Terminal

hehe, i might have had a chance, but i don't think a skyline with an NRMA dude digging into it really gets chicks going...

hehe, i mean the front bar and exhaust tip were gone as in they got the crap scraped out of them when being pulled up onto the tow truck. Luckily there's an auto electrician around the corner at the servo, but i'll have to wait until tuesday to get it looked at, stupid public holidays.

Finished work at 12:30am, decide to go into civic. i get into civic and decide to get a subway. as soon as i park, these guys in a pink VL turbo get pulled over by the Fuzz right behind me, so i'm parked in. i figure they'll be gone by the time i get my subway. i get back to the car, they're still there arguing about something stupid. i press the remote to get into my car, nothing. i press again... still nothing. i hold the bugger down until i almost break it, nothing. i sit there thinking... then just open the door manually. the alarm breaks into song at full anooying volume, and i rush into the car to get the bonnet open to turn the siren off. i'm doing all this while 3 cops and 4 blokes in this VL turn and watch me. The coppers keep an eye on me the whole time they're there as i fiddle with this and that. The cops move on, and i end up calling NRMA, who take only an hour to get there. The guy gets into my car, fiddles with the alarm, then digs into the recesses of under my dash, pulling everything out. after 10 minutes of trying to get the car started, he pulls his head out "nah, sorry mate, she's f#$ked" apparently its the only time he hasn't been able to get around an imobiliser/alarm system. He calls a tow truck for me, which then arrives another hour later. we hook it all up, then he starts to drag it up the truck. there goes my front bar and exhaust tip. i finally get home a good 3 hours after i finished work with a car that has its dash in pieces and no go... Now i have a splitting headache

hehe, if i go slower than 60 im dead? that's alright then, i don't usually go that slow

nah oil is fine, it's an electrical ticking noise, like a solenoid clikcing on and off at random intervals. whenever my idle is playing up is when it happens. if the idle is being a good boy on that day it won't do it. that's what led me to believe possible injector problem.

Saw a nice R33 gun grey pull onto Barton highway at the lights this arvo, and also a stock looking white S1 R33 at the woolies carpark in dickson about half an hour ago

be careful. i had the green HKS one and when i washed it it destroyed itself. when i put it back on, chunks of it kept breaking off and hitting my AFM and clogging it up, causing the whole car to battle when driving. ended up costing me $70 for a new filter. much brighter green though.

that looks good. mine came blue with the white letters when i bought the car, i always wondered if it was a factory thing or someone had painted them. easy for me though, i didn't have to do anyting.

Spotted: A nice black R33 with a big shiny black spoiler. looked impressive, but you could almost fly with that thing. Also a white R33, and a Gun Grey R33 as well. a good day for skylines it was.

just your pads yelling out "change me!!" they're made to make a bad noise when they're getting close to nothingness, it's all normal. mine did the same thing, so i changed them, but when i did, i notice i had about half the pad left on them. they might just need a clean with some brake cleaner. pull them apart and see. pads will set you back about $150 for a full set from repco.

yeah i had this problem, got it fixed yesterday for $650 at an exhaust shop. they said the parts were half of the cost, as they were Nissan parts.

I'm furious. i went to the RTA web site to see if the licence plates i wanted for my next car were available, and you can't buy them outright anymore. Does anyone know how long this has been changed for? $100 a year for basic plates is a bloody ripoff, stuff you Bob Carr.

damn right a 260RS

Ok, i did a quick search for the same problem, but i couldn't find anything. I have an odd ticking noise coming from my engine bay, it's irregular, and only happens when im idling. it's coming from the drivers side of the engine bay. i'm fairly certain i have a dodgy AFM, and my only theory is that it's playing havok with the injectors so they're turning on and off randomly or whatever injectors do at idle. the idle does jump around slightly, between 700 and 1200, but usually sits around 700 - 800. it goes away as soon as i rev it and never happens while driving. is there anything serious that could go make that noise on that side of the car? it's sort of like an electronic ticking like a solenoid going spastic. anywho, any help appreciated.

ECR33 is the GTS-T and HCR33 is the GTR

Excellent, i want to import a Stagea soon, but i'm not sure who's the best value/quality yet. should be good to see how these guys handle it.

when i bought my car it had a 3 inch hole cut into the side of the chasis rail. i don't have an FMIC, but someone must have had one there during the cars lifetime. i didn't know what it was until i realised it was for an fmic. it's not sheet metal i can tell you that. my car passes raodworthy and everything with it, i don't think they even see it down there.

that's the end of semester, study time for exams. i'm out

Spotted: a nice white R32 GTR with a terrible park in the woden carpark. i have the bug covered dusty gun-grey R33 parked in front of you.

would a better option be to sell the gts and get a gts-t? unless you just want to be different by having a supercharger. its all up to you.

i'm interested, how did you get the light open? i tried for a while and ended up cracking the red bit, so i gave up and just got a 2nd hand one.

i was in front of you then i went into the turning lane. my car doesn't look like a skyline at the moment, more a dustball on wheels.

Spotted, Kryostasis last night outside UC, i was absolutely smashed.

im going to be extremely hung over, but if its at a reasonable time i'd be keen, i've just gotten my suspension repaired and a full 3" exhaust system installed

a white 33 went past me on belco way just past caswell dr at about 4:45, then as i was turning into haydon dr i saw a nice red 31 with a fmic across the way.
