Have a look at their website (or lack thereof)

Yeah, it starts with a quick spray.. 100% of the time, at least the... handful.. of times I've tried it. I guess that makes sense also given almost everything else is ruled out.. also I suppose it starting when cold, i.e running richer due to.. it being cold and trying to warm up. That said, it's effectively a brand new Bosch 040, that is certainly pumping fuel fairly happily every other time..

Was searching for solutions to this when I found this thread as I have the same issue... In my case the doesn't really like starting even when cold, but it does start, but is hesitant to do so. I have had it start when warm but it's pretty inconsistent. Inconsistent enough for me to carry a can of start ya bastard in the glovebox. This is not an ideal solution.. Have replaced Battery (brand new), brand new spark plugs, coil packs (splitfires) Same as OP.. just sits there turning over forever (or until battery dies), for example BEFORE I bought a new battery, I had someone jump start this car with their car, and a battery pack thing, and I believe the car turned over after about the 150th attempt.

Hi all What is the official name of the thing circled in red? The picture is from a R34 (GT Sedan) Fuel tank. I need a new one of these. I need it rather quickly, because right now the existing one is creating a bit of a fuel leak. If anyone has ever taken out a 34 fuel tank it's also a pretty hefty job (at least for simpletons like me) and I'd like to get it once, right, and up and going again. Bonus points if it's a shared item with any other ADM Nissan (here's hoping it is) so I can go out and get one from a shelf somewhere. I'd rather a new one, as a 10 year old plastic part could easily soon have the same problem (though I've not seen a thread about it) Cheers, helpful forum people!

I too, bought something on Jan 18, was given a 10 day eta (all was fine, and so on).. tis now March 23. Tried to call, and phone is disconnected. Its also entirely possible they are just having problems with their phone

Yesterday saw a nice Bayside Blue R34 GT Coupe with P plates (and SAU Stickers) line up next to a ford GT-P which was revving its face off. Ford drives off like a maniac, our SAU'er drives away normally with a look on his face that simply said "dickhead" (in reference to the ford driver) +1 young SAU'er It was on the intersection of Blackburn road and Ferntree gully road yesterday

Max Boost For Standard R34 Gtt Turbo
Kinkstaah replied to Buzzn's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
And if you CAN aford what Paul is saying here, do the smarter thing and do the upgrades everyone is saying.. -
If anything, I think the second review is more positive than the first one. He credits the car with simply never breaking loose and just gripping to the track, every time, all the time, etc. The GT-R seems to have way more grip and brakes than outright power, so it will 'feel' boring. I suppose if some modders decided to add a couple of hundred HP it'd smash more things and be considerably more 'exciting' as it stresses the car's limits on grip. Now if he had've said that, everyone listening would have been happy with his judgement all of the sudden

...whether there are different ABS computers for Series 1 or Series 2 R34 N/A's? My car is a Series II. Amongst other things I won't get into, there is a question of (what is supposedly) a R34 N/A Engine loom, not connecting to the ABS ECU thats in the engine bay. I'm told this stock loom has different plugs than this stock ABS Computer. However, they've asked around, and found many other ABS computers which apparently are just like mine. This would be highly unusual if Series II are different as there are far less Series II arounds than Series I. Can anyone shed any light on this, lol.

Why is it exactly that Supras are referred to as being 'shit around the track' Youd think that going on forum-talk alone, that it should be considerably better than say a GTST or GTT, and provided it had good grip.. better than a rb26? Is it just noone sets them up for cornering, etc? Or are there other issues and things 'wrong' with the Supra that GTT's/GTR's can best it 'easily', or is it just forum bias lol

+1 for a Zombie game to actually make me want to know more about it though, after playing others in the past

Wanting To Get Back Into A Skyline
Kinkstaah replied to torque's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
FWIW, the 4 door R34 is a grand total of 20kg heavier.. IMO thats a small price to pay for two extra doors and (Possibly?) less attention from the boys in blue -
... they actually DID roll this out?

Turning Off Traction Control On R34
Kinkstaah replied to Shnid's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
You won't see it, as R34 N/A's do not have traction control. At all, period. It just doesn't exist man.. I.E it is always off. -
... unless the auto actually allows you to pick gears

Any epic recommended Auto Electricians in Vic? As you may notice, my sig may denote a few* electrical issues.

Making The R32 Water Temperature Gauge Useful
Kinkstaah replied to Bozz's topic in General Maintenance
1) Look at gauge 2) If gauge is anywhere but in the middle where it should be, correct problem ASAP -
Not much. Well other than the hilarious sig, the fact they have to get it to run with a piggyback ECU. But it's safe to say 99.9% of the issues are actually electrical in one form or another. I guess I'm just looking for someone who understands that wires carry electricity and as long as they carry it to whatever sensor is looking for what, it should be OK. Apparently 'tis not that simple.
-
So, can anyone recommend a... f**king amazing, totally awesome auto electrician? Like, trent style rep, but .. is an auto electrician?
-
I'm more than happy to send mine back if you have more potential ideas for response on a R33 turbo too
-
I got it back.. sort of. There was a lot of.. outstanding issues.. which are now getting looked at... I'll update my sig for the lulz. They only moved about 100 metres in the end.. that said I wouldn't mind if someone accidentally towed this thing off a cliff. It's pretty much the worst car ever..

Hey if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, so.... .. .... ...

Thats more or less what I was thinking, the car had 255's all round before on Potenza RE050A's. He recommended I go smaller. I just found it odd. In the future I'm happy to go back to a 255 profile for better grip. I wasnt exactly being stingy, the tyres he ended up selling me (which grip well, at least atm for what the car is, I can't complain, though I don't notice the steering to be noticably better) were considerably cheaper than the ones I walked in and attempted to buy. So as this is odd from a sales point of view, I thought I'd ask the wiser minds here. Thanks for the! feedback.

Dropped my car off at the same place it was at for 14 months, for a 'week' for them to finish 'some™' electical issues (about 25 of them). Chances of seeing this car in 1 week, I'm wagering low.
-
I realise that, which was why I was skeptical. Surely more tyre, more grip? Unless he was suggesting somewhat of an offset to counter for a skyline's (somewhat) natural desire to ....oversteer? Uh. Would have thought they were more prone to understeer. I'm just trying to understand why, when presented with a customer who wanted to buy 4x 255's, that he would try and sell them a cheaper tyre (as its smaller) under the premise of providing better handling. The angle he was going was that it was physically harder to handle the car (i.e, turn the wheel) if you have big fat fronts. Is this, for lack of a better term - Completely incorrect? Or one of those things thats technically correct but so infintely small an effect as so it wouldn't be there at all?
