i love it how it poped off while it was idling... yet 100m up the road.... ;)

nah up the road is where it would have popped, well when he lifted off the throttle to stop for the give way and the throttle body snapped shut. he only noticed when he went to take off from stand still at the corner cos he wasn't rolling anymore

Hi all,

I'm resurrecting an old topic here but it is slightly more relevant... does anybody know where I can get a replacement coolant bleeder plug / bleeder screw etc.? Basically the 10mm bolt which plugs the coolant bleeders (one at the front & one at the back of the intake manifold). I lost the rear one down the back of the engine @#*&$ !

I spent an hour digging through it with my bare hands; using a magnetic pokey stick; flushing it out with water to try to dislodge it etc.

If anyone can be bothered FASTing it that would be great... it has a special kind of tapered washer; an ordinary bolt is a) too long and b) leaks due to missing this tapered washer. I have siliconed a bolt/washer combination in there for the time being. How annoying.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
