Mate, I have a guarateed cure for you. It is a bit old school but it works. Here is what you do: - Get a large steel shacle. About 2 - 3 inches. - Then get about 8 or so metres of 16 guage insulated cable. - Start threading the cable tightly though the centre of the shackle and wind it tightly through and around, throggh and around, the entire circumference of the shackle. The idea is to imaginne the shackle as a circle and you are covering the circle in several windings (or turns) or wire. - Connect this wire in series with the 12 volt input of your amp. (add a fuse if you like). - Start engine, turn on amp, and listen to whine-free clear sound. If you have a massive sound system, which I suspect you do, you should use a higher current cable, and a proportionaly larger shackle. What you are doing is creating a large inductor to attenuate the whine. I had EXACTLY the same problem in my R33. I made one, and installed it in the boot. Like I said, it is very old school, but, it works. PM me if I have not described the process well enough, or you need more info. regards, Steve.

Another method is to use "Ezy-Outs". Ezy-Outs are a tapered tap with a reverse thread. You drill a hole into the sheared bot, then insert the Ezy-Out, and as you turn it anticlockwise, it bites in to the bolt, and screws it out. They are designed for exactly this circumstance (stripped heads off bolts). You can buy cheap sets, though name brands from Tool Shops do the trick. Good luck Cobber............... Easy to get broken bolts out with these gadgets.

That was happening on my mate's R33. It had after market front indicator assemblies on the front bar. It turned out that one of the bulbs had a low wattage bulb in one of the front indicators. The low wattage did not give enough current for the flasher to trigger correctly (it was flashing too fast). Fitted a higher wattage bulb (18 watt) and all fixed. Good luck.........Steve.

Excellent ! -
Hey Cobba. My 2 cents worth................... The first 2 x replies to your original question are on the money IMHO. Steve.

Jeez, anybody can type in [search "indicator".] Good on you man for helping the guy asking the question out.

The ants were like a conga line on the charger cable.............. I have a solution. Ants do not like walking on rubber, i.e. they do not walk on rubber. They will not climb up your tyres, but they found the only other way into your car............ along the charger lead. So: Wrap some rubber around the lead to block their path, or possibly sit the charger (and lead) on a rubber mat on the ground. No more ants! Note..... must be rubber, not plastic and rubber mix, not nylon, not silicon, just rubber. Good luck with it.

OMG He's good

Well done. Thank-you for the info guys. I will save my moolah for the good gear.
-
Are they of any real benefit? Anyone here actually fitted one? What was your experience with it? Would you recommend them?

That Charlie Cokcs is a Tool. The moustache bloke is a try-hard Tool. (not sure what is worse really) The young bloke seems to have some potential. As for the camera work... omg... disgraceful arty-farty ghey crap. I agree with the comments above; they are fence-sitters. Too scared to upset any local car names. Will I watch it again? prolly yes (just). Will I watch the UK series again and again and again and again and........... ABSAFREAKINLUTELY !

How would it go in a RB25DET ?
-
Yeah, no worries. Quite a fair price really. Enjoy your GTR!

I have a question:- Isn't a turbo timer an invitaion to thieves? I.e. (hot) Ignition wires easily available (no key needed) to anybody interested in having a fiddle, or maybe more???? btw It is a fair-dinkum question.
-
Yeah man. No question about it. Report it for sure. Well done for playing it cool and keeping the situation in-hand.

G'day and welcome Cobba. There is wealth of information in this Forum, so enjoy your time here. Good luck with the cruises :-) Regards, Steve.

Cant Select Gear After Clutch Change! Help
zonbie replied to battery's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
For the clutch not to be working, (not disengaging when clutch pedal depressed) it sounds like the spigot bearing/bush is jammed onto the input shaft. When you get a new bearing'bush, triple check your input shaft diameter with the inside diameter of the bush. It appears you currently have a mis-matched set.
