Hi There

I have been in mackay for friggin ages, have owned a few skylines in my time. Currently own a R33 GTR and My lil brother Matt owns a R32 GTR N1, you will see us at the strip quite a bit this year as we will be trying to get as much seat time as possible for the Jamboree in August. Aiming for a 8sec pass on Street Radials, but should do a low 9sec quite comfortably. Both Cars should be on the road in a couple of months, looking forward to doing some cruises with you guys through out the year.

Hells yeah, that would be awesome. I've seen you car around a few times... It's visual Porn. You've got a great car, lad. When Palmyra is dried up (In the next few weeks? Haha) give us a yell on here if you're going to the TnT and I'll make sure I'll be down to watch you.

No way, I'm not wasting my last day of holidays doing that lol.... Did you end up getting your power window module fix? Mines playing up so might pull it apart and re-solder if it looks dodgy. Id say thats all thats wrong with yours as well

Hahaha. Nah, not yet. Gotta pull the cash out of somewhere to get genuine parts.

I'm keen to go for a roll sometime this week. Give me a yell when you've got some spare time.

I'm keen for a drag when my new wheels get here, but I'll race anything, I just want to see what time I can get.

As for the drivers side window thing, theres a thread in the DIY section I'm pretty sure on how to fix it, Im gonna give it a go soon, was gonna do it a while ago but opened the box for my power window up and everything looked good. Supposedly only takes about 5 mins and a bit of new solder

Took some photos of my engine bay today..... a good camera and some lighting really shows up how dirty it is :( lol

Give me a call when you do yours, Cal and I'll head over to your place with mine and see if that works... Slack to fork out $250 if it just needs new solder. :)

I demand a rematch on GT5... I regeared the shit out of my R33 GTR. I want my redemption!

Airlie sounds good (and is better then halfway) lol

Rob: you were useless :P I'll get my carbon R out for a rematch lol. Yeah I might get keen to play with electrics this weekend. Bring your black box and I'll see if there's any noticable dry solder.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
