no, actually thinking more bout how the diff pinions work, having the plates acting only on one side would make it favour one side more more than the other so, yea i get it now why it locks on right turns more.

no, scrap that i'm still puzzled how a one sided lsd works lol

 

[pollyp]

ok its been over 2weeks since i ordered this hosetail female adapter for the turbo gauge from this irish company

http://www.industrialwaterequipment...P-1/8-Tube-I/D-inch-mm-3/16-5-/prod_3155.html

guy says its been sent week ago after twas outa stock. how long does it take to ship a tiny piece from dublin before i think bout informing mastercard?

 

[Eire]

you would really be suprised how long it takes for things to get across the pond lol

 

[pollyp]

you would really be suprised how long it takes for things to get across the pond lol

it must've been shipped across via floating bottle lol

check my order on their website, still says Pending. so either they're still outa stock but told me it's been sent or they don't update their website but it's been dispatch and lost in post

 

[pollyp]

k waiting for this damn adapter is getting stupid. i'm gonna buy another hose tail adapter off ebay. whether the current item i'm waiting for arrives or not on march 2nd i'll cancel it (tradings website says allow 30days to deliver after placing order if due date not stated)

 

[martinb]

Ive been waiting about a month for a damn iPod lead of eBay, cut your loses mate go somewhere else and return it when it turns up

How to clean & configure the Idle Air Control Valve & idle bleed screw with Nissan Datascan

monchi asked me how to configure the IAV & idle speed, i did afew tests and this is how i did it.
​

Check the ecu & gauge coolant sensor, TPS, ignition timing and the waxstat fast idle mechanism are all working and within spec.​

The waxstat fast idle mechanism tends to seize and stop working over time, which means the throttle plate doesn't fully close once the engine's warmed up and cause idle speed issues.
The IAV does the same job as the waxstat.
Check if the waxstat mechanism is working and within spec by measuring/comparing the plungers travel when the coolant is cold & hot. If there's no travel or the distance is out of spec, it's recommended to remove the fast idle mechanism so it doesn't affect the closed throttle position and let the IAV control fast idle speed.​

To clean & adjust the IAV:​

1. warm up the engine to 80C
2. check in datascan the Closed TPS & Neutral icon are both showing On, ign timing is bout 15deg (on both datascan readings and using a timing strobe). turn Ign off​

3. take out the IAV.
​

4. disassemble the IAV. remove the 2 screws holding the grey solenoid body to the valve assembly. pry loose the locking fingers on either side. pull the solenoid & valve apart to reveal the solenoid motor rotor.​

5. flush clean & loosen the valve assembly by spraying with carb/brake cleaner and twiddle the motor rotor several times to both loosen the dirty valve and free up the rotors ball bearing which tends to seize with age. wipe the valve clean with a cloth. eventually the ball bearing should feel smooth with no resistance. if it still feels seized then the bearing has failed and the IAV needs replacing.​

6. fit the large o-ring back into the solenoid motor casing, lightly smeared with wd40 and reassemble the motor casing back onto the valve assembly. to slip the casing & o-ring onto the valve end, just apply light pressure and twist simultaneously and it should slip in. if not, check the o-ring hasn't slipped out of place. line up the screw slot with the screw hole roughly.​

7. plug IAV into loom, IGN on​

8. open datascan, go to "Active Tests" and set the IAV to 0%, press start​

9. shine a small flashlight into the valve center and rotate the IAV motor till the valve opening is just about closed and blocks the light​

10. set the datascan IAV to 100%, press start, and the valve should open. if the valve has turned the other way and actually closes more, the motor stator/casing is out-of-phase, rotate the motor casing 180deg to the valve assembly and repeat 8-10​

11. once the valve is configured to close at 0% and fully open at 100% value and working smoothly and instantaneously, then reinsert & tighten the IAV motor casing screws & bend in the locking fingers to lock its position​

12. close datascan & turn Ign off​

13. fit the small o-ring into the tip of the IAV lightly oiled and reinstall into the TB with light pressure and twist. if it resists and still feels spongy, remove the IAV and check the o-ring is still correctly in place. reinstall plugs.​

14. start engine & datascan. hold at 2k to warm engine back upto 80C then release throttle, let the IAV value settle down. it will slowly drop towards bout 17%​

15. with engine warmed up and radiator fan off, adjust the TB idle bleed screw at the back till the idle speed shown in datascan is at 750rpm. blip the throttle then let the IAV settle to make sure it consistently stabilises at 750rpm. check the idle timing is at 15deg.

16. let engine cool right down to bout 15C then restart engine with no throttle to check the IAV opens up bout 70-78% during cold start then slowly reduces down to 17% as coolant reaches 80C​

17. when the engine's warm, setting the IAV at 100% in datascan should rev at 1500rpm and setting the IAV at 0% should rev at 500rpm​

also made a PAS cooler from copper pipe to be mounted higher above the intercooler

 

[pollyp]

reversed the wastegate actuator bracket so the hose points likes this, and bent the hosetail fitting to point slightly away from the turbo inlet elbow thats in the way

need to block off the unused hole in the L-pipe after the turbo. so cut flush the brass fitting

taped n screwed a bolt to plug hole

grind off n file smooth

after measuring the front ride heights i found out that the front left was actually 10mm lower than the right and therefore causing the misterious scraping during hard right turns, slight tyre marks left at top lip of the wing.
coilovers need a good wipe clean after withstanding winter/rain with a partially failed cover

time for a properly tailor made cover. measure n cut from pair of waterproof leggings

put me moms sewing machine to good use. sews very good

wrapped snugly round coilovers. no more excess fabric to flap about n rub

tied the top end with string to allow the top balljoint to swivel freely, ziptie was too thick.

tied in place

front left been lifted 10mm, now its properly fixed

 

[pollyp]

i' have a Q, i'm ringing through my list of insurers for quotes but i'm abit clued as to how i value my car. do i tell em how much it'd cost to get a stock SLX replacement (£500-800 with £580 premium) or do i say the grand total of mod parts on the car (prob £3k+ and premium will skyrocket)?

 

[frank]

they,ll only ever payout the market value eh paul, a grand maybe ?

 

[pollyp]

so stick to £800 value

 

[pollyp]

ok so insurance is finally sorted.

adrian flux & insurance factory had a minimum quote of £750 :/

went with Sky insurance at £582 with £350 excess tpft plus £80 uk recovery breakdown cover(Y)

the hosetail adapter i ordered since jan 31 has Finally arrived after i sent a recorded letter to them on tues:glare:

coilover springs making creaking noises so the top ball joint will need re-oiling tomorrow

 

[will930]

nice one mate.... i was wondering if you could pm me the exact link you got your data scan from it seems like it may help my problem right? and glad it came and you can get a move on and show us some action!

http://www.blazt.biz/prices/prices.php

i got the popular USB OBD cable + Datascan + Datalog bundle for £70. rarely used the datalog so suggest leaving that out

 

[pollyp]

fitted the hosetail adapter onto boost gauge. had to dremel the threads abit short to fit

had to mill out abit more plastic to access the adapter

gauges fitted

hadn't noticed how close the boost gauge is to the sun visor

right, advice about these upper sperical ball joints used on the BC coilovers is that they don't lube well with wd40 cos its too thin, which then causes the upper coilover section to bind n resist turning while the bottom section of the coilover is still steering freely.

this causes the coilspring to shuffle on the upper/lower support cups that can be heard whenever turning and wears the plastic cup against the harder alloy cup over time.

so out comes the upper ball joint. clean it all from any dirt/grease. i swiveled the ball joint with a socket extension rod to be able to wipe the bearing surface clean. was a little resistive initially due to lack of lube

now a thicker lube like engine oil is used to coat and cling to the bearing surface rather than being squeezed out like wd40.

swivel the bearing to one side with rod, add some engine oil to the bearing face then swivel the rod as arrowed to rotate the bearing and work the oil deep inside, then repeat the other side. it should feel looser and looser as the engine oil coats through the bearing till you could swivel the bearing with ur fingers.

wipe excess oil and reinstall.

 

[will930]

You should put the bit about the idle in the guides section as ill most likely need it!

 

[pollyp]

^done

 

[will930]

have you got your lsd sorted yet?

 

[pollyp]

matt says Gripper is building it at the mo. prob ready next week with helix clutch kit. hopefully before next weekend cos i'll be off to hongkong for a week.

 

[pollyp]

taken off the stock PAS cooler

fitted copper cooler

was gonna make a bracket mount but couldn't be bothered n used wire instead

fitted intercooler and saw the pas cooler needs adjusting. good thing copper's easy to bend

may kinked it abit. still works

needs further bending. will remake a neater one next time but'll do for now

repainted crossmember

 

[Noddie]

Thats a good size of intercooler! looks to be a good fit

 

[pollyp]

it just bout slots tightly between the crossmember rear lip and the upright centre support. prob need to grind the middle thread under the IC abit shorter since the crossmembers slightly banana'd up the centre by 5mm

 

[pollyp]

got reply from Ed bout the remap and he suggested i upgrade the injectors from 256 to 370cc, upgrade the fuel pump (walbro 255?), avoid FSE adjustable FPR, fit oil cooler.

anyone know where to get the 370 injectors & pump or have any for sale?

also he could probably map for low/high boost incase i can't find 98ron fuel but trickier n prob add costs. or we could map for high boost on 98ron and use octane booster when i can't find any during a roadtrip.

If you have the sr20de rail there is a 370cc option as stock no?
Maybe look at bigger stock fuel pump? skyline? they are always upgrading so might be able to get a cheap one off the bay.
Why not just map for normal fuel? save so much hassle...

not sure if sr20de came with 370cc but i read that the 300zx non-turbo uses 370cc injectors? if i can find some 370 injectors, ya think they're a straight swap with the 256cc?

i'll check out some skyline pumps

ed could map to 95ron but says there would be no benefit and would lose out alota potential hp compared to 98ron, in which case i may as well stick to the current n/a setup. i'll deal with using octane booster when there's no 98ron.

 

[pollyp]

matt called and diff & clutch is ready. deliver to swap tomorrow

Nice looking injectors. The ones i bought were 40€ for 4, but a bit more dirty than those you posted...

 

[pollyp]

or closer to home, 200sx s14 injectors for £58. dunno if its dark blue or purple in the pics

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/nissan-200-SX...077675&cguid=dc7d017312c0a0e203a0fcf0ff921c0b

 

[Scott]

It would probably work out cheaper to get some used ones over here and have them ultrasonically cleaned.

 

[pollyp]

aye. scopez also said the 2nd link is the same purple injector & rails he took off an s14.

ordered:grinning:

 

[pollyp]

got some new o-rings too

[pollyp]

took out the red injectors. 3 came out fine but there's always one that gets stuck. pulled hard for ages till fingers hurt n it pops out

think its an A46-00 275cc injector

FPR can barely read the part # and cant find matching # on google

 

[Scott]

Almera GTi SR20 injectors by the looks.

Same as the ones i sold Waz4life

 

[pollyp]

ta. i'll post em on buy sell eventually once the 370's come

 

[pollyp]

has anyone ever thought bout or tried replacing the rear brake propertioning valve with a manual brake bias lever? since my fronts are now way more powerful than the rears and i have abs anyway. the bias valve may improve braking system response, fine tune the braking balance and stop the rears from binding?

 

[pollyp]

my my, this sites painfully sluggish at the mo. like i'm back on 56k

anyway cisco's site says the skyline r33 gtst pump is a direct replacement so found these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-Skylin...469231&cguid=15efca981280a0aad46098b0ff57671d

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/skyline-r33-g...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item336577c360

think they'll do?

 

[pollyp]

TNT guy came tday with big box

new pressure plate, prob almera? the plate outer diameter is 190mm. need to check on stock flywheel if it'll fit

helix pad clutch plate. pads are 177mm outer diameter

very hard pads with razar sharp edges. can't imagine what it'll do to the jun flywheel :/

spring plate layout

how the helix plate sizes up with the PP

release bearing

fabulous new gripper diff

now with room and notches for the speedo gear

look at the ramp

speaking of ramps, going to grippers website at http://www.davemacprops.com/gripper.html it says at the bottom that the ramps angles come as 30/65 40/65/ and 45/45

at the side of the box is written "nissan micra speedo 45/45"

so its a 2-way lsd, whoa that's gonna be hairy under lift-off/braking eh?

assembly of the diff

Yeah should be dead easy...pretty much just gotta replace the brake lines and remove the old valve. I only thought about it after id finished fitting all the stuff back on mine :doh:

Parts are looking great, bet you cant wait haha.

the walbro is quite dear at £70. is the £30 skyline pump be up for the task?

my recent spendings does not look pretty

 

[pollyp]

try the clutch on stock flywheel and it fits :grinning:

new lsd beside stock diff. measured em up and the speedo will fit. take to machine shop tomorrow to swap bearings over

slots for speedo

 

[frank]

i think you only need the 255 if you have to run high fuelrail pressures paul (which is unlikely with those huge 370cc injectors imo)

 

[martinb]

Looking good man!

I picked up an s14 370cc rail and injectors last night

Came out a 36000 s14 from my boss for free

Can you put some pics up of your modified fuel rail please Paul, seems it's proving quiet difficult getting the rail adjusted

Cheers mate and I bet you cant wait!
