LOL I used to have a little sierra jeep (aka Brutis) an no aicon.. SUCKED BALLS. But we could take the top off it and do strand lappys and jump speed bumps hahaha. Park up at the 'D'. good old times hehe.Did u ever do any of that?

My Capri had aircon, and I could also put the roof down. I'll give Townsville this one thing. Convertibles at night are awesome. Nowhere near as much light pollution as other cities, and the temperature is great for it :)

The strand sucked once they built the cop shop, put in the roundabouts, and put in the speed bumps. Although, the car was so low that ANY speed bump in that town sucked nuts. Any driveway too for that matter. :banana:

Aspley is about ten minutes north-west from banyo.

Donna - once my car is registered I'll be up for a north side meet or two. Aspley Baskins isn't a bad idea. There's also Nandos at Carseldine now, and they have a big carpark. Can also keep an eye on the cars there.

I'll think about where else northside would be good. Could even do a Sandgate fish and chips night :banana: it'd look pretty cool with all the skylines parked along the waterfront :)

Morgan!

Well, we can jig the idea around for a bit, then set something up! Would be good as i enjoy coming over to chapel hill but it doesnt always suit weekly!

:P

Maybe we could make the new hot spot Taz's shop! lol lol Dont think there is enough parking ....

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
