Saw another accident right out front of a tow truck drivers shop, (Pure Grunt Performance, V8 guys). Whoever it was on the motorbike did not come off to well. It involved 3 cars and a motorbike. Apparently it always happens on that road.

Bryanlee38, there is 3 basic types of diff's. One is called a open diff, that drives the car forward with one whell, usually the easiest one to move. If turning left (correct me if I am wrong here Paul) it drives the car forward with the outside wheel. A locked diff, also illegal, drives the car forward with both wheels all the time. It makes your car a horrible pig to drive but makes sure 2 wheels always spin in a burnout. When turning a corner, the inside one skips as it is trying to cover the same amount of ground as the outside one which we all know is impossible, thus making the whole car vibrate and jump horribly. A LSD is the best of all 3 and has been explained to you by Paul. This guys car is open, but when open diffs are worn out, they become LSD soughta, very unpredictable what wheels will drive when and make the car dangerous if driven in a already dangerous manner.

Sorry for babbling up half the page but hope that helped a little more.

b005t i remember seeing your mate driving that car no a cruise ages ago... doesnt suprise me him and a supra with p plates almost cleaned up my mate when they cut him off. Sad to see though :)

Also on that cruise u were in a yellow Audi S4 and shouting stuff at various people.. oh and your mate(i think) tried telling me my car was his mates and it was really quick :)

Overall though, condolences with all the people who have crashed, hopefully they're all ok :O

      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.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      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.
