looks so hectic mat! dont think mine will look that professional hah.

will still be good though :)

Haha thanks man! Only started so far! More to come... Compressor and airlines to go and possibly some A/C haha

AC is needed in mine...

its like an oven in the arvo.. so bad haha.

Yeah i am not sure if the cable to the shed is big enough to support it yet but a mate is a guru and is sussing it out for me :D We also need to hook up the pump to the 5000L water tank on the side of the shed that is just sitting there not being used!

Guys I need some help! The first time I drive my skyline at night and I've copped a defect :( they have written:

-uncovered pod

-height

-exhaust

-e85 fuel system

-modifications without an engineer cert

Firstly i don't even have an e85 system, I just have a surge tank and 044 in the boot, will this pass simply because it's not what they have written?

I have a airbox to replace the pod, and I have a new quieter exhaust solution that is waiting to be welded in.

Will it need engineers to pass? Or just fix airbox, exhaust and height? Anyone know what will happen with the fuel system? If anyone has stock 33 springs I can borrow it'll be amazing too. Pls help a brother out :( very devod

how much was the fine??

I believe any mechanic that does blue slips can pass you? so change it back and youll be fine? as for the fuel... just hope you got a good mechanic?

did you get an epa?

A very nice bloke named Adam Foster is helping me out. The cop didnt fine me, he was a nice man just doing his job I guess. Adams put on a standard airbox, legal exhaust and stock height springs that he has borrowed. The surge tank and fuel pump are removed so hopefully thats enough, I dont believe I got an EPA as that wasnt written on the defect notice.

Okay I need some advice on what could be wrong with my car

It has a misfire that is getting worse and need to get it sorted

Started out only doing it when hot and would drive along fine until it missed ( sounded like the traction control working) and would come up with the check eng light on the dash

Has gotten to the point now that it will miss or just feel slow all the time but the check eng light doesn't always come on

I'm thinking plugs or coil packs but want to know for sure before spending money needlessly

Any ideas

Or anyone got some spare NEO coil packs I can try?

Coil packs are notorious for failing in our cars man! I did my factory set at around 120000km from memory... The splitfires have been good since then!

If you need to borrow some to diagnose mine are pretty easy to get out... Car should be back at my place over Xmas i hope!

I had a missfire since at high boost but that was the coil plug loom that failed due to excessive heat (Plugs went all brittle and fell apart) so check that at the same time.

yep if you need a locomotive that needs fixing im the guy to call hahaha.

yeah but the kits are lean toos, not free standing. so gotta wait till lysaghts open on the 6th before I can sort anything.

pretty annoying

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
