I was going to sit and study for exams, but then I thought that's boring so I changed the coil packs. The car is so much smoother, idle's smoother and quieter and revs quicker too. Another thing ticked off the list.

I havnt forgotten about this thread of the car, im now working full time during the week as well as part time on the weekends. I want to work on the car but got no time....hopefully I can put aside some time to keep working on the car.

Also my first DIY got approved so have a look, give me feedback :rolleyes:

Small amounts of time on my hands now. So I decided to add some rice, therefore added some LED lights in the footwells. They turned out pretty well actually. Not sure if a tutorial exists but if someone wants one, ill write one up...well I'll probably write one up anyway.

Thanks guys.

I had plans to get an exhaust made before christmas but the muffler I want was not available anywhere, so now I will probably get it done around the end of January due to work and travel before that.

So over the weekend I attempted to fix the passenger side mirror as it doesnt fold in. After pulling the whole thing apart and thinking the gears are jammed, I pulled them out cleaned them, bought new grease and greased them up and reinstalled them...only to have it still not work... :yucky:. Mirror had to be reinstalled as I need to drive to work tomorrow. On the hunt for a mirror which has a working folding mechanism to swap it out now.

Greased up gears:

In the process of removing the mirror, I smashed the tweeter when I didnt realise it as hanging and closed the door. Luckily it was only the casing so I thought what better excuse to properly mount the tweeters.

Went from this (ignore the missing door card)

To this:

I call it a success and it makes the interior look so much nicer.

Hey mate - You will find the issue isn't the gears rather its the contacts in the switching mechanism in the mirror. Happened to me and I used this guide to fix it:

Shortly after I fixed the passenger side, the drivers side went and I haven't been bothered to fix it lol.

GL - Tweeters look nice like that

Hey,

Yeah I thought this initially but when the switch is pressed the motor make noise and both if the mirror is open or closed, the whole system doesn't work, anyway i ran out of time to try the contacts solution so maybe next time.

The twin tips look pretty neat on the car. *thumbs up* So simple yet so nice.

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
