RACV classic car insurance rejected me because I've had 3 speeding fines in the last 2 years. thats cool, theyre insurance is shit anyway.

Insurance equivalent of calling a girl a slut because she wouldn't put out for you

Insurance equivalent of calling a girl a broad minded person because she wouldn't put out for you

if she was from any other Aus state sure, but in Vic where the girls crack the shits for under 5km/h is a bit harsh.

Simon became a sparky since he has the unearthed one.

Indeed... I now have 6 of these, since I made the ebay seller send me another to replace a "broken" one... then I refused to pay return postage, so got to keep it (works fine)

When I was under the car the other night doing suspension work, had one of these sitting down on the floor shining up under the car... as they put out no heat its got all the brightness of a 500W halogen, but none of the "I'm going to set things on fire if you don't keep at eye on me" annoyance. No dicking around with little LED torches or light bars either.

So going to keep 2 of them portable (will just wire up an extension lead onto them) and mount the other 4 around the walls.

They're a bargain at about $25 ea... but yeah, they aren't particularly safe straight out of the factory :| And being 240V they may not be suitable for your needs if you want one to be used away from a power source (or powered by the car itself)

yeah thats the deal breaker for me. portable so i can use it at work plus in tight spots.

those magnetic LED torch/bar things are super handy for cars, kinda like: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/72-LED-Powered-Mechanics-Magnetic-Hanging-Trouble-Work-Light-Bar-Lamp-Useful-/231295295853?pt=AU_Sport_Camping_Hiking_Lamps_Torches&hash=item35da46216d

Leroy, you'd want a rechargeable one though. That linked one uses AA batteries.

you're right. the one i have is 12v rechargable battery. comes with powerpoint and car charger, cost me $48 or something.

Hmm... do I stay with 3rd party or go comprehensive with JustRipsoffs?

Honestly it depends how hard you drive it...

If you're doing twisty cruises and hills runs... Full Comp right away...

If you're driving it twice a week to go to your mums place for tea, I'd stay on 3rd party fire THEFT until you can afford it.

Also, if you've got the money sitting in your account, you just don't Want to spend it... then go Full Comp.

bought nissan key thinking it was a gtst key, not a gtst key.

Oh Noes, Moh got Moh'd...

Googling for Skyline GTST Blank Key doesn't actually come up with any images of the key that I've got with mine Black plastic with an S imprinted in it.

Mine:

Mohsen's new one:

Does my one have a separate part number, Mike?

Theres about 10 different Nissan keys available for all the skylines, they're mostly under $5 each. I've always planned on ordering one if each to find out which is which and which may be nla but never have LOL

    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
