Oosh

What sort of pressure is it being exposed to? If it's anying like what's being vented, i.e. a partial atmo, then i'd be sus on masking tape holding up.

Maybe the Vic government could get of their arses and build an international level drag setup like Sydneys new one (forget what/where it is).

The box is actually the flash, the camera's in the car on the passenger side dash, and they cop it a fair bit. True about the MP, then vote Bracks out (doubt much will change tho), or why not write a letter to the editor of like everyone else! I don't have that much trouble spotting mobiles because i'm on "heightened alert" when I'm bending the rules . I don't HABITUALLY speed. As for the fixed intersections ones, they all have "Speed Camera in Area" signs up at all 4 approaches (even though they only cover one), not to mention speeding through intersections is approaching suicidal with the number of dicks who run reds. And everyone knows the tunnels are full of them so it amazes me anyone is stupid enough to get caught there. So on the balance it's not that hard to have a little "fun" and avoid a fine the only ones that worry me are cops with lasers.

He could have been trying to open it in a small window and not maximised it, shit i dunno, just trying to be helpful. Congrats on your hi-res and large screen btw!

I'm certainly interested in the speedo adjuster since i have a 4.3:1 diff. Now for $80 the boost controller looks good, but it's another $60 for the hand-contoller, so if that's ALL you use for it's now $140 for a boost controller. If you don't have a boost solenoid you'll need one of those too. THEN you have to set it up, which if you don't have some sort of RPM/Speed and Boost data-logging is going to be a hit and miss affair, relying more on gut feel than real data, for on road tuning. Therefore most people will require dyno time for the setup which equals more money. Suddenly a secondhand HKS EVC, or similar, with self-learning (which just needs a backstreet to give it a good thrash) doesn't look so expensive. Not to mention they're a proven unit. Now i think it's great there's some aussie outfits getting in to this for a good price, and you could save a bit by sharing hand-controllers etc, but you need to look at the TOTAL costs associated with these things. Also i can GUARANTEE you which one will hold its resale value the better.

If you want to post signs warning motorists that's up to you, if you're unhappy with Speed Camera policy tell your MP about it, but don't give the operators grief they're just doing their jobs.

If you're running IE make sure you don't have Auto Image resizing on, one of the more annoying default "features" it comes with, in the menu go: Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced (Tab) and scroll down and disable the option shown in the attachement below. - Ash.

Skipping the cruise is a good idea, individually and collectively we should all be doing our best to keep Skylines out of the news, considering the number of HiPo car stacks of late a pontential SAU pile up would be an enormously bad thing (over and above the normal consequences) for the community. Hopefully I'll make it tonight, if i get my front bar back on or scam a lift off RowdyR32 (that's if he's going), not sure if i'll be signing up since i'm moving to Adelaide for 12 months next year but i WILL be after a sticker!

Have you given the ECU fault codes a look yet? There's instructions on how to display and interpret them, I can't find them right now, have a search for yourself or hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction. Doing thsi first COULD save you a lot of time.

I'm moving to Adelaide at the start of Feb, so on the off-chance you still have this gear, i'll be interested (esp. steering wheel). Cheers.

I can't rid of mine quick enough, and boy does it wheeze, sounds like it's going to explode when rev'd past 3500 RPM. And it's in good nick for a 12 yo Commo! Feels like the biggest bucket of sloppy sh!t when i jump in it compared to Skyline! Anyway i digress, my biggest hatred is Washer LEDs, nothing irks me more. I also hate crome hub caps, fake discs, and stock lancers with big rims showing of those AWESOME rear drums!

http://shop.fabre.com.au/store/products/it...em113.inetstore I THINK this is the one, doesn't explicitly say Skyline anywhere but since Ryco list their A360 as suitable for VN-VT V6 and all the RB Skylines, i say it'd be a safe bet. I'm still measuring mine when i get home though. To ANY Vics thinking of getting one of these, freight seems to be $13 for orders of 1 or 100, save a few bucks and order together.

It should be behind that little grill, just as the centre-console surround heads vertical, and check there's no tears in that heat-proof Al foil stuff it's warpped in so it's only picking up the air not radiant heat from your stereo etc.

Area: Beaumaris Location: Church St Details: Southern end, at the intersection with Balcombe Rd, in the southbound lane. Just before you turn ther is a BIG sink hole, they're already filled it once, and it all sunk in AGAIN. Area: Mentone Location: Como Pde West Details: Heading from the round-about through the shops, immediately after the pedestrian crossing there is man-hole sunk in the surrounding road, keep well left and avoid the temptation to cut in to the turn lane and it should pass safely under the centre of your car. The aforementioned Mentone Bunnings is a killer, come in the same entrance to the service road but avoid the first driveway into the carpark and head the next one 50-100 metres along.

Southland shopping centre in Cheltenham apparently ahs one of the highest car theft rates in Vic. The worst area is in the far corner by the train line and Bay Rd, it's quite isolated with no through traffic, avoid it people.

Try the fault codes immediatley after it happens, if a sensos is faulty/loose it should show up, definately soudns like you're dropping to "limp home" map though.

The Aus Lexus Soarer Club guys did some tests on Toyota OEM filter vs. K&N, they found while the OEM had marginally less flow the filtration was streets ahead of the K&N, they flow so well at great expense to filtration. Fine dust WILL get in to your engine, so long as you change oil regular it might'd be a problem, but... Obviously this is another car manufacturer but Nissan didn't cut many corners on the Skyline so why not trust them with the air filter? I'd try to source an OEM item.

Yeah i was gonna say check the temp sensor, it's in the same general area. MrGTS4: Check you sensor isn't near something hot.

First thing i thought too... not sure if that's a good or bad thing, i'm undecided.

MAF-less tunes end up higher power when you've been maxing the AFM out, so you ignore it and tune soley on MAP, but as a general rule it ends up in being a worse "tune" as you have less resolution. Now i stress the word "general", some are fine, with all these things it comes down to the quality of the tuner. As a side note, some of the 300 odd KW HSVs use a MAF-less tune whereas the regular GENIII variants use MAF (and possibly MAP).

That's exactly where the "MAP sensor" is hooked up to, now call it what you want but that black box on the firewall reads engine pressure/vacuum, so my guess is both the ECU and std gauge read from it. MAP & MAF tuning are not mutually exclusive, you can run a car with both, and my understanding is that's exactly what a RB20DET does. But, i am by no means an expert, and happy to stand corrected if presented with an authorative source. Edit: btw HCR32, you're very welcome, happy to help.

Am about to sell off the exhaust manifold, so anyone after the "package", get in quick...

Next in line for steering wheel, if silver gts-t falls thru, cheers.

$260, where? I've been in touch with Dan from ModYourCar about stocking these (and other engines) and he's got Greddy items up for $350, but that's a fair bit more than the price you're talking. Also if you're game enough to change an oil filter, you can fit a remote kit, so why pay $100 to get it fitted. You'll only have to go thru the pain of removing the standard setup once.

Further my sitch, finally took the centre cover off the other night and fired her up, nice little ligthenng show coming out of coils 1, 2, & 5. I have another complete set of coil-packs from my previous engine, swapped it over and the difference is night and day! It still needs a little bit of gas at startup, but after that it idles no worries, i all also woound the idle screw on the back of the AAC housing out some as well.
