Jack stand on the chassis, tsk :no:

Word of advice with the HICAS light, don't just remove the bulb. If you ever need to get the car inspected, the pits guys know to look for that. All the lights should come on when you switch the key to on, if it doesn't they know you have removed the bulb. Best way to get past it is to wire that bulb into one of the other bulbs, so that it will come on when the key is switched on.

Strangely enough they aren't worried about HICAS being deleted, just the fact the light doesn't work. They're an odd breed.

Where's best for the stands? :S

Thanks for the tip on the light. In Dubbo it wouldn't be much of an issue. Most people don't even know what a Skyline is let alone HICAS :P . Good to know though as I plan to go to Sydney for some events along the way :)

Just FYI for next time, those aren't pressure plates. They are the clutch plates.

I love guys who are DIY and hands on :) So good work mate.

My bad haha. Like I said I'm not the most mechanical person myself, and I was relying solely on my friend to get all the work done. I was just a work horse so to speak hahaha.

Thanks for the kind words :) Hopefully I get to do a bit more myself, I love actually working on cars (especially my own) but just don't have the full know how to do everything on my own lol.

Hey with the Hicas bar on R34 is it as important as with 33 ans 32s because i thought 34s have the electronic Hicas unlike the Hydraulic ones that eventually break.Shed some light on me if im in the dark.

Hey, I'm a little confused by what you're asking. Do you mean is it important to replace to prevent it from breaking? If so, I'm not too sure, I simply fitted the lock bar to get rid of the HICAS I was want to get track my car (when I eventually get to it). I did not read into the 'reliability' of the HICAS in R34's to know whether they are likely to break or not. The only 'advice' I can relay in regards to that is that my car has just over 150,000kms on it and I believe it was the original HICAS unit. Hopefully this helps.

HICAS is broken from the factory.

Timmy which springs did you get? I have some incoming brand new bilsteins and searching round for a set of springs to match up!

I just bought second hand King Springs on ebay (I plan to fit coilovers at some point so didn't want to buy new).

I'm pretty sure King Springs only have one model number for front and one for rear so whatever that is sorry lol. I can look for pictures of the model numbers if you are stuck.

Hey all. Competed in a local 1/8th mile drag meet today. Was good fun, even managed to take out the win in the bracket I was put into.

Photo from setting up in the morning.

Will post some vids up when I get the chance during the week :)

Here is a phone video, I'm yet to go through the GoPro footage.

Excuse the bad camera zooming (friend doesn't know how to use phone camera apparently :P) and the commentating. The guys that run it often talk crap but it's usually amusing haha.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
