Just in the process of replacing the water pump and cam belt in my RB25DET. Just need guidance on how to adjust the tensioner. Do I force the tension, or simply let the return spring create the tension? TIA

Autobarn has a Supercharge brand, which has a NS40 equiv (MF40B20L), at 390 CCA.

There was a similar problem many years ago. Turned out to be a crack in the cooler piping was opening up at higher boosts.

Have you used injector cleaner fuel additive? (My Pulsar was having trouble not stalling every time I pulled up at a set of lights. Threw a bottle of Nulon in the fuel, no more stalling.)

The fuel is at least 6 months old. May well have gone "off". Try some new fresh fuel first.

Yes. PM me any time.

Thanks for the info. Already have the bushes to install. Looking for a second set so I don't need to take the car off the road for an extend time.

You might be saving weight, but you will be sacrificing a heap of grip. Nissan raced these things in Oz, and they ran as AWD, not as RWD, and were basically unbeatable, even over a 1000k race (Bathurst 1000). I don't think Nissan would have spent $$$ developing the AWD system if its additional grip factor did not overcome the additional weight factor.

After a pair of front upper control arms for my R32 GTS4. The condition of the bushes is not important, as I will be installing aftermarket urethane camber-adjustable bushes.

At the risk of being repetitive, the O2 sensor will NOT be the cause. The ECU only reacts to O2 when up to temp and at cruise conditions. At idle, there is not enough gas flow; at normal driving, there is too much variability of gas flow. Have you done the standard diagnostic test to determine which cylinder(s) cause the rough running? (disconnect each coil in turn, see if the idle changes) Sometimes, depending on the timing light, checking timing can give incorrect information - the indicated timing is doubled, so you are actually running at 7.5 BTDC at idle.

Have you determined which cylinder(s) are causing the rough running? Compression test?

Isn't this a symptom of a problem in the AFM? So, maybe the colder weather has caused a gap to open up in a broken solder joint.

Check the pedal box hasn't broken. Check under the car that the pushrod hasn't popped out of the slave cylinder - points to a broken pivot ball.

... back to 110)

I had a similar "problem" in my GTS4. The cure - remove the instrument cluster, expose the speedo needle and VEEERRRRYYY carefully move the needle on the spindle. (Manually rotate the needle to, say 120k, lock the drive side in place and gently rotate the needle back to 100.)

Don't know if it's the same, but it should certainly bolt up to the RB25 in your GTS4, and should be strong enough to cope with the RB25DE engine. (I have a RB25DET in my R32 GTS4, using original gearbox - hasn't broken yet)

This probably won't have done you any favours. A wet connector block somewhere could be upsetting things. Try some WD40in all the connectors.

Off again. We'll get back with a new date.

Does the engine sound like it's idling too fast? The difference between 800rpm and 1800rpm should sound obvious.

Event has been re-scheduled - September 5. Those already registered do not need to register again. But, you MUST register if you want to show your car, otherwise you will be turned away (no need if just spectating).

The igniter modules have a habit of misbehaving when they get old and hot. Can you borrow a known good igniter from someone. (if you are in Melb west subs, I have one you could borrow)

How long was it in storage? Did you need to jump-start it after storage?

Well, COVID did ruin it! Event has been postponed to a date to be confirmed.

It has been brought to our (NDSOC)attention that there is a difficulty registering for the event for people who are not NDSOC members - the requirement to enter your membership number. As a workaround, you can enter "N/A" in that field, and you will then be able to complete your registration.
