hey guys, i still havent got my suspension problems sorted out yet

problem: car skips around on small bumps when going straight and oversteers alot in corners with light throttle

i thought it was the rear shocks but took it to pedders and they said the shocks were fine??

i've got stock shocks and stock springs and i cant think of what other reason it could be?

btw, my question is whether a pedders check is accurate? he said the shocks were fine but i dont know if he's right as the back end skips like crazy on bumps on the road. i can also feel that the back is alot harder than before.

i've done 4 wheel alignments so far from different places and still havent fixed the problem

taking it to a suspension specialist tomorrow to see if they can get it sorted.

If pedders are saying nothings wrong, thens theres a fair chance there isnt. If there is something wrong, then Id get a 2nd oppinion.

Out of interest, whats your tyre pressure like?

went to heasmans steering today

found out that the rear right spring wasnt sitting in the mount properly (180 degrees other way) and thus raised the right rear side by about 1.5 cm.

its amazing how no one else saw this when checking the car..

anyways, he said it could be the reason for the "roll oversteering" problem i have

getting it fixed tomorrow and hopefully will be the end of that.

top service over there and they really know their stuff

didnt even charge me today =)

You realise that you can take this further?

When Pedders give you the yellow copy of the report they're saying that the car is roadworthy and that it is safe in their EXPERT opinion.

Disgraceful.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
