Borrowed the full amount for my car

Would have liked to pay cash and save few grand but couldnt wait the couple of years.

"I Boostzor hereby vouch that i will never again use public transport more than a couple of times a year"(all well and good for u eastern states ppl who actually have decent public transport system. Over here every house has 3 cars or more.)

My Skyline died in the first month of my first full time job and while beating the frell out of it on the side of the freeway i told myself i would never own such a hunk of junk again so i went and bought a Toyota.(was '80 c210 skyline btw)

So yeh bank will still own my baby for a few years to come:(

Best offer I could get for a lease was 2yrs/50% resid, I said "you're joking" and wrote a cheque. Funny thing is, the finance company was right, they do loose 50% f their value in 2 years:(

Lease is always the winner for a depreciating asset if you can get it pre-tax (salary sacrifice)

hey ryan. do u not have your car yet? if you;re planning to import u should check out the new import laws. its gonna be pretty pricey very soon.

No car yet, I'm planning to import under the 15 year rule in 2004 (Can get either 1988/9 Cefiro or a 1989 R32 - R32 is at the top of my list) which is the only way you can import a modified car now also. Doesn't need compliance plates either = cheap way to import. I think it's worth the wait.

    • 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.
