spotted ruby in the black stag out the front of the brewery this morning,

i waved, but i think you where too occupied looking at all the pretty xmas deco's on the river bank :)

hehe, i also felt the need to msg ya to tell you the stag looked nice, dirty, but noice :P

:/

I was in my own little world and had no idea you were there :) Yes, the xmas decorations were pretty :)

Stag will get a wash ... soon. Got some backyard work happening tomorrow, so I doubt the dust will help.

Hot lookin midnight purple 33gtr, white rims, plates RBR 026 or similar, on main north road bout 11ish, then heading the other direction on the same road few hours later, hot lookin red 34.

Umm near the ingle farm shopping centre/chicken shop, black 32 with kit

spotted black 33 and white 34 down the bay. on way home saw a black 34 with gold mesh rims, after a few sets of lights got to chat with him and asked if he got on here and he said he had a couple of times so not sure if he's a member or not. to be honest i don't get on here much anymore either neway but i still advertise the site with the stickers on my windows, yay!

No probs fella, sorry I didn't have time to take you for a lap - will do so at some stage.

I've been waving to every single Skyline owner ever since I jumped into my car, so if you've spotted me, consider yourselves all spotted. Spotted a nice white R31 coupe getting a bath up at the GG Village car wash.

Dam I saw 3 different R33 go past my work today which is at Warradale and a white r34 2 door aswell. Also there a yellow r34 2dr that goes past daily. And a nice looking Black 2 dr.

Do you do any work? :spank:

Just kidding. Spotted a nice as white 33 in glenguari (f**k knows how to spell that suburb). Noticed it coz its sunroof was popped up, made me want one in my 180 :down:

spotted (re stared at) "SNIPER" burgundy 32gtr the other day on pimpala rd down south....pointed the car out to the missus and said "thats the kinda car i want"......just have to finish the nugz mobile first :spank:

spotted a yellow 34 with black rims at my gym in holden hill..... me likey!!!!

reckon i saw this same 34 last nite in my drunken haze... has an awesome stance.

also saw a silver 33 with chromies n a trader plate, and also a white (atmo??) 34 cutting laps past the esplanade hotel

btw, ur avatar is classic nugzy :spank:

Spotted your missus again today Kristian, this time leaving TTP in the TypeR...

Also spotted Ben in the 260 headed towards TTP, gave him the thumbs up but I was in the girlfriends Pulsar. Hope the copper on the bike didn't give you any greif!

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
