And think about your avatar at the same time.....

You make sense whitey, and when I get time I will test to see what voltage it passes, and then short cut it accordingly. Just thought that trail may have been paved.

We run a straight 2 1/2 all the way (Rules prevent anything bigger) and hence no cat. With elf Im not sure what the gas coming out the back is like... but the flames look trick and I dont care about the environment.

I have found before on the forums, while they are fun and generally informative... you can get 236.5 opinions on any topic you post. Which turbo is better, a HITACHI or PANASONIC. Which ECu is best.. Mac or Microsoft.

But ask which pin controls a boost solenoid on a PFC and silence....

Thanks for the input troops...

Got 19 GT-Rs to race... goal, have less in front of me than last year. That was 4.

The probe that goes into the cat is a temp probe that is designed to prevent you from overheating your cat.

Once the the temperature indicates an overheating cat, the stock ecu will put the ecu in limp home mode - and allow it to cool - more environmental stuff that as you indicated, you dont really care about too much (bad tom:p)

I had mine removed (high flow cat didnt have a hole for it) and just tucked into the chassis rail (there is a very handy hole in there) for about 8 months - with stock ecu and power fc fitted - and it made no difference to how the car ran (obviously, it only effects things when it gets too hot).

Not really worth welding in place, as if for some reason you need to swap out, or remove your exhaust, you are turning a 5 minute job into a much larger one - pointless really, but each to their own.

hope that makes sense.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Jarsky · Posted

      This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
