hey all,

just posting this for reference more than anything

saturday just gone, me and the missus were heading down to jamberoo with her family for the day it started out ok until i accidentally closed my back door on a bag strap... i realised what i had done but having that electric mechanism in it, it had already started pulling itself shut... after that it wouldnt open and upon further inspection i found the bag strap had actually gotten itself stuck under the latching mechanism... as to not damage anything out of frustration or panic i decided to leave it... the next day, with a clear head i decided to investigate the problem... the only way to access the latch and motor is to carefully take off the top plastic followed by the moulded hard carpet skin... once that was off i could clearly see the actual linkage that connects the handle and the latch had fallen out... the only thing that i can think of what caused the problem is when the cable went to give the door closer some slack to tighten closed the cable had become too loose and popped the linkage open...

in 15 minutes i had the problem fixed and the skin and plastics back on... so if this happens to you dont bother sending it to a mechanic and getting charged an hours labour its a pretty easy fix

hope this helps

Cheers

Rick

Nice tip. Do you realize that you can use that mentality for almost everything related to fixing the car? All it takes is some common sense, patience and a bit of skill and you can do most mechanical repairs on your car. And i bet you'll do it better than most mechanics out there - since it's your car and you are more careful on your car than anyone else.

But don't take my word for it. After all, I'm just a mechanic...

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Pay diff/trans workshop to do this.   Nope. Z32 turbo ran R230 with 6 bolt GTR style axles. All other Z32 were R200. Basically same same as other R32 stuff. All were a viscous waste of space.

      So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)

      Id just remove the solid subframe bushes.  you are over complicating things.  on a side note make sure you do some research on the skyline shed before buying from them.

      2020 Nissan Skyline 400R V37/Infiniti Q50 RS insurance in NSW

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      Just got back from overseas and once again Rego and service time. Supercheap auto cant find my plates on their list to match my car to buy a crush washer lolol. NRMA has my number plate linked to R35 GTR which i have explained once again that it is not a GTR. Its scary in the sense that if somthing happens and my insurance wont cover me if its the wrong car on their list even though they are the ones that have made the mistake. Im not sure NIGHTCRAWLER why the neg comment? Its a 2020 V37 400R Skyline? and asking for someone to post their VIN number is crazy just to prove it? Its a legit Nissan Skyline from japan factory 400R its does use the Q50 infinity chasis but this is the Japan model.
