  1. Apparently air leak has been searched (by two workshops) and failed to show any results around the intake. Though will ask for it to be checked again tomorrow. A guy in the UK had the same problem with his RB26 powered Silvia, and turned out the PowerFC became faulty. He had changed everything I have done above. What's CAS?
  2. Sure hasn't... Swapped over igintion amplifiers too, no change Regapped spark plugs, no change Taking it to Autobahn tomorrow morning (of all places), and the guy there is going to try a stock 32 GTR ecu on it and see if the problem is still there and god knows what else. The guy there has 3 GTRs (two 32 and a 34) and said it could quiet possibly be the knock sensor :S After that, may take to All Star Garage..and if they seriously can't figure it out I'm just gonna leave it until I can be bothered going into the engine deeper to see if it could be something else.
  3. Ok, well I'll keep that in mind. Went to Deering this morning and they didn't want to know me and told me to go to Autobahn in Myaree. Went straight there and the guy there has three GTRs (two 32s & 34) and is going to try the stock computer on the car to see if it has the same problem. He also reckons quiet possibly the knock sensor is rooted, but was still a bit stumped at what else it could be since no one else has figured it out. If Autobahn fails, I'll give Rob a holla.
  4. About 6 weeks ago I was sick for 4 weeks straight. First 3 weeks it was cold symptons, then i was well for 2 days before a mixture of cold and hayfever kicked in and that was hell nasty. Nose running like a tap, and I was a total mess at work. At the time of me being sick, pretty much everyone else in my office was sick too. When I got better for those 2 days, a new girl started at work and I think she brought in something new which triggered off the other sickness. Thank heavens I'm all good now.
  5. I got rid of mine, but then my editor wanted me to be his Top Friend on there = Help him get laid by Myspace skanks (which he got plenty of) I uploaded some pics onto my MS and then I got an email from MS saying one of my images was inappropriate, a self harm shot of my ex gf, saing it promoted violence and that kids as young as 13 may view it. I was seriously like 'WTF, and you guys allow all these indescent shots of teenagers on MS' MS is run by paedophiles...

    Ellenbrook

    Did they have some big opening for HJ in Ellenbrook? I was at the Ellenbrook vets the other week and people thought I was at HJ's taking photos. I'll have to see if the HJ's up there is better than Midland and Mundaring (well Mundaring easily as that is a shit hole)
  7. The pain was worth it
  8. Had a workshop look at car late last week. Did compression test = all good Disconnected the 6th injector and the revs dropped so I would assume that its getting fuel to the engine. All coils are getting spark etc. Any ideas what else it could be?? I've search the forum a million times and none have the answers.
  9. Become a SAUWA member then...
  10. Thanks for the all the kind offers, but managed to borrow one off another member on Friday and unfortunately it didn't change a thing. Anyone know a good auto electrician that has worked on Skylines (SOR aswell) as I've been told it could be the wiring running between the ignitor module and my F-Con. I checked my other wiring between the F-Con and the other unit (can't rememeber what that was called) and found some dodgey connected wires so I resoldered them but still made no difference.
  11. My car has been running like crap, and it has been suggested that the ignitor module could be screwed up. (thing on top of rocker cover) If there are any RB26 owners that live SOR that would be able to lend me their module for not even a day (basically plug in, turn car on = verdict) that would be great. PM if you can help. Cheers
  12. Hasn't the new law passed where you don't have to take your car over the pits if you've brought it over from another state? (if it is road registered over there?)
  13. cash jobs ftw. Ok, lets make it ~$700 if its not a notoriously highly priced workshop then ($80 pr hour) but if you took it to a dealership they're around $120pr hour. (Not to justify anyone else charging similar)
  14. There is a topic on SAU titled 'Show us your gauges' I think in the photography section. Check that out.
  15. Well expect a bill of close to $1000 to change the hose that's worth sfa... This happened in my 33R mid last year. IMO, change it youself if you can.
  16. I may end up driving Pulsar if my R is diagnosed with a much more serious problem than what I expect atm Hell pumped to take R out again, got licence back and this happens.
  17. I just had someone look at the car and they said quiet possibly the intake manifold gasket could have blown, which is resulting in a leak of air at idle and causing the RPM to go higher. But then I don't understand why that would create the 6th cylinder not to spark :S Is it common for the coil pack harness to breakdown? Also, I've found the engine to get very hot pretty quick however all temp gauges etc are showing normal operating temperatures.
  18. A while ago the revs in my GTR jumped 400rpm (to 1900) and never went down. Did some searches on here (AAC and other things) and tried figuring out what it could be. Changed the spark plugs, no change Then a mate came around and did some tests, and then we unhooked each coil pack (one by one) and found the 6th one to be the cause. Bought some JJ coil packs, and changed them all over this morning to find the problem is still there. I'm going to try another coil pack harness to see if that is the problem. Can anyone suggest anything that might fix or tell me what the problem is? (as for mods on car if it helps: 2530s, HKS F-Con Pro and usual basic stuff)
  19. Cheers for helmet info, will check out the Vic Park ones soon.
  20. What shop is the best to purchase helmets from? I've failed to try and find a thread where I recall I think someone saying the Suzuki Bike Shop in Midland was meant to be good with good prices too. I cbf shopping around, rather just go to one shop and get the helmet with little fuss.
  21. Umm your stock front speaker location for the woofer and tweeter on the dash or a-pillar...like most cars on the market today. Splits at the rear are a waste of time imo. Plenty of topics and answers for this in the appropriate section of SAU forum.
  22. Cops are more interested that you're driving a Skyline than your undercar neons... they'll probably turn a blind eye to you and think 'Must be a N/A Skyline' lol.
  23. Before retrim in a Volvo S40 After retrim. Pink neon undercars My former Pulsar's audio install. Products used are from a brand called ICELED. 2.1 million colours, controlled by various controllers, lots of wanky features. Best LED stuff on the market (from the UK). Very expensive though with 1ft LED tubes costing over $100 each, and undercar kits at $1500. As someone said, interior neons or LEDs can enhance the interior look. I liked them for that same reason, and also made taking interior photos of the car much more appealing. You can however go down the wrong path, however done right it can be a winner. As 'for show' and 'showing off' not a good idea...I remember taking the Pulsar to an 'all performance' car cruise a couple years ago, and funny thing is that everyone was standing around looking at the Pulsar, recording clips on their phones etc. No one cared to look at the drift spec, high performance cars as there is nothing to look at when they have their bonnets and doors closed. Times have changed I know, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Pulsar could pull a similar crowd now if the gear was still in there. Do i have lights in my R, no...but would I do it if I had the right opportunity (say if I did the retrim I had planned for the car), yes I would. Plus I'll make sure to have the hp to back up the lights
  24. I've done similar in my R and I still get pretty warm air coming through. The A/C doesn't work, though better get it cranking just in time for Summer.
  25. sell rims and buy rims with proper brake clearance (like somethng to suit GTR)
