I've been a member for a short time but I have gained a lot from this forum. Thanks to STYLZ7 for working with me in getting some connectors for my Nismo r33 gauge cluster. I don't own a skyline but i have an RB25det in my 95 240sx. When you guys have a chance, check out our forum.

Thanks again for all the help. This is an awesome forum. :sleep:

Welcome...

if you like your silvias head down to "driftline racing" in campbellfield, melbourne... there's always a few to poke around at there, including a 180SX ute we're building, and I'm sure we can hook you up with some parts. we don't really have any performance parts retailers in aus that are of decent value like you do in the US or in japan (autobacs n the like). its pretty much a string of wreckers that have aftermarket bolt ons for sale. THe closest thing to a proper aftermarket retailer is probably JustJap in Sydney if you're visiting there.

That said... Australia's got as many skylines running around as you guys have corvettes, so you should be able to get your hands on plenty of RB-specific spare parts and aftermarket parts on the cheap.

Good choice on South Melbourne bud, I live there :P

Unfortunately there are no decent performance shops in the area, or anywhere really close by. If your looking for something specific or want to check out a certain shop PM me and if I have some time I might be able to give you a ride doen there.

IMO though there are MUCH MUCH better things to check out than the car workshops in melbourne. Particularly considering the spring like weather we are getting ATM.

Well I really just wanted to check out the car scene here. If you know of any of the local car spots/hang outs around the area maybe we can hook up. I'm staying at the Quest on Dorcas on 8 Dorcas Street. Tomorrow I'm renting a car so i can check out some shops. I can be reached at the following email which comes directly to my cell phone. [email protected]

Thanks.

By the way what do you drive? :)

Welcome to Melbourne mate. Most of it's already mentioned. NissanSilvia have regular meets if you were looking to attend a cruise:

http://www.nissansilvia.com.au/forums/index.php?showforum=36

Or VicStreetScene, you'll get a taste of lots of rubbish Aussie cars, and some okay ones:

http://www.vicstreetscene.com/forum/index.php?showforum=23

I'm not saying their cruises are any good though. The car's scene isn't as big as it used to be in Melbourne. And we don't have many retail places for car parts, or workshops you can just browse around.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
