  1. From my information it is low brake fluid warning, but if it has plenty of fluid, it could be as simple as a connection problem, or plug problem. My translater isn't home till after 9.00 tonight, so will confirm after then. Cheers, D
  2. A lot of the problem with cars in NZ is getting them here. The Aust gov makes registering something like this nearly an impossible dream because the red tape and conditions make it a mammoth task. I looked into bringing over an KHR30 and it's buy price was less than NZ$1000.00 yet freight & charges made it nearly AU$10000.00. Just hopeless it is. Cheers, D
  3. Not ALL RS-X's came out with all the electrics. The 2000 RS-X Turbo C were standard equipment with the full electric options from 1984 model with facelift bumpers, but could still be optioned off at time of ordering from the dealer. D
  4. Call me or text me on 0406142529 as I know where there is an C210 sedan & I can send you pics by phone and you can tell me yeah or neah. I'm going to be up your way for xmas. Cheers, Dennis

  6. Hey Ricky, I could, but I don't think they will fit in the same size package I don't know that I am at the moment, but all might change before then. You going to spring for the freight? D
  7. Well ya got me! If I was gettin my tyres for free, it don't matter really what they are eh? I have a couple of sets of 245/45 x 16 Yokohama A008-RSII that cost me nearly nothing, they are about 5 years old, side walls aren't as flexible as might be liked, useless as track tyres, but curious how they might perform as road tyres. D
  8. Each to his own I guess? But having driven on Australian roads for over 40 years and traveled over 3000000km in that time, in all sorts of vehicles, I know exactly why they make road tyres and track tyres and why profiles are so important. With your 35/40 profiles on your 18 inch rims, I would recommend you buy a kidney belt and wear it everytime you drive. Your tyres are going to be so hard, your ride quality will be almost nil, you will be able to roll over a 5c piece and know if it's heads or tales, when driving on cement/concrete roads your going to be tracking the joins/expansion joints like nobodies business, miss cue just a little and clip the high side of a driveway kerb, or hit a pot hole and you're most certainly going to be buying another tyre and possibly another wheel rim as well. As for semi slick tyres on the road, yes they are street legal, but only because they have grooves in them. The side walls are not designed to take ANY abuse, scraping/rubbing a gutter, or bumping a kerb and your likely to be looking for replacements. They do not like the heat cycling that occurs in road driving conditions, because once they reach operating temperature, they like to stay there, not get hot & cold like a road tyre. They are also going to have a 270kph speed rating when in Victoria, with more speed cameras than anyone would care to know about, get caught doing much more than 120 and your pride and joy will be parked for quite some time. All seems a huge waste to me when other sizes are available and designed for the purpose at hand with costs significantly lower and therefore more economical. I wonder if you or anyone consideres the insurance side of things?? Even Shannon's & Just Cars frown on anything more than a plus 1 concept. They will take your money and say nothing until it's time to pay out on a claim. JMHO D
  9. 18's on your 5 stud conversion eh? What tire size do you plan to run on them Marc??
  10. Is it staying in NSW?
  11. Does the external wastegate control the boost??? As it has been suggested to me that it might not due to the position???
  12. And here I'm thinking you're half intelligent???
  13. Have you made any enquiries about compliance yet?
  14. There is nothing worse than a woman's scorn eh?
  15. That's very good Chris! I'll bid for it if you will stand on the bow in bra & knickers at next years Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. D
  16. For anyone that might be interested? http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=h...0.jpg&title= AND it's in what could be best described as a bit ordinary condition. You might now see what I was recently offered for 1 of mine. Cheers, D
  17. Now don't that look just yummo! That looks nearly nice enough to eat.
  18. I don't think any conversion is as easy as replacing with original. If it's going to do the job & you want an easy fix, rebuild your box would be the best way in my opinion. At least you know it's going to go straight back in and work.
  19. What did you do to get 288 at the wheels fella? I'm curious wondering what I can expect from my rework.
  20. I'll post those bits to you soon Ricky, just at the moment we walk out the door & melt. I know I'm a woose, I cant handle the heat, I must be gettin old.
  21. Z32 box is best of the best. Just needs to have the FJ front housing fitted, or fing an R33 RB25 front housing and Stewart Wilkins tells me it's just changing the 2 bottom holes. Some just elongate them to suit, but stewart blanks them and re drills. There was an Z32 box on ebay recently for $299 in Queensland. Cheap as chips, as I paid $700 in Adelaide & the going price in WA is about $1500, very similar to an RB25 GTSt box. Stewart also says an R32 RB20DET box is ok, not the R31 asa the synchroes are not up to the task. If you get really stuck, drop me a PM and we will have to do some negotiating on my stock. Cheers, D
  22. ummmmm so I guess a set of R32 GTS wheels on an R30 would be considered standard because they are Nissan wheels??????? If this is what you're saying, then let's not have anything else but 1 class per vehicle and ANYTHING goes!!!!! Will make everything easy for 2012 Skynats and save a sh!tload on trophies.
  23. Looks like an interesting publication http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...=STRK:MESELX:IT
  24. OK, I try to behave! Password is now changed so it should not happen again
