:Oops: Yep, Cairns to Canberra in three days (3000 Klms) and only two speeding tickets. must not be trying hard enough. One was an almost fair cop, you know the usual, hiding in the undergrowth at the bottom of a long downhill run on a dual lane divided motorway. Both in the wonderful state of depression, sorry, NSW. Just on a side note, aren't the police cars pretty when they turn on all the lights. Ah well just a bit more for the Bob Carr re-election fund I suppose.

Cheers

im sure there is more than 1 in oz.. coz i got one too... and im definaely sure that there are more hiding out there

Thanks ed R34,

That was a tongue in cheek thing. It's good to know that there are some more R34's out there although on the trip between Cairns and Canberra, I only saw one R33 just south of Mackay and one R32 just near Maitland. Must all hang around the cities.

It was a great trip only spoiled by the boys in blue. I have often heard it said on this forum, that once you have driven a skyline most other cars in the same price category are found wanting. I would now have to agree. Turbo cars sure put the fun back into driving. After a lengthy recent diet of NA 4 cyls, the Skyline is a bloody great drive.

:cheers:

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
