okay, I earthed the solenoid properly, dude before me did a bad job, the top line goes the plumb back off the bov, and the bottom line is blocked off, yet to take it for a drive, should I be getting 7 psi?

As in my PM response, there shouldn't be anything blocked off.

After having got the idle down to roughly normal on the Wagon, I checked the timing again this arvo, it was down to 100 so I bumped it back up to 200ish.

Current tank is 98 with some Nulon injector cleaner in it.

It now has more pickup again! :woot:

Slowly she is coming back to life.

Mik and I (mostly Mik) did some more work on the SkyWagon's Strut Brace today too. (I'll let Mik post the pics)

Spent yesterday putting my old car back together and primer filling the front bar so I can sell it and free up some cash for the GTR :)

Only have to sand and spray the front bar, new rear suspension and sway bar, top up fluids, full alignment and put tyres back on the freshly powder coated rims

Ok, done, its ready for ginding. :yes:

Here, its done.

Goodnight, see you soon. :closedeyes:

Did you tack the welds with the bar in place on the car? I only ask as I noticed the battery terminals were still connected - should be disconnected if welding.

We did tack it on the car...

We didn't disconnect the Batty. :(

Keep that in mind for next time hey?

The sheet we threw over the engine caught fire right above the fuel filter. :laugh:

Yeah it was a bit of a "Holy Sh!t FIRE!!!" moment. :D

Good info on the battery thing. Thanks mate.

I thought you were gonna say it may fry the ECU.

batteries can explode, step father was a bolier maker by trade and that was rule number 1 when working on vehicles. I heard it happen on a quad bike once at Goulburn tafe - some guys were doing a quick repair, when off like a bomb... seat was on, but still it made a mess.

Ahh.... i thought it was just danger of the gas igniting.

A boiling exploding battery in the face would be.... um..... bad.

Good tip to remember, thanks.

And i think i should get some protection, some welding mats and an apron.

And something to stop those hot bits going down inside my boots. Ow!

My rear speakers have not worked since i bought my car, the rear speakers are standard and in bad shape. I bypassed my stock amp using this method http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/203299-r32-factory-amp-bypass-diy/

After bypassing the amp the rear speakers still did not have any power, I then pulled out the head unit to reveal a real birds nest of twist and tape wiring with only the front speakers being wired in.

I printed off a wiring diagram to work out whats going on - http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Nissan-Wiring.pdf

So now i find that the nissan wire colours are all wrong and some doubled up according to 2 different wiring diagrams.

I have checked the wires going into all the speakers and noted down the colours, barely any of these colours match up with to the wires behind the stereo.

If anybody thinks they would be able to help sort this out please PM me.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
