you would think atleast he would have a shave

The poor bastard probably hasn't had time for a shave i would say some one has been keeping him busy building their car for them while they supervise whilst sipping bourbons :banana:

looks good mate. it will be even better now that Beer Baron super express racing parts has got you those mines front rotors. :) cracked rotor in an R35 going hard would not end pretty....

Man you are going to have a ball in it now. all the little changes like the moveable paddles, the wheel, the seat and harness will make a huge difference to the feel of the thing.

I also spy you with some maccas in the first pic. food of champions! hehe.

I was just remembering back to when I picked this car up from the docks in sydney. brand spanking new, plastic on everything, 100kms on the clock.... look at it now! thoroughly abused!! holes in it everywhere, caged, stripped, seats, steering wheel, exhaust... but it's been set free from a life of posing at coffee shops and fancy hotels. we both know it's much more at home out in the boonies at some race track belting out some laps. you've set it free mate. haha.

my mate justin who was there when it arrived in sydney all those months ago saw the pics of it last night and he nearly didn't beleive me it was the same car!! poor fella was beside himself as it's by far the nicest car he's been in. he can't understand how we can do things like this to perfectly good forms of transport.

now go and kick some arse in tassie. :thumbsup: and most importantly have some fun. but if you can get a result it would be nice mate as at least then mark will stop lauging at you. I can even see him laughing at your car in the last pic. gold!

I see Drew and Georgie have entered this event as well. They are the ultimate quiet acheivers in that little R32 GTR of theirs. Their car is pretty much what I'm basing mine on as far as set-up goes. It's a sweet little ride.

Into Burnie mate............

Fantastic, I'll keep an eye out for it on Wednesday.

If he (or any Skyline pilot for that matter!) needs to use a hoist at all while he's here give me a yell, I'm right in the middle of town.

Do you know if we're allowed to transport fuel drums on the Burnie ship? wanting to bring mainland BP 98 over in the ute......

What's wrong with our BP98? :) Don't know, best bet is to give TOLL Shipping a call.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
