Just installed the USA-spec pa15-nis. Very easy plug and play set up, only 3 plugs.

The sound is awesome as I expected. I can't recommend this enough to anyone (like me) that's wants to keep the factory single din stereo to keep it intergrated with the factory tv screen and wants to add in an iPod/iPhone to it. You can also add another audio device into the unit.

Music is all control either via the factory head unit or the iPod/iPhone itself and it charges them.

Only $160ish delivered via eBay out of the US.

Just took the car in for a wheel alignment, front bushes and ball joints are knackered.

I know SuperPro do the bushes, but anyone know where I can get the replacement ball joints?

Washed my filthy car today.rolleyes.gif

I've been looking at foam lances for a while now for my Karcher; prices ranged from $200 odd blink.gif to just under $75 delivered (UK). These are pro quality items, and you can adjust how much foam you actually get.

Anyway, I saw this at Bunnings; http://www.karcher.com.au/aus/Products/Home__Garden/Accessories.htm?&sdp=ac&pid=26418480&accessoriesGroupName=Special+applications&pn=Foam+nozzle%2C+0.3+litre&title=Foam+nozzle%2C+0.3+litre&refP=%2Faus%2FProducts%2FHome__Garden%2FAccessories.htm%3F%26accGrNm%3D10011604__Special%2520applications

2641848_popup.jpg It has a 300mL cup and was only $15!

It works great! Took a little fine tuning to get the mix right; and you need to work fast in the foaming stage, (the cup empties fairly quickly) but now I'm foaming like a rabid monkey!banana.gif

For anyone who's wondering; the foam softens the muck on the paint better than just hosing; allowing you to pressure wash off most of the stuff that scratches the paint when you manually wash.

The more you can get off without touching the paint; the less fine scratches you put on the car. On a black car it makes a big difference to how often you need to do paint correction.

New front upper control arms with nolathane rubbers (or SuperPro????) for my NM35 today at Wholesale Suspension, Penrith, NSW.

This was on top of replacing the lower ones abt 6 weeks ago (by Jetwreck). The knock in the suspension had gone away but came back

again after a while, particularly when under heavy braking.

Picked the car up from Pedders, rear is dumped, but only just level with the front. Weird... but can't go any lower on the rear. Haven't measured yet though.

Got my new blow off valve in the mail today, Turbosmart Nissan specific dual port. Nicely made unit. Fit it this afternoon, not too hard, just had a higher pick up for the hose. Set it up as plumb back, and set it as stiff as it went.

Gives a fair bit of flutter, but other than that is all good. Will back off the stiffness in the morning and see if that lessens the flutter. Main thing is it fixes the 'farting', guess I'll find out over the weekend, with a drive to McLaren Vale and back.

Picked up my car from All Type today. Largely happy with the job, would have liked them to touch up the car more, but I think I always knew that the job wouldn't be up to my standards..

Grille is painted and fitted. Wing will go on tomorrow when I get some adhesive rubber stuff for it.

yep, that is indeed a good start. too small but at least it gives an idea of how they would look.

actually that looks like a well built car at a glance

Lol, I was only really referring to the exterior; rivetted on flares over the existing rear doors, etc.

Everything under the skin is beautifully fabricated.:thumbsup: Definitely has attitude.

ahh yeah, some practicality lost, but otherwise it's pretty good. I like a home built race car, they can have heaps of good ideas. Like the rear door on that one for instance

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
