I did see a few Holdens and Fords sitting in middle lanes with hazards on...

Don't people know to push their cars off the road anymore...

In fact... ...that should be a requirement to buying a car... ...Can you get out and push it???... ...If you can't... ...It's too big for you to buy...

I've been asked if I can pick up a motor bike before getting on one... ...you drop it and you're all alone... ...and you can't pick it up... ...you're stuffed...

I wonder if the words "Vapour-Lock" still exist.......?

Well, what would I know...heck, I just drive a POS Skyline.......(according to many 'old school' V8 Holden and Ford owners).

I had to Wikipedia "vapour lock"... :)

To all of those paying out on the Fords/Holdens, how many skylines do you see driving around with 400,000kms on the clock without having been rebuilt?

Go line up against a new GT/F6/R8/GTS etc for a few consecutive runs on a 40 degree day, then come back and post up the results

mmmm....fair enough...though I'd like to see "a new GT/F6/R8/GTS etc " with 400,000 kays on the clock....at any temperature, let alone a Skyline.

Tell that to all the soccer mums with their over sized 4WDs

Mine runs fine in the heat. Oil temp is just on 70 sometimes a little over. Not as much power as in the cold but in this heat I can't be arsed driving so it's usually a very mellow 1 hour cruise home.

On the westgate freeway today around 9:50am going into the city just before williamstown rd I saw 9 cars pulled over all changing their tyres!! Dunno what was on the road but what ever it was they all copped it!!

I used to own a 94 EF falcon on my P's in 98-2001 and that thing was awful in the heat! I had to drive it with the heater on all the time to keep the water temps down! Then I blew a heater core and the footwell carpets got soaked. On a hot day I'd come back to the car and all the windows would be steamed up then insidde it was like a wet sauna!! YUCK!!!!

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
