Just made a cold air partition for the 'line, much better throtle response when the engine is warm, especially bottom end off boost - in fact, I cant notice much difference from when I start up to when I have been sitting in peak traffic for 1/2 hour. Well worth the effort.

The reason I was starting this thread is that I now have a template for a cold air partition (took about 1.5 - 2 hours till I was happy) and if anyone is interested to copy it, please let me know as the template is the hardest part. My template is designed around a FMIC, but it wouldn't be hard to modify for a stock one. I also have some metal backed foam left over - enough for one partition if anyone is interested, let me know, although the cost of the foam is very cheap, about $10 for half a lineal metre

Mr Hyundai,

The partition sits just behind the pod and fits in where the suspension tower meets the inner guard, on the other side it goes around the outside of the little black emissions canister. I got the materials from clark rubber, just metal backed foam and I also got some 1.5 inch thick soft rubber tubing used as a heat shield for pipes, slit it down the middle and slot it across the top of the partition to seal with the bonnet. Not sure what the tubing's real name is but at work I have heard it reffered to as armourflex. It must seal pretty well as the induction noise from the pod is reduced a fair bit, but it still growls when you poke the loud pedal:D

Adam33, sorry dude, I'm not much of a 'tech drawer', but I might copy it onto paper and post it to you if you want. Youll just need to trace it onto card first (to check it fits and maybe modify) before cutting. If you dont want/cant catch up to copy it, just drop me your details at [email protected]

hi Steve,

Mate where do you live.

I wanted to know what kind of filter you are running at the moment. I downloaded another template recently and when i looked at the cut out i did on the car it was too close to the guard and the filter didnt even reach that far, so the box would have started after the filter finished, leaving the filter in the engine bay with nice hot air and the box in the corner, it was classic.

if you are near me I can rock around with some cardboard and trace the template onto it and then leave.

what you up to on the weekend etc. or have you already got a cardboard template

elaborate tell tell, actually maybe a few of us could meet up quickly with black texters and make copies. how does everyone feel about that.

thats a good idea, i wouldn't mind a copy either, i have got one now but it came with the car and isn't a very good fit, i think it would let alot of hot hair in.

I live in Willetton, the pod is a K&N. If you want to call around is cool, just drop me an e-mail or better still a pm, and I will reply with an address and phone number.

Unfortunately I will not be going to the cruise although I wish I was.

Anyone who wants a copy is most welcome

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
