Hi guys

i just got home from my court case and im pleased and not pleased with my result, lemme start from the beggining so yous know my story june 4th i was comming down heatherton road in dandenong and turning onto princess hwy its 3 lanes extending into 4, it about a 90 degree turn maybe a ltitl emore room anywya it aint to difficult due to so many lanes anyway it was a wensday night about 1 am and no1 was on the road so i thought mad a nice time to practise some of my drifting, anyway i excelerated abit took the corner reasonably if i might add for my driving skill and to my suprise when i fully turned the corner and straigtend up a police vechele was hiding on the side i guess probly trying to mesure speed, and as u would prosume there lights went on and pulled me over, to cut a long stoy short i was summunsed to court and they said, theyll give me 3 things to do if i Pleed guilty i wont loose my licence so i agreed they were, (1 write an apology letter to the arresting officer for endangering his life due to drivers stupidity. may i add i was nowhere near him. 2) pay a "valenteery" fee of $100 to any charity of my choice 3) and take a safe driving coarse. and show then all this by sept 15th which isnt even a month away

so the purpose of all this was to ask u guys do you know any safe driving school i rang aami they qoueted me like $275 for 2 hours using my car and racv $205 using there vechicle but they have a 4 wekk waiting list and cant squeeze me in any earlier. but i highly doubt u can use a skyline for a safe driving coarse anyway. have any of you done them how much and where cheers!

there is a place in kilsyth on either liverpool or colchester road (cant remember which one) called Metec.... i was looking at going there back in the good old days when they used to give you a discount on your insurance premium for having done a 'driving' course :D last i checked it was about $175 dollars....

oh and since you dont have to walk i would say the court case went ok :)

in some senses risto you were unlucky! back when I was young and dumb I did the same thing (except the cop was coming the other way - not hiding in the bushes). He pulled me over and asked me if I knew why I was being pulled over. he told me it was because "you didnt have your indicator on. dont do it again. And dont drive like an idoit" and he let me go! And it was done leaving the pub car-park.

They're not ALL complete bastards.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
