So i received a canary last night and am just curious about a few things.

Staggered wheel widths as i understand are a no no, correct? (i.e 7inch front 8inch rear)

Removal of the stock wing with LED brake light means i have to install a 3rd brake light in the window. Thats just my assumption but makes sence. Any one clear that up for me?

Finally, I too have been cursed by the dud drivers side electric window switch, so my window doens't go down at the moment. The Officer didn't pick me up on it just thought the inspector at licensing might?

Cheers,

Brock.

PS. if i could borrow anyones stock 33 rims or the day of inspection it would be greatly appreciated. money and/or "the carton" can be arranged.

For the brake light yes you do need a 3rd one in the middle.
A third brake light is compulsory on vehicles 1989 onwards, no more than 1.8m from the ground.

Mine never worked ever since I bought the car, I better get mine fixed soon :P

Cheers for info!

Another quick one, I've heard people getting done for not having any water in there windscreen sprayer. My concern is on of my jets is only shooting one stream instead of two, are they that picky at licensing??

Cheers,

Brock.

Yes, they can pick you for having low water in the windscreen washer bottle.

If it's too much hassle to fix, leave it and see how you go. The chances of them picking it are pretty slim but just be aware that they may ask to see it working.

The nozzle won't be hard to clear. My advice is spend 30 minutes to give it a go and cover all your bases.

nephew is going through a yellow at the moment, they will check the center brake light but you can get them from repco . car must be 100mm of the ground at lowest point with 5 people and a full tank of fuel (cant believe that one), no staggered wheels. if you have a FMIC it must be permited

Staggered wheels shouldnt be a problem as some cars came out of the factory with staggered offset wheels. I may be wrong, but im sure they are fine as a mate passed the pits with staggered wheels

FMIC's don't need permits

With the staggered wheels/tyres unless it's stupidly different there shouldn't be an issue, I passed quite a few times with 235/45 & 255/40 & they never mentioned anything to me, the only reason the yellow sticker didn't come off was because I was waiting for mods approval....

Nephew has to show permit for FMIC before they will take sticker off. saw his sheet of defects.

he was running 18 * 9 on back and 18 * 8 on front. had to remove them

Sweet deal. Water jet fixed, Installing brake light during the week. Might try get past with the staggered wheels, wrapped in fresh rubber too.

Any one have any idea about the electric window issue? Also I didn't think about this one until driving last night. I have blue lights in the foot area on drivers side and passenger side, should that be an issue??

Cheers,

Brock.

When I had mine done it had to be securely fixed. Others I have seen have stated that they had to be meshed.

Power window issue is probably the same deal I had with mine (units may or may not be similar between 32 and 33.. I don't know). There's a little relay unit that's usually screwed to the door frame, that was dead, got a replacement from a wreck for cheap.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
