ROFL

top work brad :P howd u manage to blow a service fuse?

Trying to get the top cap off the 3phase bus to put another CB in. When I lifted the cap up it was tight and my screwdriver sliped and touched the phase to earth.

Anyone know anything about Turbo Tune on South road?

And none of this "friend of a friend" crap please!

had a stagea dyno day there a year ago.

was run by 2 lads my age, tuners dad runs Adelaide Turbo Services and uncle runs Southern hitech dyno.

or vice-versa. Not sure if ownership has changed since. havent got any comments as I havent had work done there before.

news my end, signing a house sale contract this afternoon.

not sure what to do with the stagea, rebuild bottom end and tidy up paint (rust under mirrors, flaking pain around rear wheel arches), or trade in on something like a VE SV6 commodore.......

trade in and enjoy the 32.

Lesson learnt I will take a spare service fuse next time :P

I work in sub stations so I cant turn them off (even tho it does happen :whistling: )

I looked at the screwdriver today in the light and it only had a tiny little splat. Those HRC fuses are quick

My car has been on the dyno at Turbo Tune, but only because an unnamed workshop DROVE my car to Turbo Tune for a dyno run to diagnose a problem.

How'd it go there?

Got my 33 booked in for a tune there, just wanna make sure they're decent!

How are they tuning it? What ECU?

My car has been tuned there a number of times but it was Jeff (TSL) that was doing the tuning and just using their dyno.

On a side note, Does anyone on here own a R34 Sedan plate number GTT-034

I had my old 32 there a few times when Dave keen was running it and all was good. His son Michael now runs it but I haven't been there while this has been the case. They have a 4wd dyno tho.

I can certainly vouch for John Keens(brother/uncle) tunes at Southern Hi tech dyno.

Ahhh, he's a good boy our Brad, stop picking on him :P

By the way Jet, are you coming up to Kadina Show for the day (Sun 12th June).............it's Ford country out there and if you were to put the "Snot Mobile" up against an Audi R8 (or similar), you'd bring home the bacon by a landslide :rofl2:

LOL, I may even put the Taxi amongst the Skylines to give them a chance of winning "Best Club Display" :nyaanyaa:.............there's some serious ferals in them neck of the woods....bit like a visit to Alberton (God's own country - The Promised Land) :cheers:

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
