Alvin and Tony!

You guys bought your coilpacks from Amayama yet????

Think I need some as my stag just started misfiring/hesitating after about 4k..... it just happens every now and then though, could be coilpacks right guys?

Check coil packs or sparkplugs

Lol Aaron. You do realise that curries are at the wrong end of the scale with regard to average penis size. We aren't black brah.

I was going to let it slide.... but since you mentioned it...

It is likely your thrust bearing rattling around in a resting state; there is nothing wrong with this. They tend to do this a lot in Skylines, as the thrust bearing will sit fairly flush against the pressure plate, which moves it around on the input shaft retainer. The moment you put your foot on the clutch pedal, it puts enough pressure on the bearing to press it firmly against the pressure plate, making the outside of the bearing engage whilst the inside is held firm in place by the clutch fork. You can spray lithium grease inside (stay away from the clutch area) to quieten the rattle a bit, or you can try to adjust your clutch so that the resting state of the clutch fork doesn't have the bearing sitting as close to the pressure plate.

Yes changing pivot ball is box out. Unless you have some very special tools, a keyhole surgery camera and a f**kload of patience.

How do I do this?

I might try the grease option, or adjusting the pedal. Is it bad to have the bearing tight against the pressure plate all the time?

Try the grease first...that fixed my rattle sound. You basically want to grease the length of the input shaft retainer, because that's what the bearing is spinning around on and causing the rattle sound. You can adjust the pedal in the driver footwell, or by grinding some material off your slave cylinder pushrod / putting in a smaller rod.

As in simulatIng your foot resting on the pedal? It's not lethal, but also not fantastic for the bearing over time. There's no heavy weight on the ball bearings inside, but the bearing is not meant to be taking load 24/7...so it will likely reduce the life of the bearing...but it's a bit like saying it'll last you 100,000km instead of 150,000km.

I think my NPC bearing is fairly firmly pressed against the pressure plate and it has worn it a bit...I can feel it through the pedal. I have a hydraulic issue causing this though; the resting clutch fork pressure increases as the system heats up or climate becomes warmer.

Unless the rattle is very loud, it's nothing to worry about. As said, all Skylines do it. Grease will quieten it for a bit and you may have to do it again every oil change or so.

See? Pretty self explanatory

I find it funny that the whitest people on this forum are also the blackest, lol you birds and ric..

:rofl:

We all black...when the lights go out...

And pink on the inside...

Ah ok, thanks for that! I don't mind having to reapply, anything to shut the damn thing up.

If the grease doesn't fix it I'll just push the pedal down further, my motor will probably let go before the bearing does lol

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
