Recommended Posts

yeah, i'm from liverpool in sydney. i came down to canberra saturday evening with my mate. (i've been to canberra the past 3 weekends). i thought that i'd head back with you canberra skyliners, and then back to sydney with the sydney mob.

and yes, i hear you guys saying CANBERRA??? 3 weekends in a row?? well, i actually like the place. nice and laid back. and for some reason, i am sure the VB down there has a little bit of a different taste to sydney! i think i've spent more time in canberra drunk than i have sober! I will be down in a couple of weeks again, so perhaps we can catch up then.

cheers, MARK

The only time I goto Canberra is when I pass through to goto the snows :shake:

mate, you'd soon change your mind if you were single. the girls are very friendly in canberra. well, that's my experience anyway. somewhat more friendlier than the sydney chicks!

i think it's due to the fact that all the guys in canberra are busy bashing off to all that porn they have and the girls would jump at anything from a different state.

j/k

got a bit bored there on a saturday morning, so a chick down there took me to fyshwick to have a look at the shops. i've only ever been to a few, but canberra's shops weren't any better than sydney's shops! so i dunno what all the hype is about!

cheers, MARK

nice photos ryan. getting better biarch

yeah some of the ones that came out crappy was because

a) the suspension in the car is hard as hell and its hard to take photos whilst you're getting thrown everywhere :lol:

and

B) because them sony's are a bit slow to take pics on the move!

that's not gonna stop me from buying one tho :)

i've decided,

Sony DSCP51 with 128mb Memory Stick, extra batteries, tripod and carry case for $1070.. Not a bad package for around $1k i think.

Looks like I'm a little behind with the posts... (you must be getting sick of hearing this :D ) But thanks again to Shell and everyone else who had a hand in organising the trip.

We need to have a lot more outings like this.

It was great to meet so many people that are so enthusiastic about Skylines...its a shame we didn't have more time as I only got to talk to a few of you (guess I'll have to wait till the next one...)

I've got a bunch of pics too, and if I manage to sort out my web site, I'll post them up.

BTW Mark, I've seen a couple R31's getting around down here.

I met a guy last year who owns a really nice black 2 door with an RB20DET in it....very nice.

Last I saw it, it was for sale too.

Also, me and Jay just bought a couple handhelds, so that should help with our sense of direction next time :)

Anyhow, that's enough from me...

hehe how'd you dig this baby up?!

:cheers: I typed in his name of Coxy in the search and it came up with some posts he did.

He has a R34 GTST and I've got a MY00 WRX. And I just love reminding him that I beat him. :D I was hoping to get a reation; but it looks like he doesn't get on this forum much.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
