Nice work bozz. Sumo

Saw that picture in the People mag a while back..... pretty neat huh?

Mine are a bit sticky.... Give it a try and tell me if it works Sumo

You've checked the globe? Did you replace it with a known working one? sometimes you need a magnifying glass to see a break in the filliment. Could be a dadgy connection to the back of the head light. I cant comment whether skylines have a LH and RH fuse for the headlights because I haven't needed to check, but if theother ones working its normally a problem with the globe. Sumo

Mate, I dont wanna stomp on your pride, but how can an altenator be producing 14 volts before the engine is started? Sumo

It was only an auto, but I would still love to own it..... As for user text - bah, this wasn't any ordinary V8

I would have loved to stretch its legs. But I cannot disrespect someone elses car without getting the ok from them first. Sumo

I got the pleasure of driving a 351 ford mustang 69' Mach 1 model today and its surely something I've never expirienced before. The bone shaking grumble of a carby 351 in a smaller coupe was really doin it for me http://members.iinet.net.au/~skyliner33/mustang.jpg This is a pic of one that is exactly the same. Sumo

When cranking a good battery should not drop below 10volts, when started you should have 14-14.5Volts back at the battery. Starting a cold car is alot harder then starting a warm car, so if your starter is worn - she will struggle. Also once the car has been running for a while the battery will store a surface charge, That will give the starter more amps to deliver when cranking - so if starts easier. The surface charge disappears after 1-2hrs

Takes bugger all to recondition a master cyl. But saying that I wouldn't give advice on how to do it to a skyline as I have never done one.... only nissan patrols and such

Shouldn't be to hard to get off....just pull ur passenger side boot trim off and have a look at whats required to getting it out. Should be bolted down at the base. Sumo

Is it the stock turbo? How much boost are you trying to run? Is it the stock ECU? The more info you give us the more luck we might have trying to think of possible reasons. Sumo

As gohan said, its not just as easy as swapping bulbs. Hella make a H4 xenon kit for cars, maybe have a look to see if it has a ADR, and whether you can fit this to a standard car.

i thought the way the poms talked would be enough to drive anyone mad. You might get hooked up in a new TV show over their like miriam.

NGK coppers are usually worth around $3.40 or so a plug. Sumo

2fardown : lol, i couldn't bring myself to putting paint stripper on my skyline

Amen.

I have never taken one out, but if those motors are anything like blower motors they can be rebuilt fairly cost effectivly. Depends whats wrong with it, if its burnt out tho it would be a throw away Sumo

like to know how you kepp ur engine bay that clean.... I have been recommended all sorts of things to get jap grime off and none do this job

have you made sure its charging properly.... should be at around 14.1-14.6 Volts. Sumo

If you can find out the Cubic Centimetre of the clearance volume on the rb20, go and find the stroke are bore of a rb30 NA and voila. R = Bore / 2 (work in centimetres) ~ = Pie (cant find pie on the character map) H = Stroke (in centimetres) ~R^2 = A A x H = Volume (in CC's of the swept volume of the piston) V + Clearance Volume (of RB20 head) = Capacity (of one cyl) Capacity / Clearance Volume (of RB20 Head) = Compression Ratio Its pretty easy if you can get it explained face to face.... But to work it out you have to know all your volumes. Sumo

the rx7's have a lot of cooling issues when used as a race car dont they? When we studied the rotary engine at tech, the teacher seemed to tell us that it was pretty much a incompatiability in design to try and run water around the housing, and just rely on oil to cool the rotor.

Idle problenm sounds more like a airleak into the intake plenum (Uneducated guess)

Just be careful you know what your doing..... Last thing you want to do is blow up your new ECU. They dont like shorts or spikes very much, and you shouldn't be using a conventional test light (you need and LED test light) around them.
