nah I always leave it till the pump is primed. I hear it Click off in the boot (noise courtesy of the big bosch pump :)) but it still is hard to start. most times have to touch the pedal. esepecially when its cold.

also clutch is really loud till you hold your foot in on the pedal.

When is the last time you got your injectors cleaned and flow testered?

4. still cant get to blow air up on the front windscreen with the AC off.

I think this is normal? Mine does it too? Its annoying when its cold and you have to have cold air blowing in to demist the screen

I think the wiring in my car is loopy, i believe it thinks the boot is always open (int light on and boot light on, i had to remove), and the alarm believes this too. normallly that is ok, alarm ignores that one trigger point, but yesterday alarm started going off for no reason, and keeps doing it. had to turn stupdi siren off...

Anyone have ideas about wiring & how to fix? This is actually REALLY annoying me....

i've got a whining noise coming from my steering column... but the dirty sanchez dosen't make the noise when i take it to the mechanic, but it starts up again the moment I get home. I've made around 10 trips to mechainics, only to have em look at me n go "what noise?".

My car is a dubious manipulator. The voices in my head agree with this too.

No really I have a whining noise which comes on and off. it increases in pitch when the car is moving faster. The faster my wheels are turning the higher the pitch. Its inaudible from the outside and while inside it seems like its coming from the steering wheel.

One of these days I'll gut the car to find a worn out bearing causing it and I will rage out on that bearing making the rest of its life a living hell.

i have to have the air con on to get the air on the windscreen too.

Yup... my aircon automatically switches on if I just press the demister front or rear.

The freaky stuff my car does atm is below:

-> when cold the break pads sqeeak... very bad.. ok after I drive the car and use the breaks a lil.

-> RATTLING! dammit I had rattling and I still havent even put in my sub yet. :D Thinking of taking out the trims and re-sit them backin and see if it will solve me rattling problem.

-> A flat spot? at ~2 or 3000rpm, tho I think it might be due to the triptronic gearbox or something.. not sure yet...

-> After the car warms up the idle is not constant.. (some misses) or when I park my car on an angle with the front higher than the rear.. Taking this back to the mechanic workshop soon to work out why..

-> Tendency to attract lots of people around it.. ;)

Other than these. I am prefectly happy with my car. :D

HA its a japanese Tuner and tape player.. dont have any tapes and cant get Aust stations... Fcuking thing!

There is an easy (and cheap) solution.

You can get a handy little frequency converter that plugs in between the antenna and the radio.

It converts all the frequencies (shifts them up or done) so they match the Japanese range the radio recieves.

I have it in mine and it works quite well, the only flaw is that the radio still displays the jap frequency so for example 105 may display as 97 :)

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By weikleenget · Posted

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
