the toothpaste tip sounds ok , but ive tried autosol, cut an polish, and they yellow comes back pretty quick in my opinion . think ill try the wet paper , maybe the toothpaste too , yellow headlights sh|t me ...

hey lads , i am currently runnign bcpr6ES .... .. today i welded the hole in my exhaust and it was actually cracked right around the pipe, reset the ecu and gave it a petrol treatment .. alas for now its running well again. but i did notice both of my cooler pipes at either side of fmi are badly weathered and cracked on the rubber joins....fso a few things do yet , but i feel im on the right track, im installing a new boost controller tomorrow as it may be some part of the problem too cause my boost levels were all over the joint .... so yeah many thanks for your help peeps.. ill keep ya`s posted..

need quick help here , i need to check the operating condition of my coils , are they fkd is wat i want to know, how do i go about properly checking them with multimeter etc , and whats the process to doing so .. step by step ??? sorry if this is a faq but i need to find out asap without going through all the usual forum rigmoral and BS ..... many thanks SLM ..

ok , next 3 questions, how do i correctly check the voltages of my coils ??? howi check for boost leak ?? and does anyone know of a good mechanic on the northern beaches in sydney ... most i have been to are complete theives , most of the work i can do myself , i dont need some tosser charging me 5oo buks for a printed out chart with all my issues , just some guidance to help me with my process of elimination, i have access to coils, standard ecu, etc etc .... leak in exhaust im welding up tomorrow, ecu reset on saturday , things seem ok today with the car, i wound boost back up to around .9 bar and it was close to its normal performance , could it be that a bunch of very minor issues have contributed to a very out of sorts tune, eg the century 20 chip will only run good when its running .9 bar + and everything else is on par.... good fuel good plugs etc etc and sorry my mistake . i have used BCPR6ES and they were rubbish imho lasted about 2k if that... then i swapped to BCPR6EY11 asnd they went good for around 4k , anyway im thinking ecu reset , compression test, after i sort exhaust hole!! get boost psi right ,check coils .....wat more can i do ????? whats putting a standard ecu in going to tell me ??? that i dont know ,?? im no mechanic but im not stupid either , i grew racing dirt bikes and building paddock bashers , so i have some idea ,.. unfortunately for some of the theif mechanics on the north shore in sydney!!! failing all that im considering getting a 10k loan and rebuilding engine , getting the turb high flowed, and living happily ever after , after all ,, i only want a good strong, mildy powerful, and reliable engine , i dont wanna compare dyno sheets etc etc and be able to crap on aout how powerful my car is , simply speaking, and with no offence meant to those who want to do those things ... after all, my engine does have 140k+"japanese" on it so it would be getting close to crapping itself ??? it came from japan with hicas disabled, 18`s ,cut springs, speed limit removed , big FMI , 3.5" right through , etc so im picking its had a hard life !! love my sky !!!

and would resetting the ecu be the equivelant to hooking up to a dyno , resetting it would take me back to optimum settings wouldnt it ? hence whats a dyno gonna do for me on a standard ecu, i can borrow my mates ecu , but where does that leave my one ??

cHEers cam, im thinking, clean up my iridiums, weld hole in exhaust, maybe swap dump pipe over wind boost back up to .9 bar and then reset the ecu ??? when i got the car 2+ years ago it went like a fkn rocket , these days , like an absolute bag of crap.... the reading ive done on resetting the ecu makes me think if i sort out the niggling issues , exhaust hole , rubbish plugs and possible exhaust restriction then reset the ecu , ive gotta be looking a whole lot better then what i am now ?? agree ?? .. only because when i first got the car it was sweet as , since then its gone downhill slowly, am i correct in thinking that a dyno tune cant do much for me with a remapped chip ? what will a dyno tune do for it , in its current state , nothing can be altered in the chip can it ??

hey guys im new here and hoping someone can help me diagnose wtf is going wrong with my beloved skyline... short story is , i keep fouling plugs , its running like shit , some plugs drop off before others , eg theres one or two in the middle of the line that foul very quickly ....ive tried all manner of plugs , the very expensive ngks lasted about 20k then the bp9es`s from memory , not even 2k , best result was with the ngk ones with the little split in the top. So im getting them again and starting all over ..... basically i want to know a few things ,, i have a small hole in my exhaust and its a bit crushed and fkd up just at the bottom of the dump pipe , will this have major effects ?? its not bad but its not round anymore, more oval shaped !! + the small hole right at the back just before it goes into the rear baffle ... so you know........ im running stock RB 25 with pod filter, greddy frount mount, standard snail, 3.5" straight through exhaust , standard computer with remapped chip, apparently this cannot be tuned , I cant afford a new computer atm so i need to just get my car running good as best as i can ... but i am wanting to know what you guys think i should do ... what setup u would run with what i have ...??? ok is there any truth in the fact that this chip may be setup to run on jap fuel or something , whats advice can anyone give me on how to improve the performance and reliability of my car , i dont wat a massive powerful blow the doors off when i hit boost , just a nice ballsy machine that is consistent etc... im ripping the plugs out again , dropping oil, i better get this hole sorted out and maybe a new dump ?? theres just so much misinformation about these cars its doin my head in something fierce ... and before i take it to a mechanic who instaly assumes im loaded cause i drive a friggin skyline id like to try find whats causing my ongoing dramas , lastly how do i correctly check the voltage of the coil packs and diagnose them , what readings should i be looking for and the method of doing so ?? also how do i diagnose the state of my turbo itself , and how do i find out if i have some sort of boost leak ?? because it just feels like crap to drive , no response really just very sluggish ..... ahh the pain of it all .... thanks in advance mike
