hey guys, car is acting very weird at the moment and am a little worried as im about to sell my other car in

the next few days and this will be the only one for a month or so while i wait.

about a month ago i broke down in the city late at night with a suspected dead battery. (well now im thinking it was something else) had a jump start from a friend and was on my way. drove 25km home and parked in garage, started next morning no problem - no noticeable issues since.

Friday night just gone was driving locally at night in the back streets and turned my Hi Beams on and my radio cut out - thought that was odd.

Next morning (Saturday) i couldn't get into the car with the button. so i opened it with the key and disarmed the alarm which was sounding with the Nissan immobilizer key, then the car wouldn't start, was completely dead (no lights etc). I left it went back inside and came out an hour later and opened the door. the lights were on and the key started it fine no problem. WEIRD!

This morning starts no problem (not started since Sat) driving to work stop to get a cup of coffee, lock car go inside, come out and unlock get in start.

Stereo has reset? so i tune it back to my station.

as im worried on my lunch break i take it for a drive and notice the Volt Gauge has more movement than normal but still around 14v constant but is flickering more than i have ever noticed. while driving i turn on the Hi Beams and the car nearly died mid flight, as soon as i let go of the light it sorted itself out and kept driving.

ANY IDEAS GUYS.>??? SCOTTY???

im assuming its either my alternator or my battery, but its weird as its at a constant 14v which tells me the alternator is ok, but it sat still for 4 days and started fine which tells me the battery is ok?

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
