Hey,

Just thought I'd post up that my car is currently featured in this months (November Issue #154) issue of Performance Imports and I'm stoked!! LOL :D

Just like to thank everyone here on the forums who have helped out, whether it be helping me put the car together or just contributing to the forums with their knowledge. I would literally spend hours trawling the forums for tech info and first hand accounts from everyone and without the extensive SAU database of knowledge, there would be no way I could've built the car up to the point it is now.

I made a special shoutout in the article about the SAU forums so once again, thanks heaps to everyone for making the forums so informative :cheers: I know SAU has a rich history of having member cars being featured in various magazines (and to be honest, some of the cars featured are downright mint compared to mine) so I guess you can add another car to the list :)

Here are the pics from the article so if you guys are interested, grab a copy to read more about it (sorry for dodgy phone pics).

Thanks guys, but I still reckon it's nowhere near as good as some of the ones I've seen featured from SAU (eg. can't remember the name but it's a white 32 GTR built to be a RH9 contender. Somewhere in Queensland I think. Dude also has a 33 GTR too)

Tai1or Made: S2 > S1 hahahahaha :P

Terry: Nah, it was some bloke called Jun I think. I heard about Eric Tang before and wouldn't getting some pics from him, but I heard he heavily digitally alters the photos though?

Mate im sure theres been nicer cars with bugets to much, but you've still got to have a very clear clean paint and panel work for a mag feature.

Very tidy!!!

Sorry Frosty, I never bothered to make a build thread :( I guess it would've come in handy as the car started stock and I've noticed a few people in the FI section ask about top mounting turbos, front facing plenums etc.

That'd be Ben Earl's R32 GTR drag car, built for 1000+ HP and located in Mackay far north QLD. If it is him your talking about, the car is INSANE to watch race and will give you an erection.

Yeah, I think that's the one Seano. Just remembered, the numberplates were something like RBE85 or something? Either way, tough car.

Thanks cul8er, good to hear you're getting a feature too! Looks like SAU has quite a few feature cars floating around :cheers:

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      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.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz

      Blue slip

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
