not yet. the head has to come off for inspection of the valves and thats a fairly big job. am trying to rally together a team of mechanics to do it in the garage at home cos i havent got enough money to pay a workshop to do it. will have to take it from there, hopefully its just a valve which needs replacing in which case i should be able to get it fixed fairly cheaply. theres just alot of labour involved thats all

yes im torn between wanting the best for my car and being a tightarse cos i cant afford the best for my car.

But i learnt from the ZX - mates rates are not a good thing! specially with these kinds of cars - its good if u have mates that actually know what they are doing instead of mates that have worked on everything but an import. hehe so im determined to do it right this time even if i have to save doubley hard to get what i want in the bloomin thing!

i find it more expensive to fix other peoples mistakes haha e.g took ZX to service dept working fine but with fuel smell 3 weeks later pick it up because they had pulled it apart and did nothing with it - car barely worked just got it to another dept 20mins away. hmmm then it took $700 to fix the other depts mistakes and get it working again. refused to pay the other dept.

they were so lazy putting it back together that some of the bolts from the manifold were left under the windscreen wipers. Nissan workshop but not one that deals with imports - dont think they had a friggin clue what they were looking at - in that case they should of told me before they proceeded to pull it apart. Then they tried to hit me up for $250 worth of labour i just was a wreck at that time so my ex sorted them out and went absolutely sick at the guy - classic. we didnt pay it luckily just the $700 to fix the mess.

yeh well me macka shannon and paul are all going to attack it this weekend. along with tristan a guy i know from work whos rebuilt his RB25 and various other engines and knows his shit. fingers crossed it comes together alright

i prefer doing it myself, that way if anything goes wrong theres no-one else to blame but yourself. and if you take your time doing it its easy to do a professional job

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
