need to get a valve replaced in a Tyre when I get home, any idea on how much?

it either the valve or the rim...

had a slow leak but the tyre was getting old replaced and the slow leak still there, so assuming valve or fked rim.

Last time I got a stuck valve replaced on the skyline it was free... They came out with their valve replacement tool, took off the valve cap, unscrewed the valve, screwed a new one in... Took 5 seconds, didn't even jack the car up or anything. Just replaced the 10psi of air that it dropped during the changeover.

If its the valve stem not sealing though, then thats a tyre-off job.

Also, if its the valve, then you shouldn't be losing air if you've got decent valve caps on.

Have a look at the valve stem when you get home and see if it looks new, a lot of tyre shops will replace the rubber stem and valve when they fit a new tyre.

Def not replaced.

Should probably look into some blue rays valve caps

interesting...but prob cheaper to buy a replacement ute.

could be the seal around the valve or a bunch of things, last time I got tires on the 200 they checked and the vale steam steal was cracked and perished, so it got new ones at the time.

and yeah they cheap and nasty plastic caps

Replacement ute doesn't come with a Free Instagram account and a boyfriend though...

Buy the Blue Rays valve caps, you can have all of these things and more.

LMAO!!!!

So last night I got some immunisations and threw a post up on FB taking a jab at Anti-Vaxxers... This morning I spot a Facebook Message sitting in my "Others" folder from some ransom person (friend of an international friend) saying "You won't be laughing when your children become retarted due to the governments lack of due diligence!"

1. Yes, she went out of her way to send a message to someone she doesnt know.
2. Yes, she's in an idiot.

3. Yes, she's "retarted"

Dat great weather, prime time to go and start enjoying a car...

..shame I blew the head gasket/cracked the block/lifted the head 7000kms after paying 12k+ to get the engine re-assembled last night!

the cycle cannot be broken

I don't think this was caused by you being Greg, I think this was caused by that abortion of a sentence.

LMAO!!!!

Or some aborted foetus's stem cells

Just saying. :D

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
