Wow, where to start...

this thread of links in the maintenance forum would be a good first call. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=35442

A biggie that you may overlook in your haste to get "going" is to make sure there will be no problem stopping!!

i.e. CHECK BRAKE PADS and FLUSH BRAKE FLUID and bleed brakes.

Hope you have the finances to afford to run a GTR as well as buy it....

CUT AS!

i took the day off work so i could be here for when my car came.. and it didnt even come!

i called and apparently its coming tommorow morning now.

i went shopping tho.. bought some turbolight 4100 oil, set of iridium plugs, coolant, injector cleaner, radiator fluch, engine clean and an oil filter :(

congrats anyhow..

just make sure it does *have* oil, has coolant, has brake fluid - then its more than likely you're not going to kill yourself or the car.

I still haven't done all the servicing for mine as it had the above. I figured if it was sitting there for 3-4 months going nowehere, another month of not being serviced going not going anywhere wouldn't matter. Its not like I can drive it anywhere at the moment anyhow.

I was just happy because I fiddled with everything, and everything *worked* (except the aircon... think gas). It's always those minor little things that don't work properly that give you the shits and can be hard to diagnose. That was the best part, knowing that it wasn't an obvious lemon :(

lol...

its ***in awesome man..

so so so clean..

i think somebody unplugged the afm so that nobody could flog it before it got to me.. cuz i thouught mine was broken cuz it wouldnt hit boost.. its all good now...

i think i should have bought a battery the other day :P

had to keep starting it with a charger.. .

it came full of fresh oil, the paint is perfect, sounds great up to 4500rpm.. (thats all i took it too)

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
