Its quiet in here this afternoon ... I'm gona be here forever you should see the stack of invoices as recipts I need to put into the computer :(

If anyone ever tries to sell you the program "Tune" kick them in the nuts and tell them to jog on, slowest pos ever

Just test drove a 2013 navara for shits and giggles, rang the boss from it, and he goes" get a quote then, lets get the ball rolling on this" f**kin WIN!

Diesel? or petrol? my dads is the current shape ('08) V6 200killerwasp. with less km's than my skyline, and has alot more squeaks and rattles. if he'd payed any more than the $18k he did......I would have told him to take it back. 6 recalls so far, and dam does it sound sick on cold morning start ups.

I'd go Hilux all the way. or racing patrol, but they are thirsty and expensive.

Navara FTW page!

See above

Yeah, I was reading this earlier.

They expect to keep manufacturing open until 2016, then after just R&D and sale of foreign models only.

The Oz car manufacturing just cannot complete with other manufacturers as the costs of operations i.e. high wages, high costs of materials etc... is just too much.

Unless GM injects another lot of $b of $ into Holden they will also be next on the chopping block.

The only upside to this is that competition between other manufacturers will be even more fierce (in order to capture more market share) and naturally costs of motor vehicle prices will drop....and about bloody time too as 35K for a new Holden POS is just ridiculous.

And we may get all the cool and obscure other cars for a reasonable price! bring on the end of aust holden and ford!

Did you know that Hyundai make a RWD V8 saloon? which I assume we dont get because it will steal more sales from Oldens and Fords

meh their fault for not selling mustang and gt40 without going through rip off importers, no big loss now.

unbelievable prices aye? I think 600k is about as cheap as Ive seen a GT.....and 150k for a Mustang is just stupid. For that you can buy an epic old stang, at least then you have an excuse for being slow :)

turbo diesel ST_R

Haha she didnt want to steal it, she wanted me to sell it and buy something else :/

If any chick I was dating or even (heaven forbid) married too asked me to sell the skyline, her arse would be out in the cold quick smart. But no chick will date me so all good haha

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
