check all your connections to the afm

check to see if nothing is unpluged mate

kool will do that cheers

also forgot to mention that when driving the hicas light will randomly flick on then straight off n the steering goes funny for that split second.

Another thing too is that when driving under light throtle (under 3000rpm) my car starts to like jerk.

This all happened after that guy started to take my headlight out but didnt n then put it all back together while he worked on it out side while it was lightly raining...and its fkn anoyying the shit out of me :P

also got hungry's half price when i woked at city cross (had nothing to do with the ''realations'' i had with the manager) :yes:
hehe, yeah, i forget the store managers name now.... the big lady....

apparently this certain ''friend'' of mine had a baby....

Stop humping the boss! :D

I am up for that

i need my plugs changed but dont know how to regap those f**kers

what the???? changing and gapping plugs is like the easiest thing to do on a motor, cant beleive everyone on here whinges like its so hard :yes:

whats the point in owning a modded car, or any car at all for that fact, and want to be called an enthusiast when you have no idea or no will to get your hands dirty and learn...

Fark me, workshops must make a killing out of some of you guys

end rant

you can't exepct everyone to know everything about their cars, thats why there are workshops around, professionals who do it every day. I bought my car knowing f**k all about skylines, but i know a hell of alot more know, and just because i need or ask for help for some stuff doesnt mean im not an enthusiast.

I know how to change spark plugs and have done it on the 33 but have idea how to gap - I've only heard of people talking about it but havent done it myself because it hasnt been necessary for me yet - we all got to start somewhere to gain the knowledge!

Instead of ranting I'm sure you can explain how to gap them yeah? :D When the time comes I'd just SAU-search for google it anyways.

I agree. Gapping plugs is the easiest job on earth.

However some people are not comfortable with doing it themselves until they've seen it done. Then they'll be kicking themselves because its so easy.

You simply need feeler gauges. Head to Vilis tonite with tool kit. I'll bring my feeler gauges and show you how to do it. :yes:

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
