Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Hopefully can get the car running this weekend (*free plug for anyone that wants to help* :) so next weekend i can get new parts in and organise to get it tuned :banana:

Well the cage is finished. only took a fortnight. just gotta get the windscreen back in tomorrow. haven't painted it yet as im unsure what colour to do it in. Same blue as the exterior, Satin black or a nice Charcoal grey. What do you guys think? also got the flywheel and clutch to go in so i will do that at work this week. ready for the hill climb this sunday.

paint that cage while the glass is out. charcoal would be my pick. do it as a few weeks back i helped prep and paint a cage and it would have been 100,000,000 times easier without glass.

my front shocks arived today. they are a pair of bilstines of unknown age and condition but they have already shown they are 100times better than the original ones that i had. only problem is that my pedders lowered springs sit to low on even the highest heigh adjustment so i think ill get some whiteline spring on the way or just go back to my standard springs for a while.

now i just need the rears.

Well my car is still a pile of steel, but hopefully I will be able to make a start building the clubman this week - If anyone is keen to build a clubman, apply for the transport approval now! before we catch up with the mainland ADR's at the end of the year, it costs nothing to apply and you have 2 years to build one from the time you get approved. Shoot me a pm if keen and I will forward you the application forms :P

Are they circlip hieght ajustable? If they are, just take them to a machine shop and have some more gooves machined.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
