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.

      350/370Z CD005/9 seem to be a good choice, but you'll need to address the diff ratio issue.

      RB gearbox options

      By rbs30 · Posted

      What is the go to gearbox these days for a RWD RB? Back in the day VG TT boxes were cheap and strong. Seems they are as expensive as an RB25 box these days. What are the options without remortgaging the house?

      Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.

      So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
