hey got the car seviced today and had a new fuel filter installed

well they managed to botch that job as i had 1/4 tank of petrol left and only got 40km out of it.

when i stopped got and checked there was split in the fuel line attached to the bottom of the fuel filter.

with PVA's help (thanks a heap mate) i managed to get the split taped up with electricians tape and drove to work.

so should if risk driving home if i have enough petrol or get them place that did the service to come to my work to fix it?

well you are welcome Troy boy!

well I think you should ring the place up who serviced in the morning... then if they wont take your car or come to your work to fix it for you...

then ask them to pay for the toew truck...

they should pay for all!

if they dont want to then tell them you ganna sue them for reglection of customers properties and also realeas of goods without funtional testing...etc..etc.

I think it sould be ok to drive... but you would loose heaps of petrols on the way over there...

anyway it was fun night! I hope you do the same for me! :D

cheers

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
