Jasons pics give a fair idea as to how they look however as mentioned in real life they are so much better!!! So much so that on valentines night i was to busy staring at the dash being lit up that cops had their sirens on following me, i got booked doing 94 km/h in 70 zone, my fault really but i was to busy concentrating lookin at my new dash, I was mesmerised like i was a mosquito flying into one of those elctric zappers! so $150 and 3 points later i still have my nice mesmerising glowy dash :-)

Kyles good point!! Now for me to scrub Troy off my IOU list i will have to meet you guys at the gym this sunday and i will give him a good training session.... $10 says he won't show.. :-) ehehe!!

Ummmm well Ummmm yes...... i'm not normally a bad driver or a hoon as you know, but was in back streets 70 zone on the way to mums in 5th gear and was showing my new lady friend the dials not realising how fast then all of a sudden *Siren* i pulled off the road so my car was 3 quarts off the road and then over the loud speaker 'GET YOUR CAR OFF THE ROAD' I felt like a full on crim!! so yeah in the end 3 points and $150... spewing huh!

I'm just glad i didn't get yellow sticker, i have to learn to try and think of positive things, they popped my bonnet and went over my car, they saw my air filter and got a bit upset but i apologised and said would get permit, they were agrresive to start with but i guess if your nice enough and apologise and be polite then they calm down, there are some police that no matter what you say or do they are mean however these guys were pretty good in the end, it could have been a lot worse than it was so for what i got instead of what i could have had it was ok.

bl on the fine dood...

i dont have many points left :) i lost 6 in 1 weekend... and i only had nine before that...so do the math :D

its crap but thats life....i didnt buy my car to drive like a nanna....but i dont speed anymore...

oi jase, whats the plan this sat? go to evo r? what time etc etc? address? thanks mate... who else it gonna be there...? zanda>?

fane: just waiting on the last 3 sets to arrive .. I've just spoken with the guy, and they *SHOULD* be here this week

I will call him tomorrow and Friday and confirm when they've arrived.

Assuming they do arrive, it is easier for him if we get there earlier, so I was hoping we could get there at 9ish on Saturday ..

I'll post more as soon as I know :D

at this stage the weather this weekend looks like a pearler.

I will probably put mine in when they get here - or on saturday morning....

how long did it take everyone else? if I leave 2 hours is that realistic? never pulled the cluster, but I've pulled the dash surround hundreds of times.

The cluster itself comes out after the dash in about 4 mins. 3 plugs at the back and 4 screws from recollection.

That can them be taken quickly inside from the heat :D

You can get to the dials then sevles in about 2 mins. But the placing of the white bits is... "fiddly" (F**king things)

oh..as a word of advice the speedo dial must be completly removed from the house (3 screws behind it) for the boost gauge white bit to go in)

And the tach/temp/fuel is the hardest.

Have fun!!

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
