Shes pretty stock Craig, its a company car after all. Has an STi computer, HKS exhaust, STi springs on the billys and an AVO interwarmer. Will have a custom dump/front pipe and a HKS filter in the factory box, they will arrive at my shop on Tuesday of course. SO yeah, its not that quick especially when compared to the Stagea.

Im coming down to meet up with a mate from Melbourne and attend his fiance's surprise 40th. The wife and kids are coming along. Should arrive in Alice on Monday arvo and then off the next day to the rock for 2 days and then back to Alice for another 2 days and then back to Darwin. Looking forward to it, might see some of you boys and gurls there!

Cheers

Yeah I had a look on the radar and its pretty wet around TC to Alice and beyond. Luckily this wagon doesnt scare me in the wet as it doesnt have a lot of power. I wouldnt mind seeing some rain though, havent seen any since Easter.

Have you been to the Rock before? In the rain it is even more amazing!

My car is so slippery in the rain it's scary, go round a corner at 20 and still slide.....fun though.

Should stay an extra 2 days and come to the drags! only $40 for as many runs as can get..

since the great timing of the rain ive come to the conclusion i need new tyres :)

went around miler road rondabout in third doing less than 20 ks and just slid, foot on clutch off the gas and still ended up facing the wrong way hoping cars would stop... exciting stuf hahahahaha. good fun though, went back and did it on purpose haha....

id hate to know how you line boys that actually have power feel :D

It is soooooo slippery!!

turned off larapinta onto lydavale doin maybe 15-20 and trying to be cautious, still ended up sliding. If I'm doing say 60 in 4th and accelerate slightly quickly it just spins. I need different tyres for the wet, lucky it doesn't rain much!

hell yeah, its pretty amazing how a corner we take everyday changes once its wet hey lol.

you need a front wheel drive in the wet i reckon, or a big fat sedan haha. stuff that.

its fun when you want it to happen but not when its by accident lol

Ozzy? You in? Be good to nail some times in without worrying about qualifications or what? Cause this is mainly a screw around day. As i've heard?...

Definately! Hope to get both cars out. GT-R is getting some maintenance this week and the Datto is getting a B&M line lock fitted :wacko:

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
