Hi guys - just a quick hello from Washington.

We have spent a few days in New York, and have been to Niagara Falls, and now Washington. The weather is awesome, sights fantastic and we are having a ball!

Cars here are very cool, and I have been taking plenty of photos of interest. Haven't seen any Skylines - except for V35s, of which I have only seen 3. Got some photos of them too!

Hope everyone is well, and I might do a longer post with some photos, when I get to Boston early next week, and have time to upload/edit them.

Hey Nightcrawler

Im in Calgary Canada at the moment but im commin to the USA in 2 days time (Seattle). I dunno what its like in DC but here every1 is driving Acuras and Hondas, I saw a R32 GTR for the first time this week in Banff (brought bk memories of home :P). I had a stop over in London for a day and that whole time I only saw 1 import which was a Soarer, the cost of fuel ova there is like $3 AU i think so imports arnt so popular. Newayz have fun man and if u can stay in a hostel with a bar, even if u can afford a hotel they are the best fun and u meet so many different ppl.

Cheers, Spangers

PS Anythin happening in SA?

Hmmmmmmmmmm I'm Jelous Andrew!

RIGHT now i'm currently supposed to be in LA BUT still stuck in Adelaide which sucks!

My Parent said the weather in NY was Awesome the other week. Like 30 odd something...

Anyway hope you have fun!

Like i said so so so jelous!

Sounds like you guys are having a ball Andrew. I'm guessing Caroline is with you?

By the time you read this you will have left Washington so I hope you had a chance to check out the Smithsonian (Smithsonians really as it's 7 musems in total!) the Aerospace museum is awesome! Plus all the usual places: The White House, Arlington (JFK's grave/changing of the guard etc.) The Pentagon and so on.

I have vivid memories of my last trip to the States (mid 2001) I even did the trip to the top of the World Trade Centre (can't remember which tower it was) and still have a little Statue Of Liberty that I bought from the gift shop at the top of the WTC.

Enjoy the rest of the trip mate. Stay safe.

I'll finish off with... GO THE CROWS!!! :wub:

Well we just got home safe and well - I am heading to bed now, but will do a nice big post in the next day or 2 outlining our adventures. As we have just come from Hawaii, and I have now been out of bed for over 24 hours (13 of those spent flying), I am stuffed!

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
