Jarrad, what side skirts are those? N1's?

And Wayne, as Damo said, chicks love the live read-outs. I bought a ECUtalk LCD read-out thingo purely for this reason. Not only do the chicks love my centre console gauges and love hearing me crap on about oil temperature, they also love reading vital information like fuel injector cycles. And water temps.

They love it.

I also indulge in explaining my torque metre in the dash.

But seriously, I hate it when chicks are like "z0mg you've got a Skyline... my ex ex ex ex bf owned one but it was like all square shaped." and you're like "but this... is a GTR... how can you compare that with a 31?" and they're like "but all Skylines are the same?"

I've only met a small handful of women who are like "Ah... GTR... 2 turbos then, eh?"

Reminds me of the time my girlfriend had a work drinks night at Marble Bar and some guy was talking to her. He's like "I drive a Skyline". So she replied "Oh which one?". He goes "An R31 Skyline". She follows up with a "Oh, the old shitty one? My boyfriend has a R32". He just walked away..

lol hence why they dropped the skyline part off the R35. getting your 160k+ car talked about like its a 2k old pos.

I always note what they say as to how much they know, if they know nothing about cars they call it a nissan, a lil they call it a skyline, and if they know what a gtr is theyll call it that or godzilla or something

n n1 sideskirts drop at the rear wheel in a lil point sorta of thing aside from that they pretty much flat like a stock gtr side skirt, take a look at the calsonic R32 that has em. least thats what i think the n1 sideskirt is

All I know is its a standard GTR kit. I don't have the rear pods, but I think they're a factory extra

The sideskits you have definately aren't standard GTR kit, theyre type M's. Front bar is, and the rear pods look stock too (like dan says, the n1 has a lip that drops down, however it does look bigger than my pods).

(I'd love to get a pair, anyone got a link as to how much they cost?)

This is what stock r32 gtr side skirts look like

The place on Hancock rd opposite St Agnes Shopping Centre, fark the name escapes me!

Cheers. I know the place you're talking about but I don't live that way anymore so I'm going to just stop past somewhere on the way home from work and see if they can fit me in.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
