hey welcome.....

Im hoping that Blue GTR isnt the same one i was goin to put a deposit on...

Because i dont think were gonna get off to a good start... :rofl:

Good luck with the car, and hope to see you round.. :P

heh well it might just be. you didn't call the guy and ask to put a deposit on it only to find out the new owner was gonna take delivery that same day did you???

:) its a very very very blue gtr.

i've checked over it a little more thoroughly now and i've found a few bits and pieces that will need rectifying though... :)

left low beam likes to decide when it shines and when it doesnt and the frustrating "auto passender door lock" thing is even more crap cos it also decides when it wants to do its thing. i just hope i won't have to rewire the thing!

the factory boost solenoid has no vaccuum lines going into it so i'm led to believe its prolly running 4-5psi... its not as quick as i hoped, having poked it around a bit over the last few days... still nothing that a boost bleed or electronic controller wont fix...

but its in a good state of health other than that. its been driven hard, but feels like its been maintained with a bit of mechanical sympathy. compression test came up all good.

i gave it a few new filters and a fresh sump of mobile synthetic gold stuff today and its running much smoother now.

interestingly, its got 300zx airflow meters and a little sticker behind the kick indicating its probably been retuned (its all in jap apart from a date... '97)

i'll keep yo all posted as to how she goes at any rate.

i hope to meet you all soon!

welcome dude, hope to see you cruising around soon

mine does that too, ive found youve got three options, hit the light gently with your fist, usually works, or play with the switch a little bit, (turn it on and off a couple of times), or you could hange the bulb, not a hard job on the left, but the rights a lil bit harder

hehe...

Yup very blue. sounds to be it...

I called him the same day that you must of picked it up (as he said) to take it for a drive and give him an offer...

But.. seems like your having fun with a few lil probs... bu then again... its a second hand car, its gonna happen..

Well good luck with the car... and just a tip... Get the rims powdercoated white...

:P

heh yeah i expected a few little dramas... but its cool. fixing them and personalising your car is half the fun!

yeah considering getting the rims powdercoated in a shaddow chrome-ish sort of colour. i think white would be a bit full-on on such a blue car!... but we'll see.

first things first!

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
