Welcome aboard, A!

I met you at the Tsunami cruise, I'm sure- it was a mate & I that organised and ran it! Learn to love and respect your GT-R, and she'll be good to you! Agreed with those that said PM _8005TED_ re insurance - top fella!

:D I picked up the car!

I LOVE IT!

Oh my god, so much power.... car puffs & breathes like it's alive. I LOVE IT.

Is racing fuel inlet standard? You just stick the pump in the hole, no unscrewing lids. I spent 30 seconds trying to unscrew the thing at the patrol station. :)

$100 for a fill up... ouch.

I don't even know what else it's got. It's got few big hoses that other GTRs didn't have.

I'll post some pix.

Turbo timer hidden somewhere.

Crisp exhaust tune...

Good to hear mate. :D

Lol NOOOOOPE - does it have an 'unleaded fuel only' sticker? if not, that's a defect.

Maybe larger tank? I'm usually $70.

Post pix!

Everytime i come home, it stinks the whole house. I have a 1 year old daughter who'll be smelling this. I am very concerned her health and mine too. I keep the garage door open, turn on fans to blow air out....

I got criticised badly from the family, especially from my wife, for me being selfish and buying a sports car. I always had sports cars, I was hoping that she would understand, but this one is a bit over the top.

So my options are....

1. Get rid of the pool table in the garage, buy a cheap reliable small car - drive that around town instead.

2. Sell the Skyline.

I'm exercising both options at the moment.

I'm looking for a small car (like Excel or Daihatsu), as well as putting the ads for Skyline.

I got in trouble from my missus from doing my manual conversion on my stagea. It's all done now, so she can start to calm down but there's so much more I need to do to the car. We just had a child, so I think the stagea is going to take a backseat to any spending in the family. Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices for the family.

However, her car is a turbo corolla, so she can't get angry at me for having a sports car, just spending too much money on it.

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
