropriately and hence running flat and misfiring. And this is why a retune would help. But then you'll have issues once the temps warm up again.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
