Auto Electrician rang to ask where diagnostic port is.

Can anyone tell me where exactly the port is on a NM35 Stagea?

I just said "have you looked around the driver n passenger foot wells?"

Might be time for a new auto electrician.

That's what I was thinking. Lol. They come highly recommended around town and alot of business gave em a good wrap. Probably just lazy to look.

Hopefully your right.

But as pn-mad said it is driver side.

They reckon they have found a loom of wiring that is corroded really bad near the location of the battery with water pooling. They cutting it out now and going to replace that section and going to keep the old section to show me.

There have been a couple of these lately; it might be worth everyone checking.

Yup, turn car off remove key, open the fuse box in the drivers side footwell, and stick your hand down there as far as you can. See if you can feel water, or moisture. That will mess up your electrics real quick. I make a habit of clearing the crud from the plenum area, right down to where the drains are in the bottom of the guards. Mud and crud build up over time.

Got the Stagea back from the Auto-Elec yesterday, a big chunk of wiring loom got replaced and everything is running sweet once again.

Taken it for a few drives with no problem.

So great warning for people, make sure you clean out your drainage points regularly because its not worth the problems if you don't.

Good to hear it's sorted, definitely a timely reminder for everyone else.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
