D.I.Y. Mik

Sometimes i wonder if the cops give a sht your not a family with kids Or a rich or important person Seems like young blokes are supposed to take care of it themselves, but dont get caught doing it, cos thats illegal too.

Hey mike, Ive got a 20 with a 25 turbo, fmic, pod, 3 inch exh etc Before you get a boost controller, see what boost you are getting, you may get 10-11 psi. A boost controller is a waste of cash for an extra 1-2 psi (25 turbo ceramic, 14psi max) I spent $400 on a sweet boost controller before i got the new boost gauge. oops. Lots of bits can be used on a 20 and 25 like if you get a good turbo, or fuel pump, you can swap over later. Just think about what you can use on both motors, and all the other mods to your car, keep the 32.

Clark rubber, foil backed foam sheeting.

There is a cheapish alternative to some hoses, The fairly straight ones you can use straight hose, for bends theres brass elbows, you can even go and look at the pile of hoses at supersht, there are useful sections that can be cut out. The rest, Nissan. some hoses have to be just right or they dont fit.

Ok, closed the throttle completely, re-adjusted the idle on the aac(iacv) now its fine, responds well to power loads and no hunting. Tps must be ok too, thanks for the exact info on how to test. That info should be saved for others. or put in diy/faq. I read somewhere that SAU is the best skyline resource on the web and if you search you know its true.

Yes always had idle issuesWhat exactly is the IACV? is that the AAC? Theres no diaphragm in my AAC, just a soleniod, spring and valve. it must be the old type.

If they get busted, the government rather than crushing the car should part it out to sau members, We will gladly strip the guts out of it and laugh at the owner while he watches. We dont want the reputation these guys give us. thats why the cops target us. If we dont want to get hassled weve got to do something about it. So any info on these guys would be good, make it public and pass it on to the authorities/media Personal vengeance wont help our cause either (id like to). If this gets madia attetion, Im going to make sure the media knows that SAU members are responsible drivers. any suggestions on the best way to do this?

Spring was inside solenoid side pretty sure, thats where i put it now, well see how it goes.

Thanks thats helpful, but.. How do i test the tps? (.48 v from where?) Also the idle does seem to adjust slowly (delayed reaction). So theres an issue somewhere. Can i clean my O2 sensor? Ha! this is like science, the answer to one question leads to two more questions and so on ad infinitum. Ps. thanks for help.

Id love to know too My 32 has a sensor with chopped wires, the radiator is out of some other car, and its had an auto to manual conversion. So really i dont even know if 32s have them to begin with. I do know from mucking about that the sensors on the manifold are for the ecu(2pin) and dash(1 pin).

So i cleaned out my aac valve and its still hunting at idle and dipping a lot with power loads(fan, steering). When i first got this car i didnt know about setting the idle on the aac valve and i used the little screw to open the throttle slightly. Does the throttle need to be fully closed/sealed for it to idle properly? Is this in effect an air leak as far as idling is concerned? Also the computer idle screw is set to full low, all the way counter-clockwise.

Whoops! that little black bit in the middle goes the other way around!

Heres a pic of a 32 gtst AAC guts. It was filthy and needed a good scrub with carby cleaner. See the dodged up spring, im replacing that of course. Note also one plug and one pipe.(cant see pipe in pic) ?So when tuning the idle i wonder if i unplug the brown plug like you said (only one)?

Maybe this kind of thing on the back of a shirt or front of hoodie. You could have R32, 33, 34, designs to choose from. I cant draw so thats my idea.

The two places i know of ( i havent looked much) are Enzed and Aushose, they have those speedflow fittings and all that anodized stuff for braided hose. Revolution racegear have lots of heat insulating sleeves and things you wont find anywhere else. I always use the phonebook cos one place probably wont have all the things you want. I hate driving around fyshwick for an hour looking for one little thing. good luck finding all of it, it can be a real pain getting all the little bits together, i noticed you can get kits for GTRs but not GTSTs (dammit!) on the net.

Im no expert but this is my experience. In hindsight, a good way to start would be to investigate how and where the sensor for your gauge is going. For example, my water temp gauge sensor cannot be fitted easily where I want it to because the thread is too close to the thread of the hole I want to put it in. Ill have to take off the manifold so i can drill and tap and get all the metal shavings out. Knowing the thread size of your fittings and sourcing adaptors before you decide on a gauge would be less of a headache. Oil These are another option for oil, much easier to get to the filter area than under the manifold. Water, im going to put an in line adaptor in the top radiator hose. They are 38mm or 1 1/2' for the R32 and are available at autobarn, supercheap, etc Fuel Boost So, get your gauge/s. And tools and materials. Make a wiring plan because it can get confusing especially if its already a mess(like mine). Route your wires, do them all at the same time, its easy to add an extra one or two if you need them later. Once you get a bunch of wires in there it gets harder to push more though. Know where you are drilling to avoid disaster, i have a good dash in the shed to check where to drill, and the one in the car can suffer my mistakes. Solder, heatshrink and good plugs are good to use to get it sorted Mounting in the vent, need a slot for wires. Perspex for the console, sprayed black on the back. A bit messy, these wires need to be sorted. All done

blah blah Yay! it works thanks to "not a pulsar''

blah blah blah

I really like the SAU logo, we dont get it on ACT stuff but i think its nice with the red blue and white, and its got that GTR badge look. New designs are a great idea, you will see all the awsome artists come out hiding.

It was a cat once... empty now.

I have lots of photos for a tutorial but i only know how to post thumbnails. I need to know how to put a photo then text then another photo and so on. Im not good on the computer so detailed instructions would be good. Ta.
