Hi Terminal, haven't been on for awhile... the gtr's been off the road... had to get a few things fixed and I was driving a hire car for awhile, you don't know what your missing till you drive a complete s**tbox.. anyway glad to be in the gtr again, will try and make a friday soon

btw, did you get your 2nd dan?

Nah i have the grading in 3 weeks. i have a comp in 2 weeks in moss vale, hopefully i don't get too injured to grade. glad you've got your car back on the road. i know what i'm missing now driving my old skyline again after having the madwagon for a year, but the wagon still dominates in style.

kool 2nd dan, i take it thats taekwondo ranking? does that mean kyu and shihan is taekwondo too? or am i just talking tekken 5?

Dan is used in most martial arts, Kyu is japanese and is used for colour belt rank, taekwondo use the term Gup for colour belt ranks. Dan is used for black belt rank. i have no idea what shihan is from, probably means master or instructer in japanese

Haha damn you beat me to it, i was gonna post up that i saw you, i saw you from miles away and chased you down, thats why i made sure i caught up and gave a wave, i would have gone the same way home as you but needed petrol in Phillip, car is looking hot as always  :huh:

Heh.. yeah the Z doesn't exactly blend in to traffic, neither do 'lines for that matter :D

You scared the crap out of me going around that round-about in the inside lane, when I first saw you out of the corner of my eye. I am not used to other cars going through round-abouts anywhere near as fast as I usually do. If you were driving a comondore you would have flown off the road at that speed.

P.S are you guys still having regular get-togethers?

Heh I only was sure it was you a split second before you stuck your arm out the window, I couldn't remember how I could be sure it was you, then it hit me - R34 wheels :D

About an hour before I saw Leech I had an encounter with FoX on the Monaro highway

haha yeah i didn't think you had seen me sneak up on you so when we hit the round about i slammed it into 2nd and floored it to catch you lol.

It would have been good if we had kept going without the bloody traffic, oh yeah, i want your car :D

Also spotted me gassing it to catch up to Ewen's 33 last night on knoke av just b4 he turned up into his street, i caught you just as you turned at the last round about but i dont think you noticed me.

Also spotted a black 33 leaving the Lanyon shops this morning at 11.30, it also could have been Ewen but it may have been a bit early for you :)

Spotted a maroon R32 with red ACT plates in belco, drove past across benjamin way

I spotted this as well. Parked outside Autobarn in Belconnen, looked hot as. Same colour as mine, had tasteful 18's on it and more importantly was a GTR(unlike mine :D lol.). Took a few pics of it but didnt get time to tell him to join up here, hadn't seen it around Canberra before.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
