Crossroads Cruise Date: Friday Night, 4th December Time: 8:30pm meet for 9pm depature Meet Point: City Beach Car Park, Challenger Parade Category: Bit of everything Ok everyone, Melski and I are organising this cruise for the 4th of december, which is a Friday night. We are meeting at the City Beach car park Challenger Parade at 8:30pm for a 9pm departure, and the cruise will involve a coastal run, a hills run including a zig-zag sprint, and a tunnel run, so it should be a pretty epic cruise! As this is a non-members cruise, ANYONE is welcome to join in, doesn't matter what car you drive, so if you have some mates that you would like to come along then feel free to do so, and please feel free to post this cruise on any other car club forums! We are hoping for a huge turnout, so the more the merrier! Hope to see you there

Hey just gonna chase up something that Yaah31 mentioned, i have a physically small battery which has quite high CCA, but he said my problem may have something to do with that, as the battery was designed for starting the car and not running large sound systems and a lot of electrics like my car does. Would anyone be able to clarify this for me? I don't have a huge sound system, but obviously two amps, a sub and six aftermarket speakers is a little bigger than factory so it may be affecting things? Cheers for any help

Lol ^ I take offense to being called a dumbcunt But seriously. Will read again. Needs more dragons though

Lol classic SAU thread

Dragons? Everyone knows dragons break if you try to do skids

Lol yeh sounds fine to me

Ummm... did anyone else manage to find what the actual problem was in there? You should probably put in what is actually wrong lol

Lol fuck you Sunny

Ok, so Yaah31 came and checked out my car for me, turns out there is nothing wrong with the battery or the alternator lol. Only thing is that there was a volt missing between the alternator and the battery, so there is some resistance somewhere. Don't know what caused the car to do what it was doing though

Beyond Custom do custom piping, im not sure if they would do it for a GTR but i don't see why not

Cheers Walker, i was going to ask you to check my battery for me anyway Send me a text after work tomorrow yeh

You know if i couldn't drive a Nissan then that pretty much rules out most of my favourite cars... And if im keeping it in the same price range, i hate to say it but i would probably buy a brand new Honda Civic Hybrid Possibly one of the most gutless, understeering pigs on the road... But something about averaging 4.3L/100km is just appealing lol. And they aren't bad looking cars, at least it isn't a hatch back. And the engine turns itself completely off when you come to a stop, and on again when you take your foot off the brake, that is f**kin cool! Thats probably what i would buy, considering the idea was we have to keep it in the same price range... Half the cars people mentioned here are 5 times as expensive as any Nissan! *EDIT* Knowing how to beat the pig sensor FTW!!

Yeh ive got a multimeter, will test the battery out myself. But even if the battery is undercharged, it could still be the alternator? If the alternator isn't charging the battery then obviously it is going to have less charge. But i suppose if the alternator wasn't charging it then the battery would be dead... I just don't see how the battery could be causing issues while the car is on, surely once the alternator is spinning then the battery is no longer necessary?

So take it to an auto sparky? Lol i know in my car is probably not the right place, but i didn't get any on the seats! Someone had told me awhile ago that my alternator may be overcharging my battery, said the voltmeter was reading a bit high while running. Apparently it is supposed to read 14.2 while it is charging the battery, then drop down once the battery has charged. But mine would always read ~14/14.2. I suppose the best bet is to take it to an auto sparky and get them to check my battery and alternator? HID headlights require 30000 volts to ignite, after that they use less power than a halogen bulb.

Oh hell cool ^ Pitty my leather interior won't be here by then

Hey all, On my way to uni today i noticed my car was being a bit odd. First when i started it up, it started first time and everything but at a lower rev range than usual. Usually when i start it, it fires up to about 1100rpm then drops down to about 1000rpm which is where it idles at. This time it fired up to about 700rpm, dropped to about 600rpm and stayed there for about a second, and then went up to 1000rpm and continued idling normally. I was kinda iffy about it, but didn't think much of it and just pulled off. Everything was ok while driving, except i noticed my voltmeter was sitting at about 13.8 ~ 13.9, usually it sits between 14 and 14.2. Didn't really think much of that either lol, guess im making a bad habit of that. But when i stopped at a traffic light, after about a minute of sitting there the revs would drop right down to about 600rpm and the car would give a little shudder, then revs went back up to 1000rpm. The thing that made me believe it could be electrical is when the revs dropped, the voltmeter dropped to about 10! and then went back up when the revs went back up. It did this about 4 times on the way to uni, but only when i was stopped at a traffic light and had been sitting there for a bit, and then everything went back to normal. Everything seemed fine otherwise, just the revs and volts dropping and the car giving a bit of a shudder. Now i just went out side to experiment and see if i could figure it out, and i noticed that when the car is off and i turn the gauges on, the voltmeter reads just below 11 volts, about 10.8 ~ 10.9. Bit odd, usually it sits at about 12 something. Also when my car is off, only one headlight turns on, and i can't turn my highbeams on at all. Might add here that i have HID low beams and high beams, but i used to be able to turn everything on with my car off. All works fine when the car is running though. My guages also do that self checking sweep when you turn them on, and while they are doing this the dash lights flicker. Again works fine when the car is on. Could this be the end of my batteries life, or possibly the alternator? Or maybe im way off and its something completely different? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! *EDIT* Should also mention that if i turn my headlights on while the car is off, the voltmeter drops to about 9 volts Cheers, Martin

Ohhh i see, fair enough. I thought you just wanted to find a workshop that would do the conversion for you. Hmmm I can't help you with that one then lol, but i agree with Renegade, check out the R31 club, they may be able to help you Yeh probably true that, i know for a 33 you would be looking at about $4000, but i guess a 31 would have cheaper and more readily available parts? Not that expensive then, but even so... if all you wanted was a manual 31 then it would probably be cheaper to just find one. Good luck with it all Kayla

Lol most people on here don't bite, don't need to be scared to ask. Don't understand why you need help just because you are a girl though... And there are plenty of women on these forums that may be able to help you Anyway, in answer to your question, you should look in the consolidated workshop thread, give those shops a ring and find out who can help you. Or im pretty sure KYP do auto to manual conversions. Beyond Custom, XSpeed... I think they do it too. Try using the search function, this topic has been raised plenty of times before. But just as a matter of curiosity, why do you want to do a conversion? They arent cheap, youre probably looking at between $3000 and $4000, maybe more. Considering you own an R31, isn't that coming close to the value of your car? Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to sell your car and find a manual 31?

Just took some new photo's for my MV entry form, so these are the most recent ones

Cool, cheers for that, i thought that would be the case

Only 4 weeks away and i haven't heard anything back yet, does that mean my car didnt get in???

PM member Yaah31, he knows his shit

Mine sits at about 85 with no oil cooler. The one time when i went for a long drive i noticed my oil temp gauge showed 90 and my water temp gauge was only showing 60 when usually it sits at about 90 as well. But when i drove home everything was back to normal. Have you tried taking it for a longer drive?

You should just check out the consolidated workshop thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...hr-t191756.html Just give those workshops a call, they are all reputable and if they can help you then youre set

This is completely off topic but i gotta ask lol, is the chick in your avatar wearing a Dirty Deeds shirt???
