Hi Guys,

Before u flame i did search and was unable to find solutions to my issue.

Ok well i have just purchased a S1 R33GTST and noticed the following...

It seems like something electrical is causing my rev tacho 'OEM' to jump around like crazy, hopefully this is an common issue and can be sorted without too much fuss, i bang the dash a lil and goes back to normal but i dont like beating my car ahaha.

Also can some1 hook me up in Perth area with some strut braces to suit?

Much thanks,

Smitherines..

Also, check my job on restoring the headlights :-)

Pretty stoked on the outcome.

I originally intended to keep the lights on the car but found 1 had water in it so i baked and re-sealed.

I have coated the lights in 3 x layers of UV protectant to avoid this happening again.

Yellowing = GAY

Yes it is the throttle sensor, my car runs like sht when im mucking around and forget to plug it in!

you will find some broken wires somewhere unless you have some ecu that dont need it (doubt it)

Also see a vac line missing, there important for proper turbo/inducion operation

Next job's to fix...

Rev tacho has finally stopped working totally, so i will remove in the morning and suss out.

The hi-cas light comes on now after about 10mins and stays lit, i have searched around and found that it could be due to the after market boss kit, if anyone has pointers for this help me out please. Tried the diagnose function but couldn't seem to get it in that mode??? help...

But after re-calibrating the TPS the car runs like a hot curry :banana:

Also i will say that it seems i have had no help from many on here which is a little of a let down :thumbsup:

Thanks mate, i found this vid the other day and tried to go into diagnosis mode but it didnt do it, i've tried like 10 times... i've just bought the car so i might have a look around n see if the is a there is a tomei hicas lock unit on the hicas unit...

Any reason why no1 is helping me out?

Regarding solder joints, i had the tacho out this morning and couldnt see where solder is used, did you have a rundown of this??

Thanks again.

Oh and i think i know maybe why its not going into diag mode, the after market steering wheel????

iirc you may need to get a hicas adapter / boss kit..

it took me a few tries but you have to turn it quickly to engage it.. but if you have done that it could be the steering wheel.. the above video the guy has an aftermarket steering wheel so it may be something else..

the tacho may be a wiring issue also

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
