Jack stand on the chassis, tsk :no:

Word of advice with the HICAS light, don't just remove the bulb. If you ever need to get the car inspected, the pits guys know to look for that. All the lights should come on when you switch the key to on, if it doesn't they know you have removed the bulb. Best way to get past it is to wire that bulb into one of the other bulbs, so that it will come on when the key is switched on.

Strangely enough they aren't worried about HICAS being deleted, just the fact the light doesn't work. They're an odd breed.

Where's best for the stands? :S

Thanks for the tip on the light. In Dubbo it wouldn't be much of an issue. Most people don't even know what a Skyline is let alone HICAS :P . Good to know though as I plan to go to Sydney for some events along the way :)

Whilst attacking the wiring I decided it was time to spend the money on braided lines all around the hot side. Clearly heat wasn't going to be nice. Insert big box of Aeroflow parts here haha >>

Anyway, on to Sunday. Supersprint at Mount Panorama. I didn't really take any pictures, but did have the GoPro in the car. I was still getting used the new power delivery and I had also asked Jez to

Just FYI for next time, those aren't pressure plates. They are the clutch plates.

I love guys who are DIY and hands on :) So good work mate.

My bad haha. Like I said I'm not the most mechanical person myself, and I was relying solely on my friend to get all the work done. I was just a work horse so to speak hahaha.

Thanks for the kind words :) Hopefully I get to do a bit more myself, I love actually working on cars (especially my own) but just don't have the full know how to do everything on my own lol.

Hey with the Hicas bar on R34 is it as important as with 33 ans 32s because i thought 34s have the electronic Hicas unlike the Hydraulic ones that eventually break.Shed some light on me if im in the dark.

Hey, I'm a little confused by what you're asking. Do you mean is it important to replace to prevent it from breaking? If so, I'm not too sure, I simply fitted the lock bar to get rid of the HICAS I was want to get track my car (when I eventually get to it). I did not read into the 'reliability' of the HICAS in R34's to know whether they are likely to break or not. The only 'advice' I can relay in regards to that is that my car has just over 150,000kms on it and I believe it was the original HICAS unit. Hopefully this helps.

Competed in a motorkhana that was held locally today, such great fun. Was my first 'track day' excluding 1/8th mile drags. Had a blast and was surprised at how I went. Pics/vids to come throughout the week.

Here's a couple of links :)

Excuse the long starts, currently don't have any video editing software on my computer so these are just straight uploads.

Timmy which springs did you get? I have some incoming brand new bilsteins and searching round for a set of springs to match up!

I just bought second hand King Springs on ebay (I plan to fit coilovers at some point so didn't want to buy new).

I'm pretty sure King Springs only have one model number for front and one for rear so whatever that is sorry lol. I can look for pictures of the model numbers if you are stuck.

Here is a phone video, I'm yet to go through the GoPro footage.

Excuse the bad camera zooming (friend doesn't know how to use phone camera apparently :P) and the commentating. The guys that run it often talk crap but it's usually amusing haha.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

      By r32-25t · Posted

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
