Yep it is red mate, and it has the touch screen Navi on the oem screen too - so I assumed you had a hand in it Chris. It is in Perth now - did you do it in Qld or did he fly you over? Also, did he get the km lined up, or are they out?

look at it this way do you discuss what you do for a living in detail on a public forum :) ? I tend not to given most know that I work on these cars for a living and it how I pay my house loan and other expenses.

put simply - its doable and I can do it :P I will answer certain questions but how I do things is not one of them.

Ah that explains why you haven't replied to my emails chris. Are you saying that you want money to help someone?, you know my situation (i'm in NZ) how much $ would you need?

I think what a lot of us fail to realise is that Chris is an Auto Lecky by trade. It's what he does and what he enjoys doing. At the end of the day, he built his knowledge through years of servitude to the industry. He knows his stuff because in an industry fuelled by clients not wanting to pay decent dollars and companies offering crap services for minimal fees, the guys with the best knowledge and most innovative are the ones that stand out from the pack. He's a master of his trade and we can't just ask him for freebies. He built his intellectual property and shares a lot more info about what he does than most do about their day to day jobs. Let's give him a break eh?!

Well said, t5iv. People seem to fail to realise that not everyone here is just a general member of the public and/or enthusiast.

If someone doesn't want to divulge their secrets for whatever reason, be it on the basis of profession or just simply not wanting to tell, then respect it and do the same homework they've done. We all learn from experience so if you don't find the information you need, make an effort to figure out the information yourself. Grab schematics, find old junked out gear and if you're really ballsy, make carefully calculated tests with your own vehicle. If something breaks along the way, be sure to have the cash around to fix it. :)

Thankfully the firewall grommet ring that I broke only cost me $7 but I bought 2 just in case I'm an idiot for a second time. :P

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
