For all the skyline owners in Mackay, this forum is pretty slack, maybe we need to organise a cruise or a BBQ/piss up get together again.... that was fun last time in Airlie, had so much fun I fell down a hill and f**ked myself up lol.

Im keen. But not till end of the month. Im in sydney all week next week and some of the next then back to work.

Although by then I might not have a skyline on the road lol..... all good. Ill find something

that sounds like a great idea, im down for that. i only get weekends though. on a different note, gotta pay off some parts, and start saving for a vipec, bugger all effort or drilling or removing anything to put it in. i like that idea better.

no more Skyline :(

Ben i saw your FJ coming around the corner today near work, looks mean.

and cal i saw the outside of your new place on the weekend, looks awesome. good spot too.

Yeah pretty happy with it, still getting stuffed around with things that havent been done but are getting done now. I wont get into it, its enough of a headache as it is lol

Blew my tax money on a camera rather then a diff. So far don't regret the decision :P

Quick snap from our trip to Sydney this past week, Have a ton more but this one looked pretty good without any touch ups, so its the lucky photo that I'll use

Looks much cooler now, should give a bit more power as well :)

This was done by Stao at Hypergear free of charge (minus shipping) which is part of the amazing customer service they offer

hey guys, i have a black r33 S1 front bumper pretter good nic that i wont need anymore.. anyone want to purchace it? :woot: As i'm moving to cairns soon i have no time to make my M-spec bar pretty :( half sanded and red will be a good look haha! :whistling:

amazing customer service ??? he neglected to mention to me about drilling out the stock oil restrictor in the block. so the turbo wasnt getting enuff oil and f**ked the seal's. subsequently needing a $400 rebuild that i had to pay..... he even admitted he forgot to tell me about drilling the restrictor out.... yeah thats amazing customer service. he was quick to email you back THATS about it

Just Committed myself to an RB26/30 engine build for possibly the 180SX . I Just purchased a brand spanking new Bare RB26 Head from the USA got it dirt cheap ;). All's I have to do now is hide it from my brother and old man before they claim it and it ends up on the Drag Car.

Turbo Oil Feed Restrictor Nic ?

These are usually in the banjo bolt though AFAIK. My HKS one is and I know Garrett do it with some of theirs. Nothing in the actual block that I can see. But I'm still not sure which engine was being talked about

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
