hi y'all..

wasn't 100% sure where to put this, hope this area is semi-relevant.

anyways, here's the problem...

bay.jpg

my engine bay has colour everywhere!!

no that's not the problem, problem is i need to get to my coilpacks, and i know they are lurking underneath the middle cover plate there but i'm not sure what i need to remove.

And if i need to remove the Green part, how the hell do i do that?

Also, what should i be real careful of? Anything i could REALLY screw up? Car has a flat battery at the moment too.

any help would be appreciated :(

cheers,

chinny

oh, to answer your q's

1) remove the rail which mounts the engine cover (neo 6 piece)

2) remove the 4 radiator clamps to remove the green piece (u only need to remove up to (and including) the rubber piece. you can leave the weird cylinder shape thing there

3) remove the coilpack cover (note that there are 2 small screws at the back which u need to take out and some small clips

4) remove the coilpacks

the coilpack cover maybe a bit hard to take out so u might need to take off your oil cap too ^^

All I did was remove the red and blue part.

loosen then right green part from the throttle body and turn the pipe up.

then after a few minutes of manipulating the cover it will come off.

The first time you do it, might take you 30 mins haha

but that is how i get my cover off.

i just leave it off now.

ok, i've unbolted all the bolts for the rail bit... but the left hand side of the rail has like a pipe attached to it? the pipe thing the ends by splitting off into 3 plug type things.

and how do i remove the blue part?? they look like clip things around the black tube, not sure of the method to get them off tho...

consider my engine knowledge zero :D

thought i'd update... i had a go at the pliers thing... the main hose across the cover plate, i couldn't move (without worrying bout breaking something) but the little U shaped one i managed to wiggle it off a bit, but then there was like oil and shit, so i left it :P

anyways... i'm going to start a thread in the Vic section. Help in exchange for brewskis :) (read, 6 pack of choice) i don't want to f**k anything up.

cheers, and thanks for the help y'all!

Mate, sometimes you gotta get rough with cars...... They aren't a toy - most will handle the little amount of punishment your little muppet arms can dish out.

You cant let rubber hoses and the like worry you :)

Cheers

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
