Well, I'm due for a new helmet..

so, this is what i'm gonna do..

1:I'm goin to be really anal and take a small set of digital scales!

that will sort out the weight part of the battle for me..

2: then I'm gonna annoy the daylights out of the staff and try on EVERY helmet in the whole store!

3: I'm NOT gonna read a single price tag or brand until I have a top 3 helmets sitting on the bench that fit the best.

4: Be happy that i just bought the the best helmet i could find!

5: Take steps to look after new helmet: like buying a bag.. (coz I'm sure it will end up sending me broke!)

6: Take steps to reduce the chance of me needing that new helmet.

Did i forget anything?

Dont buy the bag for the helmet

If you are nice about it and ask for one, you'll likely pick one up (especially if youre buying an expensive helmet) for free :yes:

Otherwise sounds fairly comprehensive. I genuinely believe that the helmet that will protect you best is largely the one that fits you best... So sounds like you are well on your way to a good choice :teehee:

Gforce open face car helmet with Snell compliance, can't remember exactly what it cost ~US$150? I like it, nice helmet to put on and wear, got some vents in it which makes it fairly cool.

Would buy again. :laugh:

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
