Does that Amber tail light mean it only brakes with the inside lights :(

Stupid Nissan Australia! Way to kill the hotplates

I also agree with it being stupid.

Seemed a natural occurrence with Australian delivered skylines.

C110 - 240K had outside indicators instead of 4 red hotplates

C210 - R30 didn't come with them at all.

Series 1/2 R31 didn't either

but Series 3 did.

All the above models, japan released all had hot plate round tailights.

not sure if the RTA is like the QT up here but you can request QT here to contact the owner and have them contact you if they wish to.

the roof dent - not that bad. mind you to fix it will take a full strip/spray of the roof. mine has one like that on teh opposite corner same colour.

rest of it decent nick and definitely worth doing if you can get you hands on it.

as for opening one. easily done with the correct tools.

I drove past a few days after posting the pics and the car was gone. I left my business card logged in the front door asking him if he was interested in selling the car.

I heard nothing so presumable the car was just left there to rot and the owner has finally moved it.

Anyway it made interesting discussion.

I believe I know who the owner of the car is and his house is in that street. I can't tell you why it was out there. I doubt he will sell it. I thought the family still drives it, but maybe hasn't for a while.

hey you know you can contact the owner if you like legally...you can try this with the cops but depends who you speak to if they can be bothered helping you...but you ring your RTA and tell them you need to contact the owner of this car and they will contact them for you and then they'll get back to you...this means they don't give you his/her details but you still get your msg across...i've done it once before with VICROADS

      Found the answer: it wont fit without a bit of work- you'd have to change the guards as well

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      Ok cool, because I do have some OEM BMW options for light(er) wheels. 17x8.5 M Sport wheels are 11kg and I could put 255's on them. Maybe that's an initial test.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So, in the effort of pulling apart airboxes and testing enclosures to see if this aids in MAP loss at WOT I noticed: 1) The ducts up the OEM intercooler holes from the front bar help IAT drastically, whether the pod is shielded from the engine bay by an airbox missing a lid, or an airbox WITH a lid. Plus you get more induction sound without the lid. Having half the airbox (with no lid) acting as a barrier to the headers seems to help. 2) For shits and giggles I checked the TB. This was full pedal travel. This is actually full travel of the TB. Photos aren't perfect, but there was definitely an amount of play in it and it wasn't against the stop. After much swearing and adjusting the pedal, I realised that the cable is actually too long for the skyline pedal travel to fully articulate it. Having the pedal adjusted so WOT was actually hard open on WOT resulted in an idle of 3500rpm. As an aside, this was also the TPS registering at 3.1%. I removed the above to give the pedal enough travel to actually fully open the TB. I now get a satisfying 'thonk' on full open and full closed which you can hear pumping the pedal as it hits the TB stops (with the bonnet open and intake back on). Luckily for me, the screw screws into a raised metal boss under this plastic piece that is now acting as the new throttle stop. I've gained about 20mm (ish) of pedal travel and I can move it maybe a mm or two post open-thonk before it's hard against the stop. After all of this I did a bit of road tuning because a 102MM throttle is sensitive. The difference between holding an 950rpm idle and instantly stalling is about 0.4% of TPS movement. Will that help? I suppose it can't hurt. I set 'closed' point back to where it was, I can definitely feel the extra pedal travel that is needed to actually open the TB fully. But this morning I dropped the car off at Paint Jail again, so who knows when this will re-eventuate out to see if it helps with the top of the dyno hitting a ceiling.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Take heart that everyone else seems to have found a way. The OEM S1 indicators do slot in pretty firmly. It may simply be a case of having them sit slightly looser and nobody actually ever noticed this when attempting to remove a indicator from a JSAI bar :p
