actually it (aerial) had a power led lead on the stereo, which is what "I" hooked up, it was my nooby to jap wiring stereo install. I cant remember exactly it was aggges ago but in the manual it said for elec aerials use this wire, which is what I did. When my switch is selected as down the aerial comes up half way when stereo is on and if i switch it up it goes up to full height. No matter what it always goes up half way if the stereo is on. Im going to install the leds into my dash and a few other bits an pieces i,e, custom mock up panel for my temp guages in the din area so ill have a look and disconnect the wire and see if the aerial only works on the swtch. Pretty sure I tested this wayback when but it didnt move.. memory doesnt completely recall. Guess il find out again anyways.

I've always thought boot space in R33s is pretty shocking for a car that size

i thought the boot space was decent considering there's plenty of leg room for the rear passengers, compared to 180's and supra which have shit all passenger leg room

the cup holder in the VP commodore that is there but NOT useable.

its in the front centre arm rest box to put stuff in thingy and you have to cut out a hole and re position the leather to get to it... i think they used the same arm rests for the luxury models.

it was not even an option

how about d/s window controls in the 32gtr, when the window's down any water on the roof pours into the switches? yeah!

hey nissanskyrice, go see supercheap. they have a headlight controller that turns your lights off with ignition,

plus has light sensor that works really well. should be standard in all cars tho...

Awesome. Going to stupid cheap thisarvo then. where does it hook up? under the dash or in the engine bay? i have to pull my dash apart again after installing my stereo on the weekend because i apparently unhooked the power to my turbo timer while i was at it :)

lots and lotsa stuff

but, on Nissans, apart from the cursed filter location on GT-R's, the key release button. but you do get used to it after a while i guess

LOL I'm sure you can fix that some how? My ariel only goes up when I have the radio on, not the mp3 player :worship:

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
