Hi there people.

I'm new to this forum, and new to skyline ownership, having bought mine less than a month ago.

Anyway, I was wondering what happened to the main theme of this thread - I'd be really interested in a dyno run, just to get an idea of where my car is at. $50 or whatever sounds fair. Has there been any dates discussed?

Anyway, great to find such an active forum, and some good ppl. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you guys if/when this idea gets off the ground.

take it easy,

Simon.

This whole idea seems to have died so I have got in contact with the guys who helped me with mine last time and they are keen to have another dyno day. Price will still be $50 and it will be in September. More details on Wednesday as I am having a meeting tomorrow afternoon with them.

No probs mate they don't mind, in fact they do a lot of 4wd's when they fit UNICHIP etc. It will be at Cramer Dyno & Performance in Toowoomba. There are pics on my site in the Diary section.

I wouldn't count on Sub Zero turning up, they said last time they were bringing 6 cars and they didn't even turn up at all????

Boxcar Racer....Dream on matey, I am the king of exhaust noise:lol:

Toowoomba sounds good - it's always an entertaining drive up the range :)

In terms of dates, I can do just about anything except the last two weekends of August. (24/25th) or (31 aug / 1 sept) are out for me. Other than that, I can do any time at all.

I'd be interested for sure.

I've gotta get my clutch sorted first! I'm currently getting ****loads of slippage in any gear I try, so that's really messing with my attempts at getting it properly tuned at the moment. Hopefully sort that out this week...

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
