Most useless invention EVAR!!!!  

Get a trolley jack... Probably wouldn't cost too much more than what Nissan wants for the missing handle...

wouldnt it be a bit of a inconvienience carrying a trolley jack every where u go.. ??

That's what NRMA Roadside Assistance is for... I'm paying it, might as well make use of it.

so if you have a flat tyre you're gonna call the NRMA to come fix it? you'll look like one of those guys who knows nothing about cars, who's parents bought them a sports car for their 18th birthday.

you do carry a spare with you right?

Do you really care that much what random passing-by drivers think of you? Are you that dependant on other people's opinion of you? I couldn't give a stuff.

I pay for NRMA Roadside Assistance, and I'm bloody well going to use it. They don't usually take more than half an hour to come, and if they say they will take longer, and I have a jack in the car, I might do it myself.

I change all four tyres and all brake pads to track rims and pads in about 40-45 minutes, so yes, I realise that I can probably change that flat in about 10 minutes flat, BUT........ I know how dirty I get doing it... My hands get FILTHY, and I need to use Solvol to get it off...

If I'm in a suit or about to go out, why should I do that to myself if I'm paying someone to do it?

It's like paying for insurance, but then panel beating your car yourself if you smash it. :D

OK so next time I have to wait an hour for the NRMA to come I know who to blame for the wait. Thanx Merli.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
