Doof how about next time just one thread per topic please. No need to spam additional folders. Cheers.

I overhauled my calipers and fitted RB74s front and rear, with shims and grease. Squeal free here too. Well, the odd tiny squeal, usually when the discs are cold.

When you move the indicator stalk, do you hear it click the lug into place? If not, you may have busted something there.

Ok I've spent some time on this job since taking those pics earlier today. Right now, the relocator plug is fitted to the block, the hoses are fitted to the plug, and I had to pull out the battery, the strut brace, the alarm siren and the HICAS solenoid just to have enough room to work. Tightening the hoses on the plug was a major pain in the butt. The plug doesn't seem to fit as snugly as any oil filter I've ever fitted. If this thing leaks, I'm sure I'll be inventing new swear words. Cool, I'll take some more pics tomorrow and hopefully finish up.

I was considering placing it here. Unfortunately it just isn't going to work. Anyway, time to change the oil. I ran the engine for a few minutes then opened the sump. Shortly after, I managed to pull off the oil filter. Sorry about the poorly lit photo. The filter has been removed and is sitting face up in the centre of the shot whilst I worked out exactly how I was going to get it out of there... And here's my oil filter wrench. $2 for 4 at the supermarket. Worked a treat.

As it turns out, there is no need to remove the inner wheel arch. You can drill straight through and place a bolt there. For reference, of the four bolts coming through here, the inner two are the fitting for the HICAS solenoid. ps what the heck is a Buzz Spec? This is where I want to fit the relocator. I checked out the front subframe as a few guys (Ronin09, SydneyKid) suggested it, but the previous owner of the kit had trimmed the braided hose too short for me to place it there. Repainting the strut brace is on the 'to-do' list

Ok I've had this filter relocator sitting in my garage for 18 months now and the car is *ahem* overdue for an oil change. I've decided to bite the bullet and fit the relocator myself. Tools used so far: 14mm socket shifter/adjustable wrench (because I don't have the required 23mm spanner) plumbers tape Here's a few pictures to start. No, I haven't finished. I began this morning and hope to finish tomorrow arvo after church. This is a UAS oil filter relocator purchased used for $150 (RRP $395! ). The seller said that he fitted it to his car, forgot the o-ring on the plug that meets the block, and it leaked as soon as he started it. As it was a pain to fit, he decided to just sell it. I wasn't sure how I was going to mount it, and I thought I'd have to remove the inner wheel arch to access the engine bay wall.

Thanks Richard, much appreciated. The existing one was butchered by a ham-fisted auto elec that had never seen a spacer.

Assuming you did want an RB26 with sequential turbos, I'd be surprised if you could fit the extra exhaust piping in there. Think of your traditional lowmount single setup, then try to imagine fitting another turbo in there? Ah well. Whatever makes him feel good about himself.

I tend to agree however it should not be limited to cruise only in that case. Regardless, I had similar problems with my car. The stuttering is most likely to be one of the AFMs with a dry solder joint. As the dry joint moves the resistance increases and as current is constant, this causes a voltage drop. The voltage drop confuses the car as one sensor is making sense and the other one is reporting very low airflow (for me it dropped to ~0.4V whereas the other AFM output was 3.0V(ish)(for comparison). I'd have a go at Steve's DIY on AFM repair. You'll need an iron with a long tip. If you have a desoldering tool, even better. Do you have a mate in Brisbane with a consult cable?

Todd thanks for coming back with your results. I've added this thread to the maintenance FAQ. Would you mind editing your first post with your final results?

Meguiars Shine Magic on the thin porous portion and car polish on the gloss black portion. Worked a treat. The Shine Magic takes a few applications to keep a lasting finish. Also worked wonders on my internal door handles.

Good to know. Last tank I managed a high score of 511km with pods, exhaust, stock turbos/boost, stock ECU. Yeah you drive like a granny and end up with nice economy, but no-one buys a GT-R because it's economical...

First buyer fell through. Second buyer doesn't answer pm, so back for sale

Hello mate. What suburb are you in please?

Hi dude. Pickup from where please?

Rezz: I love the idea of putting a chart up. Easy reference, easier to remember. Same goes for replacing it with your own work. Nice Sewid: Thanks Kris! I wonder if it'll work on my PDA. Make meetings more interesting BB: Richard what course are you studying? Is it an elective or a separate Cert IV or something?
