hey, just a quick question, would anything go totally wrong if i reset the ecu in my car?

also correct me if im wrong.. disconnect negative bat terminal, pump the breaks for a bit.. reconnect negative and turn on again?

Correct.....nothing will go wrong...theoretically.

I saw you last night

ooo was I coming or going? Had to have Sugo Mi, then went to Freestylers. And it was good.

good news,

keep us posted :huh:

Cool, hopefully they sort it out and it doesn't cost you too much

Won't have the car back today. They need to try and source some parts tomorrow... so hopefully they can get it all and have her ready tomorrow.

urgh :D What parts does it need?

A relay for the fan/ac control, and some *bsskkt* for the wipers (phone reception was shit) sorta sounded like a switch...

Then hopefully the brake lights and reverse lights are just a fuse. And I'm getting them to have a look at the head unit. The dude at JB said it might be because we didn't have the remote wire connected to ACC. But... I dunno. In hindsight, probably should have gotten one of those adapter plugs :huh:

what, there was adapter plugs available?

probably wouldn't have worked anyway, your stock plug was already half butchered from the previous HU install.

I don't think it can be the remote wire, that's an OUTPUT from the HU to the amp. Maybe it is something to do with the hand brake switch wire that we tied straight to ground?

Hopefully they can fix it pretty easy tomorrow

remote wire is for an amp... is there even an amp in the car? If no its got nothing to do with remote wire. and yes adapter plugs is where its at, cause when the Headunit craps out or you need a new one have fun re-wiring it again :D

Yep very lazy...yawn...

Ah toowoomba not much has changed

I'm about to play my favourite game,

D/L pron at internet cafe, how long will it take til im escorted out. :)

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
