Been a while since I updated.
I did get rid of the car lol raffled it as I needed to clear some money.
Anyway I bought it back a few weeks ago.
I did sort the 5th gear out before I got rid so...
All good points. I havent had it tracked yet so that won't help at all lol.
I'm running the f20 with the standard diff
Going to try sort 5th gear out then take it for tracking and MOT see how it...

I sorted out the threaded hub with a helicoil so I now have 4 tight wheel bolts haha.
Also chopped off the lug on the gear stick so I can now get 5th but it's hit and miss, so I still need to do...
Back to the drawing board lol

Checked it all. Everything is as it should be, I'll check the heater control again. But if not then maybe an air lock

Took the nova out for a test drive with my boy.
Drive alright just a few teething problems like I still don't have 5th gear and my heaters aren't blowing warm.
I also gave it a wash and on way...

Cheers mate, I just bought the vxr had it 2 weeks.
Good car just needs a couple bits sorting...
Got the side skirts finished spraying and put on today.
Still need the wheels refusing but that's gonna have to wait because I've ran out of money to spend on it lol.
So tyres and an air filter...
Been bashing my head trying to sort out the hunting idle, borrowed a brand new gm icv from Adam Beard put it on and idle was at 3k, fucked about trying to find any air leaks put new gasket on sfi box...
Yeah it drives like a completely different car with it on.
Just unstable with it of, put the power down and it was all over the road.
Put It on and it's stiffer and drives loads better, the power...
It's a brand new doughnut I put on.
Not got a proper gasket, bought one off ebay and it came and paper thin, so put it on and put loads of gasket sealer on so shouldn't have any gaps, I have sprays...
I found out what the problem was with the fuel pump not working, the wire had come out where I had connected it haha so now have a working fuel pump rather than it running all the time on ignition. ...
Got a feeling the sfi box isn't sitting flush, I only have 3 bolts in and 2 of them are rounded so not tight properly.
But can't find any anywhere, if anyone has some for sale that would be grand...
Cleaned the icv and sorted out that blocked breather bolt but still have a bit of an arratic idle when warm.
Also I have no hot air coming through the heaters tried bleeding the system and nothing...
Yeah I havent set the suspension up properly yet, one side is a little higher which is the side it pulled too.
Also not got the arb on yet

I put the wheels on yesterday after work to test it round the block, 1 of my wheel nuts won't tighten so think the thread is gone ill try a shorter bolt as I use longer ones for the spacers.
But I...
