whoah dayum. I didn't know he did nissans and toyotas. I only know of this one S15 but i thought it was a one-off.

What were you talking to him about? Him possibly doing some work on the 33?

Alright, so here's what I managed to do today.

I put a caliper on my wife while she was sleeping.

I made some new rims.

I took off one of the stock brake assemblies to test fit the new ones. I bent the dust plate out of the way, but I'll trim it down when final install happens.

Test fit to make sure the brackets are the correct ones with the kit. It was shipped with a 350Z installation guide, which worried me.

That's all for now, will have installed within the week I reckon. Still trying to figure out how I can never go to work ever again.

whats the go with Nakai-San possibly working on the 'line?

The long answer was that it would be a MINIMUM of 6 months turnaround, and the short answer was "buy a porsche" haha. I can't give the car up for over 6 months right now. He said that he would love to do it though!

hahahaha. Maybe you should look into a 964 to have him work on.

how do i subscribe to these things?

awesome thread is awesome, you really seem to be living the dream Collen (is that a made up name or what?) except for when your burgled or the local Nuclear power plant melts down that is..

dammit! i thought he was back.

If you ever end up reading this "Collen", i posted up a pic of your car on my tumblr and 1100 odd reblogs later, someone came back saying they're stationed at the same base as you. small world hey?

he also mentioned some of the sharpies starting to wear out in parts :(

HEY, That is my real name, given at birth. f*kushima really does suck.. I missed out on Skyline week because I am just not going to drive through there. F that. I know people that go down to f*kushima and race at Ebisu Circuit.. i just scratched it off my list completely.

post up the link!! It's not wearing out except on the top.. I never cleared the top because I always meant to add color first.. the sun has faded it some, but without any UV protection in the markers, it has been holding up amazingly well. I like the "Collen" thing.. It's my real name!?? !

+1 we need an update man.

Here is the update. Just bought some TE37 FZero Blues in 18x10.5 +15 as well as some Hankook 285/35/18s all the way around. Currently the car has been transformed into a factory stock R33 for out 2 year "JCI" or Shaken process.. I decided to keep it road registered as long as I could.! Pics to follow when I get the rims in the mail.

YAY! he's back! good to hear from you, try not to leave us for so long again.

Sorry lost the link to the guy who's stationed at your base.

Love the wheels, are still planning to turn this into a dedicated track car?

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
