You guys and gals should be ashamed! Not once have I read anything that expresses any concern whatsoever for the welfare of the ROO!

What of its family???? Did you think of THAT??? Oh Nooooooo too worried about chasing replacement parts I see.

You should all feel suitably chastened.

Jeeeeez......

heh heh heh

Yes, joking. Definately. But I admire Roos, they have better target lock than an F-18 Hornet. An F-18 needs to use radar to seek and acquire, but not the Roo. A bus (or Shell's car) leaves it's home port thousands of km away and, hours later, in the middle of a flat deserted plane with nothing but dirt and no other vehicles in sight, the Roo just knows exactly where to be so it can intercept the bus grille with pin point accuracy. Impressive.

i thought of the roo!! but i couldn't find the bloody thing!! :D

in all seriousness though, i never like to see an animal in pain...i would have rung the cops to put it down if it had been injured after hitting me. They do this with no problem, they put a bullet in the head of one my friend saw hit a car one night.

Bad luck Terminal, uncanny two like leech_

I was on my way back from Bungendore one night with my girlfriend riding shotgun. Been sitting on 130 since i left and hadn't touched the brakes, so I thought it would be a good idea to warm em up incase i need them. Started doing a few hard brakes down to 40kmph to get them really hot and low and behold around the very next corner was about 50 roos all over the road. I steered around two and stopped right infron of another who got confused and keeped hopping down the road and not off it.

Would have been carnage for sure had i not been doing only 50 or so when i saw them.

Some of us have all the luck. lol

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
