Yes but lightening can jump from a cloud to the ground so Im sure it can jump from a car to the ground. However lightening takes the path of least resistance, the metal in your car has far less resistance than your body so you wouldn't have any current travel though you. Once again the chassis is ground in your car so even if something shorted to the chassis it would just flatten your battery, you couldn't receive a shock from it.

well i dont know all the details, but i wouldnt want to be the one finding out just in case hahaha.

its what i was told at regency when it first went through with same problem, so had to get it stitched up.

Trust me what I said is what happens. There's no way that an exposed seat rail could pose an electrical hazard, even if it got wired to the ignition coil it would short to the ground pin and never be live.

If you get struck by lightening whether it decides to go via you or via the doors is really all that is going to decide if you die or not, whether the seat is exposed won't make a difference.

Hey guys, about to do some work to my car and im wondering if what im about to do is going to cause me much issues.... i know the car does regardless and the 2 times ive been pulld over they go straight to the turbo and start looking in my passanger seat/door trim for things.. im guessing a boost controller...

Anyways if yas can just make some suggestions or if you think i will be fairly good with what im going to do let me know (peace of mind :P ), from what i can tell i should be ok.

Also whats the deal if i have to goto the epa or something? can my tuner tune the engine to run fine or is it just a matter of put the stock parts back on :S?

im new to the skyline/performance scene so yeah any help is appreciated. thanks!

also im in melb vic.

noo they are totaly muffd!

Stutters under boost

Engine light / slip light / diff light - Come on and the car goes shutter (mainly when its been raining)

Everything points to coil packs, so i figured id get them done with the gear.

Thanks for the tip tho ;)

I got pulled over 2 days ago when i just got my car and guess who it was zzzz was going down greenhill road about 4pm. like 3 hours after getting my car haha...

Did you actually get a DEFECT for fog lights or just copped a fine for having fog lights on?

Yeah, i told my tuner it needs to look as stock as possible, and hes done the hard yards finding a exhaust/cooler etc but did say the boost tee will give me troubles if they find it... so he said he will ask his mechanic to hide it and paint it black ;) so hopefully they wont find it :<

Whats the deal with the cops looking in the passanger door for 10 mins pulling out your door trim etc when they pull you over :S!

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
