Are those holes in the grilles of the speakers? If so, could you please take a closeup pic with the grille removed? Thanks a lot!

A *little* oil around there is not a big issue, but check the O2 sensor thread. Apparently Nissan recommends changing that sensor every 40,000K's and I doubt your mechanic did that. Then hit up the spark plugs if he didn't change those, if he did, find out what went in there and check that they are the right gap and heat rating. After all that, reset ECU and let it relearn?

Stan, thanks for asking, that's fine to use man =-] If anyone wants a pic of their car removed because of the plates on it, let me know. =-]

Just a few amateur shots for you all. =-]

My apologies, they have changed it in the newer Unidens obviously. =-]

I need one! I emailed a couple of days ago, Mearcat!

This sounds like it's going to be a little bigger than the usual Northern Beaches cruises. =-]

Does anyone read my posts? They take DOUBLE-A batteries, and three of them... (unless they changed it for the newer models.)

SteveGTS4 pulled one off a series 1 GTST, and it wasn't ball-bearing. Noone is correcting either of us though!

I only need the LED =-[

Clicking? My aircon clicks for 20 seconds and then stops, but it will click again as it changes vents or temperature. Is that normal? (sorry to go OT on the thread)

Palm Beach itself is nice, but not well lit.

Photoshop motion blur! weeee!!

Does anyone have a pic of an R33 parcel shelf they could post up please? Mine has filthy big holes cut into it, and I want to know what a stock one looks like. I've heard of rear pods, and i'm guessing they are similar to the front door pods? Thanks!

Man... buy better batteries! I change mine every 6 months or so. And there'd be at least 3-4 long cruises in that time.

COme to think of it.. I used rubber self-adhesive strips around there. Prolly could use rubber everywhere anyway. I bought mine in a roll about 3m long from a hardware store. Nothing special.

My Commodore reacted well with self-adhesive foam strips. I undid my boot garnish (the plastic between the two tail-lights) and ran that foam all along it, then screwed it back together. The foam is thin, and compresses well when you tighten the screws back up. I did the same for the licence plate... just take the plate off, flip it over to see the back of it, then run the foam strips along all four sides. The boot.. my Berlina had reinforcing on the inside (same as the Skyline), and the welds holding the reinforcing onto the actual boot had cracked and come off with all the vibration. I stuffed a bit of foam here and there so that the two metals couldn't touch each other... dodge job here, and i'm sure a welder could have just done a few spot-welds that would have solved the problem. The bumper, I dunno... maybe take it off, and check that the bumper supports (metal bracket things) aren't misaligned, then wrap the supports in foam, and hang the bumper back on them? Trial and error there, but maybe someone else has a better solution?

I'm a one-man gang! =-D

Nice one! Thanks, Sly!

Hmm... how fast do they make it down the straight? Today's Bathurst cars reach 300km/hr. Well, I own a 96 GTST, 2dr manual... and to be totally honest, when I "allegedly" raced my Skyline-owning mates, I don't recall losing to any R33 GTST. My mods matched theirs closely enough. I had a VP Berlina V8 Series 2. PaceMaker extractors, 2.5" exhaust, heads ported, polished and shimmed.... umm... oh I had a remapped chip in my ECU put in. No idea what power I was making, but each mod added so little at a time that I didn't notice the overall difference. soo.. it's a really open-ended question, and to be honest.. if it's an auto r33 n/a up against a vs auto v6, I still beleive the Commodore would be quicker. Those 3.8L motors have a fair bit of torque, and the Executive has no power options to weigh it down too much.

I am really sure that it's you... well, what do you think? I finally got one!

Damn! Who drives a BMW at work? *thinks* You must be on level 1? GTR withdrawals... BMW avatar... AndrewH?

Is the aim in the end to make a car look completely computer-rendered? (with additional mods)?

Eep! I don't mind the scaling, but the angle of the bar and the angle of the car make things really difficult... Here's a really rough and embarrasing chop:

Shows how bored I am at work... rather than telling you to press all the buttons, hold down all the buttons, and play with the dials, i'm searching for a manual! http://www.alpine.co.jp/alpine/owners/oml_index2.html Japan is the only site that holds manuals... from there it's all dynamic and the URL doesn't change. Hahaha!! Here it is... in Japanese =-p http://www.alpine.co.jp/alpine/owners/oml_...da-9835j_om.pdf
