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!

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

    • 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
