Edit: Hang on a minute isn't your mrs name Melissa?

And it just so happens a "Melissa" served you...2+2=BS

Mates rates / Trade prices etc don't count - UNLESS you are prepared to get the item for the rest of us at the same cost!

Otherwise you can't go around saying they cost $12, hopefully you understand that otherwise I can feel a keystroke-warrior-session coming on :confused:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

LOL, you actually went to the trouble of scanning a receipt :D

It must be cheaper for Z200 because the Z202 - which is the one I have is MUCH larger and nobody has it for less than $20 - NOBODY!

still LOL :)

PS i had the receipt laying around on my table so i took a photo of it. The Z202 is just bigger but doesent really do anything different!!

LOL, only if she is HOT!

ok - well it was worth a try :cheers:

Maybe I will grab a z200 - problem is their usually out of stock at A'barn, Eastcoast & Kmart!

The reason I used a Bigger fuel filter is that I have heard people say to put in th biggest filter you can fit as this will either A. Last Longer or B. Flow Better or C. Both!

End off-topic :)

There are special socket bits that are made for them. I got one in my socket set. When you say buy one that fits a vl, i take it you talking about socket bits, coz it was my impression that all spark plugs are the same size. So as long as you have a socket bit that will fit a spark plug then you should be right to go. Did that help any????????????

oi big bhoy hook us up with the location of your fuchs dealer...

isn't there a fuchs employee on this forum? can he hook me up :)

I need to change oil, oil filter, fuel filter and sparkies.

Also I was told that Skylines came stock with 0.8mm gap sparks. I know my HKS Idium ones were anyways. I've since gone to copper which I have a sneaking suspicion are 1mm because they keep fouling.

don't you have a GTS with a 2.0L NA?

io don't think gap is going to be an issue if that is the case...

yeah kinda....i was talkin about those long yellow sparkie wrench things that you buy from autobahn with the funny T at the end that already has a socket on it. but it looks like i can use an ordinary wrench right?? just have to make sure the socket fits the hole yeah??

You can either get one of those yellow things, or just get a socket that fits on a normal wrench thing. They look like normal sockets but are a bit longer and have a rubber insert for gripping the spark plug.

Oh and they come in different sizes, skylines use 16mm plugs so get one that is 16mm or else its a pain in the arse putting the car back together to drive to the shops to get the right one.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
