Hi Guys,

Yes I made it onto TV, and no it is not some porn show.

Me and my car will be on DriveTimeTV on this coming Tueday night, it's on Channel 10, late after Sports Tonight.

Luckily this time I didn't have to say anything, in fact they actually gaffa taped my mouth so I couldn't speak, it's true.

Tollie the host, takes my car and gives it a damn good thrashing, hand-brake turns and 360's, my brakes were smoking after he had finished, plus he managed to collect a few witches-hats while drifting it.

This was supposedly a drive comparison between my car and a 4-door Skyline they did a while back. They also had a Stegea wagon and a JZX90(chaser) which they will be roadtesting soon.

See'ya:burnout:

Geez your generous!! I have the look but dont touch policy on my car. Used to really annoy my ex after being together for 2yrs he wasnt allowed to drive my car and all his mates used to give him crap about it - then again would you let someone that has lost their license 9 times drive your car?

Will have to take a look!!!

too right!! I'd never let some other guy take my car out and give it a working! The only person who touches my car are my bro and parents (bro coz I trust he won't, and parents coz they drive as slow as a wet week anyway)

anyone else don't have a chance (annoying when your mates KEEP asking for a drive!!

But anyway, it wasn't my car, so will tune in and check it out

did they give you anything for the privelage of thrashing your car Paul? :P

The filming was done at the end of the drag strip at the Motorplex.

Tollie has been a rally driver for years, and knows how to drive a car better than most, including myself, so I wasn't too worried. My car is built to withstand a fair bit of punishmnet, so if something breaks I just fix it with something stronger.

See'ya:burnout:

so were you on ages ago? I seem to remember a gun metal line with silver and red rims ages ago, but at that stage only had a POD and exhaust or something? And that was a show saying they were gonna road test a few imports and apart from a 4 door skyline, they didnt do any.

Oh, and if you count the NA soarer they riced up, that makes 2.

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!
