You don't shit where you eat from 5hiv. So is it the AC compessor gone?

haha

Yes the AC compressor is dead. I knew that was the problem could have just cut the belt off and drove around with no AC

Today...

Swapped my Spare ECU into the Wags. (didn't fix the Intermittent Fuel Pump Priming) :(

Replaced a Green Relay in Behind the ECU which apparently pretty much controls everything. (May have fixed the priming issue) :)

Chucked in 2 spare Old Coolant Temp Sensors. (bled the air out)

Cleaned the AFM. (again)

Pulled out and cleaned the O2 sensor.

Tightened a couple of Rocker Cover Screws. (near Exhaust Manifold)

Removed the Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield and found the main Exhaust leak. (Pretty sure there should be bolts in these holes) :/

More jobs for the thread repair guy

Just make a list, get them all fixed at the same time, so its only one callout fee.

Did nothing to mine today.... too hot, later tonight when the little terror is asleep, ill take off the rear bar, tailights, do the last of the vynil stripping and the door rubbers have to be carefully removed.

Then its ready for final clean and de-waxing, especially the edges and where the rubbers were.

The list of sht to do, to prep it for paint is very long. Lets see how far i get before the missus realizes what im doing. :w00t:

Tried to reduce scrubbing.. Tend to get a little bit on crappy roads... :( Moulded the front splash guards with a heat gun. Raised the rear of the car about 5mm.. Was going to wash it but I think its going to rain at some stage over the next 24 hours.. Fingers crossed anyway :yes:

Detailing the Swift - Typical bloody thunderstorm then hail ! (x2)

Had GTR up the top with the 34.

Started to rain, then hail. First put a doona over the GTR bonnet then Kicked swift out of garage and moved the GTR just as the 2nd hail storm hit.

Was over quick. Shuffling cars what a pain.

Also had Shawty's magna here trying to fix the rear drivers side window. Wont go up. Had to tape garbo bags over it.

Did this a couple of days ago

good work man! looks nice :)

today I changed the plugs and cleaned the vallycover/rockercovers :)

post-127489-0-99190500-1390102400_thumb.jpg

plugs 1 through to 6, kind of glad I changed them!

they look a ton worse in person :|

Thanks man,

Today.....

Pumped front and rear guards.

Changed front pads

Raised front suspension up 10mm

Bled brakes

Discovered 265 tyres on 10" rims fit inside pumped front guards

Still have soft brake pedal :(

Time to have fluid changed and pressure bled.

Agree with above. Soarer looks Tough! What are those wheels + sizes etc...?

Today SkyWagStag got her much needed new thermostat and Coolant after a good hose flushin'. :D But now my temp gauge in the cluster doesn't work. :(

Also played more AAC, TPS, Throttle stop adjust games and may have hit the sweetspot. No more chugga lugga when floored from a standing start.

Woot! I tells ya.

While out in the 33 I had some Dude in an Audi SUV thing rip past me in Fury as my relatively cheap old Skyline formed one lane before him. :nyaanyaa: Sucker.

18x10 +22 on the back, same size to go on the front soon, tyres are 265/35

Fronts in that pic are 17x9 +40s

I got overtaken down the near Uriarra by a silver one like 40 mins ago, I was doing about 105kph, Id hate to know how quick he was going.. never saw him come up behind me

and got some photos of the car :)

Hey guys. Just in Philip. Walking into the walk on center I locked my car and noticed that my indicator light is blown... is the bolb the same a s the headlight? If not dies anyone know what product code it is? Cheers

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
