Welcome to the forums Noel :)

I also remember the "good times" in Australian motor sport, before it became very boring :)

There is a dyno day on Saturday 24th Feb at All Star. Details here. You are more then welcome to come along and spectate, have a snag and a drink or two and meet some fellow SAu'ers.

Hope to see you there :(

Yes welcome to the forums Like everyone said we meet every tuesday for dinner (the places move around, but have a look in the events section for details). Come along and meet the regular crew and we can give you some pointers to get you in and happy in a 33 rather quickly :happy:

haha man you remind me of one of my workmates. The elderly are allways so testy, seems they have something to be defensive about.

Id be careful about threatening youth of today with violence old man, dont you know? Were all wired up with drugs and could snap at any time.

Best of luck with that, I think you will find that at a brisk walk I will be just too hard to catch up to.

Prehaps it would be easier if you sat down and watched some daytime tv instead, or even better, moved into one of thoes lovely retirement homes. Dinners at 7, lights out at 10. :huh:

Oh welcome to the club btw...

well if you pm elite 32 I am sure he wouldn't have too many issues checking the car over for you and let you know how mechanically sound the car before purchasing it. Others here have tried RACQ inspections but still ran into issues, but dan is normally right on the money when it comes to skylines :huh:

Thanx bloke. Already got it taken care of. Mark at Tony Motsons is my man. Very experienced line tuner and loves a fast car to boot. We have already mapped a programme to put me where i want to be horsepower and suspension wise. However, I will not be proceeding with the extra mods until I have seen and spoken to a few more line owners with similar setups, Hence my eagerness to get to know yall and your cars.

    • 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!
