So time came to install reconditioned diff as the old one seemed to be a bit of a 1 wheel wally anyway.

Sandblasted crap off backing plate.

201202251804271200x9001330527162.png

Gave it a good polish.

201202251903421200x9001330527162.png

Sprayed with Stoneguard underbody paint.

201202251952081200x9001330527162.png

Polished off the Axle and Drive shaft contacts and any overspray on the backing plate then Filled up with Castrol LSX90 (Took 1.45L).

201202271808081200x9001330527162.png

Car jacked up with front bar almost touching the ground.

Opened up old diff. Oil was pretty bad with heaps of shit in it.

201202272220231200x9001330527311.png

Rear piece of Drive shaft has reinforcement that doesnt seem to be factory and had 2 stickers on it with "JR" on them.

Y u no Impul front bar? Also JR stickers are factory. Nfi what it's for but they all have em.

I only had a few choices through insurance but then found a company making copy kits in Brisbane for very cheap. But then at that time it was too late.

But for me, this bar is far better looking than impul bar could ever be. So when i get a full respray in the distant future i will buy an Impul bar and have that trial-fitted and sprayed and then keep it as a spare for when i sell the car.

Front bar is looking tops mate, much nicer than the one that was on there when you first got it.

Cheers man :)

Yeah true that. The style doesn't suit the kit nor does the colour suit the style...

Every time I see this thing I regret buying a coupe.

How much was the headlight restore kit?

Yeah i regretted it, especially seeing as i prefer 4 doors. Was just a silly opportunity that i took up. To me they look too big and long for a 2 door vehicle from the 90s,bit cramped and 4 doors handle better because of more overhang in the rear. i Found the 2 door to be quite snappy with loss of traction compared. Only thing i loved about it was Rims,Exhaust and Sunroof and i kept rims and exhaust aha. Loved the sunroof but because the 2 door roof is lower than 4 door to start with and im 6 foot tall my head was touching the roof with a sunroof setup lol.

Mind you yours looks pretty nice in a stock form with rims and no wing :)

I payed $43 at Autobarn. Just walked in the door and they had them on the front desk, payed and left.

If you look around you might be able to find it cheaper and i think its on ebay for 39. Some places have higher prices like Repco about a year ago wanted $51.

Works a treat every time(Have used on 3 R33s so far ;) ) lasts a long time because of uv protective film you wipe onto it and it doesn't take long to do.

Yeah I'm happy with how mine looks (thanks.gif), could be a bit straighter, oh well.

My next one will have the correct amount of doors. whistling.gif

Yeah I tried the Turtle Restoration Kit (payed about the same as your kit) and I don't think I was aggressive enough with the sanding and it needs doing again. I'll have to remember when they get really bad to try the Invision Kit.

With the diff re furb did they just reshim it or something else and approx how much to have this done please?

Also, you still have the hicas? Is it on the list to go?

My Mate bought the diff with a halfcut engine last year from a wreckers. Dont think it was shimmed but upon opening it, it had definitely been reconditioned.

Yeah Hicas is still rocking i think.

Not buzzed by it really as im no drifter.

I love how well a skyline can come up after a decent headlight touch up. Makes it look like a hole new car.

Yep :) Everytime!

Third skyline to just stand back and go "wow!"

Cars looking tidier and tidier. Agree on the sunroof comment above, thought about taking sunroof out of parts car for the taxi but I'm 6" as well and it felt pretty cramped with the sunroof.

Yeah prenty of room in a 4 door without aye.

just like a meth addict needs his fix, this car makes me need a 33 4 door

Aha cheers :P

mate,

awesome thread... fantastic car and great persistence!!! top effort. Looks amazing!

Thanks mate, really appreciate it :)

      Unless things that you want to do include reference to time. Simple Boolean logic is only good for digital inputs or analogues that have been thresholded into digitals. But unless you also have a timer function available (which would more ideally be located inside the program, rather than being forced to implement a timer outside the ECU and bring it in as a seperate digital for every time delay you want to implement), then you can't do some of the things that you might want to do. My PLC ladder logics are obviously littered with program blocks, because that's easier than building it all in ladder gates, but the most frequent of those program blocks is a simple timer, because you actually can't otherwise do that in ladder at all.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Log voltage. I'm suspecting the alternator. Or even maybe a bad earth somewhere. ie, seeing as it is rev dependent, I am thinking it is alternator dependent.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah so N1 and any other larger than factory pump are pretty famous for pumping the sump dry...obviously we don't often get to spend 20 or 30 seconds at high rpm/full noise on the road so I'd still be suspicious that is what is happening here.

      You are also getting pressure dips on gear shifts. They're just not dipping as far, but they're dipping quite below the amount of oil pressure you should be seeing, for how much RPM drops.   It quite little could be the oil pressure relief valve is starting to stick open a little/is slow to close.

      Can you log battery voltage, and TPS, and put all four of those into a single image (even as split graphs)?   The oil pressure drops aren't following RPM as such. I'm intrigued if you may have a ground loop between different sensors. With the engine not running, log your sensors and for example cycle the throttle pedal. See if any sensor values flutter or move about. This won't be a perfect test either as the ECU won't be cycling all of its actuators like it would be while running. What EMTRON do you have? Do you have a link to the wiring guide for that ECU?
