  1. It is only a simple fix if the pressure sensors have been previously remotely mounted....if not then it is transmission out and split it to gain access to the pressure sensors.
  2. I have a Willall ti cat back...let me know your email address and I will send you some pics
  3. Most probably pressure sensor fail...same problem I had. Dont bother will Nissan...if your car is modded they will diagnose then charge you to say they cant help. If you want to transport your car to Willal in Adelaide by someone who cares about your car let me know Kev
  4. farting in your car will void the warranty let alone tuning it ;-) What area do you live in?...we may be able to recommend a tuner somewhere close to you. BTW....The R35 is not a Skyline :-)
  5. If there was any payment it would be cash and render the above moot...you are simply a wedding guest. Too many 'dudley-do-rights' these days. I got paid in beer + I had a very good perve for my efforts below :-)
  6. closest United with E85 is Minto which is about 35 minutes from Eastern Creek where can I find out more about this track day?
  7. Track day at Wakefield yesterday I haven’t been back to the track since the larger turbos were fitted. I have 64kw more but I went with pretty much shagged slicks. Pic show preparations form Saturday . Traveled to Goulburn on Sat night Full tank + 100 litres of E85 gets me to the track, 5 sessions then home. New Gopro 3..love this thing so far  Arrived at the track early.....slicks on ready to go. Best lap of the day was on my 3rd lap with a 1.03.0 (0.1 off my PB and 0.8 off the cars PB) after that the grip just went away…(slicks were finished) I was struggling with a very tail happy car so decided to call it a day at about 1pm. Tyres and brakes were spent.... brake dust!!! In car video from fastest lap yesterday...A bit messy here and there :-( A bit later I was on a flyer and the Race Chrono told me I was -0.41 coming down the back straight but then got held up on the last corner....a mid 1.02 was coming. The Race Chrono is an awesome bit of gear. A quick glance at it will tell you if you are under/over your best lap for the day...reading goes green if you are under and red if over. watch in 1080 Porsche hunting :-)
  8. I may come for cruise..please PM me details
  9. yes car is on the road again. At Sydney airport awaiting my flight to Adelaide.
  10. No idea..Im having a heap of other upgrades/preventative bits and pieces done while the transmission is out.
  11. Turns out fault was actually one of the pressure sensors...nothing wrong with the transmission itself...just a failure of a $200 inaccessible part that stops the show. All 3 (correct me if I'm wrong Martin) pressure sensors will be replaced with quality aftermarket items and will be remotely mounted so access is only an hour away instead of 12.
  12. rear sub frame with transmission and rear diff out. Will find out exact issue tomorrow sometime
  13. Stock wheels back on for Willal trip no. 2 Ready to go. (car has now been delivered to Willal) If you need to transport your car from Wollongong/Sydney area interstate by someone that actually cares Mick is the man. Some of you may be familiar with his 7.4sec Torana MV454
  14. Ill be there...try and round up as many R35s as you can.
  15. Yes, I talked to someone at Macarther Nissan who was very helpful...told him the full story. He explained the proceedure they have to go through to gain approval (from Japan I assume). Short story is the car would be there for a week or two while they diagnose/wait for a decision then I would be charged $600/$700 to then to say they can't help me. Im not too worried...I would rather put parts in it that dont fail. I was very fortunate that it happned inside my workshop. A week ago I was driving in the Sydney City centre during peak hour...I dont know WTF I would have done if it decided to pack it in there.
  16. Hi ho Hi ho....its off to Willal I go... Jumped in my car yesterday after having driven it 1/2 an hour earlier with no hint of what was to come. Started it, shift to reverse, dash lights up like a Christmas tree with faults and throttle input does nothing...car wont move. AWD system fault light is on (see top right below) along with check engine light. Plugged in my Access Port and found code P0847 Had a look at the GTR service manual...code is the following... Shit....doesn't sound good Called Martin at Willall....common problem, factory pressure sensors shit themselves. There are 3 in the transmission and are not accessible. Needs trans/diff removal and transmission disassembly to repair. I have my suspicions that the sensor is actually OK and the pressure is in fact low from a blown seal. What pisses me off is that this failure has nothing to do with any mods to the car...it happens to bone stock R35s. If my car was stock I could take it to Nissan and they would replace the complete transmission under warranty. So, car is being shipped to Willal on Friday...while the trans is out will do some bullet proofing mods. All going well Im hoping to travel from Adelaide to Melbourne Saturday 2nd Feb, stay the night and have some runs at Heathcote drags on the Sunday (there are a few R35s going for runs). Heathcote allows sub 11 sec passes with no cage...will be good to have a play with different levels of the launch control and better my single pass 10.62 at WSID This is the first and only fault I have had with the car in 2.5 years and I have absolutely flogged the arse out of this thing....cant complain
  17. hopefully not a repost http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGY9CuBbjZI&feature=player_embedded
  18. Im on my 8th 44 gallon drum of E85 from United (Rozelle Sydney) since switching from Sucrogen. The lowest ethonal percentage I have seen is 93 (I test every drum) The car gets raped hard in all different forms of motorsport and it hasn't missed a beat with United. The Caltex brew is consistantly all over the shop.
  19. Here is how I did mine....still allows for seat movement
  20. Thanks mate Nice pic from JRM Photography
