Hmm might be interesting, I'd be keen to see it if/when it's set up.

I've long wondered about how they'd go with a Vortech-style blower on the side though - simple exhaust, no lag and can be set to make good boost from very low rpm :D

stockymcstock from down south has a twin charge system on his skyline :D

For your mate, $30k. It is regarded as the best looking IS in OZ. And is maintained to that high standard.

Fark that sexy but no i cant help you out he was looking more in the 20K market lol.... but if i show him he will still be drooling.... cant hurt right :D

Ahahah lee you are one sneaky bastard, i love it! i need some housbricks to steal the rims of the landcruiser across the road :D

but seriously that would still cost a bit to buy rims, then special tyres to clear the defect.

Maybe i could seal the boot and pump the car full of helium :D

lol dude you hav another option....

depanding on how much you have to raise it... get your self a set of old rims and put high profile tyres on them this will raise the car.....

eg... 225/45/r17 was 11cm swaped rims and tyres 205/65/r15 ride height changed to 16cm, just do this to clear the defect then put the old rims back on.....

thanks for the offer shane. Could solve my problems, but heres the problem. I fly back home on a monday - 19th, must present car for inspection to cops by 23rd- that friday. Can you do it on a weeknight? (assuming you have one of those cushy 9-5 jobs :D wish i had one :D ) I could obviously bring the car to you.... guess it wouldn't take long to install stock suspension?

its 10cm unless things have changed. My car passed inspection at queensland transport at the height it was, yet i got defected by the police a year later go figure? The only point of my car that is lower than 10cm is the rear part of the exhaust, its 8cm off the ground.. the bodkit etc is 13cm at its lowest point (i know cos i measured it aaaages ago).

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
