Phew - washing, chamoising, scratch repairing/cutting, polishing, waxing then trim detailing your car is absolutely exhausting in this (even mild) heat. Going to wait until it is a bit cooler to do the inside cleaning/vacuuming then she is ready for a final exterior wet coat Saturday 6am.

Mind you, the 35 is now looking a million bucks :D

Is that right hand side standing at front of car or right hand side of radiator?

So they bolt into R31 as well??

I need bigger radiator, now with the FMIC installed the water temps have gone from under the 1/4 mark on the gauge to over half way...

lhs standing from front of car (drivers side) /rhs looking at it from the rear of the radiator

snap, beaten to it. sorry bout that shane, shoulda clarified it. I know you can do a 33 rad into a 31, just modifying the way the top mounts are (33 are horizontal, 31 are vertical, literally bend them 90 degrees and snap it fits)

on another small note, i can go buy my winch tomorrow w00t

who can say no more push recoveries for non-running cars?

Yeah ... prob Murray Bridge!

At this point in time, I don't care. I'll travel to Murray Bridge if I have to for a decent motorsport venue. As long as they can cater for competitors, spectators, volunteers and all vehicles with all the proper infrastructure and services, then I'd travel to use it than a run down, derelict venue.

I can imagine many people will complain if its a fair trek to get to it ... but most of them wouldn't use it anyway. They'll find other excuses to hoon about on the public roads. You could stick the venue right in their neighbourhood, and they still won't use it.

If its modern and has decent infrastructure, the serious people will travel for it. Hell, I'm bored with Mallala right about now. My next track day is at Eastern Creek, then Phillip Island not long after. I'll gladly travel for a decent venue.

okay........ i've been f**k assing around all week organising tyres on the ninja for the meisters. I assumed 245/40 stretched on a 10" wide rim would be suitable enough to be able to get my car in and out of my driveway without the front guards bring rolled, but NO! Fail... Can't get back up my driveway. 1. I wna slap the cvnt that designed our house 2. I wna slap my car for giving me the sh!ts and no 3. lol

Okay, so now I need to get my front guards rolled, I'll get onto wheelworx about that later unfortunatly its going to be boring-spec stockies for the car show this saturday :( I don't even wna enter now thats how over it I am.

end. f**king. rant. ffs. aids.

Cheers anyway man.

Now I have to wait untill the guard gets changed because when the lady reversed into me, the guard was replaced and the indicator hole wasn't lined up properly *not on the painters side* but they didn't check to see if holes were the same they had just assumed they were being a compliance thing, as you would I spose? And now they're going to replace it again and get the indicator holes parrlelle each side to each other so I have to wait for that :( FML

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
