Hey all

I've just moved to Manly from Newcastle & want to know who are now my 'local' skyline neighbours for the area.

A northern beaches Skyline owners casual cruze / meeting would be cool.

Anyway I've only seen 1! skyline in manly... actually in an open garage. It's a white r32 GR with plates AOA-???, if thats your car I live just around the corner buddy! hah. Owww & I seen a stock looking grey r33 at warringah shoping centre, that's bout it tho :D

Owww also I’d like to know a good place to ‘test’ out our cars. Back in Newy there was a good industrial road very wide & long & was good fun to give a few boots up & down vs mates.

Cya!

Welcome to the Northside.

Firstly, watch out for our notorious friday night sessions which tend to happen late on friday evenings and usually involve a cruise from Chatswood down to palmbeach stopping along the way at newport for pizza.

Regarding "testing" your car, be careful. We have a good rep with the local constabulary down that way and we certainly dont encourage any behaviour that may damage this reputation.

There are many of us in the area though so your best option is to get along to the next friday night cruise and meet the locals.

Yeah, I'm not a hoon, but I do like to have fun in my car every now & then away from houses & the public eye 'IE, industrial estates'. You cant speed in Syd 'in general' anyway, too many cars & camera's.

Sounds good :D More details about where, when, etc. Man I love cruising at night time, the air is so cold & the horsepower is so high :D

Im near dee why..

I live near an industrial area actually, et me know when your gonna go testing so I can pull up a chair and count the highway patrol cars that rock up.. hehe.. Its amazing how fast they rock up.. I go bed in my brakes then hide the car before the rock up and thats just a few 80 to 0 stops.

Ahhh obviously not a good place then...

geno8r:

I sent you a PM, but you never replied?

luke ^^^ how r ya man...lol only look through these forums, never really posted...

anyway...hey guys im from D Y too and i got a black s13 sil, might meet up with u guys one day!!

cheers,

Ben

Hey Ben,

yeah i'm alright dude... not too long until I can maybe get my licence back - so hopefully it all goes OK! Gotta get a few things done on my car before then though, need a service and a big wash and polish - hehe.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm in frenchs forest :rant:, there's also a guy who parks a series 1.5 black r33 across the road from me too, although i've yet to see the driver, and there's a r32 gtr in my street as well.. i'm up for a cruise sometime too... just waiting to get my car engineered first before i drive in a large group, want to be 100% certain i won't get a defect, and not have to stress the whole time that i'll get done :D

U guys should all come to the Old Pac run on fri the 10th. It not a chatswood to the beaches cruise, but there should be a good turn out, good chance to meet everyone.

As much as I'd love to go on the cruze tonight it is a bit out of the way... Looking forward for a northern beaches one. Someone should organise one & start one in events?? :)

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
