I wish......

it has a single mechanical fan. everything that affects cooling has been replaced except for water pump and head gaskets.... water pump is on order but wont have time to swap it til after the meet. it runs fine in the city so i'll just live with it for now and maybe install a housing without a thermostat til then

while the thermostat is off i should be able to drop a snake cam into the motor and have a look at the pump's fins

Your water pump is ok mate, thats the simplest stuff under time chain case. The problem could be air in system or radiator. Have you relised the air from screw-valve which is almost behind the engine?

Anyway manual says that water pump can be changed without taking chain case off but you will have to play with crankshaft pulley and marks. Also you will get two O-rings with water pump and one of them should come with white double stripe that has to be installed first.

See you all tomorrow, cant do much with the weather sorry, but i hope it stays dry.

Should be a good day :rofl: .

I spoke with a mate who has a white coupe with slamming Volk wheels on and he hopes to be coming too.

I know Brad (ducati02) spoke to a few V35 owners and I believe some of them are coming too.

Yes I let about 20 owners know about the cruise. Ive said to them they should look at joining the club for more events and discounts. Also meet people with same interests. Hope you get a good turn out like the Stagea cruises. Wish to see plenty of photos

Well we had a pretty good turnout for our V-Series SA gathering.

Big :thanks: to everyone that came along, with a special mention to Munro for making an apperence in his R35 GTR.

It was great to meet everyone and get some ideas & tips, we will have organise some future events.

Stay tuned for pics from the cruise, i will have some posted up shortly.

Cheers.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
