In my photo section of the gallery, you will se pics of my car which i have recently purchased and am awaiting shpment from japan...

I know alot of the things it has, but just wondering if people could tell me what parts they can see... just out of interest

Like, what type of suspension has purple tops? what ECU could that be? I see a HKS Actuator there, is it a HKs turbo? etc...

Thanks, Troy

thanks guys,

Pretty much everything i can see on there is HKS...

The Apexi electronics thing is an AVCR.

Now i know what crap wheels im getting, and i didnt realise the nismo dash!

Im so pumped to get it, its going to be nuts.

Another question. For roadworthy, i can have the guages on the left of steering wheel, im think of using the double din unit for a single din Head unit, and the gap to put 3 smaller guages in. Just wondering if it will leave holes where they currently are? if so, can i replace the top dashboard part?

The ajustable fuel pressure regulator, is that the silver bit on the turbo with "HKS" on it?

And water temp sensor is where?

so far alot of it is HKS...

And Defi guages are? how can you tell?

fuel press. regulator - is the silver thing behind the battery with hoses comming off it

water temp sensor - is in the top radiator hose, you can see a wire comming off it

defi gauges - its hard to tell if they are defi or not IMO but the look very similar they are a defect where they are now and will most likely have to be removed.

HKS above the turbo - thats the watse gate accurator valve

ahh k didnt see the mismatched at first glance, do you know what rule your car will go under? cause the new rule requires the car to be standard.

and a welded cage wont be easy to remove.

ask around find out exactly what your going to b infor when the car gets here

Er... you heard wrong. ive been to syd and qld, and seen the car scene there, modded imports galor, cops dont mind until they start acting supid. cops here are a little less leniant. They zoom in on imports and P-platers. If they see them both mixed its even worse, they will wait for you to pull out of the petrol station and pull you over for a roadworthy test.

Im going to be forever geting canarys taken off. They are harsh as, if they want to find something wrong they will. We are allowed to have some sorts of cages but the restricions are crazy! ill have to look into i, i dont think 7 point is allowed :wassup:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
