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.

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
