Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[B-rice]

Lucky^^^^^. I hate anything to do with the electrics of a car. Way too many variables.

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

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?

Finished doing the clutch but a new problem has came up.

The clutch slave is not long enough it doesnt push all the way.

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

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

Funny, my ex-wife said the same thing !!!

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!

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)

Awesome.

[gtr judd]

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

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.

[Got a Pulsar]

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.

[DAN00H]

OMG - I can imagine the scene with the sheet! I'm glad nothing bad happened

batteries can go pop if connected when using a welder.

[Got a Pulsar]

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

Good info on the battery thing. Thanks mate.

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

[DAN00H]

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.

[Got a Pulsar]

Ohhh nasty.

***Mental Note... Don't do what We Did.***

Lucky.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

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.
