This is a good thing for your car is not a lawnmower.

When are you getting that Timing belt tension sorted? Hopefully before something breaks.

oh and also the O2 sensor for economy.

reset the ecu, and cleaned the afm, so far it seems like it fixed it :)

honestly - maybe next week, this week is going to be hela busy. I have cut down on driving the 33.. done 3k kms since I have had it...

its not to bad anymore rarely does it on idle, but im still getting it checked

Front End Knock is GONE!!! f**kin' Yay!!! :bunny:

Shock Inserts had Slight movement up and down inside the struts.

A 20c piece dropped in the bottom took up the slack.

SkyWagon is now worth at least 40c. :)

Tried to find what plugs I can use for my car today (yes I have searched the forum before anyone tells me to) I'm still really confused. I have found the NGK BCPR6EIX (platinum I think) or the NGK PRF6A (Iridium) seem to be the most popular choices so if anyone has had any experience some advice would be great. I don't want to use copper ones because I can't be arsed changing then every ~5000kms.

to all fellow skyliners ..... a new legislation has gone inplace ( not sure if its only act) but a cop was beside me for about 5 mins talking and admiring my car.. then at the lights he said be carful man from now on in the police can take your car if your doing something wrong...

didn't tell me if its only performance cars or not but yea, he said its an awesome car I have, sounds good, makes turbo noises, (compressor surge ) and attracted police ... he baciclly said drive like a grandma when a cop is around, so that's what I did....

I tried iridium and platinum plugs in the KTM and found maybe 10% longer life from those.

At 5 times the cost, its not worth it.

BUT thats a two stroke, and would be different in a car. I still think its a good example of how much better they are.

Which reminds me.. If you like to hoon, get a dirtbike with rego.

You can flog it all day legally sideways in the Brindies.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
