^^^ I don't want to come across as anal, but since I am sitting here looking at some of my AIR timeslips from March 2004, I doubt very much the track has been closed for 8 years ....

But, I absolutely love this part of your sig : "drivers use your brain and stay in the left hand lane." - I can't agree more. Even in a 60 zone the law states to at all times drive as near as practicable to the left hand kerb. Let alone all of the absolute losers I constantly follow doing 70 in a 90 zone (on the Port Expressway) sitting in the right hand lane. It absolutely shits me to tears. I don't care that they have no place to be, and no time to be there in - I am a very busy guy and every second counts .... when they are needlessly in my way I wish to do evil things to them. But they have no idea - they don't even understand why I am flashing my lights at them or a filthy look when I finally get past them. They have no idea they have blatantly broken the law and inconvenienced me to the nth degree.

yeah, of all the shitty things south australian drivers do, whoring the right hand lane and sitting 10 under is probably the worst. my sister is shocking for that, shes never out of the right hand lane, says its her 'right to use whatever part of the road' she deems fit. sigh.

If I owned an old cooner with a bull bar I would be ramming her and all the people like her all day long. Oh how satisfying that would be.

Print off the road rules for her to have a peruse about how it is most definitely NOT her right to sit in the right hand lane. It most definitely IS the law to stay as near as practicable to the kerb at ALL TIME.

All good mate - I was just flinging shit. From memory the track closed in October 2004 - right at the re-start of Wednesday night street meets (after the winter closure). I missed the opening night and was going to race in the next one and they pulled the pin on it, quoting 'timing light issues', which turned out to be very poor ongoing maintenance, and some hungry rodents :P

i did. but shes stubborn to a fault. pretty average driver all round, cant maintain speed, repeated failure to indicate, tailgating, and shes the typical 'ill pay attention to something else instead of the road in front of me' female driver. hate getting in a car with her. and yet, im the hoon. figure that out.

She wouldn't be the only one though, there's shit loads of moronic drivers who don't pay attention or just plain think they're the only one on the road. I've seen police turn a blind eye too, so more than likely most of these people don't even realise they doing something wrong or illegal...... I could just go on and on and on and on and on.....

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
