If you have the money and want them changed, then do it. Or if they need to be done. By word; only get your injectors cleaned if it is really necessary because it is an easy couple hundred for not doing much work. Injectors don't need to be changed that often, and you can buy cleaner fluid...

A bloke walks into a bar and goes up to the bar asks for a drink. Standing there he notices a jar full of money with CONTEST written on it behind the bar, and asks the barman whats up with the jar. "Oh thats just a little contest" he says. "Have to complete all three challenges to win the...

Is it an SL? i know exec mainly came auto but i didn't think sl came with power steering. Yeah it need a new steering wheel and some seat covers, that is an diff instrument cluster so it mighten be original k's. I also think its defectable with a moving sub box aswell. Got mine tucked in...

y do ppl drive with pwr mode on? wat is its purpose?

but with only 111000k's on it, it a staright six it hasn't been under as much pressure as a turbo engine. A/c might be stuffed aswell, compressor might be gone, but i was quoted 750 to fix that and gased, unless the gas needs to be changed. Looks clean...listen to the engine, look for leaks...

Not so much into the dash, but the clear plastic over the cluster, does ne1 know how to clean that up pretty good? as it is dirty (dirt stains) to start, and has white swirlys in it.

i have a manual and it don't tell me sh*t only maintenence. Most problems are a bit queer and it wouldn't cross my mind to look in the manual y spend forever reading something ur not gonna find... But yeah ppl, have a go at fixing sh*t it is how u learn...and its the big mistakes only teaches...

I see your point, but if u use a key to get in the car, which mine does then it also opens the boot. ill see what he wants to do, as the stereo will not be seen only heard.

Well i traced the orange cable back and it goes to the fusebox and is actually connected to fuse #17 which is not labelled in the box...thought this was a bit funny and checked mine, and without fuse #17 in the boot release does not work. i couldn't understand that diagram too well either...

well sounds like he got a bargain actually, electric sunroofs are rare and aren't cheap to put in, when i bought my skyline i made sure it had an electric sunroof, wasn't interested unless it did. Throw some rims on and she'll be pimpin :P

If your not gonna do it urself then shop round and see which will be cheaper. I cracked my head gaskets and it cost me $1600 with everything at cost price to the shop and 30hours labour. My mate cracked his and got a friend to do it for him cheap and his cost him $1700. The cars were off the...

offer the 3 but check for rust, paint damage, condition of the engine, ask how often he has to top the coolant up, (i dont top mine up nemore, it doesn't really use any) condtion of the interior. Best place to check and see if there is rust is to look up inside the boot round where the light...

Well i pulled the solenoid out of the boot, and connected to my dewalt battery and she went spark and worked. The black cable is earth at the switch just cant get power to run down the back. Send us that email jatsvl if u dont mind. What are all those other connections in the boot that...

So it's the orange wire? i have a earth orange and pinkyred cable left dangling without any connections yet. Theres one black-to-blue cable going to the solenoid, and its connected to earth there??? And checking it via alternate power supply, just run a cable from another active to the blue...

Well ive just got into ther dash of my mates vl to fix the stereo and install a sub, but while its apart id thought id fix everything else so i dont ghave to get into it again. Firstly the vinyl stuff thatys on the top thats tan, blue, grey etc. its a diff material can it just be painted with...

im guessing if its not a calais then it is just red perspect used for other models but no light behind there. I think mine was like that, been about a year since i had it apart still got the exec one in pieces in my room. But when i had it apart there was no lights or mechanical pieces behind...

not sure about s1 to series 2, but that is a berlina dash, (or s1??) Calias dashes have full rectangle orange and red around the rev out zone, where berlinas have coloured lines. There is nothing in the orange rectangle box, that is where the low oil light appears on the sl and exec models...

800 dollar offer?? if he sells it to you that's a bargain, even though its on gas. You could strip it down and make a fair profit...everyones looking for calais parts. Normal rb30 petrol calais are going for $4500 if you can pick one up cheaper ur doing alright for yourself...cheapest genuine...

6 g for an exec, u must have paid a bit for her. I was thinking about 3+g for mine. While i was on low earning wage the car just cost money and more money now its all fixed and earning more money i want another car now. It does have rust, tint is stuffed, lookin at gettin it fixed on warranty...

Blue as in Blue blue, or the headlights blue vision? Blue vision is as legal as it gets. Any other colour besides clear is illegal, not sure about green though, i don't wanbt to try, i had reds but pulled them out cuz fashion aint worth 150dollars and points when u only have 1 left. Clear...

Is it cool to have the back lower than the front? cuz mines the other way round so when i get my mates in the back it evens out and sits as low as ultra lows but isn't that illegal cuz they can only do u for defect when every1 is out of the car.

depends where you live... ive seen vl's up here in the paper for 2-4000 and they still don't last that long, its like they are hard to get a hold of, dumpped, mags, exhaust and it p plater material baby. what would a auto exec, lowered, 16" hsv mags, extractors and exhaust, stereo with 12' sub...

Well Yesterday i pulled out the cluster to fix up a bit of a lighting problem, cuz its blue i can only see the shadow of the dial, so everything came apart and the dials are now white, just gotta get a black light shining in there now, but thats not happening yet. Just thought i'd lets ya's...

I have replaced the bearings (outsides only) once before in my drivers side front wheel (did the other side aswell). Have noticed there is a rubbing grinding sorta noise from the wheel, and can sorta feel it in the pedal. Bought a new set of bearings thinking the inner bearing behind the...

i got my head replaced, and a new 3 core radiator. Temp started running at half way when stationary, think i might have had a leak in a pipe. Got them fixed, been 12 months since head was replaced, car runs just over 1 bar in temp. Coolant is only disappearing through the hole in the resivour...

i got 280 out of my last tank of about that many litres, and i found my problem is that i don't drive like a granny.

wow, some ppl need to learn to keep it in their pants. I couldn't imagine myself with a kid yet, want to wait til i'm fairly finacially secure. I was 16 when i had my first experience, got **** scared cuz the unthinkable happened, thought o well i can support a child,,,pfft was i so wrong, im...

doesn't brake fluid only peel paint, which means new paint job...or does it do damage to the metal?

mines broken on the side a bit, all the ones at the wreckers are the same...but i have been losing a little bit of coolant....not sure if i got a leak in the hose or if its coming out of the overflow, it's a fair amount im losing in 3-4days. There are dry coolant stains around the lid where it...

How'd you do that...i put padding across it so when it clips in the foam hold the lid firm. I got a little bit of vibrations around the garnish, but mostly the fuel tank.

Here's my parcel shelf and sub...the box is mounted over the fuel tank in which the sub only just fits...just a box to fit on the tank and sub in with a bigger face (front of box) just to hold the box up there (boot normally completely carpeted). Theres a gap behind the face in the lip of the...

Have you tried gracemere, i don't think they'd know of whats in demand. so you'd prob get it cheap, theres about 5 vls out there. Grey, beige and blue.

Didn't know you could get sets, took the old one in and got replacements for both sides, got nothing but 1 lot of bearings for either side.

Car is running on 16's...It tells me that my car is too low :P It'll look like **** higher, also loose it's reputation. For the next person to fix if they have a problem, had the car for 3 years, think its time for a change. I'll get a project VL when i move out of home, Again :|. The tyres...

Well i got new tyres yesterday, still makes the noise when it warms up...Cant stop the wear on the inside of the tyres cuz the car is so low and cant put a camber kit in to fix it. The pads fit in the calliper tightly. Doesn't look like the discs need machining, not completely sure. How many...

Can you get a wierd sort of a noise/feeling form bald front tyres??? I getting a constant sort of a rock in the wheel noise but faster and stronger. Pull my bearings out and checked them they are fine. Pull the calliper off, got rid of the rest of the dead frog that was crunched up inside...

That's y you make a mock up one, you don't put bigger rims on a genuine, it's like playing with god of vl's you just don't do it...Big rims were'nt big back then stock on new cars. They only just started putting some 17's stock on new cars a couple of years back.

Yeah they're probably the best vl's made, in backwards order of how where there mentioned there. Then the Calais, just so much more sleeker with the headlights, looks **** side on when the lights are up, but that's like all cars with pop up lights. Wouldn't kit a calais cuz they look nice and...
