  1. you dont expect the 4 bit chip to sample every second do you? -jk
  2. yeah that is raw deal. i would still complain. however, did nissan know there was still a noise after they fixed it? only thing i see standing in your way. certainly shouldnt have had to deal with this in the first place. $30 aint much to lose so pursue it. alternatively, take it to someone who knows gearboxes to find out what is wrong, and then see if nissan/au will accept fault/compensate. long shot, since you be out of pocket, i doubt they (nissan) will give you a new gearbox personally.
  3. hiho, anyone had any luck getting gt4 pal working with hdloader. i ve got 2 older ps2 here. 1st one's laser is dead, the 2nd one wont read dual layer games, eg gt4. cannot find the original toolboy tutorial following sketchy forums. basically followed the steps, but crashes at copyright notice. tried several methods. anyone can help? hb
  4. that website timed out or somit for me. i have a microbee lying in a closet. i think sweden or somit is the only other country to have seen them, even tho they are australian. think we fired it up a few years ago, but the keyboard springs are knackered. has a disk drive on this one, the size of a shoe box. remember having an orange screen, but dad paid some tv guy big $ so we could get colour on a small tv. might be interested to see the emu if it ever gets out.
  5. i got badged last year. rang up a wrecker, who wanted to sell me the whole locking mechanism for $110. Told him my ego could live without a badge. Lock still works, but rattles. Was just at nissan this afternoon. Asked if the 200sx had similar locks, but they look to be just key holes =( Was hoping off chances was a domestic nissan with similar lock. Why arent parts standard across brands? Also the fender GT badges are different sizes between R32 and R33.
  6. Surely this is intended for exceptional circumstances. Not oops or ive been dodgey for years and my luck ran out. eg, medical emergencies etc. pregnant wife to hospital, or cant wait for ambo or somit.
  7. cant make it. will be tied up till 8.30ish
  8. was there a skid pan used, or just standard straight line or swerve. ive done the basic course before, waiting for skid pan tho.
  9. Still interested in blinkers. Message me details.
  10. Crazy shit. Of course i dont condone such actions =p
  11. My friend told me up in Darwin, you pay a higher rego for V8s etc. Prefer a user pays via fuel. If you need to drive and use the roads, then pay for them. So long as the money is put back where people are using them. As for speed cameras, just dont speed. As for road works? they totally stuffed the lights around the corner from me. black spot my arse. Now i dont even understand all the arrows.

    Chasers Tuning

    I only ment to ask, whether there is any benefit to taking the car to a (performance) shop that knows skylines inside and out. Will leave it be for now.

    Chasers Tuning

    Just wondering if there is anything that can be done for an automatic with stock computer. My car gives shitty gas mileage, much more than i'd expect. Wondering if replacing the O2 sensor would help. This might be the wrong thread to ask. Also managed to stall the damn autobox this morning. Does it ever few months, coming to a stop sign. And also been having ongoing issues, with warm starts. doesnt crank over, after a short drive/stop. eg, petrol station. Since it is automatic, rules out PFC. Think you can only use piggyback fuel controllers, etc. How do people tune a standard computer?
  14. bit of proof reading required too, but overall rather nice. is sony putting in for gt4 promo's?
  15. beware the grannies in their echo's too. they just love to undercut you at the lights and swerve in front. or is my car that slow? i swear, echos are evil.
  16. How long does it take to get there? Looks to be past the airport. Still deciding, but i cant even find the place to register on website. =(
  17. are they moving or closing or stocktake ? =)
  18. Isnt the VIN on the build plate, usually on firewall, drivers side? The engine number would be on the bottom side of the motor, but i doubt trouble there.
  19. Curious to know how low these things sit? Is the car still legal clearance, and does it scrap over speed humps etc.
  20. bah, that shit is prolly worth as much as me car =p
  21. Other question that comes to mind, if the car is boosting constantly, is it worth upgrading the stock intercooler? I imagine it would heat up consistantly, or have i missed the point?
  22. I',m interested in this. But silly question is, running high boost all the time, is going to produce poor fuel economy? or should i just set the mode to wet or whatever for driving sedate?
  23. The spin will happen when you boot it coming out of the final turn on to the straight, talk to adz and me. I was lucky and car went left into gravel 180.
  24. Actually, having been to 3 track days, starting to wonder about all the skylines and wrex's i see on the street with monster exhausts, lots of mods, making heaps of noise. Now when i see them i just say to myself, why dont you take it on the track? See what you and car is capable of. Reving out first gear, racing the car up to 80km doesnt mean much. Totally different game. *** After hearing about Snowman's little mishap, i just think back to how difficult it would have been for everyone who doesnt have ABS to fall back on. My brother took his non abs, FF capri to the track a few years ago, and had a ball. The thing ran out of puff on the straights however, but he never left the track. Believe he came off when he went to Calder however. Anyway, what do i find in the mail last week? They (PI) sent him an invite to come for $130. Guess who is asking to borrow my car now ? =p *** Anyway, forgot to thank everyone i met on the day. Prolly see you'll at the meetings with any luck.
