What did they want to hit you for a PWR cooler? Even the repco "V8" auto trans cooler kit is only $110 and it uses a PWR core.:rolleyes:

Everyone who works at Repco reckons they work on race cars; especially when they can't find parts for your car.:thumbsup:

Ebay is your friend for a little cooler; trust me...

PWR was 'on sale' for ~$90. Funny thing was, he told me to go and look at the PWR web site, but the one he was talking to me about wasn't on there...

So how small can we go to do the job? I'd reckon it doesn't need to be half as big as the trans cooler to be OK, considering we don't have one at all.

Then i started wondering if a larger one (trans cooler size or even bigger) mounted out of the front airflow (a bit tight for space there) would radiate enough heat to be effective?

Nismo PM35 cooler is only a couple of inches longer. I don't think it'll have to be too big. My biggest concern was issues from it being too big.

I'm running an Falcon EF transcooler for my power steering with a thermostat....will be fine.

Nah, I'm more interested in getting something new. Probably this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130481576673?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

So in Jethro's case.... driving past with low & too much tint... a criminal act?? I reckon he had a good case to tell them to get of his property.

Hmmm, bit late to do that!

Something tells me there's nothing much I can do...I mean, I couldn't park in my garage because another car in there...so the copper had a good walk around my car (parked on my property) and wrote up a defect notice...

Are you sure they cannot enter people's property at will? I understand they can't barge into a house, but front yard/driveway...

hmm interesting read: http://www.trafficlaw.com.au/your.rights.html

I think since I was driving on a "highway" and commited a crime with my "dangerously lowered and tinted car", the police have reasonably cause to enter my property to look at the car...well, I guess they could've just looked at it from the roadside...

So many lies in that ad it hurts me.

More over, isnt Dannys this one http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/389382-had-an-accident-today-no-insurance/ ? The license plate starts with BE, it looks to have Brembo brakes and the exhaust has twin tips (Obviously different wheels). Id say its just a repeating ad they havent taken down.

probably a dealer advertising cars they dont have so people will go there, when they ring they say 'ohh yeah it just sold'

So, just bought the replacement for the stagea. Dont laugh!

Got it brand new, collect Friday.

147KW petrol with DSG. Mines a sedan, not a wagon shown in this pic. Same colour!

My girlfriends old man has the wagon, perhaps a slightly older model though (had it for over a year) - nice car though! Ridiculously economical to run too, I couldn't believe the mileage he gets on the thing

probably a dealer advertising cars they dont have so people will go there, when they ring they say 'ohh yeah it just sold'

A definite possibility.

did he get the oil burner? 1 year old is the same shape, the older shape has squarish headlights

He's never mentioned burning oil, it looks to be the same shape - wasnt sure exactly how new to the market it was when he got it :thumbsup: The seats aren't anywhere near as comfy as the M35 ones imho though! :nyaanyaa:

i have to admit the M35 seats are friggen comfy!! leather FTW :)

i couldnt stretch the budget to full leather, the standard leather/fabric trim is pretty nice.

i just found out it has a DVD player!

G A Y......Iain!

Rip.....Iain the awesome.

can get a remap for 200kw + more torques + faster dsg, while under warranty thats probably all ill do.

ive really wanted a new(ish) car for a long time. ended up with an actual new car. it has everything, except electric seats which is really weird

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • 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. 
    • 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
    • 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 
    • 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)
