Hey All,

Been trying to figure out how to get a front cut down from Sydney, i have been quoted $500 but this was a bit ritch for me so i was thinking of flying up hiring on of the small trucks from Avis or somehting and driving it back down to Melbourne...

So there is going to be a fair bit of room in this truck so if anyone wants anything from just jap or any other performance places in sydney PM me and ill see what i can do.

I wont charge much for freight im just tring to cut back overheads, im not out to make $$$.

The way this will work is:

1. check i have room (if yes go to step 2, if no...sorry too late)

2. ill contact every one to let them know this is a go ahead

3. order and pay for the item and let them know ill be picking it up (ill have a date and times at a later date)

4. i drive em all back down to melbourne

5. you make deposit into my account to help pay for freight. (or cash on pick up)

6. we figure out where and when to meet to get your goodies.

And remember, if you dont pay for the items then i can't pick them up, if you dont have the money for freight you can't pick them up.

this is where you kick yourself, i took a pallett of parts to sydney last weekend (a whole interior), picked up a car and came back last weekend. but my UTE was empty on the return

i go up often, u need a front cut picked up ? panels and everything ? or just bare essentials ?

my next trip is for xmas

im guessing your looking at leaving the truck in melb instead of driving it back, so once you add it up this is what your looking at:

truck rental for 2 days: $200 - $300+ return fee

Fuel: around $200

Air fare: $80-100

Time: 2 days

Add it all up and its worth getting it shipped to avoid all the running around and wasted time, in the end you wont be saving a whole lot, maybe a couple of hundred but is it worth all the f**king around when for that money it could be delivered to your door.

Hi mate -

I can help with your halfcut. I am traveling down to melbourne from sydney this weekend 17/10 with a 1 ton ute and car trailer to pick up a project car i just bought from melb. I am currently empty from syd to melb, so can work somthing out for fuel $$$ provided u can get it on and off the ute.

I have room for a car as well syd - melb, and freight melb - syd as well if anyone interested.

Also I am fully insured and a registered business and advertise as "aussie discount freight" in hpi, boost, hot4's, commodores so u know its in safe hands.

If u interested let me know on 0412825306

Don't suppose anyone is bringing a car trailer down from syd to melbourne in the coming weeks?

Otherwise what sort of costs would people expect for a road trip there an back with a car trailer?

      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.
