Looking forward to it in 18 hours. Even though i need to drive from Caringbah to Smithfield in peak hour but, I am still going to love it.

Haha so was it worth it?? I think it was!!!!

Tha ks alot for everyone who put in time for tonight and hope to see many more to come.

Probly looking at buying Tyres with some spare cha ge. Better not go to to many tech nights or I'll turn my car I to a rocket without still learning how to drive it!!

Ah well hopefully these Tyres will aid that :)

A hge thanks to Mick and the team at NTW for putting on an excellent night (not to mention beer and food).

It was a great turn out as well, the place was pretty much full with over 35 people along to check out what was happening.

I though it was a good mix of information on how tyrs work, how to maintain them, and how to bag out commodore drivers. The highlight for me was learning from Mick that "when the steel belts are sparking, it's probably time to change tyre". That and that Neil adn Charles both remember whitewall, bias-ply tyres.

The next night is on 19 October at Wholesale suspension in Penrith, I'm sure a thread will be up soon

Sean's car was nearly taken out by an errant taxi on the way home.

I only remember how flammable tyres could be. :domokun:

NTW had heaps of staff on just for us! > Chuffed !

So again, many thanks to Mick and all of the guys really!

What do you mean remember - my 1951 Peugeot 203 still has these fitted to it on a set of 16 x 4 factory rims.

This was an informative night with a number of questions answered both during the presentation and the subsequent discussions.

Yeah, the taxi driver thinking that 2 lanes turning at the lights, means that both are his....grrr!!

Was a great night otherwise, great turn out and presentation. Would of been there earlier but was fixing Dave's new clutch!

Thanks Duncan and thankyou to everyone who attended!

I can speak for all of the NTW team when I say that you guys were a great crowd and we would be happy to have everyone attend another night similar to this one (especially those who couldn't make it this time) sometime in the not too distant future.

I hope that everyone who came now has a little more knowledge on tyres and how to get the best out of them!

Cheers, :cheers:

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
