    So $50 for a second hand rail. $375 for testing of 12 injectors, and refurb of 6 injectors and 1 rail
  2. shubby0901
    After a heap of struggle, got the fuel rail and the car back together. Put 150km on it over the next couple of days. For anyone who has issues with their cars running rich, I would highly recommend this. The smell of fuel (and actual fuel being shot out from the exhaust) has almost disappeared. The car revs much smoother. A good cheap mod (is it a mod if its OEM part)! Now to think of the next thing..... Old vs "new" rail... Its just easier to get the bonnet off completely and work on the car...

    Its been too long since I've even looked at my baby...so yesterday I sent 2 full fuel rails with injectorsd for testing and a refurb of the 6 best injectors to make a set of good OEM injectors. They will be good till I get upgraded ones withc a tune...but first, some of the easy but essential things...this is step 1

    Slowly pulling the engine apart to get the fuel rail and injectors out...the car is running very rich so I want to get the injectors cleaned and flow tested...are there any stock bolt on replacements which people use? This is what the car looks like at the moment...

    Car is all fixed...well cosmetically. Got the original front lip completely repaired so its in brand new condition! Gotta stay away from the kerbs now. Headlights are polished but still have marks, one of the lenses is cracked. Have people replaced headlight lenses? Is it easier to replace the full unit? Also the actual lights arnt working. Hopefully just needs new globes...

    So, Returned to this happening to a parked car...someones backed into it and drove off. Initial assessment of parts to be replaced: Front Bar Headlight Grill Reo ...yay.....?

    Hi All, Has anyone incorporated the climate controls into a headunit for a R33 Skyline? I want to look at a double din system but dont have the space so I need to get rid of the AC control's. The third slot will be used for gauges. Thanks!

    Replaced the brake light switch with a new one and found the rubber grommet completely wrecked. TBH, this is suchh a stupid design. Anyway, changed it with a bolt and lock nut so shouldn't have this problem again. Pic: no switch installed...
  9. shubby0901
    Definitely check this. I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. The giveaway in my case were the fragments of old hardened rubber in the footwell. I did have a look at this. I also tested it with the brake pedal depressed, and pushed the switch in and out manually, no change. Based on the setup, when the switch is pushed in, the lights should be off but when manually pressing the switch, they never switched off. Its a cheap part, will try from a local Nissan Dealer otherwise order through Amayama.

    Took the car out after a week...was amazing to drive it again. Parked it and realized the brake lights are on...not sure how long I had been driving it with the brake lights permanently on, but drove it home and disconnected the switch. Time to order a new switch!

    Ive had no issues with it sitting once I get it hooked upto the trickly charger. Took it out for a spin yesterday and it started a bit rough (forgot charger since last drive) but drove perfectly.
  12. shubby0901
    Yeah I keep the tyres inflated. It sits maximum 2 weeks without moving, I try to take it out as much as I can...trying to save some money before I start to do some more work on this
  13. shubby0901
    Installed a CTEK MX5.0 charger today. The car doesnt get driven much so a car charger is a must as the battery dies pretty fast...its in need of a new battery too me thinks...
  14. shubby0901
    Drove the car after 2 weeks today....forgot how much fun it is to drive this thing...anyway it was washed, photographed and put back in the garage. Debating between keeping it as is or continuing to work on it.... Anyone know of any good devices to put under the tires to stop flat spots forming?
  15. shubby0901
    Bought myself a daily today...VF SV6 Wagon. Skyline going to sit for a while and be worked on....a good day but a sad day nonetheless. Skyline is not gone, she's just resting for a while...

    Pics for the DIY as old links are broken...
  17. shubby0901
    Awesome, you'll love it. Engine bay not sure but there is a Silver plate on the driver side of the firewall that is completely faded. You can barely see the text on it, I need to get it sorted out. Having fun driving the car in the rain, its so fun when the small slides kick in...

    Replaced power steering hoses with genuine ones today. Return hose, bottom clamp was a bitch to get off. Ended up just destroying it since I was replacing all the hose clamps anyway. Also did a full flush of the fluid, old fluid didn't look too bad though....hopefully no more leaks!
  19. shubby0901
    No real updates yet with the car but here's a photo of how it sits at the moment...debating between working on this or selling it and getting something else.....

    Took the car to Forge Performance, Adelaide for a few things. Fixed up a boost leak which was really really annoying. Figured out the manifold studs had snapped. Also heres what the second Pedders report said needs to be fixed: Rear Sway Bar Links Heres what Josh Forge showed me needed to be fixed: Tie Rod Ends Castor Rod Bushes Camber Arm Bushes HICAS rear joints Couple of other non-suspension things The second set of things to fix also match up with the first Pedders report I got a few months ago. Time to get to work...
  21. shubby0901
    Yeah the leak is from the joint where the hoses meet the reservoir. Need to see if I need to actually replace the hoses and if so how to do it/where to order from etc.
  22. shubby0901
    The report actually wasnt bad. They said PWsteering fluid leak which I know about, and rear sway bar links have perished. They said the vibration is due to a flat spot in the wheels so I need to figure that out. Borrow rims from my mates S13 and test if the vibration is gone.
  23. shubby0901
    Keen for this. Next time I'll check it. Going back to pedders tomorrow for another check. See how many of the issues they told me about earlier have been fixed and how many are left/are new.
  24. shubby0901
    This is possibly the case haha I've always had bendix pads and they seem fine for normal use. Next time ill try some others out and feel the difference haha
  25. shubby0901
    The disks only have a coating on them so it gets rubbed off when braking. This is good because it remains coated on the other parts of the disks so they dont rust when washed.... Yeah possibly, I drive around alot in that area haha Had bendix pads before, were pretty decent. Had no issues with them. The GCT's are also quiet so im happy.
