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 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 :)

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
