Trust me - its a hell of a lot more annoying when it's not you that gets a car that is isn't yours, which is needed 1000km away impounded on a public holiday.

I should write a book.

Nasty. My mate had an accident up there once, and most tow companies he called wouldnt even go out there. And those that would charged huge amounts.

I didnt know Jack at that time either :yes:

Just on this again - the police with radars were hiding in the bushes overlooking one of the few straight bits of the Black Spur. The roadblock was then a few KM down the way, in a mobile phone 'black' zone. This was so the motorbikes couldn't call or text back to their mates to turn around and skedaddle. It also meant the rozzers couldn't call me to stop my car from being incorrectly impounded. Sneaky, but clever.

No fun allowed anywhere anymore.

And for the record, the particular car in question goes from legal to speeding in about 1-sec. Bummer.

I am surprised. Im guessing its maybe from preasure from locals in the area. I had a pretty hairy experience with a local up there one time "taking things into his own hands". Long story, so maybe ill save it for another time.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By Duncan · Posted

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.

      Wires cut underneath shifter cover

      By Duncan · Posted

      You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
