how is it dangerous?

Im sure you are smart enough to figure out why its dangerous.

Does it kick down other gears as it should without delay? I reckon the box might be on its way out, perhaps drop it into an automatic's place and get them to take a look. But as Krishy said, the ultimate solution is to get a manual cog swapper.

Thanks guys, yer seams a manual box might just be the way to go. I'll probley take it round to the local ultratune sometime this week and get it checked out just thought id ask here first.

Hey guys can anyone tell me whether I'll need a retune if I put my rear muffler back on? Car currently has a straight through 3" system and the muffler is a big oval rear one. I just need to be able to start it in the morning without waking the whole town up. For next week anyway.

Het fellaz,

Bit of a nissan noob, had rx7's for years but slowly learning the nissan way... :) :)

I need some help with my new ride, i just bought an A31 ceffy fitted with an R32 RB20det and the wipers, temp gauge and rev tacho dont work. Bloke i've bought it off said they all worked before the engine conversion. Just wanted to see if anyone else on here has done a similar conversion and came across the same problem??

Or even point me in the direction of a workshop that does alot of engine conversion work that could possibly help me out. From what im lead to believe is the plugs from ceffy body loom and 32 ecu loom have different pinouts to those 3 things.. Got a mate helping me out who's an auto elec but we just need some pics of where the prob lies or some extra info.. had a few cracks at it but with no luck on fixing it.. aaaaahhh! haha

Anyone that could help out with some info would be greatly appreciated. i wanna see if we can get it done first without spending big bucks at a shop... Its the only thing stopping me from driving it on the road so im mad keen to get it fixed asap.

Hope you guys can help and dont mind doing so. Thanks in advance.

Jared

send >>Simon-S14<< a PM

he will be able to sort you out

Yeah thanks mate, got in contact with him and he's coming around early/mid next week to get it fixed.

Sounds pretty confident and i cant wait to get this shit sorted.

Cheers guys

I would say coils adrian, they've always been a weakness of holden's. Speak to Mark at K&A auto next to castle plaza, tell them sam who used to work there sent you. They've dealt with any problem you can throw at them.

  • 3 weeks later...

installed two gt 2860 -5s in an r32 gtr and took it for a drive tonight, 5 k's or so it was fine, til it started making this high pitched squealing sort of noise. freaking out we thought it was the turbos gone because of an oil block or something. had 3 of us look over everything in the engine bay for undone clamps, oil leaks etc... nothing

everything was put back on the turbos correctly, oil change was done before first run, (car had been on stands for about 4 months due to installing new clutch and turbos)

one guy that looked at said that because the gearbox was taken out the engine had to slide back, which could have crushed an oil line perhaps??

old turbos (stock) ran 11 pound these run 14 so its nothing to do with that? high pitched pressure squeal?

but we really think its the turbos, we didnt pre - lube the turbos with oil either. which some people tend to do.

car is being looked at tomorrow but if anyone has any thoughts or ideas help is definitely appreciated ...

Gauges on my Stag are freaking out.

Temp reads at full hot, fuel reads at full tank (when it's not full), speed wont read when driving, rev's just bounce on 1k rpm and wont really go over that when driving and the KM's are reading 999,999km when it should only have 60,000km on it (it's a digital readout)

I've figured out how to make the gauges actually work though at times. I just switch it to on without starting it, let the gauges settle to where they need to be and then start it. This seems to make everything work EXCEPT the km readout is still at 999,999km.

Something electrical I'm guessing and I'm not too keen to mess with electrics in cars ever again after a bad experience.

Any ideas?

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
