HI all

AS above i have just bought a Cefiro :inlove: and I have a set of HA TEIN coil over in it and was wondering what everyone was running on the front of their ceffy I have a set of 195/65/15 for now.

When turing into corners (some quicker then most) and my tyres scrub on the inner surround of the wheel arch and even on the middle if the tyre witdth ways

Rolling the guards is an option and willbe doing that but just wanted to hear anyone else's thoughts

*sing to the rawhide tune :spank:*

roll em roll em roll em....

ur just gonna have to roll emmmmm.... out 5!!!

:) actually 5cm should give u PLENTY of clearence :spank:

or get some tough neg camber going ;)

Yea the TEIN do have camber adjusters plus height and dampeners. but the main problem is that I have rubbing on the tyre width itself on the tread pattern some thing must be sticking into on a certain angle. I am getting it looked at today and fingers crossed it is nothing serious.

So out come the rubber mallet and taped up block - guard rolling here I come

If it's rubbing IN the car then get spacers- thats what i have on the front and the tyres are 215 on 8.5 rims i believe.

Hehehe, I still need camber :D

But yeah, if you go spacers, dont forget to get the longer studs to go with it, or you will be living life on a thread (HAHAH! get it thread, like what the nut goes on to! my god Im funny!)

well found the problem and sorted it ( with a hammer) a join of metal either from the suspension wall and outer gaurd wall joint like a knife edge and was directly above the tyre so when the suspension went up the tyre would hit this knife like egde causing it to scrape and cut at the same time.

I'll get pics tomorrow and post if i can to show what I really mean.

it had me pretty dumb struck

Hehehe, I still need camber :)

haha, you knob!!!!

I was going to ask if you still had your inner guard liners, (the plastic things).

The laurel has long wheel studs on it already which is good but im not a fan of spacers, but i think i will be getting the fronts rolled as it's mightly close all round.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
