Defintely an AFM problem Check those...connections...wires....did u get your afms wet?

Defintely an AFM problem Check those...connections...wires....did u get your afms wet?

My question posed to you was not a rhetorical one meant to insult you, rather an entirely valid one imho You seem to paint the impression in your previous posts that your interest in the shifter was not for its fucntional properties but more for its novelty and that similar peer or public interest in the shifter was a driving consideration. Further you choose to cite the analogy of "who really needs a skyline when all of us can drive corrollas" I just asked if these were the compelling factors that led to the choice of your vehicle, since they seem evident in your interest in the shifter. That said, please do not huddle insults at me. Why the need to mention that you own 4 companies and such? Does that make you more of a person than the rest of us? Does tat render me a fool because i do not own such assets? Cheers

Do u mean to say that you drive an R33 GTR V-SPEC (if you really are) just because of its novelty factor and that your mates think its a sick car?

If the above conversation is still about the ikeya shifter then i can gurantee you will still experience missed shifts if u shift too quickly. You are still limited by the fundamental construction of the standard box. A mate of mine put it on for a while and realised that its not much more than a rice item.

2 Questions... (sorrie if this has been raised before) 1. If the vehicle in question is a personal import, what kind of duties are imposed(and how much)? 2. As a personal import is the vehicle still subject to compliance rules that that state the vehicle must be stock standard? Thank you!

The biggest reason why pple move to sequential boxes is to enable faster shifts. Ikeya Formula sits on top of the standard box so the speed of your shift is still fundamentally restricted by the design and internals of ur own gearbox. It just changes the h pattern shift to a sequential pattern. You can argue that yanking on the Ikeya formula is slightly faster than shifting your H pattern gearstick, but eventually the weakness of your box will lead to its failure.

Actually... what was the dealers excuse for not paying up? that they r not liable for the car once it leaves the yard?

I might be sterotypical here but to me....all dealers are crooks. (not importers...2nd hand car dealers)

1. On occasions my climate control would blank out. 2. During rainy days i occasionally have trouble turning the steering wheel when the car is stationary. No its not the feel as if the power steering died..but rather if u turned it slowly it actually has specific points of higher resistance and you'd have to increase your effort to turn it.

anyone got pics of his wrecked 34?

Dude...given ur driving record... if i were u i'd seriously consider a full roll cage in ur next car just to make sure ur parents dont regret buying u another car

Hey not bad...look at it from another perspective at least he's proven himself to be a true skyline fan! He's already owned a 34...then a 33...and soon a 32!

Man gotta love ur parents Would they be interested in adopting another son? hehehhehe

U mean he wrote off a 34 GTR before owning this one? Can u post a pic of ur wrecked 34 as well?

169000kms.... Good chance that this car was already clocked on its way from japan to down under... so it might have done 269000 kms for all you know. So be prepared and set aside money for a rebuild....even at a geniune 169000kms....

I think the point is this...there are always dickheads out there...young and old. Its true that young pple will always try to find ways and means to kill themselves, regardless of watever car they are driving, thats just part and parcel of growing up. THat said, its lucky that no one here got hurt. So dont put this guy down just because he's young and was lucky enough to drive such a car, unless u r saint enough to claim you've never done stupid things when you were young. In the end, theres alot in life that depends on luck...perhaps fate.

As mentioned in your other thread. You could look into buying a bareshell and swapping all the bits over. But then again why do u still want to drive a gtr?

Mines: U might want to look into getting a bare shell and swapping all the bits over, since from the looks of it i dont think any if little of the engine/driveline is damaged. But the damage to the chassis is unrepairable. Everyone makes mistakes. Thats part of life. Whats impt is that we learn to emerge the wiser

can someone tell me why their budgets are so big as to permit the purchase of such fancy cars for police work?

:headspin: haha Thats true as well....but looks are subjective...so which pedals look the best? Has anyone seen the stuff offered by nismo?

Contary the best racing pedals are no pedals at all. Anything that comes between your foot and the actual factory pedal further reduces feel. Its the reason why racing shoes are made with thin soles so as to enhance feel. So after market pedal caps (i call them those becos thats what they are...they do not actually replace the factory pedals) are actually a step back. If pedal placement is a problem (i.e u find it hard to heel toe because the pedals are too far apart) then u can try bending the pedal stem to get the pedals to sit at the correct height and position you desire

I think the govt is trying to take a hard stand against the practice of vehicle modications because of the various social problems that it has been associated with over the years. Surely it does not imply that it is the root of the problems. But unfortunately that consensus is not shared by the majority of society

CHEAP CHEAP! If only i could buy one now!! Free bump!

Looks Like Nats is set for a poor turnout this year...
