The report was simply that they were pedestrians. There was nothing in the report to suggest that the driver was in any way "at fault" - but as I said, the degree of damage indicates (to me, at least) that the car was travelling at some speed. The windscreen was almost caved in, and the leading edge of the bonnet had been pushed back and up. I don't believe there is any hard evidence to indicate any act of idiocy or otherwise on the part of either party involved. It may be possible to inflict that level of damage to a R32 travelling at the speed limit. So let's not start slamming the driver for what happened. And actually, it was only the mother who died (my bad).

A woman and her 12 yo daughter were struck and killed by a Skyline (probably GT-R) overnight in Melbourne. There was a considerable amount of damage to the Skyline, so I suspect the driver was hoofing it. I truly hope it was not one of ours.

CENTRETDC is when the piston is right at the upper most point of travel up and down the cylinder. If you now can't work out the whole meaning...

This one gets asked at least once each month. Surely you can remember seeing a similar question / answer in the past 4 weeks? And this one has been asked very recently And this one gets asked / answered about every week! As does this one.[rant]It's not that it's a spelling contest, it's just that some of us actually learned, and remember, how to spell - and we don't have time to sit around for half an hour trying to decipher some crappy word that the writer has been too lazy to look up in a dictionary when they aren't certain of the spelling. Or to sit around for an hour to decipher some crappy sentence when the writer has no idea how to contrstruct a sentence or use punctuation.[/rant]

Probably lots of people could tell you - after they did a SEARCH

Have you had the injectors cleaned recently? Have you tried heel-toeing on the downchange? Maybe it doesn't like ingesting hot air from the engine bay.

Really doesn't matter how hot you have the trigger (within reason) - You only want to prevent the coolant from boiling. 90 is fine as a switch-on temperature. The switch in the radiator switches a relay in the block immediately behind the battery. You tap into the OUTPUT of that relay to TRIGGER a relay that powers your new thermo fan.

Roll / sway bars have nothing whatsoever to do with traction. Roll bars stop body roll through corners. As a rule-of-thumb, stiffer front roll bars increase UNDERSTEER, stiffer rear roll bars increase OVERSTEER. The stiffness of a roll bar is also proportional to the diameter of metal in the bar. So a 27 mm HOLLOW bar may be lighter (less stiff) than a 24 mm solid bar. I found this when I replaced a 25mm (hollow) rear bar on my GTS4 with a 24mm SOLID bar. You need to check all the properties of the bars in question, and decide what you want the bar to do, before it can be determined which bar is best. That said, Whiteline has done a heap of work working out the best combo of bars (and other suspension components) for these cars under Australian conditions.

No, we just said that to try and scare you. Looks like it worked!

Nissans are extremely susceptible to voltages. Bad voltage equates to bad running.Get the alternator tested; if it's a dud, replace it.

Nothing you can do about it. It's the sound of the injector solenoid engaging and disengaging.

Have you tried cleaning it? I think there's a 'how to' somewhere on here.

1) Isn't the pin the eye mounts on "tapered". That should match the taper in the rubber. But presumably it should face in the direction that makes it easiest to get at to adjust (inwards?) 2) You will have to lever down the swing arm - use a shovel handle or similar as a lever (I usually use a sledgehammer).

Get a leak-down test.

A 35 profile tyre on 20" rims on a Skyline is FAARR TOOO TAALLL.As a rule-of-thumb, for each 1" wheel diameter change, the profile changes by 10. Most Skylines run a 17" rim with a 45 profile tyre. You are running a 20" rim - 3" bigger - which means you should only be running a 15 profile tyre. That basically amounts to "wrap a strip of rubber around the rim, and call it a tyre". With such a small sidewall, the car will handle like crap. And a car that doesn't handle is a car that isn't safe. An 18" rim is the biggest I would fit to a Skyline (I actually run 17s).

Did the cams get aligned correctly? Did he reset the timing correctly?

The really (stupidly) obvious question - the fuel hoses are connected to the rail correctly?

I know you've sorted it yourself, but I thought I would add that ordinarily it's grounded via one of the bolts that holds the ignitor module in place.

Those are 2 different measurements. BACKSPACE is the actual distance from the inner rim of the wheel to the mounting face. OFFSET is the distance from the (vertical) centre of the rim to the mounting face.BACKSPACE is always +ve. OFFSET can be +ve or -ve (Skylines, and most modern cars, run +ve offset). (PS, it's BRAKES, not BREAKS!)

The fan is a power consumer, not a power generator. If you can't detect any power at either terminal, then there is a problem elsewhere that is preventing the delivery of current to the fan motor.Try applying direct battery power across the terminals of the fan motor. Also, this fan is controlled by the thermal switch in the bottom tank of the radiator - check it is working.

Wolf also does a PnP, and it uses a MAP sensor.

Silver barrel, basically located under the brake master cylinder.

Sorry, my bad. It's the voltage regulator (built into the alternator) that is kaput if the voltage output increases with revs. Probably just as easy to replace the alternator.

I managed to find one at Central Motor Wreckers in Ballarat - $4G, engine and (auto) gearbox only. All-up cost was around $8G, after converting the engine to accept manual gearbox, and adding Wolf 3D ECU. The Stagea runs 4.083 diff ratios - it is relatively easy to swap your current diff (crown wheel AND pinion gear) into the Stagea housing. I eventually changed to the Stagea ratios front and rear, because the RB25DET had so much more torque that I didn't need the standard (R32) 4.375 ratios
