Yeah i didnt think that i could barter much wiht them, i think that i did well to get out of the yellow!

I ended up having 5 beers and a Red label and coke... was feeling pretty happy by the time that i got to bed. I so love that Little Creatures beer that they make in Freo.

I had a bottle of wine the other night and it was sooooo nice... might do that again... Of course it will be while i am cooking dinner... :)

Nose front... what the?? i have witnesses.... haha

Is yours just running badly? Might just need some TLC and a service!

Haha wish that i could work the street, somehow i dont think that i would get much, if anything i think that i would end up with less!! ha

Just got to get that damn lotto win in hand! (Mmmm wish list)

Oh, why cant it be Friday already i hate mondays, so many days till the week is over.

nah had a service on April - but it get sserviced by a trev so anythings likely ..... from my experience most of my problems with cars stem from fuel .... maybe this needs a S-AFC or sumthin.

hehe i got major air on friday night - poor car bottomed out ..... i feel sorry for the punishment i give it specially since its an auto.

i didnt win lotto on Saturday - no fair!!

Bought a Gameboy for my trip to SA on Sunday..... there went $250 dollars.

I got major fuel problems too, mine is running heaps rich.

I still cant believe how low yours is, looks awesome. I have got a few pictures left to take amd then i can get the roll of film developed that i was taking.

I thought that your car was a manual!

I didnt win lotto either, most i had was 2 numbers, and that was on two lines and that was it, but the time that i forget i know that the numbers will come up.. knowing my luck!

You are so going to need the gameboy on the way over, it gets so boring... i have done that thing 3 times now and i refuse to drive it anymore. I will fly if i have too.

yeah thinking of sticking mine on the dyno just to see what the curves are like - i know the power sucks :D .... used to be heaps quicker than what it is just think ive thrashed it a bit too much.

nah shes a little auto :D

hehe yeah i warned you it was low :)

sorry had tot ake people around

I think I "guessed" you richie - tall skinny bloke with brown hair and the purple? 180?

weather last night was bullshit. I kept waking up thinking that basketball sized hailstones were about to start falling on me motor! but it was just the wind!? Ive never heard wind so loud!!

Richie - for what it's worth, there were some quick S13s there too..... :)

I dunno if i would call myself skinny but yeah i had the purple 180 with the nice concept 5 look alikes on... i will admit that there were some quick s13's there... but damn.. those lines were awesome... Pauls flames were wicked... just wish that i could have driven and taken pictures!!

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
