Hi there, just a short post to introduce myself. Just picked up my first skyline last week, '94 R33 and I love it!

I will be joining the QLD SAU as soon as I can fill out the form. Look forward to seeing you out and about.

Welcome Alex :D

I recognise where you work (well the carpark) and I suggest parking in the security parking! I used to work in that same complex and heard all nasty stories about the carpark and I always parked in the security parking. For $2 a day or what ever it was, it was a small price to pay for extra security :D

hey alex, welcome :D

i'll let someone else explain the RB20E thing but basically its got to do with the amount of posts you've made on the forums

Crap Isaac!! Alex, just go to your "My Controls" area and change it to whatever you want it to say!!

And please come to Chilleh!! You learn more about your car there than anywhere else!!

Hey Erin!! Was just wondering... My Warning level has gone up to 10% and I looked into it and someone from NSW named "Blitz" has said I made a stupid post in a thread in the for sale section about "work wheels" I have no idea what he is talking about and was wondering how I deal with this??

thanks for the advice, I just go to the gym there and thought i would snap a couple of pics after i washed her today. (Isn't it annoying how many inperfections you find when you wash a car for the first time ?!?!)

Also, I was thinking of putting the car on the dyno just to see how it goes as a starting point and also to check out a noise im hearing (there is a high pitched whistle when the turbo spools up only happens for like a second on full boost between 4000 and 5000rpm i think it is). I rang up FIST performance and they quoted $95, does anyone have any dealings with them to speak of? or anyone else to recommend?

Thats not a bad price for a power run.

Mercury motorsport are ok to deal with and they are a forums sponsor. They're over in newmarket road.

I've heard milaco is good but sorry no idea where they are. Its hard to find a good workshop cos people have different experiences, for every person that says a place is great theres one that says they'll never go back.

EDIT: mercury are a sau qld CLUB sponsor, not the forums

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
