just need a belt and some ps fluid

then to jez to have a new surge tank made ( i think the low quality alloy of the tank made by profab= corrosion on the inside= blocked injectors?) the only thing i have not replaced

I can't see why the surge tank would be a problem. You may not be happy with Brad but that doesn't make his aluminium corrode. Plus I've been running one of his tanks about 12mths longer than you without any issues, there are plenty of them out there.

I think you need to look somewhere else. Feel free to point and laugh if I'm wrong

Have you got a fuel cooler Pete ?

It's looking to me that E85 does not like getting hot and when it does it starts to lean out the engine :(

As for the filings, could it be simple a case of he didn't flush the tank or lines ( if using braid that is ) out properly ?

I had a lot of fuel temp issues due to dodgy injectors and kept getting major lean outs, mine was actually due to an O ring swelling in my injectors after changing everything else... The fuel cooler does a pretty good job now and on track it keeps the pumps pretty quiet, however it was only fitted as the fuel temp was an issue due to something causing it, not just due to track use.

The amount of times i had my injectors out was silly, turns out they were the wrong ones! They look near identical side by side too.

Sorry if I was a bit vague this mourning Pete, I was struggling to hear you, the cover on my 6+ is crap :(

Thats interesting Mat, can you explain the o ring issue a bit more

I'm in the same boat as Pete I think, the longer I was out their the more it played up

1st session car ran fine, end of second session ( 1st passenger ) it was starting to break down the 3rd session I got like 5 laps then I had to come 4 session I got 4 laps, 5th session ( the one I did a 1.04.6 in ) I couldn't even do a full hot lap

I drove on to that session and the fuel was already 42deg when I came back it was just on 70 :(

I think my issue is fuel heat soak but I am very curious to know what the O ring issue you had was and how it effected the fuel for something else for me and Pete to look in to :thumbsup:

Is your mega pump going flat out at all times, Mick? I suppose on the track it would be going nuts anyway, the only time it wouldn't would be in the pits.

Fuel cooler ahoy!

    • I have no idea what the power steering control module is on a non-HICAS car because I've never seen one. But it is a fair bet that is essentially the same thing as on any other Nissan of the period with variable PS. So, Maximas, that sort of thing. It will pick up the ECU's speed signal off the "bus" (there's not really a bus - any consumers of the VSS are all just connected to that output on the ECU). The output should (most likely) be a PWM signal to give you an effective average voltage between the minimum and maximum values. You could possibly look at the HICAS part of the R32 manual to see what that range is likely to be (for non-HICAS, as it should be about the same).
    • Thank you for the info!    Did you get a 33 gearbox speed sensor to have your speedometer to work? Does the Speedo work but not accurate? 
    • Took me a while to answer that.... Funny thing is, the across the river neighbour did put in an airstrip, built a hanger, and buy a cessna, because strangely they aren't allowed to build a house on the property but there is no problem building an airport terminal They've used in 3 times, once for an attempted landing where they misjudged a little, aborted and missed the trees by so little that new underwear was required. Second time the landing stuck, then a few weeks later the plane left and never returned, so I don't think aircraft noise is going to be an issue. Funny looking back through the last few posts too, I've spent a heap of time lately redoing the roads  and drains so I guess it is a 2 yearly thing to add to the calendar. Those big drains did overflow in the rain about a month ago so that is pretty disheartening....just a reminder that you can't stop nature I guess.
    • So I’m having issues with my power steering. the obvious heavy and light and comes on and off randomly now it’s constantly heavy. I’ve read through forums regarding this issue and what I’ve gather is that it’s referring to hicas deletion. That’s the problem mine didn’t come with hicas.    I’ve rebuilt the steering rack, pump, changed the bent hardline on the rack and taken out the solenoid to clean and loosen up the actuator, applied 12v to get it moving. Roughly checked the loom to see if there’s any damage to the loom and nothing. Now I’m checking the wiring. I’ve tested the wiring to the solenoid and it’s fluctuating between 0.07v to 0.03v. Does anyone know what it’s supposed to be reading? 5v? Anyone one know how this all works? Is there a fuse in between? What else is it connected to? How does it connect to the speed sensor? A resistor fried in the ecu? Please help. It’s been years Thanks in advance 
    • that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.
