Meh - that site says its doom and gloom.

The BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) says isolated showers/storms and 25. That is hardly heavy rain :P

IMO - nothing in it at all. I've been watching the weather closely, doesn't look bad to be honest.

And as you said, this is Melb. Could be raining on Flinders St and sunny down @ Docklands!

Counts as rego in my book - however trying to justify trade plates use probably would mean most owners of them would not bother.

If you're in the auto industry with trade plates it can always be written down as part of a promotion for your business :D

That said, who wants to rent my trade plates for the weekend? :P

Just spent a good few hours washing/waxing my car to the finest touch. Who says you can't make an R33 look good? Mirror shine baby. I want it to rain, that way you can see how much wax I put on lol.

do we need to hang around there the whole day? or can we come drop the car off go bouts our normal busniess and come back?

You are free to do whatever you like for the duration you car is there.

But god help you if you are not back before closing time - it'll end up being towed to the council impound or something :D

I went to a show organised by ET street forum, a guy turned up in a vette with trade plates, asked him if he ever got hasseled and he said he has driven it as a daily for 6 months with them on (screwed on) and never been pulled over.

Well the thing is a cop will be looking for an argument if he wants to bother with trade plates...think you'll find they turn a blind eye to it most of the time. I reported a guy who had been abusing trade plates, police said they'd follow up but 12 months later and he's still driving around with them on his personal weekend car, which is severely unroadworthy. It's only really at night time you'd ever get questioned for it IMO.

well there isn't a skyline coupe class Wayne-o!

And, there never has been :thumbsup:

Gotta draw then line of reasonability of how many classes vs expenditure for trophies etc etc.

Can't have a class for every single possible option, just won't work.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
