Ok so after finding a problem in my new stagea I have found a relay that sounds rather upset and after some snooping around online I can't manage to find what it is or where it goes so hopefully someone here should be able to help. I don't know if all models have it but I have a '97 series 1 model.

Now this relay is on the drivers side, mounted to side of engine bay behind strut tower and to the drivers side of brake master cylinder, right up in the drivers side back corner. It's a black relay and has from what I can see, 2 plugs that attach to the bottom of it.

To fix, firstly try a new accumulator, usually good for 10 years, 350+ from nissan. Pm me as i have a near new (july 12) spare one for sale. Fitted for a few weeks only. Didnt fix my issue, as i ended up replacing pump and fitting my 2 yr old accumulator.

Thankyou! Yea it does have that annoying tick.

Other problem I have iss aftermarket fuel pump that isn't giving me enough output when I lay my foot down. Which I have been told a bosch 040 will fix. Does the old stall around right handers anywhere under 1/2 a tank if I take corner too quick but shocking under 1/4 of a tank.

Get an accumulator from nissan, jack or hoist car up, locate pump above rear diff, unscrew old accumulator...slowly to relaese pressure, will be messy with some fluid. Can be hard to remove, no space for pipe wrench. I used a chisel n hammer to loosen the accumulator. Install new one, grease o-ring first. Manual says to hand tighten, then tighten with tools so it moves 5mm on outside.

Fill up the fluid reservoir in boot to the brim, well above max. Activate the attessa pump manually by disconnecting the black plug behind the drivers kick panel. Turn key to ign, u should hear pump running. You then need to bleed fluid, 2 nipples, one at back of transfer case and one on pump, exhaust side. Run fluid out till bubbles gone and fluid level is good. Reconnect pump plug/wire. Start car and check fluid level whilst running. Done.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
