hey guys,

easy question this time, looking for double sided tape that will actually hold something on (bit of body trim has lifted, gunna refit) unlike the crap you buy from supercheap.

would like it super sticky, thin and not to expensive.

buying online is fine or somewhere in/around newcastle

As above 3M double sided tape, has red backing paper. If you want something that isn't going to move pretty much ever try out 3M's VHB 4991 double sided tape (i believe it's what is used to hold the go-pro camera stands etc to cars/boats etc...)

I don't think you can simply get this one from bunnings, but i may be wrong as i get it directly from 3M

where's the cheapest place to get it though, ebay, bunnings or online somewhere, anyone got some shop prices for comparison to online?

Its a roll of tape :P Just pay what it costs ya tight prick LOL!! :) :)

So i dont start a new topic.. can anyone tell me if this stuff works on dash boards? EG under the steering column for turbo timers/ gauge control units?

Iv tried so many things, command strips, double sided tape.. HOT GLUE! (this worked the best)

But eventually everything has fallen off. I even cleaned the area with thinners to try get the dash oils away. One way or another it falls off in the heat.

dash boards are always going to be likely to loose the grip of the tape if they are constantly in the sun . thinners are a bit much to clean your dash lol harsh.. try wax and grease remover , thatll be a little more friendly , you wouldnt want any cloth streaks in your dash from thinners :P .

Tried sikaflex? http://www.sika.com....to_products.htm

it's what they use at the factory when they need to hold on bodyparts/trim without screws/bolts/stupid plastic lugs etc.

**edit: good luck EVER getting it off though

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
