So, I got the bad news today that my ViPec needs to be sent to WA to be repaired and could take 4 plus weeks.

This puts me in a sticky situation as I need a car for work

Until..... I hit a goddam Kangaroo.

Oh the humanity.. Beep Beep Booooop.

Is the shitta still drivable or was it a big roo?

Gave them a wash before the sun went down

Ooh so nice. Pretty jealous Edited by gtr judd

Damn man, thats some bad luck!! Guess you can only be glad it was the shitter and not the line..

Got a new key deliivered, my old one is quite worn so I had a cheapy cut first, it's REALLY tight to turn! is this normal?

at first I didn't think it was going to work, but noticed a little movement so used more force. do I need to get it trimmed down a bit further? do the lock barrels need fixing?

It was just a glancing blow.. Bit of a ding, the bumper dislodged which I screwed back into place, bit of trim gone and the headlight hanging out which I got back into place. Very lucky.

Yeah not suprised your Jelly of the Barina :woot:

Willing to swap? R34 GTT for Barina? :woot:

Try wd40 on the key.

Graphite powder is also good for new keys and locks.

wd40 made no difference. is it likely the powder will be much better?

today, the key won't work at all in the boot (just like the 'spare' key i got with the car. But i presume its meant for valet. though the valet key has different valley size)

Light sanding as suggested to take burs off then Graphite powder on key and Ignition barrel.

some things shouldn't be WD40'd. (locks is one of them)

In other news replaced steering wheel in the GTR this morn with a newie :rolleyes:

old one is in top cond but was tempted to onsell to a mate. (and had the other sitting on the shelf taking space)

Sometimes money trumps having spares.

I hit a small one on the GDE one morning, cracked the bumper, proke a headlight mount tab, and a couple small dents. I stitched the bumper back together with cable ties.....PERFECT.

Also, you can't even begin to imagine how jealous I am...

on topic and maybe of of interest - a full new set of R32 GTR locks including ignition barrel is $240

thinking I may buy a complete new set and get the NIsmo key cut to suit Sin.

Cant see myself selling the car or the key so seems logical they should be "locked" together :P

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
