standard bulbs are in :D

Wonder if the cop shop is open tomorrow?

@thrustion, all good bro, just thought I'd ask <3

<3 all good mang

reckon I can get out of my defect/fine because he wrote the body type as 'SEDAN' when it's actually a coupe? :cool:

lol! cant believe you got defected

and i totally agree - your HIDs owned my stock bulbs in the hills - keen to have another go man once im all tuned up - and i have new bulbs :D

around a week or so bro!

*touch wood*

@ Dan_B:

I sent ERD Dan a message asking about the filter for the 4WD system. If I can get one do you reckon we can fit in a flush/clean/top up on car day?

@ Colin & Martin:

Continuing on from Thursday's discussion. After reading through some more threads I've decided I will keep the 20, and aim for 300HP (all wheel, and not Brandon spec). Then if I wind up buying a Z32 I might convert the Fo' to 25 or bigger. Will this stop you having nightmares about VGs?

@ Andy:

What was the name of that RB management system that you were raving about a while ago that allows you to run without AFMs? Could I use it on my 20? And will it handle what I just said to Colin & Martin?

@ Tristan:

The bulbs that were in Katy when you first got here weren't stock were they? The purpley ones? What have you got in there now? I was wondering if they were the same lights I used to use in the Capri. I had some really good ones, if they're the same (got a pic of the back?) I'll dig out the old box and let you know what they were.

P.S. Can I come for fun drives too? <3

P.P.S. Can't beleive you dogged Michelle :P

@ Jason:

I knew you'd cry if I didn't address you personally, so hey mang *tips hat*

@ Geoff:

hey geoff!

:(

@ everyone else:

What's crackin' mangs?

It's 0530 and I'm so effing bored... Gotta go to Ipswich today to get my new squeaky toys :(

yeah figured as much

you can't see a f*cking thing with standard bulbs. THEY should be illegal, and HIDs should be compulsory

Yeah standard ones are shit compared to HIDs.

I can see just fine with mine :(

Colin's are good too...

Mine are good compared to driving with parkers on. That's about it lol.

<3 all good mang

Will probably get rid of my night terrors yes.

Next week, say mid week?

German club dinner and beers?

Someone make it happen

Interesting proposal. Make Tuesday midweek because I'll be in Brisbane already.

Good morning!

Moaning

300HP out of the 20 should be pretty easy. Will only stop my nightmares if I don't ever have to do any work on the Z32.

Vipecs are good. Can't remember what system Andy was going on about, but I think it was more for SRs than RBs.

yo

i got rid of my original lights (inc bulbs.) when i bought the blue ones

the bulbs in the original ones were those bluey ones they sell at repco for stupid expensive prices (for what they are)

my new bulbs are 100w ones (stock is 60w) - they are sexy, overnight parts from hongkong lol

@p.s. - yeh sure

@p.p.s. - yeeh had to dog - needed to pick up copper nut, and that involved a trip to manly lol

Defect cleared :(

And I fixed my rattle gun :(

Cop that cleared it was almost as much of a douche as the guy that booked me. Complained because all 4 bulbs weren't on for low beam (wtf? High beam bulbs should be on for low beam?) and said the headlights weren't standard. Eventually cleared it but.

Now to waste half an afternoon putting my wheels back on and HIDs back in :P

Edited by Smity42

:rofl:

Good afternoon mangs.

I do reply, I just have to notice it first! There are too many pages to read each night after work :P

Congrats on getting the defect cleared.

now for a nice long weekend of SFA :P

^^^^ :rofl:

WELL I JUST WENT INTO TRADE TOOLS AND NOW IM IN LOVE :P

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
