Sorry I missed the Xmas dinner, had a family issue to deal with. My poor eldest son felt the need to protect himself (with a blade) from his pyscho mother who was beating him. Not good....

sold my track car tonight to a sau:nsw member. Plus I've sold the house, out of here early January. Busy week with a lot happening.... able to move on with life now tho. Will be set for uni next year, things are taking a turn for the better.

I don't wanna be that guy, but seriously what has happened to spelling and grammar? I swear as the years go by, it just gets worse and worse on SAU. I dont give a shit about missing commas and petty shit, but the your and youre, where and were, some people just have zero idea. Hope they never have to write their own resumes and do an office job! Some people on here cant even string a sentence together ffs!

I think you'll find that most people that can't spell or use grammar actually work for the Advertiser...

Yeah, people are stupid.

just finished watching that new film about the isle of man tt "closer to the edge". i knew those guys where crazy but it gave me a whole new respect for them.

also featured probably the worst looking crash ive ever seen from conor cummins, google it if you want

^^^ how lucky was he to go over that rock wall - had he hit it they would have been identifying him by dental records! Nasty stuff - and yes those guys are freaking crazy!

If you haven't already, track down a copy of "Grand Prix: the Killer Years" - same sort of story, it gives you a whole new respect for racers and what they do.

yeah seen that a few years ago. pretty shocking the way the sports governing body let the conditions for drivers get to such a level, guys are needlessly getting killed in almost every race.

although the same could be said for road racing (not that i would agree with it)

I got these seals etc as part of a VRS kit I bought a while a go, does anyone know what they are / where they go?

There's 24 of the little brass cups on the left, so I'm thinking it's all valve related?

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • 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.
