If it's coils, I got a set you can have cheap. Though I doubt it would be them.

If it's spark plugs, I got 6 NGK BCPR6ES (0.8mm copper standard replacement) you can have for $20 (normaly $30.....HUUUUUUUGE SAVINGS BRAH)

If it's something the workshop muffed up, well good luck and hope it's sorted easy :P but yes, if either of the above are at fault, hit me up :D

FMIC will pass fine - I had holes cut in mine for piping and it passed. Just make sure the piping is tidy and fits the hole snugly.

hopefully it ain't a coil pack that has coincidently gone faulty.

Hopefully not, cos if I'll be schitting myself, I found out it's running the blue spitfires.

Also supposedly running the iridium sparkies, worth $22 each or something stupid - and a 0.75mm gap rather than 8mm... Going by what I was told any way.

I'm sure all this is helping explain the 220rwkw.

BTW I looked at some of the papers I got, it's running 6psi and 11psi, not 7 and 12. But either way :D

hmm yeah unlikely coils then...

When I had my car at ESP, got told it's running same sort of sparkies too...though whatever was in it, they reckon is usually somewhere around $40/plug....so naturally they didn't replace them lol

Been going good for 30,000kms now, no issues :D

Ah yep cool.

I have some stock parts. Stock clutch and flywheel, intercooler, 4 of the 6 coils (he didn't find the other 2 some how, but if does will get them to me), turbo to cat parts of exhaust, a bunch of random nuts and bolts, and a couple of other bits of piping.

Tires are a bit of a nightmare though lol, I guess so very much worth it, but OUCH on the wallet.

And why must they make the rear seats so hard to remove to do work, seriously *sighs* I gave up last night, but will look again later (wanted to start sorting sterio related stuff).

Currently the car is back with Premier Automotive. In theory I'll get it back today running properly again.

just yank the f**kers real hard (the seat base) and and will pop out

and and eh?

I got your point.

Got the left side out, but not the right(btw this was after undoing the actual bolts on the front :P

Need to put a bolt in for bottom right hand part of the back rest, it appears to be missing..

I'll give it another shot tonight or monday.

Car is supposedly fine now (I'll know when drive home)

They found a hairline crack on one the sparkies. They said when removed em they were a bit tight, and they musta accidently cracked one.

He replaced it with the same sparkie, match the gaps and it runs perfect again.

He was hugely apologetic, he even dropped the car off to ME at my work on the other side of Mitchell.

I'd still recommend their shop for work - Performance Automotive Repairs - Mitchell.

Yeh thats it, drive it enough - I'll get used to it.. But only way getting it smoother is with a bit more slip..

I'm trying to get the balance right of slip, vs grip and not accidently burning out the tires.

Loveing driving this car though. It's awesome

Just don't worry about taking off in any kind of "quick" manner lol...don't rev it up above 1000rpm if you can get the clutch control spot on...that will allow for some slip without burning the poor thing to death from higher rpm

Sounds good to me.

OK latest issue, I need to somehow get a new LED cluster for the stock rear spoiler *sighs* it aint working at all. Any one got one, ideas or suggestions?

Oh and new tires, wheel alignment and balance tomorrow morning, booya.

mine wasnt working, pulled it appart and checked for dry joints. if you are handy with a soldering iron its potentially a cheap fix.

Isn't the thing completely sealed tight?

Might be possible to fix it as such.. but not sure how to get it apart without accidently damaging it.

LED's don't die... not a whole bunch of them at once anyway...

So the problem will be either no Ground, no Switched +12V or as TiTan said a dry solder joint.

make sure you have +12v going to them with the brakes on, and make sure they are getting a connection from the Ground wire to the chassis somewhere.

If you have both of these things, I'm sure they will be fixable :)

its sealed, but with some patience and a sharp knife you can work your way round and pry it open.

Are they in series or parallel? I seem to remember them being in series, so if one has died, none of them will work. If this is the case, just gotta find out which one.

They supposedly run in series of 4 leds. So usually if anything goes out, it'll be a small section at a time only.

There is power to the cables, as we tested the wiring, and I used a different tail light temporarily - but it doesn't fit properly.

I'm a little worried to pull it all apart, but I'll definitely take another look, and see if is perhaps dry solder etc.. I'll see what my father can do, he's a pro with solder.. I'm not so good with that kinda fine detail.

Also, after that rain this morn i have a little moisture in my back right indicator, and there was some dampness in my boot, but not sure if that was cos some water ran in when I opened the boot or cos there is an actual leak.

New tires are awesome, car looks better with the nice mags back on. Alignment is fixed (toe was right out front and back). And I'll keep gently practicing getting this clutch right. I've been careful not to over rev it, but shudders from under aint that great either.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By Duncan · Posted

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
