yeah i thought about that, personal preference i guess, but I figured that i'll be the only one wiring stuff into my car, I've used heatshrink to clearly identify that terminals so if i wire it up wrong its my own fault lol. there is the off chance of something conductive shorting across them, but the terminals are fairly well ressessed so it would have to be one hell of a fluke hehe

yep exactly right, 6 outputs are constant 12volts the other 6 are switched. I have some accessories that require a constant 12v to store their memories etc... thats why I put it in.

very good point!, my setup actually runs through a fused distribution block at the battery, so didn't even think about that lol.

yeah i had a look at those, i've used them before, only thing I don't like is that the terminals are exposed if you have nothing connected, easily solved by putting an empty crimp on it. But they will work just as well, and they have a single input which is even better. I got the 54426 cause it simply had the prewired dual circuits. But any of those would work. here is the wiring diagram, i'll pust pics of it installed this arvo

yeah no worries, I'll do one up this arvo. I changed my layout a little when I fitted it to the car, earthed the relay off one of the main earth leads as I had a weak earth somewhere in the car with the lead that I was tapping into. I'll post up a few pics of it installed as well.

c's shifter are fairly easy to get if u know where, got mine for $150 delivered, brand new from japan. A lot of people I've spoken to over there say that the nismo one is a little nicer on the gearbox as it doesn't shorten the through all that much. The C's one is a lot firmer and as 'yawn' said, it does take more energy to shift. My mate has a nismo one in his S14 (diff gearbox i know) but it does fall into gear a bit easy than my C's. That said, mine is lot shorter throw. I love C's shifters though, had them in all my cars and never a complaint.

First diy/tut so go easy I bought a shift light the other day and thought to myself that with the amount of accessories and electrics I have in the cabin, something is going to fry if I keep using the existing wiring and accessories fuse lines. Solution? Build a breakout board that would guarantee safe, fused power when and where i wanted it. The assembly is fairly straight forward, just need to think about how basic 12V works. I'll post the finished product and give a brief step by step to build it: Features: 12 Outputs, all 30amp fused 6 outputs are constant 12V 6 outputs are switched on when you turn on accessories each bank of 6 is individually grounded What you will need: Fuse box (I chose a Narva prewired one that has two banks of 6 for input voltage part number 54426) 2 x 12 gang connector strips 1 x 12v 30amp 4 pin relay 2 x small battery lugs (normally come in a pair anyway) Roll of black and a roll of red wire Heatshrink (6mm stuff seemed to work fairly well) A board to mount it all on Electrical tape (good brand - nitto or 3m) How it works: The constant 12v bank of 6 is pretty straight forward, hook up the fused side to 12v off the battery and earth out the negative sice The switched 12v bank uses a 4 pin relay i to switch the bank on and off. The relay is activated by the existing accessories wire How to build it: Step 1 First of all, line up where you want the fuse box to be mounted, under it drill a series of holes for the wires to run out off, I ended up drilling about 5 holes to make it neat. Step 2 Use small pieces of heatshrink to label the outputs on the gang connector strips as positive and negative. Next, cut 12 lengths of black wire about 30cm in length. Fix these to all the negative outputs on thee gang strips (see pictures below). Then feed the negative wires though the holes you have made on the board. Step 3 Feed the wires from the fuse box through the hoels on the board so that everythign is flat and neat. Connect the output wires from the fuse box to the postive points on the connector strip. Lay them out so that the top 6 outputs go to one side and the other 6 to the other side. Step 4 Group the negative wires into their 2 banks and solder them to the battery lugs. These are now your grounding leads. Wrap them up in electrical tape for safety. The above steps are fairly brief, however it is very straight forward and easy to see what is happening in the pictures below. The next few steps talk about how to hook the relay up and set up a bank for use with the accessories output in your car Step 5 Mount the relay to the board. Take note of the diagram that is usually on top of the relay. When voltage passes through pins 86 and 85, the switch closes which allows electricity to flow from pin 30 to 87. This means that pins 86 and 85 need to go your accessories wire and earth. pin 30 should have constant 12volts running to it, with pin 87 going through to the bank on the fuse box. When accessories in turned on, this closes the switch and turns the bank of 6 on. Any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Cheers, Matt :)

i'll be trying to get my hands on a set for the front, he said 750 sets coming in! He has 225/45/17 and 245/45/17 in stock as of Friday, but is waiting on the 235/45/17 which will be this load coming in, definitely going for a drive on Monday

+1 for treads international, picked up a set of semi slicks street tyres from them on friday, $60 each for 17's, retail for $435 EACH new! 80-90% tread, they stick like a mofo.

there is a place down near the port of brisbane i get my stuff from, I think its called Johns or Jons paint shed, best prices i've seen. I've used the cheaper stuff before that he sells (not the high end stuff) and its worked out brilliant on my cars (2005 dodge viper red), will be hitting him up for some more for the skyline in the next few months. Matt

another z31 bites the dust, i had fuel issues in mine, my mates z31 caught fire on 2 occasions because of fuel leaks lol, z31's are bad for it. I've seen that one around, i think thats go an RB motor in it? late model 1988 or something. Was quite a nice example.

hope they got better delivery vehicles than when i worked there (bout 3 - 4 years ago now) horrible! Discount was good though

you have PM

hey mate, yeah i know there not hte ones your after, that was an early model, 84 vintage, but i'm pretty confident there are some wreckers in brissy that would have em. WHen I was rebuilding my car i bought brand new blinker/parker lights from nissan, think it was about $30 for hte pair

hey mate, note sure where your located, but there are a few places to go, first place i'd try is the Z workshop in sydney - 02 98752098, family based business, but very helpful (even if shipping can take sometime) and almost always had parts i needed when i owned a z31. They will even get stuff in direct from japan if required at good prices (polyeurethane front bodykit for $375 delivered anyone?) My old z with old rims:

mate all this stuff gone? need intercooler, cheers

ran with a r33 gtst last night, black/silver with a white left hand door, nice running with u mate - that a external wastegate i heard?

sure do Pm me

still for sale guys, need to move it! $200 delivered Aust. wide

Got on last night and my profile was gone >< had to start again, not a happy chappy, was fairly high up too ><

couldn't afford to go the way i wanted to go unfortunately As far as I know, they aren't any mobo's out for AMD that support DDR3. I belive the new Phenom Quad Cores that are about to come out may support it (don't quote me though) which will in turn mean DDR3 mobo's. AMD has said that all their new CPU's will be backwards compatible (back to just AM2, including AM2+), so whether that means DDR3 for the older CPU's I really don't know sorry. That said, I got 2 Gig of DDR2 which is fine for pretty much anything, not much I know how that would take advantage of DDR3 just yet. cheers

ok ok, well as far as i know first in australia, my supplier got the first two and I got 1 lol. Mate, make it $200 delivered via express. How does that sound? need to pay the credit card off lol.

you have pm

repco sell the ICE ones but put a horrible markup on it, kinda complicated to explain the ICE/Repco relationship though. PM me with your suburb and i'll tell you where to go

ICE thermos are made by OEX there the ones I was talking about hehe good value for money
