Yeh it was a good drive, inspection went great the car is in great condition. It was all good untill the buyer started getting second thoughts on the car(supposedly). We agreed on a price of $38,500 before i left and the was delivered as described then he decides he is not interested at that price and low balls me at $35,000. I literally told him to go f*&k himself, he kept coming up with things that he would want to change on the car as its not how he wants it which were all personal preference items.

Anyway i made him pay me for expenses and we parted ways, i had been offered $37,000 before i put the OS Giken gearbox in just last week. Anyway, having put myself between a rock and a hard place, their were events that i wanted to be home for last night so i bit the bullet and took $35,500. Anyway we complete the deal for which i had driven from Adelaide and he refuses to drive me to the airport, long story short $100 taxi ride, missed plane and there were no more flights direct or connecting for the rest of the evening. So $90 accomodation and another plane fair this morning and my sale price was really starting to hit home

So in conclusion, i have learned to never put myself between a rock and a hard place again. I had been offered more from other parties but i became impatient and just wanted the car gone. In the end it was a shit experience from which i have learned alot and will never allow myself to be stung by underhanded tactics again.

That's crap. :teehee: When i bought my car from a fellow sau'er in victoria, i deposited $500 bucks into his account straight away (sight unseen), he drove it from victoria to adelaide, i paid for his ticket back, and we set a fixed price before he left (no negotiation)..he came to regency with me, it past inspection then did the cash swap at the bank, then dropped him off in the city... couldn't have been more straight forward and we were both happy.

Guess that's what you get with dodgy people.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
