There's a steep driveway at my Mum's place which would abrade low lips like nobody's business at the bottom concave section.

Then I installed a rubber speed hump set. It took half an hour to get the positioning just right & then the masonry bolts went in.

The lower lip only faintly brushes the rubber hump now :)

Did the dodgy and used a plank of wood and some bricks... looks so shabby

Will look @ investing in some of those rubber speed humps.... I have the same problem with the curve @ the top of the driveway.

Have to reverse up to get out too! Skidding all over the place with the semi slicks ....0.o

I made a custom lip that was 20mm shorter than standard. Extreme approach but I have the driveway from hell (but ain't moving cause cost us just about everything we owned to get into this place).

Oh and have the wood and bricks too to get out of the garage to the incline on the driveway (goes up then down onto the street).

Pick and shovel with hard work or a bobcat and cash.

I made a driveway, carport, and level paved area all by hand.

It helps to have construction experience so you get the drainage and retaining walls right.

Second hand pavers and my own ute made it cheap.

My back says i should have paid for a bobcat.

>_<

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
