yeh i was thinking that too, but the car hasnt done many km's, so i hope its not that, ive treated it good, and its only done 70,000km..... what would be a good diff upgrade?

what exact model of tyres do u have?

if it spins third trust me mass, they cant be good :P

i got some new toyo t1rs, and although i dont have much power they are like night and day compared to my old tyres.

you dont really believe the odo do you :)

well i dunno, but my car is pretty clean Arup, and drives fine, id say it has around the 70,000km on the clock, by looking at the interior and the wear and tear its not bad, so i dunno how many k's but id believe it.... i am due for some new tyres, but its not just that guys, it spins them easy which is wat im trying to say, before the work was done i couldnt even chirp 3rd, i even struggled to spin 2nd with these tyres....

yeah your car is a very clean one, one of the best ive seen, i see what u mean, lots of extra power compared to before :) cant be bad!

i guess when u get your car back you will have plenty of fun frying your current tyres before u get some new ones :P

lol, i will indeed, just have to be carefull not to fry other things!!!!!

thanks for the comments, i think mine is a clean example... i have to take u for a spin soon Arup. Pete, you and i have to go for a cruise soon..

Is the condition known? The $600 1/1.5/2way second hand items have an unknown condition/possible rebuild.

$800-$900 second hand are generally a good second hand item.

Thats what I've came across anyhow. Obviously there are some good deals floating around, just need to be in the right place at the right time. :)

yeh i dunno man, mine seems fine for now, it was just a thought, cant really spend that money on a good working diff atm...

was thinking of working my gear box a little....

yeah i doubt the diff would be that much of a problem. best to save money for other stuff that might break.

either way, cubes, for you info you can get 1.5 or 2way kaaz lsds brand new to your door for $1150 with 2 bottles of oil, so i think 8-900 for a second hand is a bit on the dearer side :)

tuner just rang me and said he found 2 cracvked plugs while tuning today, had to replace them..... i have to say skylines are a hastle some times, he had to take the piping off 3 times LOL...

i cant wait till saturday.....

I've had issues with cracked plugs, that was such a nightmare. I had the plugs out 2 times and couldn't see any cracks, the third I found one plug with a crack, the tuner found another 1.

Need to be very very carefull tightening the suckers up. Keep it 90degree's, I was lazy and left the cross over pipe on and used a swivel. :)

yeh i know he was telling me, he took them out the first time to gap them, then had issues later so he checked them out to find one cracked, then again checked them to find another one cracked.

hey guys, my car is finally back..... overall im happy, although there are a few more things needed...

the car is a little laggy, hits full boost at close to 4000rpm, which is the bad part from all this, but i have to say its a lot stronger....

the car pulled over 240rwkw...

which i think isnt too bad, with the standard engine and cams...

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
