hi guys and gal (NismoGirl ;) )

well guess what?...I'm coming up again!! :D

lucky you huh!!! :D hehehehe (NOT)

here's my plans...

I'm coming up on the weekend before Indy (Fri 18th-20th Oct)

so I will be in Brisbane for the weekend...and then my bf is going to fly up and join me after the weekend and we'll head down the coast for the week leading up to Indy.

So I was hoping *maybe* you guys might have some kind of a cruise on the Saturday night (19th Oct) that I could tag along on....show me the sights of the City, or maybe go down to the bwcp...or anything really??

:) Birty the challenge is on :lol:

Friday night drinking?????????????????

hehehe

anyway guys let me know! I'd love to see you all again! Hopefully I'll be awake this time (unlike dragcombat) :D

Marc, yeah it was pretty crazy last year huh...especially navigating the traffic in that bloody Tarago thingy of MRGTR's :lol:

The Saturday night I'm talking about is the weekend before Indy though...and i meant a cruise around Brissy...we don't even have to go down the CG.

I have to go visit some relatives and stuff (yay)..but I'd rather spend the Sat night with u guys!! :)

Luke, yes I'm going to Indy of course!!!! can't wait! wish I had grandstand tickets *sulk* ;) Just general admission for me. (p.s. I think I'll stay away from Mt Cootha this visit LOL - I'm bad luck :) )

Boxhead, no stickers, sorry :)

you can have an SDU one if you want :lol: :lol:

Last year was, shall we say, memorable :) Going for rides on the bouncing castle, little hairy pizzas, 'oh look, the rev limiter IS up past 8000... and I don't have a speed limiter', 4th gear chirp at 170 with 5 people...

Were you with us when we went to pick up Steve and Mark? They were pretty hammered... 'jusht do a u-turn on the briiiidge... we'll hold up the traffic for you'... classic ;)

Yeah that run in Gary's 33 was pretty cool :) I'd ask slip how his pizzas are going but he'd probably get the wrong idea :bahaha:

Aah the bouncing castle - actually you might not have been with us at that stage. We were cruisin Cavill Ave in the Enterprise, and slip starts asking all the fat chicks if he can have a ride on the bouncy castle... can't remember whether any of them heard him or not but we were pissing ourselves laughing

Weather is nice up here, getting hot actually, even here in Toowoomba which is normally a good few degrees below Brisbane and the coast.

Got a helmet?? :)

i've got the heater back on tonight :)

Just about every girl I know is freezing all the time... the rest of us will be sweating heaps, fan on etc, and all the chicks just sit there with bloody jumpers, long pants, ugg boots (ok maybe not), doonas, you name it, and they're still shivering. Weird.

mad shit sounds good!!! :uh-huh: :)

I'll be up for anything...I have 4 days and visiting the relatives won't take up too much time (if I can help it LOL)

haha Marc...it's a chick thing! I can't explain it. It's exactly the same here! At work, me and the girls wait till the guys are out of the room, then we turn the heaters up and hope they don't notice ;) Hey! ugg boots rock! as long as you don't leave the house in them! :)

    • 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. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
