Hi There,

Quick question.

I've done a bit of searching and can't find much info..

I'm going to install a front mounted I/C.

Question is: How do I take the front bumper off (R33 gts-t series 2)?

Is there anything I should know before I take it off (how easy is it)?

Also is it bolt's or clips holding the bumper on (and roughly how many??)?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Rob

Pull the grill out (clips on the back), there are plastic screws under there. there are from memory 2 10mm's under the front gaurd. You have to remove the plastic gaurd liner and there is a thin metal brace behind that on both sides. From memory that is about it besides uncliping the lights.

When fitting my FMIC we didnt need to remove the lights.

The grill is a bitch to remove, mind you it was bloody cold when we did it.

some clips are under the grill, two bolts either side just under the front of the quarter panel and 2 bolts on the underside either side holding the splash tray in place.

PS: yes mines a series two also

It is an easy job.

There are two 10mm screws on each side, just in front of the wheel, remove all of these first, next there are two 14mm bolts that hold the thing to the car on each side. sort of behind the indicators, loosen the back two but don't completely remove them (makes it easier to put back on), completely remove the front two.

Slide the bar forward a bit so you can get your hands in to unplug the indicators, then lift the whole assembly clear of the car. If you need to separate the plastic bit form the metal bit there are several clips which are easily accessible now the bar is off the car.

Reverse the process to refit. Should take no longer than 5mins.

      Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.

      12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.

      Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.

      Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
