  1. Aquaplanting occurs when water is trapped under the wheel and cannot escape through the tread pattern on the tyres. Due to the water not being able to flow out, it lifts the tyre off the road and hence causes loss of traction to the road. What you said above makes no sense because aquaplanting can occur when the wheel is spinning. Unless you have done driver defensive courses whereby the instructor has directly told you that jumping on brakes is the worst thing you can do etc (i would like to speak to him), please do not provide comments/tips on how to react in a situation because any misinformed information can severly affect people once they cross up.
  2. To anyone reading the above, please ignore anything said in the quoted post. In any scenario where the car starts to oversteer the safest method is to jump on the brakes. Any driver instructor will say the exact same thing. Last thing we want is a bunch of people thinking i'll try and power out of this mess and end up in more problems. What a rally driver may have said cannot be applied to on-road scenarios as they are completely different. (having done a rally driving course, the goal is to jump on the brakes to shift weight forward and then turn and power, making the front drive wheels pull the rally car through the corner whilst the rear oversteers. This obviously will not work in a rwd car, whereby counter-steering is involved etc) By steering and powering in a rwd car, you are only continuing the oversteer and any regular driver will just end up spinning out quicker. Strongly suggest driver training for anyone owning an import and not mention hearsay for the safety of others.

    Spotted an unmarked white Ford FG ute!!! It pulled over a car on princes hwy on Saturday night. No antennas on the rear, it looked like a bog stock falcon ute but saw the blue/reds flashing! No chance picking that out on the streets without the tell-tale antennas Have been warned!

  7. Its a OZA395-E2 sensor. Good idea about the ecu reset, ill go do that now. Will post results soon. Thanks
  8. Hello all, After a minor tune and an extensive drag day, I noticed that my car was pulling/hesitating when crusing. I looked into the o2 sensor voltage and saw that whilst crusing (ie constant revs) my o2 sensor voltage would sit at 0.04v and not fluctuate between 0.00 - 1v as it should. (NOTE: I am reading the o2 sensor voltage via the ECU through Consult Port Readout!) Only when I would stop at the lights and idle it would fluctuate and when I accelerated. So thinking it was a busted o2 sensor, I bought a brand new NTK o2 sensor. Put it in the car and followed NTK's testing method; When revving and holding at 2000rpm, the voltage is sitting constant on 0.14v and I still have the same issue of 0.04v whilst cruising on the streets. (Reading from Nissan Consult) Therefore it appears my problem is not o2 sensor related? My question is; What else affects the o2 sensor voltage? Why is my voltage not fluctuating? Can it be fuel-map related? (ie. my latest re-tune?) Can I disconnect the plug from the o2 harness and directly hook up a multimeter to get a raw voltage reading? Or does it need to be plugged to the car? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
  9. seven seater?! Now that would be interesting haha

    Was highbeaming and beeping at Kris and his Fanta 33. I was the Getz harrasing you haha. Wtf you doing turning down that street off Stud road?
  15. haha the r32's (with the projector bulb headlight design) are known for poor lighting. I ended up buying some super-dooper phillips diamond crystal vision globes. Strongest range from Phillips and do shit all on the streets haha
  16. Was waiting at the lights last night. Some white VW polo rocks up next to me full of guys. Listening to some doof doof. We both move off from the lights and the VW begins to do a u-turn. As i pass them, the passenger throws an egg at my car and drive off.... Good thing it was only my rust bucket Hyundai Getz. Washed the car and drove around a bit trying to find them but no luck... Moral of the story; VW polo's are driven by faggots
  17. no They are a suspension workshop with a yokohama license for rims.
  18. princesssssssssssssss hwyyyyyyyy lapssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss an import caught on princes hwy on a friday night will always have a harsh/strict cop. Majority are there to do laps and cops do not like this. Dont do the laps, dont do the time. (was driving from city last night, there were so many cop cars hiding behind bustops, sandown bridge, median strip etc and people still doing laps! My trusty Hyundai Getz didnt even get a blink ) Moral of story; dont go on princes hwy on friday night with your import. (thats assuming you were honestly not speeding)
  19. sorry for the late reply, here are my results to a 52mm radiator in a rb20 r32. Hope it helps. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/52...st-t327859.html
  20. nah got an epic throat infection. Cant swallow, eat or drink due to the pain. Dont get sleep either as I wakeup from the pain. Its beyond what strepsils, throat sprays can cover. May as well just eat regular candy lol
  21. epic gg, came down with an epic virus. Monday - Thurs Day off. Dont see it going away on Friday either...
  22. Can someone do a Parts search for me on Nissan Fast? Im after the top radiator mount bushes. My vin is; HCR32297565 The bushes to the left/right of the radiator cap. Thanks
  23. wtf why did you pull out your AFM? You bolt air-pods onto the AFM???? edit see here;
  24. Fan force SMIC http://autospeed.com/A_110214/cms/article.html http://autospeed.com/A_110215/cms/article.html Intercooler water spray with results; http://www.mearcat.com.au/kits.html http://www.mearcat.com.au/coolerresults.html Intercooler water sprays work by having atomized water droplets evaporating on the core. The evaporation process absorbs heat. (Exactly how sweat cools your body down, God didnt install that on us if it was only a couple degrees difference )
  25. ah alternator that sounds like a good idea! Might trace back the wiring from the alternator and see if there is any easy place to splice into. Thanks for that.
