hey I'm Joe.

originally from Wellington, NZ, but have lived in SE Melb for 7 years now. pretty new to the whole SAU scene, and fairly new to the mechanical side of vehicles in general (I can change a tyre, check the oil, do an oil change and other simple shit, but knowledge doesn't extent much past that point!)

prior to the discovery of this wonderful website, I spent most of my time playing video games competitively, namely World of Warcraft. I played in two guilds that are fairly reputable, vodka and Adept. Throughout my time playing WoW I met some genuinely amazing people who I keep in contact with to date, however after many years of slaying internet dragons and feeling the adrenaline rush of up to 40 other people, I decided to throw it in the towel and stop relying on my rich rents to get shit done.

I recently purchased my first car, a 98 n/a R34 sedan, however I've been driving unlicensed for the last 4 years (never been pulled up, breath tested once, was not asked for licence); I have zero doubts that I'll be pulled up and fined for something because, well, that's how it works right? -_-

EXTREMELY fond of Reggae music, love that shit. Mad respect for Bob Marley, Katchafire and the likes ~ recently saw Katchafire live at The Forum in Melbourne, was honestly speechless and absolutely drowned myself in the music. I'm also into rap/rnb/soul ~ drake/john legend/otis redding/pusha T, could list heaps more but there's really no point, I'd be here all day.

Pretty eager to learn new shit (I work in Aged Care as a Lifestyle coordinator, with an emphasis on our alzheimer's and dementia residents!) and am open suggestions if anyone has any (in the event that you see one of my posts and think I am making a huge mistake), so yeah!

anyway hope to build some strong friendships and whatnot here, maybe attend a few social events and share a beer or something. thanks for reading.

Firstly, welcome.

secondly, without a license for 4 years?

seriously?

I recommend you get one, then enjoy your car legally.

apart from that, I'm sure you're already loving your car.

hope you find some useful info in these many pages.

I've had it for about 4 months now, but yeah I had been driving for 4yrs without it. Trust me, I agree with you 100%, feels like smoking medicinal marijuana.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
