Hey Guys,

Sorry I had to leave at Thirroul, Dad and I had stuff to do this arvo. Had a great time driving through the national park, and good to meet some of you from the forums/sau club.

Some photos from Audley

The Stagea's great!!! but there's a few things that really need to be done as precautionary measures for happy / no hassles motoring, best to do a little research on them.

IE: dump pipe/turbo - there's a cat in the stock one that holds a lot of heat on the back of the turbo which has a ceramic exhaust wheel causing early failure also drilling out the oil feed drain is a good mod too. ( turbo has a life expectancy around the 100K km - some of which last longer, I've just hit 100k myself and it's still good and I've given mine a bit of a flogging on the track etc) also cooling mods to suit Australian conditions wouldn't go astray!!!

then there's the usual wear and tear.

But all in all I recommend them!!!

also note: they're not easy to mod as the RB's due to the ECU (they have a VQ motor in them)

but it was a great day out, enjoyed the drive and got a lot of interest/complements on the car which was great!!! most car meets/cruises I go on people ignore it HAHA

Cheers, Theo.

Thanks to everyone who came today for a great day. I hope to see you all again in 2014 for a few more cruises, it was great meeting all those I got to. Also big thanks to James and Danny for organising everything!!

Here are a few photos my girlfriend took from the carpost-95739-13877876960543_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877115038_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877257417_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877393024_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877581132_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877877868009_thumb.jpgpost-95739-1387787805604_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878179008_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878361971_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878572715_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878742851_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878851858_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877878939329_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877879030041_thumb.jpgpost-95739-1387787918993_thumb.jpgpost-95739-13877879325783_thumb.jpg

Apologies if its crap. It's my first time filming and editing. Still have plenty to learn. !

Video was great and so are the photos :) No problem in editing at all! It was a great cruise, should do it again sometime!

Merry Xmas to all !!

    • 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

    • 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.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
