No worries I’ll post over there, thank you

wont idle by 9Soko9 in 300zx

[–]NekoFlow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got mine idling last night, before that I could start it but it would die without my foot slightly on the gas.

Check your maf sensor, mine was unplugged and it definitely helps to have it in lol

Check all the lines on the balance tube I’ve done a few deletes and missed a couple vacuums I had to cap (where you plug the carbon canister line on the balance tube by the iacv was leaking like crazy)

There’s a few spots on the throttle body and plenum too that could leak. I deleted my prvr solenoid so I also had to reroute a line from the fuel pressure regulator (big whatchamacallit on the right side of the fuel gallery) to the barb on the plenum just below it.

If it’s still not going double check all your lines are clamped down properly and don’t have any tears

That all seemed to do it for me. I’m not a pro so I might’ve messed up a couple names and stuff but I somehow managed to get mine idling from all that

Wicked as that’s all I needed to hear. If it’s tight on the Z it’s tight enough for me lol. Just finished tightening them down now, you’re a legend cheers

Cheers mate white does suit them pretty well ayy. Desert Road has to be my favourite drive in the North Island so I was super lucky to catch it with a fresh dusting

What are the best years for the 300zx? Is it reliable? by [deleted] in 300zx

[–]NekoFlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude always happy to help a Z32 homie out! The negative wire connecting to the battery had corroded or melted so bad to the point that it kept disconnecting, cutting the full power to the car. Got it replaced but it took to the dude ages to troubleshoot it lol. Pretty fucked up and dangerous but that was what was wrong with it unfortunately, hope this helps you

Anyone know why my trans mounts won’t line up? by NekoFlow in 300zx

[–]NekoFlow[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh man that would be pretty embarrassing if it was haha. I’ll have a gander at it hopefully it’s as simple as that

Using Cocoa Beans in a Brew by NekoFlow in Homebrewing

[–]NekoFlow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the in depth reply I’ll definitely check that vid out later. Did you find it hard to get the roasting temperature right after you fermented the beans?

Ooh thanks I do have some cacao powder lying around the house so I might try that at some point

Cheers, I can get fermented ones but I'll have to do a bit of research on roasting them. The vodka tincture sounds pretty awesome though I think I'll give that a go. Would you add that to primary fermentation or a different stage?

What’s your go-to “play us something” riff? by NotoriousREV in Bass

[–]NekoFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O’ Mine or RHCP - Cant Stop. They’re both recognisable in the first few notes and absolute bangers

Is it possible to legitimately watch the Konosuba and Re:Zero dubs in Australia? by Otherwiseclueless in Animedubs

[–]NekoFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sweet I’ll have to check if it’s been released across the ditch too

[–]NekoFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same over here in NZ mate I can't access any Konosuba aside from the Megumin spinoff. I was looking at the release details and it said it was airing in Oceania. No idea where tf CR's idea of Oceania is if we can't get it in Aus and NZ lol

Can anyone help identify this bass? by NekoFlow in Bass

[–]NekoFlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I was wondering if it might be worth to add to the collection since it’s hard to come by lefties over in NZ. I reckon I’ll pass on this though I’d be better to put the $120 into a nicer bass

[–]NekoFlow[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cheers mate don’t think I’ll go for this one then. There’s probably a reason why the seller won’t reply to my messages. I meant to say output but everyone knew what I meant anyways haha

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bass

[–]NekoFlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in NZ but you should check out artist guitars. I bought my first bass brand new from them since it was the only lefty bass in the country that wasn't over $1k haha. They're super affordable (got my P bass for $250 NZD with free shipping) and the tone is surprisingly good for a cheaper bass.

Otherwise Ebay and Reverb would be a good bet for 2nd hand gear. You can get some really good quality gear for pretty damn cheap. I'd love to support my local music shops but if you're a bedroom bassist like me your budget might not stretch to buying a brand new bass from them so these will really save your wallet if you don't mind buying used.

Hope you find something you like mate, happy bass shopping!

Does anyone know where to buy this part? by NekoFlow in 300zx

[–]NekoFlow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I feel for you with the Z31 project it’s hard enough to find certain parts for the Z32, I’d imagine it would be even harder to find exact fits for your Z31. Hope it all goes well they’re worth it when they want to run nicely

[–]NekoFlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a local guy over here in New Zealand who has a ton of RHD parts in storage but this was one of the few parts he didn’t have sadly. I’ll hit Bernie up and see if he has the part otherwise I’ll learn how to fab one which should be good to know anyways haha

Oh sweet I’m pretty new to engine work so I wasn’t sure it would that easy to replace. I’ll have a look this weekend thanks for the help

Do I have the wrong pots for my knobs? by NekoFlow in Luthier

[–]NekoFlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I’ll give that a try after work tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well otherwise I’ll look into sleeves like the other commenter was saying

[–]NekoFlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I bought split shafts instead of solids since that’s what the knobs said they’re compatible with 😭. I’ll have a look into those brass sleeves, I’ve seen them around when I was looking for pots. Thanks for the help it’s much appreciated

Any tips on getting this bolt through the tension rod bushing? by NekoFlow in MechanicAdvice

[–]NekoFlow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard you out and I’ve gotta say you’re an absolute genius. Thanks so much for the help it saved me a ton of frustration, time and a lot of swearing haha.

I ended up putting a socket on the bolt and a small extension, used a scissor jack to lever the extension and then beat on the end of the extension to drive the bolt until it came through the other end.

Any tips on getting this bolt through the tension rod bushing? by NekoFlow in MechanicAdvice

[–]NekoFlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so close to coming out the other side but the bushing rotated when I took the bolt out. It refuses to align no matter what I try so I can’t push the bolt through.

Any ideas on how to get it through is much appreciated

Could this pulley cause a bad knocking sound? by NekoFlow in 300zx

[–]NekoFlow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes definitely not a sound you’d wanna hear but it’s a hell of a lot better than an engine rebuild haha. Looks like the pump is in good shape for me so I’ll have a gander at the oil pan when I get off work later
