the thing is I cant seem to get it unto the third white marker

Ive reset the ECU and placed the CAS on the centre

I check with timing light and the markers line up to the first orange line

I set it fully anti clockwise and it only moved to the first white marker

after a bit of driving I checked the timing again and it was back to the first orange marker...

so... I have no clue why its doing this

Where are you picking up the trigger signal for the timing light?

Timing on a Skyline can be a pain, this is what I do to make sure the signal is pure......

I take the #1 coil right off and lay it on the cam cover. I them stick a piece of insulated wire inside the coil (like it was a spark plug) so it makes contact. I connect the other end of the wire to the spark plug. I loop the sensor from the timing light around the piece of wire. That way you get a nice clean signal from only 1 cylinder, with no delay (light flashes exactly when the plug fires).

Hope that helps :)

i take the trigger from the wire leading to the no 1 coil, just before the coil plug

There were no problems with this a few weeks ago

since then I manage to pop an intercooler hoose and since fixing that, have not been able to adjust the timing correctly

Wo, there's a couple of unrelated occurances. Are there any error codes on the ECU?:P

error codes... uhm... dont you need a diagnostics tool to find that out?

Im just working with basics at the moment  

Not sure if I want to bother taking it to a mechanic because Im installing a wolf in a week or so

Well if it has something wrong now, it will still have something wrong when the the Wolf goes in.:P

true that hahaha

I meant I probably wont bother letting a mechanic take a look at it untill I take the car to get the wolf done. hopefully then they can figure out the problem and then put the wolf in.

Would any workshop or mechanic have diagnostic tool? because I went to nissan awhile back and they said it wont be compatible with import cars

But I was pretty sure this workshop that service my car has it and used it on my car before

      V37 Suspension change

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done.

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).
