Hullo everyone

Still got the R32 and the R30. Sold the Senator and bought a Isusu ute to tow the trailer. Had the 30 out a few times but have decided to rewire it as most of the circuitry is not needed now.

Couple of things.

The arial on the GTR is broken where the rod screws in and I am having trouble sourcing a new one. Apparently they are made by AutoFlex in Germany, not for any particular model or type. Model number is 7 691 2700110001 Universal top 12v. I can get one from UK for $200 but has anyone got a better idea?

Next, I am thinking of a Haltech ECU for the 30. Been told a Platinum ProR32 or a Platinum Sport 2000 will be suitable after minor wiring mods. Any experience?

Lastly, anyone running Flex-Fuel and can you get it easy?

John

Hi John,

No........ No alternative. I did the same. $200 mask as it screws straight in. The exchange rate was a lot better when I bought mine but it was still $150.

The only other thing you can do is use that heat shrink stuff to secure the broken section.

These are the sort of things that i just "suck it up" and pay the money. I've long forgotten about the money but driving around with a busted aerial would do my head in!

Good luck.......

Bob.

Hey Bob et al'

One of my posts from early 2011 was just liked (thanks Vitalikea) which rejogs my mind about our initial chat on organising an ADM meet and cruise...unfortunately it will be geographically challenging for some ppl (sorry Ken) but I think we should still do this :)

My car has been off the road for a year and finally will be registered again next week (fist pumps in the air).

Absolutely......... I've been an advocate of this for ages.

What I would like to do now is start a chain of ADM owners who visit this thread.

I'll start - User Name - Real Name and Colour and Location.

1 - Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR - Bob - Red Wine - North West Sydney.

Brad, I'll grab one mate. PM me your bank det's mate. I'll tfr from my Nigerian account, but really, shoot me a PM.

I'd love a cruise but alas, the gtr is sleeping and will be for a while.

The list looks like this so far......

1 - Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR - Bob - Red Wine - North West Sydney.

2 - Marko R1 - Marko - Jet Silver - Inner West Sydney

3 - Boywhocriedwolf (fkn ash), Ken-wine red mica-Sunshine Coast QLD.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
