This fix was performed on a soarer but everything to do with the fuel pipe and restrictor should be the same. http://www.reepa.com/fuelnozzle.php Cheers

When I took my car to Gavin Wood he hooked it up to a computer. With this he tested the 4WS. You could see the wheels turn but only slightly.

Never had any experience with synergy, but I have talked to a couple of people in the know and basically what I was told was that Ultimate is refined to get 98 ron and Optimax just uses additives to get 98 ron. For this reason the Optimax will lose ron faster then Ultimate.

I wouldn't leave my oil in for 400,000kms, but then I wouldn't change it at 10,000kms either. I'm no mechanic but 50,000kms sounds like a nice round figure to me. Obviously it would have a lot to do with what you use your car for (drags etc.). I imported my car November 2002. I put Redline Shockproof Light in my car Feb 2003, because I had crunching when cold and crunching 1-2 & 3-4 with spirited (not stupid) shifts. After about 500kms with Redline my gearbox improved. When cold there was the slightest notch from 1-2, When hot it would only crunch 1-2 with moderate to hard shift. I ran this oil for 25,000kms with no other probs. In August 2004 I had to replace clutch so I decided to give Redline Shockproof Heavy a go. I have done about 1000kms with it. If I am not careful it crunches from 1-2 when cold. When hot it doesn't matter how hard I change it will not crunch. http://www.redlineoil.com.au/reseller-locations.asp I would not pay over $120 for Shockproof, check link and ring around

AFAIK we still do not have 98 RON fuel. Closest is Rockhampton with Optimax. BP up here is suppose to be getting ultimate but we will wait and see. Gavin Wood is very good, I took my car to him 2 days after I picked it up and was very happy. Does anyone go Jet Skiing in Townsville?

When & Where? Well I am happy to do a lot of the organising myself but a bit of a hand from someone that has done this before or is keen would be appreciated. I have access to some free advertising and know a few people with grey imports. Do we want any grey imports or just nissans or just Skylines, what do you all think? Personally I would like to see all grey imports as a theme but of course all car enthusiasts would be welcome to attend. Come on lets get this happening, Cairns has already done it. If anyone is interested in helping or would would just like to show their interest please email me [email protected]

Hey Peoples, good to see some Townsville people invading these forums. If you see 96SKY around give me a wave. Also I was thinking of having an import meet, where we can discuss problems, mechanics, etc. and have a look at each others cars. Please let me know what you all think.

I have heard from others that some series 1 cars do not have the fog lights hooked up. Check that there are bulbs there and wires going to them

Exactly JimX. I should have said that I let it sit overnight, but I also do this because I don't want petrol spilling over a hot engine

If the ignition is not switched on I cannot see how the system is pressurized. The fuel pump must be working to do this. When changing the fuel filter, I suggest disconnecting the battery just to be safe. It is also wise to do it when there is not much fuel in your tank. Good luck

Does anyone have or know someone that has a Page Guard PG2000 car alarm system? If so is there any chance of getting a copy of the instructions? Thanx

They just push in Just make sure that your brake fluid resevoir is not full as it will overflow when you push the pistons back in

Both low and high are H1's

Shiro, Could you please explain what the differences are between the R33 & R34 intercoolers. Like what has to be done to fit an R34 GTT Intercooler to an R33 GTST Thanks

Hi NIZ34 Do a search on Hybrid Intercoolers. Personally I have no experience with these but have heard from others that they are good. Another mob to try is Nengun and get it from Japan. Also if you would like to get rid of your stock intercooler let me know.

I have a 1996 S2 GTS-T. 100% stock except mags and suspension. When I picked it up from Gold Coast I got a mechanic to look at it. Had the timing belt and water pump changed, coils cleaned, plugs changed etc. It was also put on a computer so all data could be checked. As far as I am aware it is in 100% working order. Anyway, my car will sit just below the line that is halfway between 0 & +7 up to 4500rpm then it will sit exactly on the line. You can feel it coming on hard at this stage. For an explanation on the gauge go to (GENERAL AUTOMOTIVE DISCUSSION > correct me if im wrong)

Don't know if this would work, but people use to use Baking Soda in their fridges. This absorbs all the fridge smells. I have also seen people use it in shoes to get rid of smells.

i know it sounds dumb but sometimes the most obvious things we miss. are you looking at the seal when the door is opened or closed. If the door is open there will be a gap.

No Dramas NismoGirl, but will that give you or me a discount:D I was quoted about $700 for Timing Belt, Water Pump and Labor. Does this sound reasonable?

Gavin Wood it is then. Thanx all:)

Thanx all for your suggestions:)

T-MINUS 12 days and counting

Thanks for the input. Do these places have Dynos? Are there any others that are worth a look at? I was also wondering if there are any good aftermarket parts shops around Brisbane?

Hello Peoples. I am a long time reader, first time poster on this excellent site. Firstly I'd just like to say thankyou to everyone on this site, as your knowledge and experience has helped me in some way. My story goes: I am from Nth Queensland and I have recently bought a 1996 R33 GTS-T. I will be picking it up from the Coast in a couple of weeks. I wish to take my car to a mechanics to get the timing belt and water pump changed. Also I wouldn't mind a general checkup and a Dyno run. My question goes: Where would the best mechanics (in Brisbane/Gold Coast) be to get these things done? Money is not a real issue but value for money is. Thank you in advance
