And Roy, you werent seriously paying out Doughboy were you? I thought you were having a sarcastic go at nicknick.

Depends...if he lets me overtake him at track days, just to preserve my fragile ego then all is good. :) ...or even better buddies up with me for the Dutton Rally, his combi can be the spares van :(

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. What a laugh. When will these dreamers learn to actually pull a decent time before blowing their bags. Thats the only problem with these forums - too many dreamers. Did this "10 sec GTR" run at WSID???? probably not.

Yep. It is. And it has run a nine. And it will again soon. Even if it never ran again, I still pulled the time.

Fact is, this dickdick guy has insulted people I know.He should pull his head in & run a decent time before dreaming on & sticking it up other Skyline owners that are nothing but helpfull & decent people.

As for my car - it has been off the road for a while(have been playing with other cars) but will be up & running soon with a totally new setup.

What will it run? I'll wait & find out before posting on here wont I!!!

True. On another note. Alice would be wiked. Not far from no speed limits - I wish.

Just lost my licence for the 15th time!!!!! That is not a typo!!!

Got to the point where I am learning for my pilots licence. At least up there there is no speed limit. Biggest problem is I cant work out how to fit the wings on my GTR yet.

well, I force myself to run thru the no speed limit zone on the 50k trip to work each day....of course its not as fun as it could be with the speed limiter still in :D Also, not a corner to be found for miles out there

but, its not *really* that hard to stick to the speed limit is it? You need to get out on the circuit more.....I'd lost my license 3 times before 20 (pretty poor effort), but now I just get it out of my system on the track instead.

Hi Munro, get that pilot's licence, fly to New Zealand and get a driver's licence there. Works for a few guys. But you are so well known, Adelaide ain't that big and your cars are easily spotted, so it probably wouldn't work for you.

On another subject, that other turbo car of yours, it has a water to air intercooler doesn't it? If it has, how do you find it works in the summer heat?

It's legal to drive here with alot of international licenses. There was a scam a few years ago where people were getting their international license (a generic one issued from NRMA and other "motoring" groups) without having a "real" license first. I'm pretty sure you can still do that.....

Hi Steve, at last count, about 1 million visitors to Australia each year drive legally without an Australian license. I have no idea how many do it illegally.

Hi Chris, I don't think they have international licenses anymore, you just use your own country's licence, that's what I do when I go overseas now.

If you have an NZ licence, you just have to remember the formulas....

I = U (as in fush and chups)

A = AR (as in larmb chops)

Sheep = Gurlfriend

All Blacks = Gods

Once you have that mastered, you can pass yourself off easily.

When i went OS, i was told that an OZ licence is all thats required to hire cars from OS outlets, so was good enough for me

... that said to drive in Indonesia you have to be OVER .05 otherwise its just not fun, and its far too easy for the locals to psyche you out with their driving, a bit of dutch courage and you can mix it with the best drivers that Indonesia has to offer. :P

I sure as hell hope that NSW RTA doesnt recognise an Indo licence as an quivelant, or French for that matter, they are nutz behind the wheel as well :flamed:

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
