Leaning towards some SSR LM9s now, similar style to MS1s but without the staggered lip and a fair bit cheaper.

I had a sick weekend crewing for my mate James again in his RX7 in Sports GT at Symmonds Plains, few minor issues that need ironing out as you'd expect with a new car that held him back a bit but we're both learning heaps and he's gaining confidence.

Quick update. Still not a great deal happening due to uni, but slowly made a couple of changes. A trip up to Symmons Plains to help my mate James who was racing his RX7 again coincided with a set of

So there's a bit happening at the moment, trying to get as much done as possible before I have to go back to uni, still got a bit I'd like to get done in the next week or so, so we'll see how I go. I

I sorted out the ignition timing issue. After ensuring the cam timing was right, it turned out to be just the timing light getting a bad signal when connecting it to the wire straight off the coilpack

Much excitement today! Got the call from the engineer to say he has been sent the mod plate. Just waiting on a few bits to arrive before I can put it back together then it's good to go!

Pity it's all happening coming up to exams, might just have to be patient and wait a bit longer.

I've decided on wheels, currently organising through Jesse Streeter, went for something completely different in the end. Might wait till they get here and let pics do the talking

I've been working on the car the last couple of nights after study. Got it all back together and initial signs are good. I pressure tested the intake and the new fuel rail has fixed the boost leak around the injectors. Aftermarket oil warning light works well, I can see why they say most engine wear occurs at start up, took a good 5-10 seconds to get oil pressure after sitting for the last few months :/ So far no coolant leaks but time will tell. The only issue was the aftermarket water temp gauge wasn't working, I've had intermittent issues with it so the standard one will have to do for now. Only thing left to do is bleed brakes and it's ready for rego. Going to hold off till after exams though.

Cheers lads. Hopefully just drive it! Got a few small things I need to sort out and a few plans for down the track. Fingers crossed no more mechanical issues for a while.

Wheels update?

I think I'll just spill the beans, I think its stupid when other people try to keep secrets about car stuff haha.

So the wheels I've ordered are Watanabe F8 Magnesium 16x9 +20 in the colour "Brownish". There's only one dealer that I know of locally and Jesse Streeter has saved me about a grand including delivery! The only catch is they are made to order by Watanabe and as such lead time is 5 - 6 months ha.

In the meantime I fitted the mesh 18" wheels I've had for ages and think they look good so will do for the time being.

I paid rego. on Thursday a few hours before my last exam and drove it that night, and every day since haha, such a good feeling! No problems so far (apart from a couple of wallabies :S - smashed GTR style lip).

Also fitted the new cat back exhaust. Without baffles it is pretty loud, with baffles it is surprisingly quiet (about the same as the XForce cat back), so I fitted one baffle and it's just right.

      Pillowball/Hardened Runner Hybrid Approach

      By Duncan · Posted

      To add to that very useful summary, even in the race/rally r32 gtr I have good quality, new(ish) poly bushes everywhere because that is what rules require, and the handling is excellent. Of course, the car doesn't do many klm but I'd still expect poly bushes to last better in road use than sphericals (especially as I have a couple of klm of dirt road to stuff sphericals up) I would change the front upper arms to spherical if I was allowed to, because the poly bushes flog out often, but otherwise new bushes (and ball joints) and a good alignment can make a world of difference

      Any chance you can get a Nistune board installed instead and set the speed limit to whatever your tires can handle?

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
