Guys,

I've had my line for a few months now, loving every minute of it.

But something has been baffling me since word go.

on the back shelf there is a small (maybe the size of a 1ltr ice cream tub but flatter

) box with a few leds and whirring fans, when i asked the previous owner what this was (just after i had bought it) he shugged and said "a dehumidifier" i quizzed further and i was told that it came stock with his import.

No problems there, but the thing that is baffling me is none of my mates lines have one, or didnt when they bought them. Have i ended up with the ultimate rice accessorie option (pointless and electronic) or would some one have fitted it after purchase?

My Series II has one also and is constantly on - can't seem to find an on/off switch. My Mazda 626 Coupe import had one also (way back in 1990) that some kids stole out of it thinking it was a sub or something.

They were called air purifiers from what I remember - was your car a smokers' car in Japan as they seem popular with smokers cars.

Don't seem to do much though apart from use up power and take up space.

Cheers, Al

PVA,

Pretty sure yeah, it sits well clear of the rear window on the back parcel shelf. not rigged into anything mechanical in the space next to the battery, just power.

Sounds to me like it is a dehumidifier/air filter of some type, heh now the curiosity is why i have one but most dont. Makes me feel all special.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 馃ゲ But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
