Hrrrrmmmm...... well I do always take note of K's when it goes in. I had only just called him 5-10mins before making that post. Who knows.... Not something I really wanted to hear though ;)

Anyway once again if anyone is interested, this Tuesday the 20th is the Boostcruising westside meet. The last one was post poned due to the rain. Obviously I'm only going if I have my car back. 7:30meet for 8pm leave at Woolies carpark Monier Rd. http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....howtopic=251302

I had a huge responce typed out but felt it was too much info.

Bare with us on these topics, we need to source the best solution and that will take some time.

I have some ideas and I may pole the forum for their feedback so we can pick the best way to go about it.

In relation to the other threads, none are deleted, they were grouped (set to invisable so you cant see it atm) as they got way out of control and we had suburb specific threads pop up on friday :ermm: I was thining about cleaning it and re-opening it but that seems like a band aid solution. There is little info in those threads that relate to the title topic and thats fine, but thats what the wasteland and whoretown is for.

Just sit on it for a bit and im sure we will be able to aquire the best solution.

Continue to use this thread for the time being, but keep it clean and lets not start another "southide/north/west/wherever is better" attitude in these thread, yeah?

All I can say is no matter where we live we make it what it is, and there is no better place than home.

Well all it seemed to be from where Im sitting is that a couple ppl decided to just take the piss with making those other threads for specific suburbs. I suppose the westside one did start specifically by josh trying to find out who else lived around the centenary suburbs but it grew a bit. I never saw anything in the older 'westside' thread that involved us dissing other sides of the city or putting ours up.

Can't really see how there is a problem at all other than the slight double up on forum areas but this thread is working for us as evident by Friday night and the posts after.

Back on topic: So pancake manor is open now.... suggestions for when? I couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery so Ill just say whenever is fine with me :ermm:

Yeah, no problems... I guess you need to understand one mans topic is another spam...

Hence half of the complaints mods/admin get are due to envy or someone being jealous...

Im sure we will find a good solution everyone can enjoy...

As for the event with pancake palace, why not make it an EOI in the events section that way you will attract a far wider croud...

You dont want to get down to having events where you can only attend if you live on the westside... Forum is for all, does not matter what they drive, what religion, where they live...

friday night was awesome....even if i did only have 3 gears :D

put the new gear box in today.....second is a wonderous thing......

as for pancakes....i vote either next wednesday or even shoot for friday again.

what you guys think?

had heaps of fun out friday, best cruise ive been on in ages.

Just got back from giving the new pancake manor a trial run. Farkin awesome is the deal.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
