  1. If the wheel still runs "true", then it is most likely you have bent the stub-axle housing. That means a new trailing arm.
  2. It's a semi-trailing A-arm. Same as 1600 / 180B / 200B. If you lower the car you will get negative camber, and toe-out. The camber can't be fixed AFAIK, but you can get offset bushes for the pivot point of the A-arm to correct the toe.
  3. It does. But it also has 3 G-sensors (1 longitudinal and 2 lateral), and it also picks up on the output from the TPS.
  4. ATTESSA takes ATF, basically. If you had a clutch replaced, then they probably had to disconnect the ATTESSA system to get the gearbox out. So, probably needs a proper bleed.
  5. If the area around the fuel cap isn't damaged, you should be able to pop the panel back out from inside the boot. Might have a slight unevenness to it, but won't look as bad as it does now.
  6. But it's still a high compression engine - something like 10.5:1 . It really needs a higher octane fuel - Get some Safeway fuel vouchers and use the Caltex Vortex 95 RON fuel.
  7. I had some little dear sit in my car and steal the radio, while the (external) alarm went crazy. So now I have a Jaycar Screacher alarm (110dB @ 2kHz) mounted INSIDE the car. Just to remind any similar sweet things that they really were not welcome in my car.
  8. When the radiator is COLD, remove the cap and make sure you have coolant visible in the top of the radiator. Then start investigating where it is disappearing to.
  9. I have a set of the Whiteline adjustable bushes to suit a GT-R - $75 plus postage.
  10. You've probably accidently activated the "fog lamps" switch - it's the push switch just above the main lamp switch.
  11. Been there, done that. Even more than 20 years down the track, it still hurts sometimes. It's not a crime to cry.
  12. Perfectly normal The engine is cold, the O2 sensor probe is cold, the ECU adds fuel (mixture rich). Engine is now warm, O2 sensor probe is hot, ECU running 'normal' mixture. ECU enrichens mixture under high loads.
  13. I reckon. Check for stupid stuff like bits of lint wrapped around the needle shaft. It will probably free up with a liberal, but careful, dose of WD40.
  14. Pretty certain it is replaceable, but possibly only as part of a (camber) kit. Try asking at www.whiteline.com.au
  15. Simpler is to simply remove the throttle body (after removing X-over pipe), then remove 3 bolts holding the rail in place. I think, from memory, you need to pull some of the plumbing above #1, #2, but that will be obvious when you are doing it.
  16. At cruise (constant load), it will continually cycle between a low value and a high, but overall should average out at 0.5V. This is the software in the ECU continually adjusting the fuel to achieve a stoichiometric A/F mixture. It cycles becuse it is reactive, and is so stupid that it can never actually learn what the correct value is. Under load (boost), it will read high, becaue the ECU is programmed to enrich the fuel component of the Air / Fuel mixture. When you back off (snap throttle shut, either in gear change, or sudden deceleration), it willl go to 0V (ultra lean) because the ECU has shut down the injectors for a short time.
  17. It should be on the compliance plate - probably a FS5W71B, unless you've had a manual conversion done. AFAIK, they are unique to the R30; only possibility might be a SSS Stanza, but they are even rarer.
  18. For the 14 millionth time: IT'S BASED ON THE "FACTORY" FIGURES
  19. Does no-one know how to read - allblitz wants to install a AWD->2WD switch in his R33 GT-R, and needs to do it by inserting into the AWD circuit, near the AWD fuse. So, where's the AWD fuse in a R33 GT-R? Simple question, deserves a simple answer.
  20. I have one from a Stagea (RB25DET) that might suit. In Melbourne.
  21. It's no point pulling the hub, because the CV joints simply expand. You need to "punch" the shaft out of the differential. There is a machined groove in the CV joint - get a screwdriver or similar in there and whack with a sizeable hammer / mallet. It will probably be made more difficult by the fact that the sump is "floating" and has nothing to really hold it in place. It's much easier with the sump attached to the block, but you need to virtually disassemble the RH suspension to get the shaft in and out.
  22. Maybe, but it's a question that has been asked and answered a gazillion times this year. I believe it's a device required for time travel - but it is only available in Deloreans, and then only as an option.
  23. I offered you a FREE one when you first asked. The offer still stands - just come and take it away.
  24. The reason I raised the point is that in my experience the A/C is active at startup, UNLESS you pressed the OFF button prior to shutting down the engine. Have you tried that?
  25. I doubt you will have a problem with the strength of the units. You need to change both diffs (front and rear), and since S15s and GTS25ts don't come with AWD, there isn't a diff set available for the front. The only likely candidate is from the Stagea, but the difference in ratios is so small as to be a waste of time.
