When i was reading how to instal FAST, there was a post from you back in 04 asking them to check if your 260rs which was coming was authentic, so you posted your VIN

Body part meaning? Couldnt FAST be in ENGLISH! argh :D

certainly had my vin pretty handy for a post that was 15 months old ...and i`m pretty sure why .....

BTW, NRGIZD, if you want a wing THAT bad, you can always get a standard wing, i can get you the part code

Yeah l thought of doing that, til friend who imports parts found me a couple to choose from, plus a few other nice little customs things that should hopefully be paid for within the next couple of weeks and shipped over soon!! :);)

Jake, na mate, i dont need/use your VIN for parts i just only installed FAST the other day, so i read the thread and remembered it was there :)

I now know my VIN off by heart

StageZilla - Not as easy to ask "what options?". I just look through all the parts and if i find something that was an option, i note it. I dont think there is a "options" section

[ STAGEN ] - Mate, wanna hook me up with a rear wing as well? Id love to get one, pref in white ;) But i would rather the std swept back style wing over a 260rs one (suits a std kitted car better i beleive)

There's an accessories section under the general index menu. After you type in your VIN, click on the 6th button from left at the top, then select the accessories option at the bottom of the menu that appears. This will bring up all the accessories available for your vehicle (or what was available at the time, anyway). You can also see the entire range of accessories available for a model series by simply typing in the model series number (eg WGNC34) but without entering the serial number of a/the car, and then proceed as described previously.

Full part numbers are also available in FAST.....I think I described how to get them in the FAST thread.

Two part numbers for the above visor should be

G3810-0V500

G3811-0V500

Using the guide that SteveL wrote..

"Anyway using the timing belt example (below), go to the initial FAST window and make sure the model series at least or VIN are entered. In this case use R32 or (as I did) your VIN. Now go to the 'Part Code....Qty....Part No' Line and click on 'New', then go to the 'Part No' field and enter the first 5 digits of the PN (ie 13028). The system should automatically enter a dash after the 8.

Now click on 'New' again and a window should pop up with some info about the part (but not the PN....yet). Click once in the blank 'Ord.Qty' box to 'order' one belt (or click as many times as you want for the number of belts you need) - that number should appear in the box. Highlight and backspace to delete quantity. Either hit F5 or go to the 'Tool' menu and select 'P/No Search'.......voila, the PN appears along with a bunch of other stuff in the original 'FAST' window. There's also 2 new buttons in that info list - one gives basic model info, the other gives superceded parts info, if applicable.

"

Hmmm damnit I noticed that my DS is cracked, looks like someone has tried to remove it at some stage from the middle, looks like I'll have to try the good old super glue before getting a new one :D

on that issue, i gotta say i reckon they should be abit stronger as when i enter and exit the vehicle my first instinct is to grab to top of the roof sill edge and ive bent mine abit but not cracked em, as they have been cracked since i bought it :P

anyone have this problem? (i am used to driving a commodore though :D )

I dont grab the top thing, but i find that when others close my doors most people push the door shut pushing on the glass!!

i push on the metal part of the door below the window, but argh, i dont want to snap a window!

Yeah, I've gotta break that habit too - so used to owning cars with window surrounds, and using that to close the door.

I don't think the window will "snap," unless you give it a real push and aren't using any mercy to close the door.

Well, I hope it won't break... ;)

    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • 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.
    • 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.
