Weird things you skyline does

[Bill]

lol Zebbie

Ummm real long shot here, but possibly someone tried to install one of those beepers that remind you that the lights have been left on but wired it up wrong bhy mistake?

[Bill]

my car makes a whistle noise at about 3500 rpm and a bove and when i take my foot of the gas it makes kind of a sneezing noise the higher i change gears the louder it is.

Your running a pod filter arnt ya

[Zebbie]

Good to see you hard at work Bill ;-)

Knowing my luck, that's probably it, or someone had a truckie complex or something.

Long as they havent tried to use diesel in it :wassup:

my turbo timer won't let me lock the car whilst it's counting down...kinda making it obsolete. I've found out that they're a little useless, as my EGT will give me a better indication of when to turn the engine off. My turbo timer is mainly used for it's other functions now (HKS Type-1).

Found another issue - I can't adjust the height of my steering wheel. The locking thing which you move down to move the steering column up and down is stuck. I might have to use some ingenius ways to loosen it...

my door locks dont work with the remote anymore

i keep losing demerit points

I have a cold

[memphis]

Auto right?

Both my jap cars have done this (supra and skyline). I think its just so you know your in reverse, like a truck reverse alarm

I think its factory in autos.

This confuses me rather than annoys, but :

Every Time I put the 'line into reverse, there is a loud 'beeping' coming from the dash area.

At first, i thought it was a parking radar or similar, but no-matter how close I reverse to a wall, the beeping is constant.  

(This is only audible inside the car, but is at the same rate as a truck reverse beeping)

Grr!!!

[Bill]

Nah Zebbies is a manual.

[funkymonkey]

its a factory option (for grandma drivers)... no shit... my auto ceffy has it too.

[~Hypnotik~]

i i go 2 drive my car, with in 5 minutes of it first running, when you put the clutch in the revs go up 2 1500

goes away as soon as its warm,

This also happens in my S13 SR20det Silvia when cold. I don't think it's a problem, it's normal when the car is cold.

Everytime I put the boot into it in the wet, the back end comes around and tried to overtake the front end. I think my HICAS is playing up.....

Anybody know how to fix it?

I know you meant this as a joke, but a friend of a friend (I have met him, he's not one of thise non-existant friend of a friends) bought a SW20 MR2 off a Japanese lady who was sent the car by her son, and got $2 grand off the price cause she thought the blow off valve sound meant that something was wrong with the gearbox!

Hmm, it actually seems kinda harsh now, ripping off someone who doesn't know about cars... O well, seemed funny at the time

mine has the same thing but the japanese owner has pulled out the plug to the little grey box under the dash

EDIT - it still makes it it was the speed warning that was unpluged along with the headlight buzzer

My GTR 32 does the climate control bit and now the front wheel torque guage on dash moves as if appliying torque to front wheels, but with no hard excelleration, it never used to do this unless it was supposed to when excellerating hard, i have new tyres and profiles are all the same. Has enyone experienced this, it basically follows the tacho??????

[CerealKiller]

I fixed my climate control by taking the unit apart, giving it a bit of a clean and putting it back together again. I love having it work again!

[Bass Junky]

Does anybodies AFM to TURBO duct suck closed at resonable boost?

Jees, wouldn't it be a great idea to replace the rubber duct with an alloy one to eliminate any sucking closed....

Well, have I got an deal for you.

Check my sig

[HCR32]

i am my cars turbo timer, like a tight arse, i take it easy on the last few kays approaching destination and then before exiting the car i let it idle for 1-2 minutes.

Here in sydney we can get fined for leaving our cars running without owner/passenger in the car, also get fined if we leave cars unlocked while paying for petrol at the counter.

F#!@& talk about revenue making schemes.....

[NA_R33]

my car does this wierd thing, it sounds like someone stole the turbo's and added two cylinders... no idea......
