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:

Edited by D.I.Y. Mik

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

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

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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
