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.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
