Hi Nathan, I'm going to wildly guess that your last name is Wong, funny because I have a friend named Nathan Wong...who has a S15 but no GTR ahha.

Great looking car, what mods are on it? Which part of Sydney are you in? members will definitely say hi with a wave, or a flash!

yeah looks like your headlights got nice and chopped up during compliance. random stab in the dark but if you can afford a GTR i think you might be able to afford this: go and get custom projector headlights off EVOXENON (just google him, or look on facebook) - he does these very VERY nice custom headlights. or you could have a go at doing them yourself - buy the morimoto projector headlight kits!

At work atm but will defs check it out, so these are the whole headlight arnt they, not just ballast and globe? Might not go to that much of a hassle =/ might just get a hid kit xD if I get the custom headlight the adjustor will still work?

yes they are the whole headlight BUT as i said you can just buy the ballast and globe and put it in yourself (with a bit of modification if you're comfortable with). Not too sure on the headlight adjustor part..does it work now? if so i can't see too much of a problem with why it wouldn't after some customs!

Quick update: Havent dont much with car, just usual wash, but there has been a problem that the previous owner said it would randomly stall, that being said it happened, but whilst I was driving sometimes it didnt want to go no matter how hard I stepped on the accelerator, and when it did stall at the lights, i tried cranking it over and it wouldnt start until i pressed the lock and unlock button on the car remote, we first thought it was the immobiliser, turns out it wasnt, then we thought it was the key barrel cuz the key could be pulled out it was so smooth, so we used the spare keys, problem still persisted, then made me thought, could be this control unit thing that came with the car, so took it down to IS motorsport for indy to look at and he pulled it out and car hasnt done this random stalling and losing power issue again :)

The culprit :)

indy said that the guy who installed it had wrong settings so that would have affected it, so happy car runs normal :) next up is replacing clutch :) asked for a quote on a HD clutch kit with flywheel too, or might stick with OEM, will have to see :)

Until next time

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
