Hi Guys and Gals,

I am planning to drive down to Syd from QLD during the easter vacation And being my first time for such a long drive, I really want some advice from you guys. Anything need to be done to the car before and after the journey? Any place on the way or in Syd I must see? ( I dont mind stop in a nice town for a night ) OH, and I heard that ppl under 25 can't drive a turbo car in Syd, is that true? If so, I might be in trouble. ( sometimes you just wanna get older, insurance etc.... ;) )

anyway, Looking forward to your ideas, Thx alot! Hoping to meet some nice skyliners in Syd, and I might drive to Canberra too, anyone wanna join me? Happy easter everyone~~ :):)

Ryan

Just be carefull when you get onto the F3 at hexham and your going towards sydney (last 2 hours of trip) there is a 90 zone... Cops love that 90 zone.

So when the speed changes from 110 to 90 on the freeway DO 90 =)

Theres plenty of speed camera's on the pacific hwy, but there are signs before each one so you should be right. Should be plenty of cops around if you come down during easter too.

Theres a lot of roadworks going on too, so watch out for massive trucks moving slowly and throwing up stones/mud.

You might have a struggle finding 98 petrol in some of the towns, just fill up in the bigger places. I know theres definately 98 in Coffs Harbour, i was just up there last weekend.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
