Okay,

I start the car (the engine starts)

turn the wheel left and right 5 times, to what i think is about 20 degrees.

i pump the brakes relatively slowly 5 times.

i then tap the brakes once more.

I put it in 1st, and idle forward 5+ metres (slowly)

my hicas light doesn't do anything.

(yes, it stays on for a few seconds while starting)

is there a definite knack to getting this procedure right ? a trial and error thing ?

and can someone define '20 degrees' more clearly ?

... i need to check if my speed sensor is working (the RSM doesnt give speed!!!)

also, does anyone have a clue WHERE this little speed sensor is, and how do i tell if it's disconnected/ been played with ?

-Kym.

with the 20 degrees thing dont worry about that just turn the wheel (fairly fast left then right 5 times) and pump the brakes fairly fast as well you dont have to do it slow...

thats my tip... if it doesnt work keep trying

remember turn the wheel fast pump the brakes fast.,,

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
