haha nah, thats the only pic i had of it, took the numberplate out incase i was pulled over :ermm:

you can see the bottom of the rearbar took a lot of the flame action to it, cause the sedans are a tad longer and i was running a coupe catback it went straight into the corner :P

it took a good flame that rear bar. i was wondering how the flames got to the numberplate lol.

how long did you run your car like that before you decided thats enough?

A few SAU members have a LM Edition.

Besides the colour (Champion Blue) it is just like any other R33 GTR from factory, nothing huge to separate it from the rest to make it special...

The R33 GTR V-Spec didn't have a huge impact, just an Active LSD and a newer ATTESA E-TS Pro all wheel drive system, lower ground clearance in resulting the car weighing 10kg more.

Like the R32 GTR Nismo Editions = Stock GTR with a factory Nismo Bodykit.

The Nismo Bodykit could be bought for base / V-Spec / V-Spec II / N1 models.

V-Spec / V-Spec II's were not much of a big deal but only for the Brembo brakes and 17" BBS wheels.

The price you pay for a V-Spec / V-Spec II / Nismo Edition, you could probably buy the base model and add the Brembo Calipers, Nismo Bodykit and a set of 17" wheels of your liking and still have cash left over...

With the R34 GTR, the big changes came when the N1 was released then the V-Spec II Nur.

The GTR N1's / Nismo 400R / V-Spec II Nur, were the ones with a decent upgrade from factory to separate them from itself.

umm im not sure what the place is called :happy: but i know exactly where it is and been their a few times (its in mailing road near all these antique and 'posh' shops >,<

nah i dont know the original lolly store :happy:

lol

*this thread is now about candy!

:verymad:

Haha!

I will do a little reseach and see if I find anything in Surrey Hills.

Cool!

For anyone interested in quick wiring. Used one of these for wiring up my thermofan controller. Has a LED on the fuse too, so if it blows you can see. Quick easy way of wiring up power etc without splicing etc.

you paid 7 bucks for a $0.50 fuse with light that has a wire soldered onto it?

man I need to start selling this shit on ebay.

haha i paid for the convinience. The led and wire are soldered into the plastic housing not on the prongs ontop of the fuse + the bullet connector.

yeah fuses are 10c a pop, 20c from dickies or repco if you're in a jam. 50c gets you the one with the lights built in.... $1 at the most.

blade fuse (with no led) - $1.00

bullet connector - $3.50

Throw in the wire, rubber cover, led and crimping/soldering the whole lot for extra $3.00

(jaycar prices)

:verymad:

or $7.00 for it all assembled and save myself 15-30mins?

Make me up another one for under $7.00 and ill buy it. Better for me.

yeah I suppose if you're buying electronics retail then it works out. lol it's kinda like if I was to go pay retail price for chocolates, you'd be like "lol n00b"

yeah, started watching the one about old people and then saw that the new episode of Psych had finished downloading so I watched that instead.

its one of my favourite shows. i got all 8 seasons so far. still downloading a few episodes from season 8 actually, my internet connection has slowed down atm so its taking forever :verymad:

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
