Nah, Lightwerkz have conversion brackets. It couldn't be any easier than what they make it. Except for all the baking the light open and the wiring changes, and so on.

If true, then it wasn't responsible.

I shouldn't think so.

No wonder there were some odd noises.

Pedestrian airbag bonnet light (desperate)
GTSBoy replied to Pete_Repeat's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
It might if they thumped it hard enough to set off a crash sensor, or damaged the wiring, etc. -
Does that element actually have to be there? Is it part of a cold climate options pack or something? Piss it off and throw the fat filter in?

New Sine Drive Oil Pump [NITTO]
GTSBoy replied to Blakeo's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Surely they will make their crank with either drive on it, and will also sell collars to mate to the new drive too. -
Seems to fit everyone else's R34......

Sigh. 5s of searching. It's Pitwork, which is genuine Nissan. http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/cabin-pollen-filter-suit-nissan-skyline-20gt-25gt-25gt-25gt-p-2034.html

Absolute RB20DET Headache (Stalling, Rough Idle, etc)
GTSBoy replied to NathaNZ's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
The idle screw is probably full of crap. Unless you pull these things apart completely, you can never be sure that they've go an air passage through them. -
I dunno about 4 doors. See one or two around the northern 'burbs every now and then. I still daily my 2dr.
-
Ooh. I would not have expected that. I wonder when they started saying that? It's been a few years since I last spoke to anyone at Vehicle Standards.

No, that's Victoria. SA has always been far more reasonable. Not necessarily easier, once you actually do change stuff, but definitely more reasonable. Hence my authoritative statements in my first reply.

This has all been thrashed about on here before. Viz. There was a link to a specific LED globe in that thread, but that's just one of a number that are available that are at the peak of what is worth looking at. The cooling solution,s arrangement of LEDs, adjustment options, etc etc are all major differences in the many options available. And all of them still fall a little short of being a good match for a typical H1/3/7 enclosure. Sometimes it works nicely. Many times it's just wrong in one or multiple ways., in $US https://www.4x4truckleds.com/crystalux-g11-series-led-headlight-fog-light-conversion-kit/ Note the price, in US$. These are not your $20 eBay cheapies. I'd try some of the better ones in my R32 projectors if it wasn't for the fact that even getting them installed is a misery.

Possible. Both the effects on the cam timing and the ignition timing will affect how it runs. -
Shouldn't need to upgrade the highbeams beyond putting Philips/Osram/equivalent +70 or whatever globes. The reflectors are a good design and they throw light decently enough. You won't do any better than that. The lowbeams can only be improved in one of two ways. Simply put the best globes you can in them (as above). Take the headlights completely apart and retrofit and entire Morimoto HID projector setup into them. This is major work, not particularly cheap these days (currency conversion), but gives the only real improvement possible. When simply upgrading bulbs, it is also a massively good idea to go to the effort to make sure that you convert your wiring so that the globes are powered via relays, instead of passing the globe power through the headlight and dimmer switches. If you were to put HID projectors in, then some more clever wiring changes would permit you to use a hi-lo HID in the low beam position so you will also get HID high beam from that light (instead of it turning off, like it does with conventional globes now when you go to high beam). It is actually essential to make sure that HIDs don't get switched off the way the R32 does anyway, because they don't like it and they have "warm up" time.

And a year down the track, another follow up. The UAS arms have not done well. They work, when new. But after 10000km of daily driving they have "stretched" so that the centre pivot that provides the equivalent flexibility of the GK-Tech arms now allows the arms to bend (instead of just twist) at their centre point. The amount of sloppy motion that this permits in the suspension is just gross. The car was really quite scary to drive. Very vague, as you'd expect. So, the GK-Tech arms went back on yesterday. As soon as they were bolted up you could tell that the suspension upright's movement was being controlled properly. No wild wiggly slop. First drive this morning - much better. Clearly the UAS arms were allowing quite a lot of random upright twisting, which affected toe angles and camber in the middle of every load change. So, my vote's still with the GK-Tech arms, by quite a long way. Even when they suffer some wear in a rod end they won't allow as much slop.

Yes, and the President of Madagascar is touting that a herbal tea they make there will cure coronavirus. You can't believe all that you see or read on the 'net. There are a few LED globe replacements that are getting there in terms of nearly being useful. But I'm willing to bet that you just bought some eBay trash. If you're spending serious coin on LED globes, with careful research, you're going backwards, not forwards.
-
You have made a mistake. Who told you that LED bulb replacements were a good idea?
-
The whole car is in the wiring diagrams in the back.

Absolute RB20DET Headache (Stalling, Rough Idle, etc)
GTSBoy replied to NathaNZ's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Not relevant on an RB20. Won't be a vacuum leak, as your idle is low, not high. What is the timing set to? -
The R32 GTR manual has all the wiring diagrams you could ever want. it is freely downloadable all over the place.
-
I'm not sure that's the question he's asking. But there's a bigger question. How round are the bores? Any taper? Any lipping at the top? All of these things need to be considered before thinking you can just drop another piston into the hole, regardless of whether the major tolerance on diameter is good. I am of the opinion that if the motor is apart, it deserves to be done properly.
-
It will fit the wheel. If the wheel is on the car, why don't you go outside and have a look/measure for yourself as to whether there is sufficient room for it to swing?

What are these please? Vq25 vacuum
GTSBoy replied to DodoStag's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
They're solenoid valves. One is damaged. They are probably for the charcoal canister purge, triggered by the ECU (because they look similar to that used for that purpose on RB25 Neos). Connect boost gauge to a small bore vac line coming from the plenum.
