Sounds fun...

I'm putting tyres on mine on Saturday

actually came in before after doing one already, I'll have them all finished in a couple hours

Then going to redo them with silver paint instead of clearing the bare metal and having the same problem later on, masking them will be ever more fun

Trying to turn motor on the stand. spins around and something jams it against the stand.. that thing was my wrist.. fully dressed motor too.. wrist is all kinds of f**ked. Xray tomorrow. Who wants to give me a rub and tug?

Alarm key fob always keeps running out of battery, urgh. Will need to invest in some rechargeable or a stash of batteries now zzz

this plus every other electrical problem in my car.

re-connect battery after it goes dead in 2 weeks, alarm arms itself and you cant open any doors so gotta walk around the car for 15-20mins pressing the button to try and disable it. wish I could get removed, but brings down the premium :(

2 weeks... what else is there that's drawing power? you could test the current draw of the alarm / car with everything turned off

Since the battery has been dead before, it might have lessened capacity now... do you have a proper 3+ Stage Mains Plug-In Charger? Alternatively, you could buy one of those little solar panels which tickle charges when the car isn't running to keep it topped up :) Worked great for my dads old boat when we didn't go near it for a few months at a time.

Lol I've never come across an alarm that's ment to be good that has actually worked like it should!

I've had my siren literally explode battery's out of their holder twice which has caused it to be un-responsive to the key fob and the valet button inside.. I've had to cut the alarm out with a box cutter in the middle of the city to make it stop going off, I had it go off parked in my garage and it was unarmed which required I cut it out again to stop it.

Remote start neutral switch breaks every few months.. I could go on and on!

No wonder 'top of the range' viper alarms have lifetime warrantees, they break all the time.

You'll have to tell me what brand alarm to steer clear of when I get my next car!

Other week I'd discover that my 34 have a alarm and central locking when the guy I bought it off told me it's just a immobiliser :/

That was kinda handy.

Lol Grant, would do that but don't think it'll be such a good idea for Decca.

Eh, they'll be ok with duct tape, everyone knows it's the best thing ever.

Same here, battery in the siren exploded on my Viper, repaired under warranty. The USB rechargable fob is great though.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
