How does a well maintained, Fresh (7000km) old Engine crapout in such a big way under normal driving conditions?

Scarey.

It will be interesting to find out just what's up.

Big single while its out ;)

NTY i like my twins.

TL;DR

I didn't run it much after hearing the knocking. Adrian just had a look at it seems to have gone after 5-10 minutes worth of running. Either way it will get towed in tomorrow. Incoming new Koyorad Radiator (Kyle, AC gear? =) i mentioned to Adrian you had some) and a few other bits and pieces. So it seems everything MIGHT be ok. But i won't hold my breath.

Fitted the drivers side control finally

I'm very excited to see no bodgy repairs done to the side. I have seen some build threads where they weren't so lucky.

It's amazing how much crud can build up under things.

Was very similar in under the rear bar of the Wagz.

Despite plenty of stuff I need to do to the 2 lines, today using some radiator hose, a hose clamp and the lid off a tin of corn, I made a plate for behind the steering wheel so the horn on the Wagz will work with the R34 wheel. (previous effort worked untill I turned the wheel) :laugh:

Haha engineering at its best :)

Its pretty filthy but cleaned of pretty easily, I'm going to get a pressure pack made up and touch it all up if the rain holds out next week, fingers crossed.

I got the passenger side off, the sikaflex was it better condition so it was a little more painful. I couldn't get the passenger side control arm on before the rain hit though :(

Capital Auto Paints in Fyshwick are Great for making up colour code matched Spraycans! I have and do recommend. :thumbsup:

It's always intrigued me that Skylines have a pair of Feeble, Anemic little horns.

I replaced the 33 horns ages ago to something a little beefier. (cheapo pair off Ebay) but still better.

It seems the R31 only has one little weak sauce horn!

Well not anymore! Hahaha... This arvo I wired in my old R33 pair, the original R31 and another I had spare.

Might still be Weak but now there's 4 of them! :laugh:

Thanks for that :)

I have always used the autobahn jobbies, but only ever got metallic. The first can was great, the nozzle sprayed beautifully, the second can (months and months later) was terrible. The colour was good but sprayed like white. I swapped the nozzels and then it was sweet.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
