hello i have a problem with my skyline r34 gtt 2 door.

The thermostat wasn't even plugged into the thermostat temperature plug. But the car runs fine. But my other skyline r34 4 door doesn't have the resistor on the same plug, Should i take out the resistor or should i leave it in there doesn't look like it was meant to be in there.

If anyone can help me out please email me or can look up me on facebook.

Thanks

Aaron

That's not the thermostat. It's the ecu's temp sensor. Someone seems to have added the resistor to trick the ecu into thinking the engine temp is different therefore running a different mixture. I would pull it out and plug it in like it should be, as thats not an appropriate way to "tune" a car.

Unless the temp sensor rooted, which could be the reason they used a resistor in the first place. If you have a multimeter you can measure the resistance of the sensor when the engine is cold then measure it again when the engine is hot, the resistance should decrease as it heats up.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
