haha i realsied the whole pm thing jsut after i posted, and yeah in the end the s1 would likly be cheaper then a rebuilt on either mine or yours, yeah fixing clutch is needed, lol, and thats a lot of stuff working on lists atm, good stuff to

cheers

alex

Plus you learnt u want a new clutch now (or at least adjustment on yours) hehe

If a S1 turbo works on your car, datto's sounds like the best option. I was also thinking Alex, if you were lookin at mine for a rebuild - might as well rebuild your own hehe

Interesting about the LT12 Alex. Do you know if that means that it would be running in Open Loop permanently since there is no O2 sensor to get readings from?

It sounds like John has a long week/weekend ahead of him. He was saying today that he has to work over the coming weekend.

you at trojan today??? which car is yours??? i have no idea i was puzzled that the micro has no o2 sensor, do you run a LT of some kind 2???

Alex,

Was on the phone to John taking up too much of his time yesterday :-P My car will be going in next Monday whilst I'm overseas for some tasteful mods (thanks Sl33py :-P).

As for the LT12, no, i'm running a PowerFC. I was just quite surprised and as you say, puzzled, that it doesn't run an O2 sensor. I would think it would mean that the tuner is then required to do a true 'full tune' instead of relying on closed loop mode for cruising. I've had no experience with Microtech's so perhaps others with LT10s etc could inform us if its just the LT12 without an O2 sensor?

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR 路 Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I鈥檇 finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I鈥檝e owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I鈥檇 love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I鈥檝e explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
