it was when I first got the car, wasn't running! the radiator was snapped in half

I also had to do the lower control arm in mine when I got it, they are a bitch!!

and rob, my rpm stops every now and again, any ideas? my mates 33 did the same thing

Somewhere between the engine and your eyeballs. :P

I'd try checking for loose wires / dodgy earthing. Could be in behind the cluster etc...

Not hard to pull out.

(once you've done it a few times) lol

Fibreglassing repairs today, all done.

The instructions say mix a certain amount so you can get it on before it hardens.

DIY Miks painting skills mean i can mix the whole tin and get it on good, well before it starts to harden. job done. :thumbsup:

I was feeling so good until i remembered... the only way to get fibreglass off is a cold shower. :O:blink:

Strongly recommend not letting your Skylines get so low on fuel that the fuel light comes on.

+1

I don't allow my GTR get below a qtr of a tank.

Listen or learn.

But just don't breeze over good advice, especially if you have modified your car.

got no mods, well no power mods, and I still don't let it go under a quarter

I have never had my fuel light on, and the gauge has been like 3mm under the empty line... and I sure as hell don't want to see if the bulb is broken

Make up your mind

I just made sure the intake is the same height as stock, and while i was there i could see how it gets the last bit of fuel.

Kinda dodgy baffles try to keep it near the pump, but a good corner or steep hill and it would run away and youd get air in the line.

After pulling it out and f-ing around trying to re-seal it, i still smell fuel inside the car sometimes. Have to do it again better this time. DIY LOL :huh:

Make up your mind

haha, it was heaps under when I got the car, didn't drive it, got a jerry can... im talking about I wont let it under while driving :P

but good spotting :/

As I said I've seen my fuel light come on once in 10 months. I normally fill up when it hits E, but my sender is not correct and I can only fit in 40-45 litres

It's like fuel cut.

It can do engines in if it occurs at the wrong time

Bit dramatic I know, but it happens.

(your better of stopping spark than stopping fuel)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
