Hey hey!

Well since the Sydney crew are coming up on the 23rd of April i thought we should at least give them a warm reception! So i've planned to arrive down at the foreshore around midday to grab some carpark spaces and so we can chat, bbq, etc untill they arrive.

Date: 23rd April 2006.

Time: 11:45am - Midday.

Where: Newcastle foreshore (try to get around the middle area next to one of those big car parking areas).

Who: The loyal newcastle skyline crew!

So make sure you bring a comfy chair, sky of food and drink and lots of sunblock (or even better.... a big beach type umbrella). Hopefully we can get a few of use together so we can catchup before the sydney cars arrive, because we will be too busy introducing ourselves to them when they arrive later on!!

List of cars so far: (10)

d-d (Dave)

Ezz35 (Matt)

Mum's Taxi

OPASEN (Matt)

Monkeykplunk (Ian)

Donnie (1)

Donnie (2)

Donnie (3)

weapn (Dave) (Arriving later)

ULOOOK (Josh+Krystle) (Arriving later)

----------------------------

Hope you all can make it for a fun, relaxing day :P

Dave.

Quick question all. Steamfest is on this weekend, will the foreshore be open?

What the hell is that?!

Edit: Just looked it up then... Its mainly more a Maitland thing isn't it?

count us in three from tamworth

mine my dads and a mate of mine

will be there about 11-1130

Ok sounds great :D

You f**kin better be you bastard!

I'll be there.

I'm off to supercheap now to pick up some power steering fluid, cause its startin to squeel like a pig when I turn the wheel :D

That, and you'll all have to forgive me for the incredibly annoying fan belt noise when I start the car, as it's also decided to start doing that and I have no idea how to change or tighten a fan belt....lol

See yas there!

ok well who out of us newy crew were a little dissapointed with the sydeny to newy cruise that was on this sunday just passed?? i was a little cause we went down with a few of us to meet these guys at the twin servos and they just drove past... also by the time most of us finally made it into town they had gone home already.... can come one tell me just how much time they spent in out fine city??? casue it seemed like only half an hour?? how come they didnt stay for longer?? i duno if im just being a sook but i would have stayed for longer if i had driven that far.....

im not havin a stir im just sayin it seemd a bit pointless thats all...... no harm intended.....

Yeah i gotta agree, it suked ass, by the time we finally fouund you guys, you were all leaving.

yea I agree on that.

we rocked up into town expecting to see 50+ skylines and found none..

we drove around for 15 mins tryin to find everyone

by the time we did people slowly started leavin...

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
