Ok, so i have been driving around in a less than perfect car for a long time now. I finally have done something about it and taken to opportunity to upgrade as well. Let me know what you think.

The damage;

somebody reverse parked behind me and scraped the rear bumper. Very impressed that they left a note and paid money the next week for it. :) There are some good people left in the world.

I couldn't drive stick for a week due to leg injury so i borrowed parents auto and they had the line. Mum goes down to supermarket, one with those concrete tyre stoppers. oops! Dad tells me, " yeah i was driving the car and there was this weird scraping sound but then it went away". goodbye front bar!

So after a lot of time, i got my act together and booked the car in to Camerons Body works. I decided to also get rid of my coles shopping trolley wing (and fix the rust that had started to creep into the bootlid) and get sideskirts and pods.

Got a quote that i was extremely happy with and gave it to him for a week.

Got it back yesterday and was very happy with the result. Paint match must have been hard ( i do not have code) but they got pretty close. There was an incident with some inner front wheel well guards not being secured but that was easy to sort out. I would recommend Camerons Body works to anyone out there needing some work. Knowledge is good, communication is good, service is good.

The end result.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
