got done for a bov awhile back, then it got defected again.

the defect i bought it on was for the height of the rear wheel arch being too low and something really minor I cant think of atm. Just been taking its time getting other stuff done, like air-flow metre switch for the computer etc.

the 11th it goes through regency, so hopefully by that weekend the struts, etc have been swapped back :)

I shall enjoy the FJ.... big step up from a pintara lol. the hard part will be trying not to kill myself in it haha

Yeah last i heard from crimmo it'd been done for a bov, cop followed all the vacuum lines until he found the bov! Bastards!!

Height of the rear wheel arch being to low??? WTF???? OR are you talking in the back of the car was to low???

It had a haltech in it as well yeah?? Did you swap the haltech back out for the standard ecu????

Your lucky its got the vg30 on it, at least its a nice progressive turbo, nothing like the standard thing, light switch on at 4k jobby bloody things, can anyone say LAG!

Tom said they measured the wheel arches. but he also said the cops had no idea, and were protesting it was an R31 and doing everything as if it were an r31 cos thats all they had on their systems. but apparently the car has gone through regency a few times at that height, so the cops must of been f**kheads.

Yeah still has the Haltech in it, but someone is working some magic on it for regency :)

You know more bout my car then me :) I had no idea bout the turbo. I only listened to 1/2 of what Tom was saying bout it...... I just wanted a DR30 and made my mind up bout buying the car before I had looked @ it the flesh haha.

Now your making me look forward to driving my car even more =D

Show them the rego sticker which quite plainley states in there that its a DR30, even on the fire wall...bloody gay police officers!! Only time i've been pulled over, (first day i owned it mind you) they tried to do me for height, but had nothing in the book on my car, did licence and rego check and was sent on my way...only to blow the alternator up not long after...bloody bloody!

What magic are they working on the haltech can i ask?

Yeah i know a little bit about it, was around crimmo a fair bit whilst he was rebuilding it and giving it some love lol!! Its a clean as car though!

That reminded me of the other defect, the old number in the firewall wasnt in there, cos it got damaged, Tom in his wisdom never got around to putting the new plates in.

I got told by my brothers mate, that the cops have nothing pre 31, so just like you said the Dr30 should only be a warning when comes to that shit :happy: Im also going to keep the papers from Regency in there also just to be safe, so they cant harass me too much.

Stuipid thing though, I heard the car has been through regency a number times at the same height and never been questioned, Tom must of ran into the wrong cop when he got defect. but atleast I got a cheap DR30 out of it :P

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
