What have you tried so far to diagnose the issue? I'd start with checking fuel pressure.

I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.

What do the harnesses mount to?

Another vote for installing them and see how you go. I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer? Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively). And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

@Stringycheese Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop? There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

So of these and these, which ones have ethanol in them?

If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be?

I have to ask, if all your fuel is the same, why did you buy and install a flex sensor? I'm so confused, what do you use the flex sensor calibration tables for?

Makes sense that e10 is e10. Sure if it's e85 and winter, drop the e content to aid cold starts but at only 10% ethanol content, there is no reason to change the formula. Is there any e85 in your area?

You'll find a lot of skylines here drink more then a stock SL500.

Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing. I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

Welcome mate. No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you. The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

Good idea. It's been a long time since I've driven anything modern-ish/sporty-ish thing. Last thing I drove was a Kia Stinger GT and I thought it was rubbish =/

Do you mind if I ask how much this cost to get setup? Currently I put a rear rack on my bike, load up a duffle bag and ride to the track. The ride home can get a bit sketchy with how exhausted I am, if this isn't crazy expensive it would be a much better option for sure.

Nope lol but thanks for posting it

Yep that is a factor for sure. I wonder how much further the gtst's can go. I wouldn't be surprised if they are relatively tapped out and only the GTR's continue to grow. But then again my crystal ball doesn't work too good. I've never seen a R33 towing a track bike, that is interesting though.

A birdy on my shoulder is also telling me to do this.... But then the thought process goes, if our shit boxes are selling for $35,000ish and M240i's are now dropping into the $35,000ish range.... do I wave a magic wand and turn the shit box into a M240i? Then I get the ZF for free and it comes with a free B58 and a modern container to put them all in. Would feel very strange not having the shit box around though after all the time I've dumped into it.... but the thought is getting more tempting with each day. ... could put one of those detachable tow bars on the M240i and tow the bike to the track... can't do that with the shit box.... I dunno. The longer I procrastinate though the cheaper the M240i's get, I assume there will be a cross over point one day where I pull the trigger on it.

@GabsReDeal Any chance of finding a new mechanic?

@silviaz first thought is you are folding air into the filler as your mixing the hardener through it, GTS beat me to that. Next thought is, maybe too much hardener was used. Unfortunately there are a lot of variables that can give you pinholes. Maybe consider weighing out the filler/hardener to remove this variable.

Made me smile lol

Knowwhatchatmeanforsure. I really want one, but as I already have an IC7 I don't think I'll ever be able to justify the upgrade.

Have you seen the firmware changes so now everything is customisable on the dash?

It's too sexy not to install lol. Plus now that you have full control over the dash design and layout, you could make it look just like the factory cluster. Might even be pretty convincing with the UC10 (no ugly buttons on the sides) in a 3D printed surround.

The ECU has an internal temp sensor as well, it will throw a CEL on your sexy Haltech dash if there is an issue with temps. Seems like you can also link ECU temp to engine protection in Nexus as another option.
