agreed........

so i got rear ended by a drunken one eyed bogan in a commondoor on Torrens road last night while on my way across town to see ralf.

the dumb bastard decided he could do a runner........(in hind sight i shouldn't have chased him, but the heat of the moment kinda took me)

so i finally got him to pull over in what he said was his drive way (lies), preceded to tell me the damage wasnt his and that he didnt do any of it. and that he has no insurance and that i should just walk away and my lifes not worth it....really?? geebus.......frackin local bogans. needless to say i drove around the corner and called the Police. while on the phone to the popo he drove past again all over the shoppe.

The wife took the crappy ass wing off her R33, other than that its going well. the Hicas light has started coming on over 80kmh etc. also needs inner tie rods outter ball joint thingos and lock bar for the hicas or a driftworks eliminator kit so not sure which way we will go yet. not long ago got a mongoose alarm fitted by Chris Rogers and very happy with his work and the alarm:)

The Cressida finally has some work happening! getting an Emanage Ultimate and a genuine head gasket for the 1jz and started pulling parts off the motor getting ready to remove it to see why it pumping oil. also got some R33 calipers and BA falcon rotors for the brake upgrade ready to go.

I can't wait to drive a real car again instead of my hail damaged festiva which is doing well, just replaced a couple of bushes tonight

Sorry to hear about being rear ended Boiracer that sucks!

bloody bogan commos...

If people are keen, this thursday we are going down to carseldine @ 7:30. The morayfield grp will meet at the bp@7 and head down.

I got work at 8:45 so ill leave around 8:30

just picked the car up.. Only made 320hp which is a bit disappointing. Supposedly had a poor batch of fuel which didnt have enough timing in it.

Mind you upgrading from 240 to 320 is still a nice jump and car has a nice smooth power delivery to it.

HICAS eliminator kit adds to a nicer drive as well.

Will have dyno graph tomorrow as today is a Public Holiday for those brissie folk

yeah I know that feeling, where did you get it tuned?

In Brissie, not big on naming names....

Its more to do with the car than the tune i think

Not willing to name the tuner that is a bit odd...I am looking for a new tuner guess I will just do what everyone else does and take it to EFI.

Why's that Clint???? Just because Peter's not interested in tuning hand granades. What do you think EFI will do for you, that we haven't already done?????

Nothing wrong with a second opinion Brad, Sean did my last car and I wouldn't mind putting a Nistune in to see if the Power FC is the issue before I go spending another $1200 on tuning.

I get the SAU member discount down at EFI for a fit and Tune of the Nistune.

How is the car a hand grenade? I have taken Peter's advise at every turn he is the only person to work on it since purchase apart from an oil change and plugs I have done, just trying to eliminate potential issues 1 at a time.

If I had cash up my sleeve I would buy a Haltech but lets face it House trumps car, I am exploring options on what I can do and a Nistune that is $1k is cheaper while retaining factory R&R protection of the engine rather than retuning a potentially faulty Power FC and it playing up.

To rule the AFM out I will get it retuned wither with another Z32 AFM or the stock unit.

I have sent many of the local skyline owners Peter's way and have also recommended your work as well, I think that as a car owner I am entitled to look at what options are available to me based on my budget so at least I am aware of what is achievable.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
