Changed SkyWagz' Diff Oil. The old was OLD! and definately a little low.

Nulon SAE 90 took it's place. (glad I bought a 4L bottle when I did the 33) :)

I wonder if the diff will whine a little less now? I'll let you know. ;)

Spent alot of time (Fiddly F**ker!!!) replacing upper and lower trailing arm bushes on the Wagz today.

Old ones were fairly goosed so Nolathane went in.

Was going to do the Panhard rod bushes too but meh... I'm over it. Another day.

Feels alot more solid and steady in the rear and yes the Diff Whine is still there but definitely better since the oil change yesterday.

Guess the new bushes may not help with the whine though. :rolleyes:

Rob,

Squirt in 60-80 mls of Pro-ma. Must be someone in CBR sells it.

magic stuff (unless it's a LSD then not a good idea)

This stuff? --->> http://www.fueloiltreatments.com.au/technical/MBL8_oil_additive.html

Sounds pretty good. Thanks Scott. :thumbsup:

I may try some Nulon G70 --->> http://www.nulon.com.au/products/Specialty_Products/Manual_Gearbox_and_Diff_Treatment/#.U28voIGSyuk

but The Nulon oil I've put in is definitely an improvement. It actually sounded a little bit better again today.

I put nulon g70 in my transmission a little while ago and it definitely reduced some of the cold 2nd gear crunch.

Realised after putting it in that I'd only put in half the amount I was supposed too as well. I presume it would only be better with the correct ratio

I got that result ^^^ in the 33 just by putting in Nulon Gbox oil.

Haven't tried the G70 in the 33 Gbox or Diff yet.

Today I resoldered a dodge connection on the Drivers Front Speaker in the Wagz and put the charger on the 33's battery for some love.

Pulled the Whole Steering column out of the Wagz today and replaced the old Bushing with a Fresh SuperPro Bush.

Steering is much more direct. :thumbsup:

Found where the Immobiliser unit is hidden, tightened up the accelerator pedal bracket as it was quite loose and took some Slack out of the cable with a couple of Zip Ties. :)

Also hit the Grey Interior Rearview mirror with some Black as I did on the 33.

Much Nicer.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
