Hello,

I have an 89' 180sx with a ca, bored and modded a fair bit...

The engine has been rebuilt (previous owner) and certain things haven't been wired back up, not to mention some wiring issues that I think have just happened over it's 20year life.

Ok. Ill list my problems, if anyone knows anything on the topics can you please comment? Im clueless with wire's and locations of wires...

- Horn: Its wired through the steering wheel okay, but I cant find the wires in the engine bay that connect up to the horns in the front of the engine bay.

- Petrol gauge: Occasionally swings up to MAX for no reason? Then returns back to its correct level. Could this be an issue back in the pump? (used gtr pump)

- Clock: Clock in the dash doesn't work. Its just blank.

- ECU: Basically when I had it tuned the other week, it changed it's tuned between dyno runs, giving to different a/f ratio's. Could this be linked to it's bad idling as well or not?

I don't know where to start! Hope somebody does!

Thanks in advance!

Adam

The Fuel Gauge reads off a plate that is attached to the end of your fuel lever in the tank. if that is not contacting or bent it will read funny.

Assume the ECU is good. The factory tune in it wouldn't change. If you are using a remapped or programmable chip in it then it could be in the chip. I had the same issue with my CA sil180 as the tune kept altering it self and it tuned out to be corrupted data in the chip.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
