Went over Dickson today.......

FAILED lol which I knew I would. Got kncocked back on minor things

*horn wasn't working (which it did on the way there)

*upper inner control arm bushes

*radius rod bushes

*1xCV boot in front was split

*both rack boots were split

*tyres

And an advisory on noise and height. They are both right on the legal limit

So not too bad at all

Looks Tasty Anfanee. :)

Today I received in the mail...

An Old School Metal Datsun badge that may or may not end up on the SkyWagon and a Spare R31 Auto ECU which may or may not fix the intermittent Fuel Pump Priming issue... Both off Ebay, both very cheap.

I cut up, painted and fitted a piece of PVC pipe to straighten out my air intake.

Played multimeter games with the TPS to try to fix an acceleration flatspot.

Disassembled and cleaned my spare AAC valve and installed it, had to bleed the air out of the cooling system, fiddled with the TPS some more and checked timing again. (still needs more TPS fiddling) :/

Nice straight intake (removed the weirdass bends)

something very interesting just happened

Dad comes home from work saw me working on my car asked me whats wrong and did i found out what was the problem with the car, i told him off that its not his business and its my car i will fix it whenever it breaks down and i dont need his help. Next minutes he packs all his tools and locks them :(

Lucky i did managed to get a few things off the car. But now i need to find a new job and buy some tools and finish my car.

im yet to use dads tools, im sure he would do the same... I don't get why he spend so much on his tool and tool box, he owns a brand new fiestia ST and doesn't work on it, tho he did mention something about restoring a 1955 f100.

I must admit. If my son talked to me like that I wouldn't just lock my tools up. I'd be packing his bags for him and kicking him to the curb :P haha

I feel your pain about a new job. Hard to find decent work with a decent team. Goodluck with the car - hopefully it can come to the next cruise.

Agree with you RoseBud. :yes:

Hmmmm... Make peace with the Old man mate, He has the mechanical Knowledge, the Tools, the ability to make life hard for you and Your Balls in a Vice. :P

as my Dad said many times over... You live under my roof, you live under my Rules.

So the next question....

Do i order new seat covers with the money from the bike? :woot:

these ones...

nengun-4323-06-nismo-skyline_gtr_r32_sea

Are they leather seat covers? Or an actual leather seat? They look nice regardless.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
