umm Malcolm has been a regular, active and long term member of the club. I'm sure if he is not currently a member it is because he is not aware his membership has expired ;)

I do know that but Malcolm should be aware of that as well :P

... hi corrine ... i thought youd forgotten me ... :( ... hihi only kidding :) ! ... youre also right i didn't know there was an event area that couldn't be viewed unless you're a member ... where is it ? ... looking forward to catching up ... cheers malcolm ... :) ...

The events calendar is up for our "Big" events next year (Check the 2010 events thread - updated in the first post).

Now that we have those locked in we'll be working on the social events to fill in on the less active months. So it will be updated by Jan. Dec is generally a very slow time since everyone is busy with their personal lives.

Keep an eye out for more social stuff happening soon. Or maybe take this opportunity to organise an "Unofficial" pizza cruise Malcolm. It's always good to see that sweet ride of your's!

(PS - just PM Shell to organise your membership renewal. We're working to get a better system up and running soon.)

Organise one, Malcolm! I'm sure you know some nice roads, and it would be good to catch up, too.

:D

Actually we were just discussing how it was a really nice example of a R33 :)

Ive just back from a nice little drive to Batemans Bays and back today, long way there and short way home, bloody cold on the top of the range, thought my car was broked for a minute, I looked down at my temp gauge and it was hardly registering, going down the mountain doing 100 kph at 5 deg outside temp will do that, traffic wasnt bad either, a little bit of it on the way down but it was cold and wet and I was driving in the clouds, awesome, but coming back up through the twities was great, only traffic I hit was just prior to a overtaking lane.

One bad point was a couple of idiot drivers using the whole road, i.e crossing double lines on bends, and not just a little bit either, one guy was a half way over the other side of the road on every corner when I came up behind him, he was crap, I blew by him on a straight and left him to cause accidents without me around to witness the mess.

Found a nice place to stay for a few days in early Jan too, I was lucky because everywhere else was booked out, 2 bd rm apartment for $190 a night, bargain.

Thinking of doing the Snowy Mountains again sometime over the next month too, 2 day trip, will be fun.

I went down to adaminaby and cooma the other day. Took the dirt track on the way there lol

It is a good run but too many idiot farmers in beat up utes doing 75 in single lane sections and 130 in the overtaking sections

    • 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.
