well this weekend auto box was pulled out all the pedals done dash cluster has been changed im ready to put the clutch in now but i have never done this before so is there anyone out there with a good walk through on how to do it and what else i have to pull off as ive taken the converter off the back and the auto flywheel thing and am not stumped in what to do :/

done my hand break tonight was a lot easier then what i thought it was gonna be i used a r32 handbreak and the front part of the r32 cable with the tailshaft out and Center console out and the carpet is already pre cut from factory and you just pull it back and cut it away and youll see a oval hole in the top of the tunnel from underneth there is a plate covering the hole i drilled out 2 spot welds and pulled the plate off and there was your bolt holes and big hole for your cable to poke down through the hole and i used 2 10mm bolts and nuts to hold the cable bracket done the r32 hand break cable has a bracket on the end of the first part of the cable you have to drill that off and it will fit right up in to the the laurel handbreak cable then all you have to do is drill the holes for the handbreak its self and work out where you want it its very easy

and today a friend come over just to have a look at the computer and everything on it as i wanted to see if it actually had a ems ecu like the guy i brought it off said as i looked at the ecu and seemed to look just like a factory one (G8) as my friend said it may be a patch inside the loom its self but we could not work out how it was going so good with just a stock computer and putting out so much power i then started to question the poncams and if it had any at all so we took the covers off to see what it had and was happy to see the tomei are real :)

he then looked at the timing and said he was shocked as it was fully advanced and it can be really dangerous to the motor i dont really understand any of it and how it works as the car drove fine when it was auto i thought maybe some one else could tell me more about it??? and why it would be like this the 2 photos show what he looked at and now i worry :/

i made myself up a greddy one with their engine adapter and thermostat oil filter re locator with all fittings (proflow) and everything for around $500

BIt expensive but you can customize how you want it like if you dont want a oil filter relocation you can just get a thermostat block. Heaps of options.

Also random question but can you snap a photo of where your pressure line for your power steering (the one that has the banjo into the p/s pump)bolts to your chassis after it comes out from under your sub frame. Cant figure if my lines been bent retarded or i just am trying to bolt it to a random spot lol

oh really yeah thats abit more then what i want to spend i was just gonna try and get a kit already made up with the filter relocation all with it

yeah ill get a photo for ya its not up in the air at the moment ill jack it up on the weekend do you just want a picture of where it bolts to on the sub frame?

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
